Although Coven relies heavily on images of horror and gore to tell its story, the season is a modern coming of age story complete with thrilling storylines and killer fashion....

Most of us are familiar with the genius of Jim Henson, whether from The Muppets, Sesame Street, or any number of his films. The famous puppeteer and creator certainly had a gift for creating memorable and visually stunning characters. So much so, in fact, that an entire workshop was created dedicated to the production of some of these famous creatures. Classic shows like The Storyteller and Fraggle Rock (and movies like Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal) owe everything to this visionary....

With hundreds of legendary sitcoms out there, it can be incredibly hard to make a difference on TV. Grasping the audience through the art of humor and relationships, sitcoms have notes to hit in order to make it a success. The 10 sitcoms listed below were iconic in their own right, lasting for multiple seasons and winning many awards. But no matter how good they were, their finales didn’t match the rest of the season....

Airing since 2017, Dear White People is a Netflix original series based on the 2014 movie of the same name. The show follows students of color through their typical college drama. Samantha is the protagonist, and she owns a radio show after which the series is called, where she addresses political and social issues that she is fed up with seeing around the university campus. Labeled as a ‘woke’ show, Dear White People enlightens its audience on examples of everyday racism, especially around young adults, that need to be changed....

There is no shortage of comedies in this world but when it comes to the top tier, that’s a shortlist that always includes Ghostbusters. Taking Saturday Night Live alumni and ’trading extra-terrestrial for supernatural,’ star Sigourney Weaver produced a legendary comedy. You’ll hear endless stories about how much or how most of the film is improvised by its stars, particularly Bill Murray. You’ll notice great subtle jokes amid the flowing, natural chemistry of the cast, but there are always more things to notice....

Over thirty years since its initial release, Top Gun is still revered as one of the most popular aviation films out there. Not only does it have memorable characters, but also a catchy soundtrack and quotable lines. But while Top Gun’s simple story works for a movie, can it be translated into a television series? Absolutely, because there’s a whole history of aviation-themed TV series that came out before and after Top Gun with the same blend of action and drama in them....

The price point of this device is not yet known. Interestingly, Digitimes reports that the device will usurp the 11 inch Air in the lineup, perhaps suggesting that the 12 inch Air will be in the same ballpark as far as price is concerned. Due to landing orders for both the 12 inch MacBook Air and the Apple Watch, expected in March, Quanta will hire an additional 30,000 people according to the report....

There are very few things in the world that most people would universally agree on. But the fact that Pennywise the dancing clown is one of the creepiest, scariest, and most unsettling film and book villains of all time is something that most people wouldn’t ever argue with. Stephen King’s ability to capitalize on what scares people is obviously something that has taken him very far in his career as a writer, but Pennywise may be his most frightening villain of all time....

Flying is the quintessential superhero power. Images of a conspicuously dressed figure landing fast from the sky and taking off just as spectacularly have been part of our obsession with superheroes forever. Flight lets superheroes swoop in to save the day and travel to fantastic places at speeds we can hardly fathom. Heroes use various methods of flight, and some heroes’ powers of airborne travel are more impressive than others....

While we wait for the next Batman movie to come out starring Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame, let us examine how we got to this point. Because like Superman, Batman’s been played by multiple actors over the years who have given us distinct versions of the same character. Yet almost everyone seems to agree the best actor to play the Caped Crusader was Michael Keaton. Making his debut in the 1989 film Batman directed by Tim Burton, Keaton’s version blew audiences away and continues to be an enduring performance now....

If you’re looking for the perfect task manager, the following list should be helpless. top “ top ” is one of the most popular task managers used for a lot of Linux users. You can use it in any Linux distro, just open a terminal emulator and type “ top ”. I think that “ top ” is a great task manager because it shows you important information like the total number of tasks, CPU usage, ram usage, free ram, swap usage, etc....

Two great things don’t always work well together, but sometimes the combination can be magical. Soda and ice cream, for example, is a real dessert treat, while beer and ice cream is an abomination destroying both flavors. Fortunately, comedy and horror is a solid duo, bringing out the best in both genres. It doesn’t seem like it should work on the surface – laughing from morbid circumstances doesn’t feel appropriate – but something about gratuitous gore and life-ending circumstances elevates the comedy....

The holidays may be over but there are some things (like families) that will haunt us forever. What has haunted the Star Wars fandom (and creator George Lucas most of all) for over forty years was the first sequel Star Wars film ever created. No, it’s not The Empire Strikes Back, it The Star Wars Holiday Special. The special premiered on television in 1978, and Lucas has been trying to destroy copies of it ever since....

If there’s one common feature among many of our favorite Pixar films, it’s the thrilling adventures taken by the characters. From Paris to Paradise, Headquarters to home, there have been many destinations that familiar faces set out for in the twenty plus years since Pixar’s first full-length movie in in 1995. Some had a friend to keep them company (and talk their ear off - we’re looking at you, Dory), and others braved their voyage alone....

Horror movies were plentiful in 2019. Though there were many flops, the good ones outshone the bad by far, and ultimately, gave horror fans a bright outlook on the future of the genre. However, as great as the popular hits were, like Jordan Peele’s Us, Ari Aster’s Midsommar, and Andy Muscietti’s It Chapter 2, there were several great horror movies to come out of 2019 that never really got the recognition they deserved....

Gilmore Girls was all about Lorelai and her daughter Rory, two leading ladies who ate junk food while watching classic flicks, drank copious amounts of coffee, lived in the quaintest and quirkiest little town and had several notable relationships over the years. Some of these relationships were clearly not meant to be. Others seemed too good to be true. And all of them, the good and the bad and everything in between, taught some very valuable lessons to the characters and to viewers, as well....

After so many years of movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has followed dozens of characters and created a universe that reaches every corner of the galaxy. It is inevitable (no pun intended!) that Marvel has made a few mistakes in their films that leave huge question marks for fans, but there are, of course, many that may have slipped past. In the action, excitement and heroism displayed in the movies, it’s easy to overlook the less obvious mistakes, and at the risk of detracting from the flow of the franchise, here are some missteps the MCU has made....

In The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen, volunteers as tribute to save her sister from having to play. Thus begins the story of our heroine, the people that she meets along the way, the friends and family she cares about, and her complicated feelings of being made into a revolutionary figure.
