As far as cinema-goers are concerned, the 2010s will be remembered as the decade of the comic book adaptation. Avengers: Endgame even became the highest-grossing film of all time. This success is nothing new, producers have found it in adapted everything; books, songs, poetry, paintings, even newspaper articles about orchids - everything gets a film adaptation eventually. This is due to existing media bringing a built-in audience, and with it guaranteed attention....

Movies are prone to make mistakes with continuity, being one of the most common oversights throughout their editing process. Wardrobe malfunctions, actor placement, or even weather are all factors to take into consideration when going from scene to scene. And even the most popular films have their fair share of mistakes, not to mention CGI errors. The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers is a masterpiece in itself, a beautiful depiction of Tolkien’s universe on the big screen....

Puppet Master has proven to be as dogmatic and relentless as the killer marionettes at the center of its story. Since its release in 1989, it’s gained a cult following with a new release nearly every other year for almost 30 years. Andrew Toulon’s puppet gang have been antagonists, protagonists, and anti-heroes throughout a multitude of sequels, each building on the world imagined by the minds at Full Moon Productions....

Superhero actors often make their bones in similar action or comedy movies, if not just other comic book adaptations. But the genre has grown to such a size, and incorporated such a high number of talented actors, that you can find your favorite heroes in some unusually horrific situations. You just need to know where to look and, preferably, what you’ll find when you get there. (Unless you’re the kind of person who likes to roll the dice with their horror movies....

The new Doom Patrol show has arrived and it already has a lot of people excited. While the comic book team certainly has its fans, it is a relatively obscure property and might not be well-known among the mainstream crowd. There’s still a lot to learn about the show, especially with the characters who make up the titular team. The team of misfit would-be heroes consists of Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl, Crazy Jane and Cyborg, all led by Dr....

The ongoing Phase 4 containing movies and television shows have only added scenes to that list. The MCU has developed a reputation of delivering crowd-pleasing scenes.

To quote Bob Dylan, “Everybody must get stoned.” Now far be it for us to advocate any kind of illegal drug use. But our favorite science-fiction worlds offer plenty of options for those looking to, uh, expand their consciousness. These fantastic narcotics are not all created equal though.

Maleficent is one of the few villains that Disney has been able to turn into a heroine. Instead of re-telling the age-old classic from Sleeping Beauty’s point of view, Disney hired Angelina Jolie to humanize the dark fairy. After the success of the first installment followed by 2019’s Maleficent 2: Mistress of Evil, this antihero’s tale has brought on a new wave of admiration for the character. So much so that cosplayers have taken the time to assemble the costumes from the live-action films out of pure inspiration....

The 1990s saw a battle of epic proportions in the sit-com world as Friends and Seinfeld went head-to-head on prime time television. Many viewers tend to love one show over the other, often getting into arguments over which was the better show. Regardless, Seinfeld will go down as one of the greatest sit-coms of all-time. The “show about nothing”, starring Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards, aired for 9 seasons from 1989 to 1998 and is still in syndication today....

The laptop now features the latest 8th-generation quad-core processors, and adds the Touch Bar for the first time. This means it also adds a Touch ID biometric sensor and the Apple T2 Security chip. The 13-inch Retina display now supports True Tone. The new 13-inch MacBook Pro is priced at $1299, the same price as the previous model which lacked the Touch Bar entirely....

One of the great thrills of the MCU is seeing the same actors return to these iconic roles repeatedly. Some of these actors have been a part of the universe since the beginning, while others are quickly solidifying their place in it. Before we look at the MCU’s M.V.P.s, we’ll need to set some ground rules. We’ll be counting all MCU feature films up to and including Spider-Man: Far From Home....

Horror is certainly subjective. Different terrors frighten different people. October is, of course, prime time for horror films. Every horror fan makes a concerted effort to watch the classics and the new releases hitting streaming services and theaters. With horror, there never seems to be any middle ground. The film either succeeds or it doesn’t. One element of a solid horror film, however, seems to be a key indicator as to whether the film will gain traction with an audience - the ending....

In January, Jason Reitman’s surprise announcement that he was developing a new sequel to his father’s classic supernatural comedy Ghostbusters was met with both excitement and skepticism from the fan base. Sony already tried and failed to reboot the franchise. It was nothing to do with the cast being female; it just wasn’t that good of a movie. Things are looking promising for the proposed threequel, with terrific actors like Finn Wolfhard and Carrie Coon being eyed for the leading roles....

The last decade has been insanely successful in the TV show realm. Viewers were introduced to shows that pushed boundaries and struck up a ton of emotions.

The epic DC superhero crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths was one of the most fascinating television events of the last year. Its storyline had fan-favorite heroes fighting against almost certain doom and the stakes were raised so high it was unclear whether the good guys would win in the end or not. Now the viewers know the heroes ultimately prevailed, but it wasn’t without sacrifices. Even though the crossover is over, a lot of questions remain that need to be answered....

Compared to the reception of the Harry Potter film series, Fantastic Beasts has suffered about as many defeats as Voldemort. This prequel series helmed by J.K. Rowling has made drastic changes to the mythos of the Wizarding World, made questionable casting decisions, and has fans questioning the legitimacy of its story. One thing though that many fans haven’t necessarily complained as much about are the many continuity errors found in both films....

Original music and musical moments have been a part of television for decades. Whether the song is featured in a musical-themed episode or used as a plot device, they are always a treat to hear. However, not all comedic songs are jams, and some are either funnier than others or just better-written songs. Unfortunately, there are just too many hilarious songs featured on television, and some did not make the cut, including 30 Rock’s “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah” and The Office’s “That One Night....

No matter how many times it’s been adapted, the classic tale of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol remains all but universally beloved. But one of the most beloved adaptations of them all hails from some unlikely characters: Disney and Jim Henson’s The Muppets themselves. Released in 1992, The Muppet Christmas Carol is an absolute classic. The movie is one of the most faithful adaptations of Dickens’ tale, featuring Gonzo the Great stepping in as the narrator Dickens himself, along with best buddy Rizzo the Rat for comic relief....

Though they had been building an impressive body of work before, Fargo was the film that cemented Joel and Ethan Coen as some of the greatest American filmmakers of all time. With the tongue-in-cheek assertion that it is based on a true story, the movie tells the story of a kidnapping gone wrong which leads to a wave of violence throughout a friendly and frigid midwestern community. The movie’s mix of brutal violence and quirky humor made for a fascinating take on the crime genre and a tone many films have tried to duplicate....
