I went to see Interstellar at the Royal Albert Hall last weekend, with a live score by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and the original soundtrack organist Roger Sayer. It was a profoundly emotional experience, which I've written about here.

I saw Interstellar with a live orchestra – and it left me weeping
Christopher Nolan's sci-fi masterpiece is even more emotional with the power of live music – and a 70ft organ, writes Empire's Alex Godfrey.

Since 2011 anytime I interviewed anyone involved in OCEANS TWELVE I’ve asked them a version of, “Since Tess knows she looks like Julia Roberts, does everyone else on the team know they look like famous people?” I finally put all of their answers together in this post

In 'Oceans Twelve' Tess Looks Like Julia Roberts, So Do They Know They All Look Like Famous People?
This piece is literally 15 years in the making. I've been obsessed with one particular plot point of Steven Soderbergh's Oceans Twelve since I first saw it 22 years ago (wait, what?) and anytime I've ...

I know people love to deservedly praise John Candy's improvisation in HOME ALONE, but Catherine O'Hara is equally amazing. She's rolling with all of his choices and is deep within his emotionality and frivolity, responding to him with equal ease. It's stellar acting work by her.

Absolutely devastated by the news about Rob Reiner. By all accounts a good man, and an incredible director. I wouldn't be who I am without his run of '80s classics - and his wife Michelle shaped those because their love story fundamentally changed When Harry Met Sally, for the better.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

I had a lot of fun writing this month's Fantastic Four cover feature. Ralph Ineson has finally settled the question of who is more evil: Galactus or Finchy from The Office.

Very sad to learn that Barry McIlheney, Empire’s visionary original editor, has passed away. Sharp, funny, and bold, in 1989 he and his team laid down the tone and philosophy of the magazine, something we still strive to follow today. Here’s a piece he wrote for our 400th issue a few years back.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.
