We already observed that fans don’t want their favorite movies to end. This is one of the reasons why Hollywood spends so much time and money nowadays expanding upon existing franchises instead of producing more original and risky film projects. If nothing else, the current crop of superhero epics at least proves that sequels can be easily as good or even better than the earlier movies. Last week, we presented you with a list of best sci-fi sequels....
Facts of life: not all films are created equally. Many films are masterpieces, celebrated in their time, while others are often either forgotten or neglected. Even great movies are vulnerable to being overlooked in their day. Many films that are now considered masterpieces were, upon release, ignored. It might stun modern film buffs which films were ignored by the general populace. Some flopped upon release. Others just remained misunderstood by critics....
Friends is one of the most popular shows that has ever aired on television. It still manages to make people laugh even though it ended fifteen years ago. But there are definitely some parts of the show that would not fly today. One of the most outdated parts of the show is the fact that the cast is not very diverse. There are also lots of homophobic slurs that make rewatching it today a bit hard to do....
Pathfinder: Warth of the Righteous is an old-school RPG game with modern trappings. However, unlike Divinity’s new Baldurs Gate game, Wrath immediately shows what you’re dealing with in its character creation screen. The range of choice feels fantastic, and it’s only really a shame the opening acts are so railroaded with correct choices. Speaking of choices, this isn’t BG3; there’s a lot of text, and while many decisions affect the game....
Fans of American filmmaking tend to enjoy a lot of the same kinds of things. Lately it seems if the lead in a film is not dressed in all spandex with a chip on their shoulder or the ability to wisecrack, the film doesn’t make money. Though fans of comic films can rejoice as the genre is finally getting the attention it deserves, what about smaller films? What about the films that get no hype here, yet are fantastic none the less?...
When George Lucas wrote the first draft for the original Star Wars, it was a stark contrast to the movie we know and love. After numerous re-writes, edits, cuts, and additions, Lucas finally turned in a product that bore little resemblance to what he typed up years earlier. This left behind an entire Sarlacc pit of unused ideas, forgotten characters, and elements that were either retooled or cut completely. Plus enough conceptual art to fill an entire gallery....

Shipping is something that happens in all kinds of fandoms, and Disney movies are no exception. While Disney might own many franchises such as Star Wars and Marvel, there is also a lot of shipping for more classic Disney characters such as in the animated movies.

Beauty and the Beast’s tale as old as time has been a popular Disney film in more ways than one. The live-action remake became one of the most successful Disney alterations, giving them license to keep coming out with more of these type of films. Before that, the 1990s animated version has been a staple in every Disney fan’s collection. Those who grew up during this era are now well into their twenties, but even as adults, they keep showing their passion for the tale of Belle and her Beast....
Animated comedies have become increasingly popular throughout the previous decade. Many shows have been inspired by ’90s staples such as The Simpsons and South Park, and continue to hold a satirical mirror to its audience that pushes the boundaries of comedy and animation. Animation may have previously been seen as something aimed entirely at children, but modern shows such as Rick And Morty and BoJack Horseman have evolved the genre. Animated shows are now commonly as socially relevant as they are hilarious....

It has been over one year since we last saw Eleven and the gang battle Demogorgons and a Mind Flayer in season two of Stranger Things. Thanks to a newly released teaser trailer and poster, we now have an official date for when we can finally return to Hawkins for season three: July 4, 2019. Unfortunately, the release date was about as black and white as the Duffer brothers made it for us, as the teaser trailer was heavy on the tease and light on the trailer....
Netflix’s Stranger Things is created by twin brothers Matt and Ross Duffer. The two are a unique duo and the masterminds behind the entire show. Creative introverts from a young age, they managed to take their passion for comics, sci-fi, and Stephen King and morph it into a TV show that is based in the 80s, injected with Stephen King-esque spookiness, and launch it on a contemporary platform in the 21st century....
When you think of a Disney film, what comes to mind? Do you think of their most recent remakes of classic animated features, or do you think back to a simpler time and picture princesses, adventures, and talking animals? Since they first began, Disney has been producing classic after classic, but after producing so many hits, it’s possible to forget some of their earlier work. Disney became a household name by making their hits early on, but some have just been lumped to the wayside over time....
The key to any great story is compelling characters. If the characters don’t interest the audience, neither will their stories. This is one of the reasons why the Star Wars saga is still head and shoulders above most of the long-running blockbuster franchises that it inspired. There are very few characters in the Star Wars universe (at least, before Disney took over) that haven’t reached the status of an icon....

Most often, it is the little things in life that have the most significant meaning. Little things consisting of simple gestures like complimenting your partner or always being supportive and showing affection. Or it could be surprising your mate or spending time with your partner’s family. And in the 1990’s one of primetime’s biggest weekly dramas, Beverly Hills 90210 became the absurdity of romantic gestures. For ten years, we watched the kids of West Beverly graduate high school navigating their way through the cesspool of romantic situations....
Hereditary was the must-see horror movie of the summer in 2018. It launched director Ari Aster into the limelight. Next up, we’ll see his horror legacy continue with the already-critically-acclaimed follow-up film, Midsommar. The appeal of Hereditary is in its slow-burn and creeping storyline. When the shocks come, they’re brutal and completely unexpected. It’s unlike any horror film you’ve seen before and the entire story is anchored by Toni Collette in one of her best roles....
