Martial arts has truly evolved in cinema over the years, but certainly in Hollywood. Ranging from the acrobatic to the practical, it’s a fascinating display of skill, almost akin to dancing, and there have been dozens of movies in that niche genre, too. However, martial arts movies have been steeped in overseas cinema, keeping it basically inaccessible for mainstream Hollywood audiences. Most don’t care for subtitles, or perhaps the redundancy of fight scenes, and even many classics had something of an exaggerated tone, particularly regarding humor....

Netflix has been a great place for original scripted TV shows for a while now. In recent times, the streaming service has also been investing in other media properties, including films, animated projects, and even reality shows. What’s more, Netflix seems interested in disrupting the various genres of reality TV that we’ve come to know – from singing competitions to social experiments. If you’re looking for the next big reality TV show to watch, it may already be streaming on Netflix....

Very few villains have had the same impact as the Joker. What was originally just another comic-book villain has managed to swiftly become one of the most studied and reproduced characters of all time. The Joker’s insanity has been portrayed everywhere, from the original format of comic books to endless movie and television adaptions. Joaquin Phoenix’s take on the character in the upcoming Joker is only the most recent in a string of many, many more....

2020 will be loaded with action movies. Whether it’s a sequel, remake or original story, there is a lot to be excited about in the coming months. With the Avengers and Star Wars sagas coming to an end, the belt for the most popular action movie is up for grabs. Of all movies released every year, action movies seem to be the leading genre. This makes it quite difficult to whittle the list down to just ten....

Shonda Rhimes is one of the most influential people in TV. Her production company, Shondaland, which created shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder, has revolutionized the small screen and harvested Emmy-winning content over the years. Betsy Beers, Rhimes’ producing partner, believes Shondaland is more than just a production company and that it’s a “state of mind.” Speaking to Fast Company, she added that it’s a place that “takes care of other people and makes a home for people who are curious and energetic and passionate, and who want to laugh and have a good time, but who are also just really interested in making the world better....

Action movies are the bread and butter of Hollywood. They have just enough adrenaline-pumping action that people will pay to watch them whether they are funny or dark, grounded in reality or full of supernatural elements, great or just plain awful. In this day and age where everything is digitized, it can be difficult to remember what action films were like before CGI, bullet time, or the overused phenomenon of the shaky cam....

The one genre that needs more appreciation is the horror film genre, as this category is generally considered only as a supplementary form of entertainment and hardly ever considered for awards or special mention. And yet, horror movies are responsible for some of the most quoted scenes out there. We’ve compiled a number of films that have proven to be a hit among audiences but have generally taken quotes that aren’t catchphrases....

Hit series Gilmore Girls draws such an impressive fan base for the unique mother-daughter relationship shared between Lorelai and Rory — in addition to the extended family drama between Lorelai and her parents. But the many romantic relationships that flourish throughout the show also play a huge part in making it a hit. From the Team Dean/Jess/Logan debate in Rory’s love life, to the Luke/Max/Chris dispute in Lorelai’s, there have been plenty of romantic ups and downs for fans to follow, and with this came some pretty damn impressive romantic gestures....

Moviegoers love a good cameo. The action sort of takes a break to showcase someone who you wouldn’t normally see within the context of the movie. Sometimes the cameo is for fun and laughs. Other times it’s an homage to a TV series or another film the movie you’re currently watching is based on. For anyone who has seen The Force Awakens, then you know a slew of people love Star Wars and appeared at the very least underneath stormtrooper armor....

Many of the Disney movies are set at different times throughout history. Some of them are slightly more recent than others, but most of them are set in the distant past, in a faraway land. In order to emphasize this, the princesses in these Disney movies often have incredibly elaborate and beautiful dresses and hairstyles that are fit for a princess in the time period of the movie. Although the characters in our favorite Disney movies may have beautiful wardrobes, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re the most historically accurate....

There are a few shows that see the success that Breaking Bad did. And with only five seasons under its belt, it’s incredible the feat that it was able to accomplish. The decision to create a show centered around an unsuspecting science teacher doubling as a meth cook seems taboo in and of itself, but throw in a DEA brother-in-law and a time ticking cancer bomb and you’ve got a recipe for one hell of a series....

Studio Ghibli is responsible for some of the greatest animated movies ever made from some of the most renowned directors in the medium, including Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. Their influence is felt far and wide, with several animation houses paying tribute to them throughout the years. Almost as interesting as the plethora of films to come out of the studio, including world-renowned classics like Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Grave of the Fireflies, are some of the things that went on and are currently happening behind the scenes....

The Oscars is an award ceremony so prestigious that it normally looks down on the horror genre. This isn’t exactly fair; just because a horror movie aims to scare the audience, does not mean that it has no profound, moving material to offer. Horror is an important genre in film, as it has the power to evoke many different emotions from the viewer. With this in mind, though, the Oscars rarely gets over the unattractive stigma in horror movies long enough to give them their overdue recognition....

Star Trek marked fans across generations, spanning an incredible collection of books, comics, movies, and TV shows. Any die-hard science fiction fan worthy of the designation has somehow found themselves immersed in the universe of Star Trek, in some way, shape, or form. While there’s plenty of content surrounding the franchise - enough to last a lifetime - there’s no reason for sci-fi fans to stick to Star Trek alone! There are just so many great shows out there that also deserve attention, it would be a shame to not give them a try....

What’s a telenovela without a lot of drama, a lot of suspense and a whole lotta love? Jane the Virgin blessed television with its American take on a Latin American telenovela. As the show run continued, and character arcs developed, romantic gestures were becoming more common to the screen. But in this instance, how is romantic defined? Romantic is considered any act that is characterized by love. Any type of love....

The iPhone is almost infinitely customizable, and, with thousands of apps and widgets that allow users to personalize their phones more thoroughly than Apple originally intended, it can be tough to know which apps to use and how to use them.

Tools that make this possible have been available to users for years, and there are a few truly stand-out free apps that can give one’s phone a genuinely one-of-a-kind style....

Since 1977, Star Wars has created a cult following of devoted fans who almost consider Star Wars a religion with how serious they take it.

One Tree Hill was many things: a story about brothers, an intense love of basketball, and surviving high school. At times it was far too earnest for its own good, but fans kept coming back for the enduring characters and undeniably over-the-top drama. Even the biggest OTH fan can admit that the series went on several seasons past its expiration date. Once Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton left at the end of season 6, the show completely lost focus....

When it comes to engaging sci-fi odysseys, post-apocalyptic settings can really color the scene with a distinctly rich and usually dismal aura. These foreign, decimated landscapes can help engross the viewer in a new, unfamiliar world, enhance the narrative, and provide some creative world-building. Despite the glum nature of the disease, death, warfare, and/or mass destruction that post-apocalyptic films usually contain, there’s typically a glimmer of hope; of rising from the ashes and starting fresh....
