Leith

Leith spent most of his formative years growing up on the coastal fringes of Western Australia without a cinema in sight. There he grew up on the wonders of home rentals before relocating to Perth and gaining access to a proper cinematic experience just in time for the Star Wars Special Edition re-releases. From there Leith's love of movies expanded to volunteering on a Star Wars fan film, reviewing films, writing about film news, and attending film and pop-culture related conventions on the other side of the world. Leith's favourite films are too many to mention but all start with the Star Wars saga, Back to the Future, the Dark Knight trilogy, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings and all things Kevin Smith. With an insatiable appetite for all things pop-culture related Leith also has an unhealthy addiction to the world of comics and can often be found buried under a pile of unread back issues madly trying to catch up on a number of titles coming out from mostly DC and Darkhorse.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Review

The Rebel Alliance makes a risky move to steal the plans for the Death Star, setting up the epic saga to follow. A Hollywood trend has emerged whereby rookie directors of successful but smaller films are thrust into big budget productions, and Rogue One is as good an example of where this approach can go all but perfectly. To be fair however Edwards had more than one success under his belt before ...
