LOTR: THE RETURN OF THE KING was released 21 years ago today. The final film in Peter Jackson's epic trilogy, and among the most successful movies ever made, a day may come when the story of how it was made fails to entertain. But it is not this day…

THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT was released 25 years ago today. One of the most influential horror movies of its generation, and made on a shoestring budget, the making of story will have you scared to close your eyes…

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY was released 33 years ago this week. Acclaimed as one of the great blockbuster action films, and among the best sequels ever made, it remains a hugely spectacular movie with a making of story to match…

The last minutes before penalty shootouts can teach us about managing under pressure.

France's Deschamps doesn't buy into penalty training. This can be spotted.
