The Rise of Skywalker finally concludes both Disney’s sequel trilogy and the Skywalker saga that began back in 1977. The film’s predecessor The Last Jedi directed by Rian Johnson was lauded by critics but divided fans. With JJ back at the helm of the franchise, the film promised a satisfying and emotional sendoff to its beloved characters. Unfortunately, the film received the opposite reaction and was panned by critics yet celebrated by fans....

Watching Return of the Jedi after The Empire Strikes Back can feel a bit like an emotional letdown. All of the narrative complexities of the previous installment change from an introspective and gritty tragedy to a more cathartic closing act to George Lucas’s science fiction opus. Instinctively we know that good must triumph over evil in the Star Wars Saga, but Return of the Jedi can make it feel less earned....

Horror flicks can easily be about anything that makes our skin crawl. From maniacs with masks and sharp objects to haunted houses populated by vengeful spirits, finding something frightening is as easy as knowing where to look. But when it comes to certain members of the genre, they need to look no farther than human superstition. Urban legends and campfire tales have been with us since the birth of language itself, so it makes sense that they would transition well from the campfire to the screen....

While the world of Harry Potter might contain a lot of magic and wonder, there are many things about it that just don’t make a lot of sense. While magic allows people in the wizarding world to do a lot of things more efficiently, such as appear from place to place instantly and levitate objects, there are many things that wizards and witches do that aren’t practical. Muggle inventions and technology actually have many advantages to things in the wizarding world, and there are many inventions that the wizarding world should use but don’t....

Pokémon: Detective Pikachu is a fan’s dream. We would have never imagined that we’d see the pocket monsters we grew up collecting as children in live action on the big screen. Sure, the property is so popular it was bound to happen, but there was something surreal to see it in real life. While there is plenty of fan service, we couldn’t help but notice a few notable faces were missing....

Most of Musical.ly’s fans are aged between 13 and 21. The typical Musical.ly teen makes a video of themselves lip synching to a favorite track. They then upload it to Musical.ly so they can share their effort with their friends. Some of the young fans will just hang out there because their friends do. They may upload the odd lip synching track, but little else. You will find similar amateur pages on most social networks....

The Hunger Games is a relatively new series, but it has already aged in some questionable ways. The first film was released in 2012 on the coattails of Harry Potter’s conclusion and helped launch the career of Jennifer Lawrence. Catching Fire followed one year later, and the Mockingjay films were released throughout 2014 and 2015. These movies were obviously never as big as Harry Potter, and the movies weren’t quite as good....

The West Wing is considered one of the most influential TV series of all times. With its portrayal of US politics and its in-depth inquisition into proceedings at the White House, it provides invigorating and interesting viewing. President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) runs the show at the White House, and his team stands together to accomplish all kinds of feats, from nuclear treaties to bomb diffusions. Still, there are some things which don’t quite make sense on the series, or which viewers might have wondered about....

Love it or hate it, Fox’s Gotham is one massive television sensation. Although many believe it makes no sense without a full-fledged Batman, Gotham has found a dedicated fanbase of DC lovers. However, the show isn’t always that loyal to the DC comics that have inspired its world, characters, and themes. In some cases, the show has diverted from the source material in notable ways. Sometimes it hasn’t even been that respectful of what fans have come to expect from this gritty superhero world....

Thanks to series like LOST, Game of Thrones, and The Walking Dead, it has become commonplace for TV series to kill off main characters. It provides the shock value that keeps viewers glued to their TVs and keeps actors on their toes week-to-week, season-to-season, never knowing who might be next to get a pink slip. That said, sometimes characters are killed off for more than just dramatic effect. An actor might ask to leave or get out of their contract, or their contract might have simply expired with no desire to renew....

After a tumultuous season revolving around a mysterious death and the never-ending list of suspects, 13 Reasons Why can finally move on from Bryce Walker - but will it? The villain of the first two seasons is killed before season 3 begins, but Bryce’s death is uncovered over the course of the next 13 episodes. A number of characters come into focus as possible suspects as each episode reveals who to cross off the list....

The formula for a successful television show is a tough one to crack, and it’s rare to find a series that can pull it all off. Some TV series start off a bit shakey, but find their footing at a later date. Others take the world by storm, before falling under their own hubris. Sadly, even the Netflix generation only have so much time on our hands for binge-watching, and any show that loses their luster rarely gets a second chance (sorry American Horror Story) – especially when there’s so many other great series we could be spending our evenings and weekends on (case in point, Jessica Jones)....

It’s high time that filmmakers understood the need for quality material when it comes to adapting video game series into movies, and recent times have indicated just this with a few well-received films being released. With Sonic the Hedgehog proving to be a critical success, it makes sense to check out where it is positioned in the best-ever rankings for video game movies. Since there have only been certain movies that have had significant acclaim, you’ll find quite some “rotten” films on this list....

The thought of remaking an iconic film like Pulp Fiction could be considered blasphemous. The award-winning 1994 movie launched director Quentin Tarantino into superstardom and gave the career of John Travolta a much-needed jolt. It also elevated actors Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman to A-list status. If words like “remake” and “reboot” make you nervous, that’s understandable. Messing with a beloved film that has such a loyal following could only end in disaster....

Interestingly, the final installment in the original Star Wars trilogy might well be the one that avoided errors the best. There are no glaring plot holes in the original, and very few that the prequels retrospectively created. Even so, there are still plenty to work our way through. In the film that saw the Empire finally defeated and the second Death Star destroyed, we have gathered ten of the biggest errors in continuity....

Jean-Claude Van Damme, as a movie star, is more known for his spinning kicks and splits than for his one-liners, which is a shame. Van Damme is not only insanely quotable in real life, he also holds his own on screen. Arnold may be the absolute king of quotes, but JCVD is not far behind. They both have great delivery, as well as an unmistakable accent, but Van Damme’s filmography was often made on a noticeably smaller budget....

Movie buffs settled in for the most anticipated event of the year, the 92nd Academy Awards, which premiered on February 9th, 2020. With many incredibly hilarious, touching, and celebratory moments throughout the evening, there were many viral parts of the ceremony. With everyone’s favorite celebrities accepting awards for the best films of the year, surely everyone had their favorite moment. However, one thing that all movie fans can agree on is the perfect and wholesome addition to the evening, Bong Joon-ho....
