Remembering LV-426: Where Are The Cast Of 'Aliens' Now?
"Stay away from her you bitch"...erm actually, it is "Get away from her you bitch"! Can you really believe it has been 30 years since James Cameron's Aliens chest-burst into cinemas and gave us one giant face hug? Where as Ridley Scott's seminal horror Alien monopolised "In space no one can hear you scream", 1986 sequel Aliens took the series loudly roaring into the '80s. Quiet suspense and lonesome corridors were swapped with Bill Paxton's hollering, grenade launchers and the introduction of Lance Henricksen's Bishop. Loud, brash, and a curveball of a film, the jury is still out on whether Aliens surpasses its predecessor. News of Neill Blomkamp's proposed fifth Alien film intends on doing away with a messed up timeline and could actually be the sequel to Aliens that we have always hoped for. Whilst we will leave you to chew on that, let's look at what has happened to the cast since they departed LV-426 three decades ago.

Life Without Pokémon GO: A Superfan's Story
I'm not wearing a red and white cap and there is no Pikachu by my side! As the rest of the world went mad for Pokémon GO I had to sit here as the kid who missed out. Until now that is...the day is here - Pokémon GO finally makes it to the U.K. App Store and I can join in sharing 'Oddish' experiences of dead bodies, exposed infidelity and late night Poké- strip clubs. All from this little VR app, "But how does it work" (my grandma would say). Poké-spoilers everywhere, I became out the loop, so I guess it is time to fill up that Pokédex!
