You can always rely on a good “dad joke” from your dad’s. Dads are a lot of things. Protective, annoying, comforting, solid, funny, embarrassing, or all of the above. Dads come in all kinds of forms, no two alike. It’s fun to watch them on screen, as you can identify traits in dad characters to your own dad, or maybe you wish that your dad was more like a TV dad....
Vile, offensive, and shocking, the Italian cannibal boom of the 70s and 80s grew from ground tilled by the Mondo film–documentary features purported to show real violence and strange rituals from cultures around the world. The cannibal film took this desire to see “real” violence and applied it to a narrative structure, resulting in a subgenre more reviled than any other with grand Guignol-style simulated gore and actual animal violence....

In an age where marketing is very important for any kind of media, it’s become easier to build on something rather than create something from scratch. The amount of reboots, remakes, and most prominently, sequels, that have been released in the past decade is quite significant. This is largely - if not completely - due to the nostalgia factor, something that so many filmmakers rely on these days, especially after the success of the IT movies and Netflix’s Stranger Things....
The new Netflix show, Locke & Key, premiered in February of 2020. The show is based on the popular comic book series by the same name. Fans couldn’t wait to see how Netflix would bring to life the popular story to the small screen. The original comic’s storyline is based around the discovery of another dimension, the plains of Leng, filled with demons found by a Locke. The show follows the same idea with the Locke family, after the murder of their father, are forced to return to the family home, the Key House....
Remakes used to be the bane of Hollywood, but ever since Disney has been having success remaking its animated classics in live-action and other classics have been recontextualized for modern times, the remake as a concept has been re-evaluated. It’s not a mark of a bad or lazy movie anymore. A remake can be just as good as an original movie if it is as thought out and carefully considered and well-executed....
Science fiction does its best at predicting the future. Sometimes it is so far off one cannot help but laugh in hindsight, while other times one wonders if the filmmakers were clairvoyants based on how close they were to emulating the actual future. The following list will show both sides of the coin. Of course, a few older films which grossly miscalculated the present day still got a few things right, and the ones whose predictions came true maybe presented the idea in a different way....

The DC’s first proper live-action attempt at the Justice League didn’t exactly go down as the studio expected. With large amounts of interference from Warner Bros. a critical and commercial disaster and a lot of fan love and hate, it’s quite the polarising movie. While many people are quick to criticize his superhero action blockbusters, there are quite a few elements of Zack Snyder’s films that have actually aged quite well....
The Walking Dead has seen significant success in its day, but one thing it is not praised for is its consistency and continuity. Characters are driven by the plot and given the arcs that are most convenient at the time. The storylines that most of the Walking Dead characters wind up getting are never ones that seem true to their character. Sometimes, they don’t even make much sense. Walking Dead logic can be pretty hard to follow, and sometimes it seems that even the writers themselves can’t keep up with all the questionable decisionmaking....
When Disney acquired Fox the most exciting thought for many fans was how the Marvel characters Fox owned the rights to could integrate into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The new Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer opens up a ton of possibilities with the introduction of the Multiverse. That, plus the addition of Disney+, which arrives this fall, gives Marvel a big chance to explain why the X-Men and Fantastic Four – if they existed in the same world as the rest of Marvel Comics characters – did not show up to fight alongside everyone in the battle against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame....
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is known for mixing elements from its comic book source material with brand-new ideas to form what has become the most successful film and television franchises of recent years. Because of this tendency, the universe often shies away from fully comics-accurate costumes, changing them up to make them more realistic, or to suit the tone of the film they are in. The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to fire on all cylinders, introducing new characters constantly in titles like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law....
