The James Bond franchise is encroaching on sixty years old, making it one of the longest consistently running film series of all time. Films generally come out within two to three years of each other on average, with the longest gap being six years between Licence To Kill and Goldeneye. With more than twenty films under its belt, countless stories and bits of trivia are abundant, as the following ten entries show....
There are very few things as wholesome as a franchise following a group of delightfully mismatched, quirky anthropomorphic animals. The Madagascar franchise is pretty much the epitome of this. With a cast spotlighting Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer, Chris Rock, and Jada Pinkett Smith, it was destined to be a hit. Despite its widely-loved success, there are a fair few continuity errors that rear their heads both within and between films....
In 2014, Disney gave us Maleficent and introduced us to the other side of the coin involving a beloved and timeless classic, Sleeping Beauty, by showing the events from before and during the original film from the villain Maleficent’s point of view. From this new perspective, we learned all about this seemingly evil fairy and found out what happened to her to make her curse a young baby. As the film goes on, we see her good side as she watches over and protects Aurora from harm throughout her life....
When Scream premiered in 1996, it was great news for horror buffs who wanted a new franchise to get excited about. Wes Craven directed all four films and proved that slasher movies could be hilarious and clever as well as being scary. Neve Campbell stars as Sidney Prescott, the girl whose mother was murdered before the first film starts, and who realizes that someone out there is ready to get revenge on the events that followed....
This past decade has welcomed more and more inclusive movies that highlight LGTBQ+ voices and experiences. Instead of sticking to negative tropes, such movies eschew stereotypes, making of these characters much more than their sexual identity. Movies over the past decade have done a better job of casting LGBTQ+ actors in roles, too. While not all of the actors portraying the queer-identifying characters on this list are queer themselves, their depictions are some of the most affirming for members of the LGBTQ+ community....
While The Lord of the Rings series might be better known as a story because of the popularity of the movies, The Hobbit is what started it all. Generations of fans have enjoyed the story of Bilbo’s adventure with Thorin and Company, and it was this story that laid the foundation of everything that would happen in The Lord of the Rings. While the book is loved by many, the trilogy of movies expanded on the book and included information from appendices of the LOTR series, too....

Chopped is one of the coolest and craziest cooking shows on TV. What makes it so much fun to watch is the random collection of ingredients placed in each basket. Each contestant must use the mystery ingredients to make the best dish possible in the time limit allotted. Those who fail get chopped! Of course, a chef is only as good as his or her ingredients. But sometimes the ingredients are so weird that even professional chefs have never seen or heard of them....
When it comes to reality shows, there are always parts of a season (or situations related to the franchise as a whole) that producers end up leaving out. Typically, this happens either by design or due to disinterest in storylines that don’t seem to lead anywhere. After more than a decade on air, it is obvious to fans that RuPaul’s Drag Race is no different. Over the course of 13 regular seasons and six All Stars seasons, there is no denying that RuPaul’s Drag Race has deliberately or unintentionally left certain storylines go without any actual resolution....

Making a show based on a film is always risky. It becomes a lot riskier when the movie is as beloved and unique as the Coen Brothers masterpiece, Fargo. The show adopts the movie’s fake true story premise to tell various stories of violence and crime all set in the cold and calm American Midwest. Surprising to many, the show not only lives up to its incredible source material but also forges its own impressive path....

The superhero movie genre has never been as big as it is today, and a great deal of the success can be attributed to the influx of Marvel movies, specifically with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The shared universe is about to release its 21st film since 2008, but Marvel movies were being made long before. Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and the original X-Men helped kick off the new milenium, while the first true live-action movie came with Howard the Duck in 1986....
Edgar Wright has been one of the most creative filmmakers of the modern era. Known for his genre-bending exercise for his six-movie filmography (including his lesser known directorial debut A Fistful of Fingers), he truly made a mark for filmmakers of the next generation to push the boundaries for creativity and challenge the power of cinema. Not exaggerating there, but on examining his techniques, one can really see how Edgar Wright managed to play with significant cinematic tropes and weave them effectively to his movies....
While Cartoon Network’s daytime selection is oriented toward younger viewers, when the kids go to sleep at night, Adult Swim takes over the channel. Adult Swim features selections of comedic ventures geared toward adults, and many of the shows are pretty far out there. Adult Swim is a mix of original programming and syndicated series, and it has become a platform for experimental voices in humor. Original animated series like Ricky and Morty, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Space Ghost Coast to Coast have helped to set the tone for Adult Swim, yet many of the block’s most absurd offerings are live-action....

As much as we love to watch the hilarious cringefests that unfold inside the tiny Scranton office of Dunder Mifflin, it’s sometimes nice to have a change of pace every so often and pick up a different sitcom to binge on Netflix. Yet we think to ourselves, how could there possibly be a better option out there than The Office? What other sitcoms will offer characters that manage to make us laugh as hard as we do with Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute?...
