Often remembered as the best of all of the Star Wars films, The Empire Strikes Back is what showed the world how Star Wars could be expanded into a legitimate franchise. Admittedly, they introduced the same need to take down a weapon of mass destruction as they did in the previous film, but it’s still a masterpiece full of amazing characters and brilliant writing. As with every other Star Wars film, there are plenty of mistakes to find....

While the Walt Disney Company is practically synonymous with childhood favorite animated moments, it hasn’t always been that way. Sure, they have some competitors today between Dreamworks, Sony Animation and incredible smaller companies making extraordinary features like LAIKA and Cartoon Saloon, not to mention the behemoth that Pixar has become. But once upon a time they had major competition in the works of film director and animator Don Bluth, a former Disney employee....

‘Hollywood magic’ was a term used to refer to the beautifully constructed practical effect sets that allowed filmmakers to bring to the screen any manner of creations, from otherworldy castles set in a magical land to alien spaceships looming in the sky. Nowadays, almost every special effect can be boiled down to being done with CGI. The process is simple, but a very expensive one. And the results are not always ideal....

When a show has been on the air for as long as The Walking Dead has, it’s understandable - even expected - that the writers would make their share of questionable decisions. This is especially true when it comes to TWD. Through controversy, backlash, and even driving their fanbase away on multiple occasions, the series’ writers have made several decisions that wound up hurting the show. Some of these decisions included introducing characters that failed to win the audience’s affections, or killing off beloved characters....

The Walking Dead established itself as a gory show pretty early on. In the opening scene of the very first episode, Rick shoots a zombified little girl in the head. Later, outside the hospital, half a corpse starts crawling towards him. A couple of episodes later, he’s gutting some dead walkers with Glenn so that they can cover themselves in blood and organs and disguise themselves among the hordes of the undead....

Satanic panic peaked in the 1980s when residents in small towns across America believed devil worshipers lingered in the shadows, ready to sacrifice children and animals to their dark lord. While it turned out to be totally bogus, the infernal, condemned vibes have sustained themselves. Since the dawn of cinema, movie makers have been fascinated with evil, often represented by fiendish cults, devilish underground networks, and Satan himself. While classics like Rosemary’s Baby and contemporary horror films like The House Of The Devil or The Witch have scarred moviegoers for life with their portrayals of devil worshipers, there are other genre gems that deserve recognition....

MTV started life as the music video network. However, since its creation in 1981, things have really changed for Music Television. Now, music videos are very much a rarity on MTV, not the main focus. MTV is firmly into the world of original programming having some scripted series, but many more reality shows. Yet despite that moniker, most of MTV’s reality shows are far from real. While they might involve real people (aka not actors) that doesn’t mean everything that happens on MTV show is organic....

Steven Spielberg has captured the true wonder of film-making with countless classics, spanning decades. He invented the blockbuster, and his partnership with John Williams has generated overwhelmingly iconic work. Spielberg has influenced innumerable aspiring artists to pursue film-making, in various aspects. Critics have not always been kind to Spielberg’s sentimentality or mass appeal. But these ingredients can help audiences better digest some thematically rich and visually arresting stories. And Spielberg has proven his range many times over, from sci-fi to horror, and intimate drama to serial adventure....

In the MCU, the relationship between Captain America and Iron Man is a bit of a complicated one. At times they are each other’s friends and allies in saving the world, during others, they are near enemies and seem to barely be able to spark a conversation without someone threatening to bunch the other. While these two have had many ups and downs over the years, it’s clear that they have been at the center of the franchise up until Avengers: Endgame....

Netflix has become one of the top streaming platforms of this generation. When it launched in 1997, it primarily focused on DVD rental. Since then, it has become so much more, becoming the essential go-to for online streaming, and developing its own original shows and movies. Netflix has come a long way and has developed some of the most talked-about shows in entertainment. Two genres that have generated a lot of buzz are sci-fi and fantasy shows....

DC movies stretch back over 60 years, predating the Marvel craze and laying the ground work for all superhero franchises to come. The Superman franchise was shot before Close Encounters and Star Wars, and is often credited as spearheading the large market for sci-fi franchises. Tim Burton’s Batman presented the genre as a serious, stylistic vigilante that helped establish the current ambiance of the genre, and Wonder Woman shined a beacon for women empowerment – a symbol of hope during the #MeToo movement....

Last week, our weekly roundup was heavily dominated by games, and surprisingly, this week we don’t have even a single game. We do have a science show inspired app, but that can’t be termed as a game as such. And yes, we have a couple of productivity apps, a couple of photo gallery apps and an app for music lovers. Let’s go checkout the best iOS apps this week....

We know you all love a good serial killer flick. While your favorites might start as early as Psycho (1960) or are more with the recent times of Conversations with a Serial Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes or Mindhunter, we can’t ignore the classic decade of the 1990s, and all of the wickedly horrible serial killer films it had to offer. In case you’re looking for your next binge, and the current Hollywood isn’t making enough serial killer films fast enough, we made you a list....

There are plenty of sitcoms out there that strike a strong chord with audiences, but That ‘70s Show tapped into a special energy that made it a major presence on television for nearly a decade. What was special about That ‘70s Show is that it not only spoke to the current younger generation, but due to its ‘70s-set setting, it was also appealing to the older demographic, too. The result was a genuine hit for FOX that the network could use to incite nostalgic, or just present silly sitcom stories, and engaging romantic relationships....

While we’ve seen all kinds of horror genres develop a number of memorable killers over the years, sometimes it still takes a scary monster to terrify and delight fans. Monster movies go back to the dawn of horror film, with the Universal Monsters like Frankenstein, Dracula, and Wolf Man showcasing the special effects wizardry of the time to deliver thrills and chills to movie-goers. Horror monsters have certainly evolved past those early representations, and have become even deadlier with each new iteration to up the stakes for the viewers....

Whether you’re an up and coming star or the biggest box office draw on the planet, chances are your agent has rung you up with an exciting new opportunity: playing a role in a YA franchise. Since the Harry Potter movies started making bucks approaching the billions, fantasy and sci-fi properties aimed at the teenage/young adult market have been all the rage. Though the era of feisty adolescents fighting a futuristic oppressor or demons from the underworld is nearing its close, series like The Hunger Games and Twilight were some of the most popular and highest grossing films filling movie theatre screens worldwide....
