There are lots of really awesome and fun holidays that happen throughout the year, but it seems that the ones that take place near the end of each year are the ones that are the most popular. Some people believe that the last few months of the year are the best ones. But there are also some really great films that have some scenes that are centered on Thanksgiving. Some of them are not as popular as the movies that are about other holidays, but that doesn’t mean they are not as enjoyable....

Especially recently, actor Will Smith has been very busy, putting out all sorts of new content. Since his rise to fame, Smith has come to play all sorts of roles, ranging from very serious to highly comedic and so on. Though not all of his recent films have been box office hits, Smith has still delivered some very powerful performances to help boost the film. Looking back at some of the actor’s more recent achievements, here is our list of the 10 best Will Smith movies of the last decade according to IMDb....

For a few years now, we’ve been promised a Green Lantern movie set in the DC Extended Universe. The last time this was attempted, we got a film that soured the public’s view of DC Comics and almost brought an end to poor Ryan Reynolds’ career. So, the studio will need to tread very lightly when it eventually sits down to re-adapt that source material. Fortunately, Marvel Studios has already provided DC with the perfect template for how to make a Green Lantern movie work: Guardians of the Galaxy....

It’s that time of the year again! While some people are diving headfirst into the classic Christmas or holiday movie regime, others are pulling out their copies of Die Hard for another round of viewing. And we don’t blame them about that in the least! Die Hard has held fans’ attention for decades, and with good reason. Because of all the attention it’s been getting, there have been a ton of memes created to praise or tease the franchise....

Doctor Who has returned to screens once again and hasn’t taken its time in introducing some old enemies. It’s certainly a spoiler to say that the first two episodes of the latest season brought back one of the Doctor’s worst villain, The Master. However, with the showrunners clearly taking a look back at the Doctor’s past for inspiration on her latest foes, this seems like the perfect time to create a list of villains who could return in some way in the latest series of episodes....

Charles Manson is one of the most infamous men to have ever lived. The Manson Family and the crimes they committed in the 60s are known by all and are often referenced in songs, television shows, and films. Over the years, a variety of actors have portrayed Manson, and, by growing out their brown hair, getting that certain look in their eyes and playing guitar while surrounded by girls, they have pulled it off well....

The era of Disney films known as the Disney Renaissance had the animation studio turning out some of its most successful stories including The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, and Mulan. This period of iconic classics lasted from 1989 to 1999, and as the new millennium dawned, so did a new period of animation. We’re here to see how every theatrically released film created since the 2000s by Walt Disney Animation Studios stacks up....

With 21 movies considered to be a part of the MCU, the overall ratings and reception vary from movie to movie. At least according to Rotten Tomatoes, none of the MCU movies have done worse than 66% fresh. While each person has their favorite movies and not everyone is going to agree on a ranking, Rotten Tomatoes can give a good view of the overall consensus of each of these films....

TV couples. We have our favorites. We even have our favorites out of the two people in said couple. Sometimes we like the husband or wife just a bit more, or sometimes we like them equally. Preferences differ from couple to couple. We love them in dramas, sitcoms, action/adventures, and just about any other genre. We relate to them on certain levels, we want to be them, and we even learn from their mistakes....

How I Met Your Mother follows the love stories and woes between longtime friends Ted, Barney, Lily, Marshall, and Robin. Following these people throughout New York City, we get a peek into the ups and downs of their friend group and outside relationships. We see them evolve and mature pretty significantly as characters, especially by sitcom standards where characters usually tend to stay stuck in their ways. Hell, even Barney grows up eventually and matures out of his sinister ways!...

As the dust settles from Avengers: Endgame’s opening weekend, audiences everywhere will start looking forward to the next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For over ten years the franchise has focused mostly on six main heroes and their subsequent adventures and tragedies. After the heavy losses of Endgame, it is time to rebuild the Avengers roster. The comic book iterations of the Avengers was always a rotating team. New heroes came and went keeping the line-up fresh and engaging....

Films like Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel aren’t the first films to star female superheroes, but they are a good sign of things to come. For years, studios feared that audiences would receive women headlining comic book movies poorly, following the failure of films like Catwoman and Elektra. However, now superheroines are big business, which is great for studios and fans. Once Captain Marvel becomes the success it inevitably looks geared to become, the floodgates will open....

As superhero movies continue to grow in popularity, so does the demand for more unique and subversive takes on the genre. The genre has answered in kind, offering updated and improved versions of certain classic characters (ex. Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, etc.) or breaking ground with genre-defying and deconstructive films such as The Dark Knight and Logan. But not all alternate versions of popular superheroes are welcome, either because these new takes are too outrageous even for the medium or they’re just too controversial to bother with....

Perhaps the most famous of all indie studios focused on developing rip-offs of popular films (known as “mockbusters”), The Asylum has been around for over twenty years and thus earned a special brand of notoriety within the film community. Granted, they don’t focus only on mockbusters; most notably, they were also responsible for the Sharknado and 2-Headed Shark Attack franchises (anyone noticing a common theme?), as well as the post-apocalyptic horror-comedy series Z Nation - but they’ll always be known first and foremost for their blatant attempts at cashing in on other Hollywood productions....

Final Cut Pro X 10.3 was released on Thursday, and although I haven’t had much time to play with it, it’s immediately apparent that this is a huge update. In fact, I think Apple did itself a disservice by labeling this a dot release instead of just calling it Final Cut Pro version 11.0. The addition of Touch Bar support for the new MacBook Pros was the headlining feature of Thursday’s announcement, but it’s all of the other enhancements that make Final Cut Pro X 10....

The X-Files has rightfully earned its reputation as an iconic series full of atmospheric horrors and conspiracies. Countless monsters of the week brought creative, often gory threats to the small screen. And a lot of shows distinctly stand on its shoulders, like Fringe and Supernatural. But truthfully, The X-Files had a surprising amount of variety in its storytelling. Occasionally, it would even dip its toe into comedy—from parody and meta humor to outright slapstick....

There are two types of films Walt Disney Pictures is most famous for creating, their full-length motion pictures, and their animated short films. In recent years, we’ve seen somewhat of a resurgence of the medium since the days of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, and we’re honestly quite impressed. With new stories, visuals, and animation techniques, we’ve seen a new breed of Disney cartoons appear in the last decade or so. In response, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite short subjects from the house of mouse....

Geoff Johns has created some of the greatest stories in DC, taking over big names like The Flash, Green Lantern, Justice League, and more. In his latest run, Doomsday Clock, Johns has finally brought in the Watchmen to the main DC universe where all our favorite heroes reside. This crossover has been teased since Flashpoint and now that we finally get to see characters from two worlds collide and in turn create amazing stories....

Despite their stringent censorship laws, the Chinese love movies. In fact, they are one of the biggest consumers of movies outside of the United States, and their films industry is one of the fastest growing. Because of this, many American studios prioritize Chinese audiences, as a film’s performance there could be the difference between a success or a flop. Studios have even gone as far as to cater to China, which has resulted in many movies taking place there, and even staring major Chinese actors and actresses....

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, so Hollywood likes to makes movies from actual events. But when viewers see the famous card title saying “based on a true story,” they know what they’re about to see isn’t how everything really went down. Filmmakers use their artistic license to spice things up and make their film’s story more interesting. Often times, these slight alterations can make for a better movie from a purely cinematic perspective....
