The holiday season is currently upon us and cable channels are in full competition to see who can cram the most Christmas movies down our throats by the time December 25th comes around. We’re definitely not complaining, especially when those movies include classics such as A Charlie Brown Christmas Special. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the whole gang of Peanuts give one of their best on-screen performances in this particular special as everybody’s favorite group of blockheads try to find the real meaning of Christmas....

No matter if you prefer Mary Lambert’s original 1989 take on the story, or the recent remake by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, one element of Pet Sematary that always works is “Church” the cat: a smelly, reanimated feline and one of the spookiest parts of both the novel and films. But Church isn’t nearly the most dangerous, frightening, or disturbing animal in cinema. Below are ten other flicks featuring killer creatures that would have Stephen King’s zombie cat messing in his litter box....

Budgets for Hollywood movies can get pretty intense. Of course, action flicks, superhero movies, and anything with lots of explosions and inhuman characters is likely to rack up quite a lot of expenses. That being said, it’s really the CGI effects that cost A LOT of pennies. Most movies with these kinds of effects make for a pretty intense and incredible cinematic experience, but has anyone ever wondered just how much the best effects out there actually cost?...

The movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are always so busy referencing each other and throwing in Easter eggs that tease future sequels and storylines and character introductions that you wouldn’t think they’d have time to make reference to movies and TV shows outside the MCU. And yet, they do! Tony Stark is responsible for most of the movie and TV references in the MCU. He’s given pretty much everyone a pop culture-inspired nickname: Hawkeye is “Legolas,” Thor is “Point Break,” Bucky is “Manchurian Candidate,” Peter Quill is “Flash Gordon,” Loki is “Rock of Ages” etc....

HBO’s eclectic anthology series Room 104, created by the Duplass brothers, is the perfect vehicle for providing new filmmakers across all genres with an opportunity to create cinematic stories about the lives of people checking into an unnamed hotel in America. Filmmakers involved in the series include So Yong Kim, Patrice Brice, Liza Johnson, and Sarah Adina Smith. Room 104 does a good job of breaking out into dreamlike sequences, where distinctions between reality and fantasy are completely obscured....

Netflix’s groundbreaking miniseries Unbelievable is a show that really lives up to its name. Of course, the title most clearly refers to the fact that a young girl who comes forward with her experience of rape is not believed and treated absolutely abysmally by all of the people around her. But there is also an obvious meta level meaning to it, because honestly the entire story is so insane that it really is hard to believe, even if the audience knows that the story is true....

The next season of BoJack Horseman will air on Netflix at the end of the month, and its sixth season will be its last. The announcement was made via YouTube, with the closing season of the animated series set to debut in two installments in October and January respectively. BoJack has been one of Netflix’s biggest successes and has tackled serious stigmas surrounding mental health whilst luring fans with the vibrant, colorful world of anthropomorphic characters....

One of the reasons for the lagging movement in achieving GDPR compliance is the poor understanding of what the regulation expects you, as a business, to do. GDPR is many things, but one thing that’s universal about it is the regulation is all about the data. In this article, I’ll look at 10 areas that touch on the data requirements of GDPR. Consent to process data Consent is the legal basis upon which the GDPR pivots....

Matt Murdock is a man with many talents. In addition to being an experienced lawyer, he defends Hell’s Kitchen from villains such as Kingpin and The Hand by patrolling the night as Daredevil, The Man Without Fear. He has developed quite the reputation under this alias. Daredevil is officially in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His first appearance in his post-Netflix career came in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but it was just as attorney Matt Murdock....

The Godfather and its sequel are praised as two of the greatest movies ever made (the third one, not so much), and they remain a pair of timeless classics that film buffs revisit again and again. But making them wasn’t easy. Throughout the early ‘70s and much later in the early ‘90s, production on The Godfather trilogy was marred with problems. Director Francis Ford Coppola constantly clashed with the studio, from executives trying to get him replaced while shooting the first movie to the filmmaker not even wanting to make a third one....

Like Dorothy says in The Wizard of Oz, “There’s no place like home.” Movies for families and about families are a staple at the cineplex, and they can be found in every genre from animation to horror. There’s no shortage of iconic same-sex siblings relationships found on the silver screen: Michael and Fredo Corleone, the March sisters, Thor and Loki, Gilbert and Arnie Grape, Jake and Elwood, Tina and Queenie, and Anna and Elsa....

Ever since beginning her film career at the age of 14 (with a minor role in the Academy-Award-nominated teen drama Thirteen), Vanessa Hudgens has steadily become a very lucrative actress. Her first big role was starring in the hit D-COM High School Musical, earning her a reputation as a talented actress. From there she was able to successfully land several bankable film roles, starring in an array of action films and crime thrillers, and more recently she’s also appeared in a couple of well-received Netflix Christmas specials....

The Toy Story series is one of the few film franchises that has universal appeal. Each and every film creates immense feelings of joy and nostalgia in those viewing it as they watch the adventures of some anthropomorphic toys as they bop around in their colorful, bright world. However, just like every animation in the world, the Toy Story franchise is filled to the brim with continuity errors. The human element isn’t there to keep everything in line, so there are various examples of animation mistakes or inconsistencies, here are ten....

DC Comics has been going through a renaissance as of late. Despite the cinematic disasters of Dawn of Justice and Justice League, Warner Bros and DC finally appear to be getting their movies right after the recent successes of Birds of Prey, Shazam, Wonder Woman, and to an extent, Joker. Hopefully, the critical success that DC has been enjoying of late will help give Warner Bros the confidence to green-light some lesser-known, yet high deserving properties in a similar vein to what Marvel has been doing with its own characters....

Sylvester Stallone practically invented the now-clichéd boxing underdog story that has been copied over and over with his Oscar-nominated screenplay for the first Rocky movie back in 1976. Although the studio didn’t expect it to do well, it came out of the gate and became a tremendous box office success. Boxing isn’t universally relatable, but going after your goals against all odds definitely is. The boxing is all just an elaborate metaphor built around that theme....

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) and Rocketman (2019) released to thunderous media and audience buzz. The last year has been a landmark one in the music biopic circuit. Despite the controversy surrounding director Bryan Singer and rampant questions concerning the film’s accuracy, Bohemian Rhapsody managed to demolish box office records and procure four Oscars (including the highly coveted Oscar for best actor). While it didn’t quite measure up to Bohemian Rhapsody’s lush box office success, Rocketman held its own, enjoying seemingly boundless praise for its production quality and for Taron Egerton’s performance as the force of nature that is Elton John....

You’d be hard-pressed to find an action movie as insane as John Woo’s Face/Off. The premise alone is like a mad joke. An FBI agent (John Travolta) undergoes a procedure to have the face of a terrorist (Nicolas Cage) swapped with his. The plan unsurprisingly goes wrong when the terrorist steals the agent’s face to take his identity. That’s just the beginning of the madness as Travolta and Cage give some of their most outrageous performances, going way over-the-top in impersonating each other....

The docuseries, which include five one-hour (or so) parts, feature an interview with Elizabeth Kendall, Bundy’s long-time girlfriend and her daughter Molly. This is the first time the two have ever talked publicly about their lives with Bundy. While they never married, Bundy and Elizabeth spent many years together in a long-term relationship prior to her knowing who he was and what he was doing. It’s raw and emotional and features more details about many of his victims than has been revealed before, thanks to interviews with some who survived and family members of those who didn’t....

Walt Disney’s Peter Pan is one of the shining gems of Disney royalty. Any time anyone nowadays hears the name Peter Pan, this is the version they think of. Since its debut in 1953, it has been Disney’s perfect kids’ flick. There’s just something about it that captures the magic of childhood. Though Peter still flies with the magic of Neverland today, bringing the movie to life certainly certainly wasn’t easy....

When it comes to animated movies, you will struggle to find a more reliable company than Pixar at producing fantastic films, with the company having an amazing track record after creating the likes of Toy Story and Up. However, even the greatest have a few slip-ups every now and then. When you have a growing library of films, not all of them are going to be able to hold to the same standard as the rest, and that is the case with Pixar as well....
