Perhaps the most famous of all indie studios focused on developing rip-offs of popular films (known as “mockbusters”), The Asylum has been around for over twenty years and thus earned a special brand of notoriety within the film community. Granted, they don’t focus only on mockbusters; most notably, they were also responsible for the Sharknado and 2-Headed Shark Attack franchises (anyone noticing a common theme?), as well as the post-apocalyptic horror-comedy series Z Nation - but they’ll always be known first and foremost for their blatant attempts at cashing in on other Hollywood productions....

Final Cut Pro X 10.3 was released on Thursday, and although I haven’t had much time to play with it, it’s immediately apparent that this is a huge update. In fact, I think Apple did itself a disservice by labeling this a dot release instead of just calling it Final Cut Pro version 11.0. The addition of Touch Bar support for the new MacBook Pros was the headlining feature of Thursday’s announcement, but it’s all of the other enhancements that make Final Cut Pro X 10....

The X-Files has rightfully earned its reputation as an iconic series full of atmospheric horrors and conspiracies. Countless monsters of the week brought creative, often gory threats to the small screen. And a lot of shows distinctly stand on its shoulders, like Fringe and Supernatural. But truthfully, The X-Files had a surprising amount of variety in its storytelling. Occasionally, it would even dip its toe into comedy—from parody and meta humor to outright slapstick....

There are two types of films Walt Disney Pictures is most famous for creating, their full-length motion pictures, and their animated short films. In recent years, we’ve seen somewhat of a resurgence of the medium since the days of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, and we’re honestly quite impressed. With new stories, visuals, and animation techniques, we’ve seen a new breed of Disney cartoons appear in the last decade or so. In response, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite short subjects from the house of mouse....

Geoff Johns has created some of the greatest stories in DC, taking over big names like The Flash, Green Lantern, Justice League, and more. In his latest run, Doomsday Clock, Johns has finally brought in the Watchmen to the main DC universe where all our favorite heroes reside. This crossover has been teased since Flashpoint and now that we finally get to see characters from two worlds collide and in turn create amazing stories....

When it comes to horror classics, Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is bound to be mentioned within the first sentence. It’s a creepy, unnerving, deeply engaging cinematic adaptation of Stephen King’s beloved novel. And, while King himself was not a fan of Kubrick’s film, feeling that it failed to capture the spirit of the book (even comparing the difference between the two works to fire and ice), it is a brilliantly crafted movie....

Update: President Trump has blocked Broadcom’s takeover of Qualcomm, citing national security concerns. Some 13 years after Intel turned down the opportunity to make the CPU for the upcoming iPhone, it is now considering the world’s biggest ever tech acquisition to deal with the threat that decision continues to pose today. In 2005, when Apple was working on the first-generation iPhone to be launched in 2007, Steve Jobs invited Intel to pitch for the CPU business for the planned smartphone....

While DC and Marvel have been building their comic book universes for decades, their cinematic ones are still pretty new. Right at the dawn of the new millennium, Fox kicked off their X-Men universe, with Marvel following suit in 2008 with their more Avengers-centric share continuity. Last but not least, DC finally got going on their extended universe with 2013’s Man of Steel. Since each began, they’ve grown exponentially, with a number of movies planned for the next fews years and plenty of others sketched out beyond that....

Despite their stringent censorship laws, the Chinese love movies. In fact, they are one of the biggest consumers of movies outside of the United States, and their films industry is one of the fastest growing. Because of this, many American studios prioritize Chinese audiences, as a film’s performance there could be the difference between a success or a flop. Studios have even gone as far as to cater to China, which has resulted in many movies taking place there, and even staring major Chinese actors and actresses....

The Lighthouse is one of the most talked-about films of the year and for good reason. The atmospheric horror film is the second feature from Robert Eggers (The Witch) and stars Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe as lighthouse keepers stuck together on a small island. As a storm prevents any relief from the mainland their sanity begins to come undone. The film is engrossing thanks to the two performances, the unique look of the film and the mysterious story....

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is often considered one of the greatest achievements in cinema. Years before The Shining took him to new heights with his creepy, murderous, maniacal portrayal of the real-crazy Jack Torrance, Jack Nicholson was giving life to the fake-crazy (or was he?) Randel McMurphy. Despite the Ken Kasey adaptation being remembered so fondly, there were also bound to be at least a few mistakes hidden away somewhere....

The legendary BBC sci-fi series Doctor Who has been around for 50+ years, inspiring and delighting fans with the adventures of the time-traveling alien known simply as The Doctor, and his/her companions from across the galaxy. Fans of the show - typically known as Whovians - are passionate and dedicated; they write fanfiction, hold conventions and more. But even with this serious love, Whovians are always ready to make jokes about the series....

13 Reasons Why prides itself on tackling difficult issues head on, but its approach has resulted in many controversies. Based on Jay Asher’s novel of the same name, 13 Reasons Why arrived on Netflix in 2017. Its first season told the story of Hannah Baker’s suicide, through a series of flashbacks which detailed the “13 reasons why” she had taken her own life. Those reasons included a culture of bullying and drugs at her school, which resulted in many students making poor decisions and then trying to deal with the regrettable consequences....

The multiverse is coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and with is some powerful Marvel characters. While the MCU teased it in Spider-Man: Far From Home, it turned out to be a misdirection, and the movie just teased fans with something that didn’t end up happening. That all changed with Loki, and now the multiverse is real and threatens the Marvel Universe. It just takes one quick look at the comics to see how dangerous the multiverse is for the world in general....

Walt Disney Pictures rarely has any feature that could be called forgettable. The company has had a majority of the population by the childhood for decades, and definitely won’t be slowing down any time soon. That being said, Disney does have the occasional habit of relying on old classics to keep us entertained. No, we’re not talking about the gauntlet of live-action-remakes on the horizon. We’re talking about the Disney rereleases and reissues of some of its famous features, some of which actually generated more acclaim for said films....
