The lightsaber is without a doubt the most famous fictional weapon ever created, and the first time we saw one ignite on our screens it was in the hands of young Luke Skywalker. Throughout his adventures, Luke has claimed ownership of two “laser swords," his father’s original blue blade, and his own green creation, both equally iconic. Over the course of this list, we will be looking at some fun facts about both sabers from Luke’s early Padawan days up to his time as a fully-fledged Jedi Master....

Watching the Academy Awards this year, it like a foregone conclusion that Leonardo DiCaprio would win for his chilling, bison-chewing performance in The Revenant. Not because his performance was so great, but because after six nominations, everyone agreed he was due for a win. Sometimes it seems like the Academy gives Oscars to reward a body of work more than a particular performance, or as an attempt to correct overlooking past performances....

There are plenty of things to enjoy while watching the historical fiction drama, Outlander – the show that focuses on life in the Scottish highlands in the 18th-century and the WWII nurse who unexpectedly finds herself there. But the best part of the show goes far past the war and political strife of the time period. It’s the romance and the incredible moments shared between the couples – particularly Claire and Jamie – that make the show as amazing as it is....

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens was Disney’s chance to prove to the world that they could take the Star Wars franchise to the next level, clawing it back to those who were disheartened by the prequel trilogy and providing a new lease of life to a forty-year-old series. Considering how big of a challenge this was, they did very well in creating an action-filled film full of exciting new characters and enough references to the previous films to keep everyone interested....

Ice Age became a beloved film all the way back in 2002. It put a mixture of characters (a clueless sloth, a moody mammoth and a level-headed saber tooth tiger) into a vast frozen landscape and let them explore it. Then they added some opossum and a mammoth who thought she was an opossum. Then Johnny Depp. Then some pirates. The list goes on. Did you know there were four sequels?...

It’s really not much of news anymore since it usually happens within a few weeks of a iPhone software update, but iPhone software 1.1.3 is hacked. Word on the street is that this version has some interesting updates. Applications run as user “Mobile” instead of “root” and Preferences are no longer stored in var/root. Obviosly the sign of a maturing operating system. The current hack as of right now is only on an upgrade from 1....

The Simpsons is regarded as one of the funniest shows in television history. Despite a general belief that the series is far past it’s best years at this point, there were still a long stretch of seasons where it was delivering the big laughs.

A wedding gown can always turn heads, whether it’s over the top or low-key and discreet. That’s especially true when it comes to movie characters wearing wedding dresses. Often, they’re even more extravagant and memorable than real-life wedding gowns would be because movie-makers have the budgets and connections that most real people only dream of. It’s no easy task to rank movie wedding dresses, but we’ve compiled this list based on the style of the dress, its significance for the character, and what it symbolizes....

Jim Carrey has consistently proven himself a versatile actor, capturing poignancy in both touching dramas and the silliest of comedies. And yet, it’s the latter that made him such a beloved icon. His physical comedy provides a wholly unique, nigh unmatched slapstick. There is organic creativity that radiates from the screen like constant, bold improvisation. So naturally, his return to that frenetic mode in Sonic the Hedgehog is most welcome. Just like the movie itself, his performance is very nostalgic....

Critics have some issues with the DC Extended Universe: from pacing, to the direction, to the script. It may be a fifty-fifty shot whether a DC fan will take issue with each release. Most critics and fans alike can agree on the casting decisions within the DCEU. Even though this franchise is still relatively new, audiences have been both delighted and annoyed with the casting decisions. Rival Marvel Studios definitely did build a franchise around some very strong performances....

There are many things that can make a film an artistic masterpiece, from directing and cinematography to acting and writing. But what about when the film is a masterpiece in itself? And here we’re talking more specifically about animation. Animation has been a popular genre among cinema fans ever since it’s creation, and a certain innovator named Walt Disney did his part to push the movement along as well. But Disney isn’t the only production company that has managed to capture the world with their completely made-up characters....

Previous big-screen versions of Spider-Man played Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield have had nothing but themselves. They’ve had to sew together their own costumes and fix all the problems they created for themselves, with no one else to help them. And that was great. But Tom Holland’s Spidey in the MCU has always had Tony Stark watching his back and giving him cool technology, and that’s cool, too. It’s also different, giving us something we’ve never seen before....

As the artists and storytellers at Pixar Animation began to crank out successful movies set in the fictional worlds of children’s toys, sentient cars, and culinary rodents, it didn’t take long for fans to realize the stories weren’t as separate as they had thought. Fans have spun wild theories on a single unified “Pixar Universe,” blurring the lines between Pixar’s superheroes, animals, toys, and everyday people. One overall story may be impossible to find, but hunting down each easter egg is more than worth the effort....

The Young Adult genre has been around for a long time. Films like 1988’s The Outsiders have captivated teens for decades, but it was when the YA genre turned to science fiction that those type of films started to flourish. Yet, it took some time for the flourishing to transpire. After 2006’s Eragon became one of the worst reviewed movies of its time and 2008’s City of Ember bombed at the box office, many thought the YA genre was done for....
