Assassins in movies are often fascinating characters who can range from unassuming everyday types to shadowy warriors who almost seem like they’re from a whole other world. The John Wick franchise has demonstrated all sides of this dynamic better than perhaps any other media franchise ever. PERKINS Taking on John Wick is a rather bold move, even if he’s fresh out of retirement. That didn’t stop a treacherous Ms. Perkins from going after him....
Angela Martin is one of the most hilarious characters on The Office even if she isn’t always talked about as such. As the most tightly wound, judgemental employee of Dunder Mifflin Scranton, she would often be the shadiest character of all.

Angela definitely wasn’t the kindest employee, and she was often the most hypocritical....
The rebooted Star Trek series introduced a ton of changes to the well established science-fiction franchise. Suddenly, Iowa had huge, rocky canyons in the middle of it and Starfleet built the Enterprise on Earth instead of in space where it made sense. It was a lot for fans to adjust to. Obviously those weren’t the only alterations in the new “Kelvin timeline.” Thanks to the changes in history from the 2009 movie’s villain Nero traveling back in time, Kirk’s father didn’t live as long as he should have....
When a person abruptly cuts off all forms of communication with someone else and doesn’t respond to the other person’s attempts to reach them, it’s called ‘Ghosting.’ Though the term first appeared in the mid-2000s, it’s gotten more attention with the prevalence of social media and dating apps. So MTV decided to spotlight this phenomenon with the show Ghosted: Love Gone Missing. Released last year, it’s a spinoff of MTV’s popular Catfish show but with two different hosts: Rachel Lindsay from TheBachelorette and music artist Travis Mills....

Much like any roller coaster, the manufactured fright of horror movies can be a lot of fun. Often times, horror is cheap to make, and consequently, it’s earned a poor reputation. Many of the stories can feel exploitative, or redundant. But fear is an unflinching, primal reflection of ourselves, and reveals what society perceives to be monstrous. Most are exciting tales of survival, but there are countless sub-genres. While some horror can explore social commentary, horror-comedies truly stand apart....
Most of the controversies about the DCEU revolve around its characterization of famous comic book heroes. While some love the new versions of Batman, Superman, The Flash and Lex Luthor - including how they contrast to previous representations of these characters, some despited these and believed the DCEU strayed too much from the original DC characters. Some superheroes, instead, made their first-ever appearance in movies - Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam - and fans were relieved to finally see them come to the big screen....

Since then many other directors have used the technique in their films....

The original Star Wars trilogy remains one of the most culturally influential franchises in film history, making icons out of its stars like Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. And while it’s hard to imagine any other actors in their roles, we came very close to having a much different looking Star Wars cast. Before cameras even started rolling, George Lucas searched for the perfect Han Solo, Princess Leia and other soon-to-be famous characters....
When people go to the movies to see best friends taking on incredible adventures, or beautiful people sharing a passionate romance, they don’t usually stop to think if the actors and actresses are actually as well matched in person.

Sequels are still a bit of a taboo in cinema. Sometimes, just saying the world “sequel” will earn you some sneers and maybe even a guffaw. The main problem people have with sequels is they feel they are ultimately not needed, which is true in many cases. Also, a sequel is often born from a need to bank on the first movie’s financial success. Some people find that to be tacky, but that’s show business....
