In 2008, Sons of Anarchy rocked the FX channel for the first time. The biker-centric drama series had all the hard-hitting, tough-nosed grit of a crime series with a poignancy that counterbalanced all the gang on gang violence. Often compared to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Kurt Sutter’s high-octane series tracked Jax Teller’s transformation from a capable leader to the man he feared the most. More than three years removed from the show’s final episode, fans are still picking up small clues and details as they re-watch FX’s most viewed series....

Probably Wolverine’s most defining mutant trait — other than, you know, those razor sharp claws that pop out between his knuckles — is his healing factor. While bullets don’t bounce off of Logan’s skin, he can heal from any bullet wound in just a few minutes.

With technological advancement came even more predictions of the future, as well as critiques of the present, and a barrage of sci-fi films tackled both subjects....

By and large, we think practical effects in movies are superior to ones made with CGI. The horror community especially feels a strong reverence for handmade effects. As ideal as it is to feature homespun visuals in a scary movie, it’s not always feasible. A film sometimes resorts to using CGI because of time constraints or other on-set problems. It can be painstaking to go fully practical. Moreover, the special effects in some horror movies are CGI-based in spite of looking practical....

Fortunately, the lackluster labels attached to these otherwise awesome films were replaced before they hit theatres – in some instances, only just barely....

They Live is a film that only gets better with age, standing as a polemic against mass media manipulation and blind, unrestrained capitalism....
