Each major horror franchise has its legendary dud, and the film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes is more than happy to judge these stinkers with some choice quotes and a numerical grade....
MTV started life as the music video network. However, since its creation in 1981, things have really changed for Music Television. Now, music videos are very much a rarity on MTV, not the main focus.

Back when most Americans thought anime was just a weird misspelling, Sailor Moon straightened them out. It wasn’t the first anime to air in the US, but it clicked with mainstream audiences, kicking off the wave of imported anime that followed.

It followed the journey of Scott McCall after he was bitten by a werewolf and his journey to becoming one himself along with fighting evil with his friends....

Animation usually gets some slack from the casual filmgoer. Some will deem the medium as simply child’s play, while others won’t even bother watching a piece of brilliant cartooning. But whether it be CG or traditionally hand drawn animation, if the box office numbers are any indicator (hint: they are), most moviegoers can’t get enough of these animated features.
