I'm now writing a daily news article for The Daily Heckle. It's been a busy few days for movie news so it's been off to a very exciting, but also tragic start. RIP Wes Craven and thank you for the movies!

This is not the Star Wars The Force Awakens Trailer
As that title suggests quite forcefully (geddit?), this is most definitely not the trailer that will be emerging tomorrow for Star Wars Ep VII The Force Awakens. Excuse the crass bit of racial stereotyping at the end. Other than that, this little video is a real eye opener. Enjoy!

Star Wars Episode VII Title Confirmed: The Force Awakens
As principal photography wraps on Star Wars Episode VII, it has just been confirmed that the new film in the franchise will be known as The Force Awakens. No matter what kind of shit-fit the internet throws, I think it's a decent title.
Yes people will wonder if the next ones will be Star Wars Episode VIII: The Force Scratches it's Balls and Hits the Snooze Button and Episode IX: The Force Realises That Today Will Be the Same as Every Other Miserable Day, Pulls Up the Duvet and Sheds a Little Tear Before Rocking Itself Back to Sleep (or something along those lines) but The Force Awakens is still an exciting title full of promise!
What I would have love to have seen is the mind map/brain storm session that led to this title being chosen. Wouldn't it be great to know all the other possible titles they considered before this one. If The Force Awakens has got people giggling on Twitter, imagine how many snickers there would have been over The Force Arises or The Force Stiffens (ok maybe that last one was never on the cards).
Anyway seeing as I've never been even close to one of the biggest Star Wars fans in the world, just like I'd never seen a single Star Trek film before J.J. Abrams came along, I'm now pretty excited to see what he does with the franchise, especially with the principals from the original trilogy returning as well as new faves like John Boyega and Andy Serkis in the cast.
What do you think of the title? Has it awoken your senses?
