Musicals have always been one of the cornerstone of movie history. From the earliest MGM productions to classics like West Side Story and Singin’ in the Rain, to newer favorites like Moulin Rouge and Chicago, they never really go out of style. With Cats, another legendary show is set to hit the big screen. The release of the star-studded trailer caused quite a reaction online, as most people found it bonkers, and the special effects for the cats a little disturbing....

Everyone loves to talk about Bond movie villains. Over the decades, they’ve given the world some of movie history’s greatest quotes, lairs, superweapons and bad guy schemes for global domination. But who is it doing the heavy lifting for these elaborate plans? It’s the colorful array of henchmen, propping up those villains and their schemes, that go consistently unsung. Well, no more. We’re here to pay homage to the best of the worst....

Apple AirPods have become all the rage at the moment, with the latest Apple product becoming one of the most popular products that the company has ever created. Getting rid of the long wires that used to frustrate many people has proven to be a great decision, but for many others, they are not a product that they want. Whether it be because they don’t own other Apple products because they are too expensive, or because they don’t like the design or sound quality....

Jude Law is one of those actors who is instantly compelling whenever he appears on screen. The British actor rose to fame with his unforgettable supporting roles in high profile projects, became a leading man in Hollywood films, before settling into a much more interesting character actor career. Law is an endlessly charming actor who can drop that likable persona in a moment for much more nefarious roles. He feels right at home in a big blockbuster as well as small, intimate stories....

Respect. Innovation. Those are two words that are exhumed when talking about the 1990 Night of the Living Dead remake. George A. Romero’s 1968 film of the same title will forever be regarded as a classic. There is no argument to be made there. However, its 1990 remake is usually overlooked as a rehash of old ideas with a 1990s paint job. That is not the case for this unpolished gem within the zombie genre....

In today’s cinematic landscape, franchises rule with an iron fist. Original stories will be blown straight out of the water if they happen to release on the same weekend as a Marvel movie or a Star Wars movie or one of the parts of a multi-part adaptation of a single installment in a series of YA novels. But it doesn’t always pan out. Sometimes, a Hollywood studio will conceive a movie as the first in a long-running franchise, and put a lot of their eggs in that basket as they map out a bunch of sequels, and then it will crash and burn at the box office....

The end of the Harry Potter saga could not have been felt more intensely by fans who dedicated their childhood to the films. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, in particular, started their journey right before 2001, when the youngest of the three was only 9 years old. That world ended for them in July of 2011 with the final Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II premiere....

Nothing about the film making process is easy. From the pre-production, filming, and then post production, every step of the way is an arduous path where all can go wrong at any moment. It is truly a miracle any film gets made in the first place, and even more impressive when a masterpiece is churned out. Whether one is a director, actor, writer, producer, or some other role involved in bringing these stories to life, they all deserve respect for their hard work....

Update: Like others before it, Apple is now pulling QuasiDisk from its global iTunes stores. But we’ve added another below the fold [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNx6X4ZZFRA] It appears another tethering app snuck into the App Store. QuasiDisk ($1.99) purports to be a file manager for the iPhone, but it appears that in the most recent update over the weekend, it stealthily got the ability to tether via proxy. Apple is usually pretty quick to pull these, so you might want to jump on this app if you want some tethering without a carrier plan....

The horror genre is an ever-changing thing and what scares one generation of viewers can seem tame to another. It’s hard to get real scares out of modern audiences even with many films that are considered horror classics. But there are those masterpieces of the genre that maintain their reputation years after their release. As the 1970s saw Hollywood taking more risks with the films that produced, this New Hollywood movement extended to horror films as well....

The phenomenal talents of the Disney animators and vocal performers are responsible for creating some of the world’s most beloved characters.

Horror films have really been going through quite the renaissance since the slump that it hit in the 90s with self-aware rip-offs of Scream like I Know What You Did Last Summer and other examples of meta-horror being too self-righteous. After that mess, we had the thoroughly mean-spirited era of horror that happened in the early 2000s with films like Rob Zombie’s Halloween remakes being frequently cited as examples. With companies as exciting as A24 and Spectrevision, horror is finally getting back on it’s feet....

Whether two or forty-two, a Disney fanatic, can’t help but sing along when ‘I Just Can’t Wait To Be King’ comes on. There are a handful of songs that could be labeled as “iconic” Disney songs given that they remain permanently engrained into our minds, despite the number of years that have gone by. Singers and voice actors from Idina Menzel (Elsa in Frozen) to Jodi Benson (Ariel in The Little Mermaid) are generally the culprits behind these catchy songs, as they have lent their voice to some of today’s most legendary Disney characters....

Number 12 Grimmauld Place was introduced in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Audiences learned of this dusty old solace when Dumbledore brings Harry to the depreciating townhouse in London. Much to his surprise, Harry is met at the home by Hermione, Ron, and his godfather, Sirius Black who had recently escaped from Azkaban. Avid readers will know a decent amount of history concerning Sirius’ old stomping grounds. But like most things Harry Potter, a lot of the delicious details had to be nixed from the film franchise....

Fans of Game of Thrones were introduced to the Dornish with Oberyn Martell back in season 4, and since then the southernmost country and its people have become subjects of scrutiny due to the many ways they’re portrayed differently in the books. Oberyn himself became a fan-favorite immediately upon his introduction, only to be brutally murdered at the hands of The Mountain during Tyrion Lannister’s trial by combat. However, other members of the Martell family and the Dornish plotline in general generally aren’t viewed as favorably when compared to the books....

Netflix might still be the first and most prominent name in online streaming, but Hulu is quickly closing the gap. Despite its general reliance on being the best place to watch new episodes of shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Blindspot, Arrow and so many others, Hulu also has a veritable archive of classic television series. Given its shared corporate parentage with NBC/Universal, Hulu is the first stop for many classic TV shows, and it doesn’t even run into the same licensing problem as Netflix for many of them....

When a media franchise gets popular to ridiculous lengths, even its own fans begin questioning stuff that doesn’t make sense. The poster child for DC Universe is a guy in a red cape who protects the Earth while not even being from Earth, with his best friend being a guy who wears a tight black costume and likes to play with bats, so you can see what we’re dealing with here....
