The Lighthouse is one of the most talked-about films of the year and for good reason. The atmospheric horror film is the second feature from Robert Eggers (The Witch) and stars Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe as lighthouse keepers stuck together on a small island. As a storm prevents any relief from the mainland their sanity begins to come undone. The film is engrossing thanks to the two performances, the unique look of the film and the mysterious story....

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is often considered one of the greatest achievements in cinema. Years before The Shining took him to new heights with his creepy, murderous, maniacal portrayal of the real-crazy Jack Torrance, Jack Nicholson was giving life to the fake-crazy (or was he?) Randel McMurphy. Despite the Ken Kasey adaptation being remembered so fondly, there were also bound to be at least a few mistakes hidden away somewhere....

Vile, offensive, and shocking, the Italian cannibal boom of the 70s and 80s grew from ground tilled by the Mondo film–documentary features purported to show real violence and strange rituals from cultures around the world. The cannibal film took this desire to see “real” violence and applied it to a narrative structure, resulting in a subgenre more reviled than any other with grand Guignol-style simulated gore and actual animal violence....

Walt Disney Pictures rarely has any feature that could be called forgettable. The company has had a majority of the population by the childhood for decades, and definitely won’t be slowing down any time soon. That being said, Disney does have the occasional habit of relying on old classics to keep us entertained. No, we’re not talking about the gauntlet of live-action-remakes on the horizon. We’re talking about the Disney rereleases and reissues of some of its famous features, some of which actually generated more acclaim for said films....

Film production can be a dangerous business. As we discussed in our video about 10 Incredibly Hard to Shoot Movie Scenes, getting the perfect action shot can sometimes mean pulling off very risky stunts that have the potential to go disastrously wrong. Fortunately most productions will have plenty of precautions and safeguards in place, which means that on-set deaths are very rare, but there are still some famous cases of actors who died while filming, and others who died before they could finish their current projects....

For those who have been known to murmur, “Wingardium Leviosa,” in their sleep (and sometimes wake up to a floating pillow), these Harry Potter games are for you. Ranked from “pretty fun” to “out of this muggle world”, these are the best Harry Potter themed board games for your next post-Triwizard Tournament gathering. In the words of Albus Dumbledore, “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends....

When Netflix brought back Queer Eye in 2018, the heartwarming reality series was a huge hit once again. Most shows that are part of that genre wouldn’t be described as sweet or compassionate or wonderful, but this show definitely can be. The Fab Five gives someone a makeover in each episode, and the results are so endearing that it’s impossible not to tear up. Since the show is so popular, there are tons of awesome memes that focus on funny quotes or the unique personality traits of each cast member....

If this second decade of the 2000s will be remembered for anything in the entertainment industry, it will be for the epic explosion of quality television content. This past month we watched the great streaming wars begin, but that’s only because almost enough quality content exists to support separate, as well as existing, channels. This isn’t the era of the sitcom, it was the decade of the serial television, and the theories, websites, guide books, and fandoms that come with that....

Tina Belcher was originally conceived as a boy named Dan, but it’s hard to imagine him being any more popular than the girl he became in the final version of the pilot episode. Tina is most fans’ favorite character on the show, and she’s also everyone’s confident, empowered, socially awkward, feminist hero. A lot of the popularity of the show can be attributed to the popularity of Tina, and it’ll be interesting how the show translates to the big screen when the movie adaptation is released next year....

James Wan was first brought on to produce a new live-action adaptation of the Mortal Kombat video game franchise over three years ago. Mortal Kombat was put on hold for a couple of years while he finished Aquaman, but it was recently announced that the film would begin filming in Australia for a 2021 release from director Simon McQuoid. This latest development has led many fans to begin speculating about which characters we might see in the upcoming adaptation, with franchise mainstays like Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Johnny Cage, Liu Kang, Raiden, and Shang Tsung all likely to appear....

The Bachelor franchise is big business and the producers have the program down to a science. About to start its 15th season of The Bachelorette, the franchise has aired more than 240 episodes and 23 total seasons of the reality romance show, as well as a handful of successful spinoffs, including Bachelor Pad, Bachelor in Paradise, and The Bachelor Winter Games. Infamous for its roses, romances, and drama, The Bachelor is still a competition game—and you can’t have a game without rules....

Usually when audiences see product placements in movies and television, they are very intentional, positioned perfectly by companies as a form of advertisement. Producers receive oodles of cash when they agree to include different brand-indicated goods in their works. Although the heyday of chain-smoking characters and inconspicuous labels are long gone, product placements are still ubiquitous on-screen. There’s a different kind of product placement, though, one that happens by accident. Whether through poor editing or unintentional happenstance, these unplanned endorsements gave the companies involved quite a boost....

The horror genre is a massive one and a ton of movies and TV shows designed to scare viewers are released each year. Although a lot of them are completely original, there are also a large number of horror movies that are remakes of other movies. These are either remakes of older movies that came out decades ago or movies that were originally released in another language, like The Grudge, a remake of the Japanese horror series Ju-On: The Grudge, released two years before the first western remake of the film....

In the age of remakes, reboots, and countless rather unnecessary sequels, it’s not uncommon in for cinema buffs to look back on the 1990s and 1980s as golden decades for film. The eras did coin some of the most beloved, iconic movies ever made, so this belief is definitely justified. With 2020 now upon us, nostalgia is stronger than ever, and reliving the good old days by watching classic films from that era is a popular pass time....

The DC Extended Universe is not quite the shared cinematic universe fans were expecting when it first debuted with Man of Steel, and after a few missteps that have already led to reboots, the DCEU is a dying entity as the studio has started to focus more on standalone films like Joker, which recently brought home a couple of Academy Awards. However, when the DCEU was still going strong there were a number of spin-off films rumored and announced that we would still love to see make it to the big screen alongside other DCEU films like the recently released Birds of Prey and the upcoming Wonder Woman 1984....

Nowadays it’s hard to find a sci-fi film that isn’t big on CGI. Stellar visuals, immersive 3D and an overdose of special effects seem to be the norm in Hollywood, be it for the Marvel or the Star Wars movies. In fact, it seems pretty much impossible to imagine a good sci-fi film without these qualities. But that wasn’t always the case. Although practically all mainstream films use CGI and special effects now, there are a few that do not rely on those entirely, and instead focus on dialogue and an engaging plot to keep the audience hooked....
