Shrek is a beloved franchise. Filled to the brim with great characters, cool locations, various fairy-tale cameos and a soundtrack that could well be considered the greatest in the history of film. The 2001 original spawned three sequels. While the second is one of the greatest films of all time, the 3rd and 4th have been met with far more hostility. Across the four-film nine-year franchise, they bump into their fair share of continuity errors....
When it comes to celebrating Christmas, the story of Santa Claus is central to the excitement for many people, especially for kids. Because Santa is such a big part of the celebration of the holiday, it’s no surprise that there are a lot of versions of Santa on Christmas movies that have been made throughout the years. While Santa is supposed to be a figure that represents being good and caring, some of the movie versions of this figure are less than jolly....

What truly sets The Blacklist apart from other crime shows is its complex characters, particularly the antihero Raymond Reddington played by James Spader. The series is popular enough to have been renewed for a season 7, which will continue to explore the complex nature of Reddington and the majority of leading characters who are still around. In order to celebrate and analyze their favorite characters, fans often like to sort them into the Hogwarts House they belong to from Harry Potter....
Severus Snape is a fascinating character in the Harry Potter series. This is undeniable. What often makes a fictional character so interesting is their ability to have an array of flaws. It’s safe to say that Snape is nowhere near perfect. This, we already know, and JK Rowling is quick to classify him as “flawed”. Yet it often feels as though that is putting it mildly. Sometimes, the potions master can be downright problematic....
Anyone who hasn’t yet tuned in to This Is Us has sorely missed out on a few good cries thanks to the ridiculously good writers. The show tells the story of a broken family, whose past and current lives intertwine to teach life lessons. Each episode delivers a new change, epiphany, or loss to the Pearson family that makes hearts ache and opens the floodgates. Even the manliest of men will be reaching for a tissue by the end of one of Jack Pearson’s monologues....
When the holiday season is upon us, there’s nothing better than watching Hallmark movie after Hallmark movie. With thousands of titles to Hallmark’s name, their Christmas movies are some of their best. Each movie seems to have the perfect setting, either in a quaint small-town or a bustling big city, and there’s always a love interest. Mix in a few hot cocoas, snowy walks, and cookie-baking, and we have the perfect recipe for a Christmas Hallmark movie....
One of the methods of doing this is turning off all unnecessary Windows 10 services.

Black Adam, which releases in less than a year, promises to expand upon the lore of the DCEU, bringing us a version of The Justice Society of America. The film’s re-imagining of the classic superhero team raises quite a few questions as to where the creative minds behind the DCEU have planned. Black Adam arrived in October 2022, and while the Justice Society of America has appeared on the small screen in Smallville and The Arrowverse, this is their debut on the big screen....
Agnès Varda died on March 29th at the ripe old age of 90, leaving behind a formidable filmography spanning six decades. Known affectionately as the “grandmother of the New Wave,” she was a pioneer in the creation of a truly female cinematic language and voice. From her earliest days as a champion of feminist ideals to her later years as a documentarian and icon of eccentric style, Varda’s body of work is a veritable embarrassment of riches that demands to be seen, mulled-over and savored by every movie lover–old, young and in-between....
The Guardians have become some of the most beloved characters in the MCU. Endgame served as a definitive end to a decade-long saga, but it also brought about many beginnings. In the case of the Guardians, we last saw them getting ready to set out on the probable quest for Gamora. Behind-the-scenes drama with James Gunn pushed back the original release of GotG Vol. 3 for after Phase 4. Unfortunately, Phase 4’s humongous schedule hasn’t even begun yet....
One of the trickier elements of creating a believable setting in a fantasy or science-fiction story is establishing that setting’s economy. Because while it may not factor into the story very much, it gives the audience a more fleshed out world that’s easier to invest in. This is especially pertinent for science-fiction, since the genre is rooted in what humans can achieve as opposed to what they can’t. So when we get something like the economy in Total Recall, it’s hard to take seriously....
Pink clothing, whether butter is a carb, and October 3rd will forever remind us of the classic film Mean Girls. Released in 2004 and written by the amazing Tina Fey, the story of high schoolers navigating friendship and popularity will never get old. Sure, there are many movies and TV series that are highly quoteable. Almost every Seinfeld quote could work in almost any situation. But there’s something special about the dialogue in Mean Girls....
It was recently announced that Taika Waititi had taken on the long-gestating Flash Gordon reboot in an effort to finally crack it, and he’ll probably do a fine job with it as a sort of meta, wink-to-the-audience comedy. But nothing can replace the shameless ingenuity of the old ‘80s original. Previously, Sam J. Jones dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the lead role, Queen provided an unforgettable glam rock soundtrack, and Mike Hodges’ direction brought Mongo, Sky City, and the Hawkmen to life in all their pulpy space opera glory....
KGI It has been a tough slough for Apple’s iPad since the height of its popularity in 2013. Facing its second straight year of negative growth, there isn’t a consensus on why iPad sales have declined. I believe the slump is attributable to a combination of factors. Apple CEO Tim Cook called the declining iPad sales a “speed bump” last year before the launch of the 2014 models, but we haven’t seen what Apple plans to do to rejuvenate the product....

Horror cinema relies heavily on atmosphere, and is, if anything, a director’s genre. But, many of the unsung heroes of the genre are the performers who bring these characters to life. The dark places that these actors have to explore, both as the victims and villains of these stories, are some of the hardest work one could attempt. Over the lifetime of the genre, there have been hundreds upon hundreds of outstanding roles and performances from actors....
A web application security scanner is a software program which performs automatic black-box testing on a web application and identifies security vulnerabilities. Scanners do not access the source code; they only perform functional testing and try to find security vulnerabilities. Various paid and free web application vulnerability scanners are available. In this post, we are listing the best free open-source web application vulnerability scanners. I’m adding the tools in random order, so please do not think it is a ranking of tools....
Whodunits and murder mystery movies are making a big comeback these days. Two years ago we saw the star-studded Murder on the Orient Express, which was successful enough to warrant a sequel, Death on the Nile, due next October. Of course, right in front of us is Knives Out, the A-list murder mystery whodunit opening this Thanksgiving weekend. The Rian Johnson film stars Chris Evans, Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, and many more....
