At its core, the Twilight saga is a series about love. Platonic love, familial love (both blood and chosen,) and romantic love. Each primary character is given a soul mate with whom they get to spend the rest of their lives and it is one of the few large YA franchises that ends with minor bloodshed and a happy ending for all beloved characters.

It’s a widely known fact that for an actor to portray a character from DC comics – whether it be an uber powerful alien who defies all laws of physics or a thuggish, fiendishly clever clown – they’ve got to communicate an unmistakable toughness. This can mean all kinds of things– either the toughness must unfailingly endure as a shining example in a dreary world or the toughness must frighten the audience....

Even though it’s all about the action-packed El Camino these days - the Jesse-centric film that follows the aftermath of Breaking Bad - the original show from which it was spawned has no shortage of thrilling, heart-pumping moments. Being involved in something as dangerous as the meth trade naturally makes one a target for a myriad of shootouts, chases, and escapes, and these moments occur quite a bit on Breaking Bad....

Robert De Niro is arguably the greatest screen actor who ever lived. The two-time Oscar winner won his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in The Godfather II, in which he spoke very few lines of English. Six years later, De Niro won an Oscar for Best Leading Actor in Raging Bull, directed by Martin Scorsese.

When it comes to horror icons, people often think of Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, or Leatherface. Leatherface has become one of the most recognized characters in the horror genre and it all started back in 1974 in Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. There have been numerous sequels and reboots over the years, but none have been as well-received as the original starring Gunnar Hansen as the cannibalistic psychopath....

If you had a television in the mid-2000s, you might remember iconic reality shows like Big Brother, The Bachelor, or Survivor. However, there are also many shows that ended up fading into obscurity after limited runs with little to no success. Specifically, awful dating shows were something we had a plethora of that just never seemed to stick around for long. Whether it was the concept or controversial incidents that happened on the shows, some of these “gems” were forgotten for a reason, and quite frankly probably shouldn’t have existed in the first place....

When Netflix dropped the first trailer for writer/director Vince Gilligan’s El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, fans of the hit series were surprised both by the continuation of the Breaking Bad series, but also at how much we didn’t realize we needed that final chapter to Jesse Pinkman’s story.

Blumhouse Productions is the brainchild of Jason Blum, who founded the company almost 20 years ago as a vehicle for directors who wanted full creative control over their projects. Budgets on Blumhouse films are generally low, but that hasn’t stopped them from performing at the box office. Movies like Insidious, The Purge, Happy Death Day and, of course, Best Picture nominee, Get Out, are already considered cult classics and Blumhouse has established itself as the “go-to” production house for visionary directors like Jordan Peele (Get Out), James Wan (Insidious), and M Night Shyamalan (The Visit)....

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues its record-setting run, rival distributor DC Comics finds itself playing catch-up in the world of live-action film franchises. Many have postulated that DC is rushing out its shared universe in order to compete more directly, choosing to focus largely on team-up films rather than first introducing its major characters via solo adventures. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, the second film in the DC Extended Universe (or DCEU for short), has been tasked with introducing audiences to new iterations of Batman and Lex Luthor—as well as the first big screen Wonder Woman....

Every movie fans has their favorite superhero, supervillain, or offbeat comic book star that they would love to see done justice on the big screen.
