Undoubtedly one of the best movies from 2019, A Star Is Born was an exceptionally emotional journey that audiences couldn’t help but fall in love with. Bradley Cooper directed, starred in, and helped write this remake of the 1937 film; it’s now clear there was no one better for the job. After receiving incredible critical success, A Star Is Born was nominated for and won several impressive awards. The emotional core of the movie is presented through music....

While acting in the movies and on Broadway are two totally different things that require unique skillsets, there is also a major cross over appeal. Many major A-List stars have appeared on Broadway over the years though, whether that be how they got their lucky break or whether it be a challenge they tackle later in their careers. Some actors have starred in musicals and belted out some huge anthems in front of live audiences each night, while others have tackled serious plays....

From 1994-2004 Friends was one of the single most popular television shows in the world. The six main characters lived lives in New York City that everyone wanted to follow, and it was a show that almost any actor would jump to appear in. The sitcom made Jennifer Aniston a household name and made sure that none of the main cast would ever need to work again—though we’re glad they all still do....

“What’s in a name?” It’s the question famously posed by William Shakespeare in Romeo and Juliet, and as it turns out, the answer is “quite a lot” – at least, as far as cinema is concerned. Indeed, many of the most popular movies of all time very nearly ended up saddled with truly awful titles that could have jeopardized their chances of success. Fortunately, the lackluster labels attached to these otherwise awesome films were replaced before they hit theatres – in some instances, only just barely....

You can travel through time or see a time you hope will never come....

John Carpenter, genre master and director/composer of such popular ’80s classics as Escape From New York, Halloween, and Big Trouble in Little China made one of the most subversive horror films of all time in 1988; They Live!. Marketed as an action sci-fi film about an alien takeover starring pro-wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper, it’s also a scathing indictment of the mass-consumerism that dominated the ’80s. They Live is a film that only gets better with age, standing as a polemic against mass media manipulation and blind, unrestrained capitalism....

Twilight may be an easy target to hate on with its sparkly vampires, strange logic, and occasionally poor writing, but many people love the books and movies for their complex love story and unforgettable characters. Even in the cast of Twilight, there were those who admitted that they disliked the series and those who praised it. While some have been more public about their frustration than others, some actors wish to no longer be associated with the franchise....

Danny Glover is an actor who has been appearing in some of our favorite films for years. From his early career as a character actor to his leading man roles to his more recent supporting roles in notable films, Glover always brings something special to whatever project he is a part of. Glover is also an actor who cannot be easily assigned to one kind of role. He has appeared in virtually every kind of film you can think of, and is often a standout part of those films....

There are times when a TV show becomes so much more than laughs and monologues. For most people who grew up watching, they didn’t know the difference. A well-placed joke took them away from personal dealings but they never stopped to think of the impact a TV show could and would have on their life. There have been great African-American shows throughout the years. And while some have come and gone, that’s not to say they didn’t stand for something....

Actresses (and actors) have different personal fashion and makeup tastes. Some don’t wear makeup, while others wear way too much. Some refuse because they want to use their influence as celebrities to promote a message that helps young women cultivate a positive self-image. Actresses who wear makeup do so for several reasons: some wear it because they believe it makes them look younger, more attractive, or because it covers up their physical flaws....

While the year had its fair share of bad movie posters, 2019 showcased more ingenuity than mediocrity on its print campaigns. The posters for this year exhibited a lot of creativity, originality and novelty on crafting effective campaigns for their movies. The best movie posters for the year range from tributes of early posters of old Hollywood to the symbolic representations of their movies. And some simply displayed the most iconic parts of their films....

It’s fair to say that Riverdale is not your typical teen drama. However, there is one convention it does follow, and that is traditional high school romance. For four seasons, the viewer has had the pleasure of watching the romances between “Bughead,” “Varchie,” and “Choni” blossom. We can’t forget either the rival pairings that include “Veggie,” Josie/Archie, or even “Barchie” for that matter, who also have had their moments. But which couple would you deem the most romantic?...

The horror genre has undergone one of the greatest eras of critical success in the past decade. From indie hits such as Hereditary to blockbuster behemoths like The Conjuring, storytellers have found solace in this genre that had before suffered decades of gore infused trash. One of the best and brightest to come out of the genre was The Babadook. This Australian horror film confronted themes of grief, depression, and motherhood in a way never before seen, and signified a brand new talent in the directing field via Jennifer Kent....

Of all the many fantastical aspects of the world of Game of Thrones, the weirwoods are still one of the most mysterious. These ancient trees with distinct carved faces are the key symbol in the religion of the Old Gods. Weirwoods are scarce in Westeros, but those that still exist in the North and Beyond the Wall seem to have extraordinary abilities. The weirwoods have been a prominent part of Bran’s journey in the show, but we still don’t have much a sense of what exactly they are and their significance in this world....

Even though moviegoers can have a lot of complaints about trailers that play before the movies, they are still effective marketing techniques in the business. And when a trailer is done really well, it can be thrilling to watch on its own. This is especially true of action movie trailers, which seem to have real energy to them. The great action movie trailers show you just enough from a movie to get you excited without spoiling the best moments....

It’s the end of an era. After nine years of waiting for winter to come, Game of Thrones has finally wrapped up. While The Winds of Winter or any other books in the primary story remain a dream of spring, winter came and brought the end of the show with it. What else a fan can watch to fill the Iron Throne-shaped void? One solid option might be anime. Game of Thrones offered several things that most shows don’t....

Horror is a collaborative process. While there have been many fantastic original horror movies throughout the years, there have also been many fantastic adaptations. Horror has always been a popular genre, and horror novels have always remained a popular sub-genre of literature. From Bram Stoker to Edgar Allan Poe to Stephen King, horror has always permeated the pop-culture consciousness. And we can’t ignore these brilliant minds and brilliant stories. And we haven’t....

The first moment that we see a character in a movie is arguably the second most pivotal moment in their on-screen journey. The most pivotal, obviously, is their final moment in the film, because that’s the last we’ll ever see of them. It’s where we leave them. But their introduction is a close second. It forms how we view the character within the story, and what kind of person they are....
