LinkedIn had more than 740 million active users in 2020, meaning that it is now much more than merely a networking site for professionals. It is an ideal place for many businesses to demonstrate thought leadership and market their brands. However, as with all social media, you need to find a way to operate your LinkedIn accounts as efficiently as possible. The best solution to this is to use a LinkedIn posting tool to save your business time....

There’s a common saying in the movie industry, “That’s Hollywood,” and it can be used in many instances, but in most cases, it’s when an actor’s five minutes of fame has run out. It’s very rarely unprovoked, and the events are usually set into motion fairly quickly after an actor’s big movie nosedives at the box office or is critically scathed. When it comes to movie careers, it has been proven more than once that one bad role could end an actor’s career for good....

Tetris has been the king of the video game puzzle genre since the ’80s. It is the definitive example of gameplay over graphics. Even the most primitive of computers can run Tetris and it will be just as enjoyable as if it were running on a top-end machine. You have to guide different shaped blocks to the bottom of the screen, in order to make them into lines that will disappear....

For many years, there has been a perception that the Walt Disney Company is this mysterious and impenetrable entertainment giant. To this day, the general public discuss rumors and tall tales surrounding Disney in all its incarnations, from whispers about the parks to legends about the studios. Though most, if not all, of the long-standing urban legends are debunked, there are still many things that fans do not know about Disney....

Disney movies have the power of bringing out the believer in the viewers, getting them caught up in the wonder and imagination that each film brings about. We suspend our ordinary ideas about reality and find ourselves lost in a mystical magical world that Disney has created for us. Disney and magic are almost synonymous, with many of the classic and newer films consisting of spells, curses, powers, and other sorcery....

When Robert Englund first introduced Freddy Krueger in Wes Craven’s seminal 1984 horror classic A Nightmare On Elm Street, most moviegoers were, understandably, terrified. Freddy was born out of a traumatising incident from Craven’s childhood when, late one night, while looking out of his bedroom window, he spotted a disturbed-looking elderly man walking down a secluded side path at the side of his family’s home. That, coupled with a Los Angeles Times newspaper story about a group of Southeast Asian refugees so haunted by their experiences that they ended up suffering horrific nightmares, proved the inspiration for one cinema’s most iconic bogeymen....

The Boondocks originally had an underground following, though, by the end of the series it had a mainstream audience. An audience that comes to enjoy the in-your-face comedy that revolved around real-life issues in the African American community. It was never accidentally controversial but, instead, was disappointed when it wasn’t. It was the series that spoke truth to power and delved into societal issues that other mainstream shows wouldn’t even dream of touching....

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the sequel to the original series penned by J.K. Rowling. It was adapted into a play by Jack Thorne. Premiering in 2016, the play has been a great success both in the West End and Broadway. Some of the characters are simply older versions of the ones we know from the original books and movies. But some are new. Other changes? Hermione is played by a black actress....

In 2008, Jon Favreau’s Iron Man landed in theaters. It wasn’t the comic book movie event of the year — that distinction goes to Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight — but it was a close second. Through sequels, crossovers, and “Phases,” Iron Man has grown into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the biggest movie franchise in film history. The influence on future MCU movies can be seen clear as day in Iron Man....

Iron Man is one of the most popular heroes in the Marvel universe. Though he’s been present in the comic book world for decades, his first solo movie, Iron Man, released in 2008 and really launched the character into the pop-culture world. The billionaire, genius, playboy, philanthropist is easily recognized, even among people who haven’t seen the Avengers movies. For those who have, he’s considered one of the Earth’s greatest defenders....

Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez is a documentary on Netflix that has returned attention to the real story behind the Aaron Hernandez case. The former New England Patriots star hasn’t been able to escape the limelight even after his death, with this documentary only serving to fuel the discussion once again. We want to run through some of the aspects of the show that we found to be the most shocking across all three episodes....

It’s been over five years since Terence Winter’s Boardwalk Empire aired its final episode, and the crime-drama set in prohibition-era Atlantic City has left audience viewers craving more action from characters the likes of Nucky Thompson. Enoch ‘Nucky’ Thompson was the no-nonsense protagonist of Boardwalk Empire who easily fit into the category of “anti-hero” that television audiences have quickly grown fond of. But while the notorious crime-boss of Atlantic City might not be around to give us any more episodes, there are still a few shows out there that resemble the same format as the east-coast gangster-drama....

It had become a tradition to have a new entry in the Fast & Furious franchise every couple of years, but we’ve had to wait a bit longer for the ninth film’s release. Now that the first official trailer has dropped, the movie’s outlook has become clearer. For one to be fully prepared to watch the film, they need to be aware of what they’re getting into. For that reason, we’ve dissected the official trailer to present 10 points that should be what the movie centers around....

The DC Extended Universe has taken a swing upwards in quality and commercial value after the releases of Aquaman and Shazam!. Wonder Woman’s amazing performance also paved the way for the DCEU to shift its storylines to self-contained movies rather than ensemble pieces. With this change also comes the possibility of loose ends never being tied up. Zack Snyder was supposed to map the DCEU out, but his firing has meant the seeds he placed will never grow....

When Veronica Mars first started out, the world was a lot simpler than today, and we didn’t stop to think about quite a lot of things the main character said. Now that life seems difficult and complicated, Veronica’s quotes have taken on a new meaning. Her reflections on the world were insightful, and most of her words hit very close to home now. As Season 4 of the series is set to begin, we can expect more wisdom from this sassy girl, but let’s first rewind to quotes we already know from Veronica, and see the ones we can most relate to....

Updated March 20th, 2020 by Alyssa Avina. How I Met Your Mother had many instances of offensive and inappropriate behaviors being played off as jokes when in actuality they were highly problematic. Every character on the show has fallen into the category of problematic and over time, the matter at hand has only grown more impossible to ignore. They have found a way to offend nearly every group of people – every minority – and it is not easy to swallow these so-called jokes any longer....

Who doesn’t love a good romance movie? Those moments where the unsuspecting leads finally fall for each other always leave audiences with a warm, fuzzy feeling, and affirm our belief that true love does exist and can be found. But not all romance movies have a happy ending. Sometimes, instead of the couple walking blissfully into the sunset, they walk away from each other in different directions. The next 15 movies on this list feature relationships that take a turn for the worse, leaving you tearing up and reaching for the tissue box....

When the Walt Disney Company bought the 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, a shockwave was sent through the entertainment industry. Disney now owned one of its biggest competitors and its entire film, television, and franchise library. Once the company also announced its very own streaming service, aptly named Disney +, speculation ran rampant as to what exactly would be available come launch day, which not so strangely didn’t include everything (you need to keep releasing material to keep people subscribed and entice new subscribers)....

When people think of East Asian horror, movies like Ring and Ju-on: The Grudge no doubt spring to mind. Many countries in this large continent look to their respective folklore when making horror, which is why there are so many Asian movies featuring the likes of yūrei, the kumiho, and many other kinds of hungry ghosts. Modern Asian horror is no longer just scary female ghosts haunting your electronics, though. In a bid to modernize the genre and explore new horizons, Asian filmmakers looked to one popular Western sub-genre for inspiration: slashers....
