Though nowadays blockbuster cinema is dominated by superhero movies, it is still important to remember about other genres like musicals and biopics. These genres deserve way more love than they are currently getting. But even those who don’t like musicals will find something here they will enjoy. After all, this is a genre that gets melded with others regularly, with such combinations as horror, coming-of-age, and others getting into the mix with musicals....

If you are one of the many who got totally sucked into Netflix’s first crack at a reality series, The Circle, you might have already binged all 12 episodes. In the series, based on a U.K. version of the same name, eight 20-somethings (and a few 30-somethings) enter individual apartments in the same building where they must create limited online profiles and communicate with one another solely using a voice-activated instant messaging system....

Each show presents a very different view of the DC heroes. Titans is live-action and, while hampered by a low budget, does its best with a rather gritty edge. Outsiders can cut loose via animation for much more spectacle and a wider range of characters. Each show has its fans, defenders, and even some argument as to which is better. Sure, Young Justice has better numbers and is more faithful to the comic, but the edge of Titans and its realistic approach to super-heroes is winning folks over....

Mike Myers has been acting since the mid-‘70s, but one of his most famous roles is Austin Powers. There have been three Austin Powers movies to date: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, The Spy Who Shagged Me, and Goldmember. All three films were directed by Jay Roach and star Mike Myers as Austin Powers and his arch-nemesis Dr. Evil. For years, a fourth film has been rumored, but nothing has ever come to fruition....

In 1992, Archie Comics created what we now know as the infamous “gotta go fast” hedgehog by the name of Sonic. Since the birth of this character, there has been a slew of other creatures added into the world of Moebius-Prime, including one of Sonic’s most vindictive opponents, Scourge. Scourge has green fur and is typically seen wearing a flame embroidered leather vest and red sunglasses. While he possesses all the same abilities as the real Sonic (such as super speed and strength), he has never been able to reign superior over the speedy blue hedgehog....

Isn’t it the absolute worst when a television show you love gets canceled, sometimes abruptly? After spending so many viewing hours invested in new characters and the worlds they inhabit, they’re ripped away from you. Television is a cut-throat game, especially in the days of endless streaming options. Hundreds of shows are nixed every year. Some of the cancellations are justified, but it’s often the case of a brilliant show meets the proverbial ax way too soon....

Seven years is a long time in general, and longer still for a TV show. Few shows are popular enough to sustain fan interest for that long, but Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of those few. From 1997 through 2003, Buffy captivated fans and impressed critics with seven seasons of demon slaying, pop culture references and (mostly) doomed love stories. A total of 144 episodes were produced, and many of them are classics that fans still love to relive today....

The square brackets in the above notation generally specify more than one item in the list. When using square brackets, one specifies either multiple items or a single item in the list. Whenever a programmer defines [::-1], it suggests that the program has to traverse from start to end in a given list. You can do indexing in python, which helps to slice and dice an iterable sequence such as a list or string....

Released in early January as a Netflix Original Film (based on the graphic novel of the same name), Polar (2019) stars Mads Mikkelsen as Duncan Vizla, codename “The Black Kaiser”, one of the most ruthless and successful assassins in the Damocles Company. He’s approaching 50 and retirement, and his assassin’s guild has “matched his 401k”. He stands to walk away with 8 million dollars, but he fine print of his contract dictates that should he die before retirement, all of the money owed to him would be returned to Damocles....

What Is the Invisible Web? The web is like an onion. There are many layers, almost like the Earth. The top “surface” level of that large “internet” planet is all the sites that search engines crawl and index. These are what you typically find in normal search results. However, there are deeper layers of the web, accessible through sites other than normal search engines. Deep Web: Databases and programs users need to interact with to pull content and other information from underlying databases....

Everyone knows Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the cult ’90s show about a group of teenagers fighting vampires, demons, and the forces of hormones. The show has been lauded by critics and fans alike for its mastery in correlating battles with monsters of the week to struggles of everyday teen life. For all its poignancy, Buffy was also a blast to watch. It had thrilling, edge-of-your-seat action sequences, zippy dialogue - known as “Buffy-Speak” - and enough sudsy relationships to fill an entire shelf at a romance bookstore....

When it comes to the stars of horror cinema, which names pop into your mind? Do you see Bela Lugosi, Dracula cape and all? Boris Karloff with his chilling yet soothing voice? Maybe even Kane Hodder ramming a machete through some drunken teenager? For our favorite face of horror, we look to the masterfully macabre works of Vincent Price. When it comes to classic creeps, Price’s work is beyond bountiful. From his roles in Corman’s Poe Pictures to his impressive vocal performances, he always balances out the decadent and the deadly....

When it comes to cartoons, they aren’t just for kids anymore. Netflix understands this all too well, as the streaming giant has developed some of the highest-ranked animated original series airing today. However, many of these Netflix original series are meant just for adults, and cartoons like Big Mouth are something that young children should never watch until they’re of a certain age. What’s rare, however, is when Netflix creates a new animated series that’s not just children’s entertainment but is also something their parents fall in love with as well....

Writers hardly get the credit they deserve, particularly when it comes to television and movies. The characters we love were first put on paper by writers with imagination, motivation, and a great amount of struggle. But, particularly when it comes to long-running television shows, actors have the opportunity to fully embody their characters in a way that’s not as likely in a single film. Actors can get inside and understand their characters over multiple seasons, and, sometimes, they really do know just how to speak like them....

Jordan Peele is one of the most accomplished and creative minds working in film and television today and the recent release of Nope has demonstrated that once again. Not only is he behind the feature films Get Out and Us, but he has also attached his name to revivals of The Twilight Zone and the Candyman franchise. Peele became famous for his role in the Key & Peele sketch comedy series on Comedy Central and then used his platform to transition into horror....

Netflix introduced us to Joe Goldberg/Will Bettleheim and his charming yet deadly tendencies in the show YOU. Penn Badgley, former Gossip Girl star stars in as the everyday man who is secretly a stalking psychopath and he wows and even surprises audiences with his justification of his actions. After two seasons, the show doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon as it has been highly rated and coveted. At the end of season 2, we were left with a cliffhanger that led us to believe there would definitely be a season 3....

Sales and marketing tips, research material, and statistics can help you formulate a formidable marketing plan for yourself and your clients.

The eight films of the Saw franchise are soon to become nine, as Chris Rock produces and stars in his own revival of the graphic horror series. Most dismiss the films as random scenes of torture and violence, but looking beyond the surface, there is a mind-bending story full of twists and turns. From surprise villains and secret apprentices to Jigsaw’s own (admittedly pedantic and philosophically empty) motives for crafting his intricate deathtraps....

The Middle East is a transcontinental region that includes Western Asia, Turkey, and Egypt. This diverse and expansive area has a rich artistic tradition, including numerous important contributions to cinema. While the Western news focuses on the political turmoil and religious extremism that makes life difficult for millions of everyday citizens, the vast majority of Middle Easternerners strive for a normal existence. Considering the region’s complex history, some Middle Eastern filmmakers have turned to horror to explore the fears, struggles, and ghosts that haunt their home countries....
