Friends concluded its ten-season run in 2004, leaving longtime fans heartbroken to see their favorite show come to an end after one long decade. In 2005, a different New York-based series premiered on CBS. It’s a well-known fact that many former Friends viewers flocked to How I Met Your Mother and its charming, tight-knit cast of lovable characters. HIMYM left a legacy on television that will not soon be forgotten. The series often took on the tone of a dramedy - rather than a typical sitcom - which meant that it managed to tug on fans’ heartstrings even more than Friends had done years before....

Vanilla Sky is a science fiction thriller which was produced in 2001. It is an English adaptation of the Spanish film Open Your Eyes. It has a strong cast, including Penélope Cruz, Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Jason Lee, and Kurt Russel. The movie is a peculiar mixture of romance, fiction and reality warp – and as an artsy, philosophical work, it attracted both criticism and acclaim. It remains one of those movies viewers should watch more than once, just to dig deeper into its subtler meanings....

Despite the nostalgia it evokes nowadays, horror in the 1990s gets a bad rep. Everyone claims it was at a creative standstill until the advent of Wes Craven’s Scream in 1996. Yet anyone who probes deeply into the decade will learn it’s unnecessarily maligned by fans and critics alike. It’s true that horror experienced a renaissance in both the 1970s and the 1980s. The genre was more popular than ever thanks to groundbreaking films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Halloween, and A Nightmare on Elm Street....

Christmas is a holiday for not only good cheer but also good horror. The cold, wintry feeling mixed with dread and scares makes for the most eerie elixir. When we think about why we love Christmas so much, it’s because it simply makes us feel happy. And for a number of people out there, macabre merriment involves homicidal Santa impostors and mischievous creatures that stir. Anyone with a curiosity for the dark side of the holidays has surely found Christmas frights and delights in Silent Night Deadly Night and Gremlins....

The prison genre is an interesting one. A prison movie can be a political statement about the unsustainable prison system, a story about tensions between gangs, a character study that uses imprisonment as an emotional theme – there are all kinds of prison dramas. Frank Darabont’s The Shawshank Redemption, adapted from the Stephen King short story “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption,” is the gold standard for prison movies. In fact, according to IMDb’s ranking, it’s the gold standard for cinema as a whole....

As someone coming from a 15″ MacBook Pro with Retina display, adjusting to the smaller form-factor of the 12″ MacBook takes some getting used to. But as brought out in our post highlighting 10 favorite MacBook features, the effort is worth it. I’ve been using the 2016 MacBook as my primary computer since last week, and I’ve learned a lot about this little machine during my hands-on time.

There are tons and tons of TV shows out there, which means there are tons and tons of made-up siblings that have been introduced over the years. Some of these family members were close, others fought all the time, some are super popular, and some deserve more credit, to be honest. When it comes to the top ones, though, we think the 10 groups and duos that are mentioned down below are the winners....

We saw teardowns of the 2015 MacBook Air and Retina MacBook Pro last month, but now a Feng.com user has provided us with the first teardown of the all-new 12-inch MacBook. Apple heavily touted the internal design of the laptop during its unveil last month and today’s teardown gives us a closer look at what exactly the company had to do in order to make the 12-inch MacBook as small as possible....

In 1977, Roman Polanski returned to the world of filmmaking with Chinatown – a Neo Noir film that follows private eye J.J. Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) when one of his regular jobs explodes into a conspiracy that has the whole of Los Angeles at stake. This dark detective movie has since become one of the genre’s irreplaceable staples, arguably influencing the genre more than the likes of The Maltese Falcon or The Big Sleep could’ve....

The rest of the world is only just now waking up to the awesomeness of Korean dramas, shorted to K-dramas by die-hard early adopters in the west. Turns out it’s not just scary movies that South Korea is really good at making. The actors are beautiful (even the dudes), the storylines are compelling, and the majority of the shows are wrapped up in a season or two, leading to very little audience fatigue....

When you think about the horror genre, one of the biggest chunk of famous films fall in the slasher sub-genre. Whether you’re thinking about Michael Meyers, Ghostface, Freddy Kreuger, or Leatherface, there is something we all love about watching a masked killer run around murdering people in increasingly creative ways. The golden age of slasher movies began in the 1970’s and continued into the ’90s. Since then, we haven’t seen that many new slasher films....

Some sci-fi movies last longer than others because they don’t put a date on the futures that they create. That doesn’t mean they’re better or more classic, just different. The predictions in 1984 are over thirty years behind us now but that doesn’t mean the world discusses the book or the film any less regularly. Perhaps it’s easier to discuss now since that “future” never came to pass, though something similar may still find its way into real life....

If you’ve just gotten Disney+ and are wondering where to start in their immense and impressive library of content, why not start with the film that started it all, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? At the time, the film was a monument to the art of animation, but as for the plot, it’s not exactly Shakespeare. Snow White is still a beautifully animated masterpiece, but it’s a fairy tale that thrives on emotion rather than reason....

Google’s new flagship Pixel XL phone landed in my hands early Monday morning, and I’ve been taking it for a test drive ever since. I’m obviously someone who prefers Apple devices over Google devices, but this phone is so fascinating that I just had to try it.

Don’t let your trailer write checks your movie can’t cash. The studio marketing teams behind some major Hollywood films should consider adopting this mantra. But they probably won’t because their job is to make people look forward to an upcoming film. And if they have to lie to do it, then so be it. Ideally, a trailer is meant to tease, not to mislead. It’s meant to give audiences a tiny bite so they can crave for more....

There’s a lot of nostalgia for the 1980s these days, exemplified in movies and TV shows like It and Stranger Things. The presidency of Ronald Reagan brought on a renewed sense of patriotism and American nationalism that led to John Rambo oiling up his abs and donning a bullet belt. There was also a heavy focus on commercialism, as malls were popping up in every town and being hyped as the hot new hangout spots....

One would think that this kind of job-market frenzy creates a big appeal for a person just entering college or considering a career. Especially since information security is one of the few fields where people get snatched up as soon as they walk out with their certificate or diploma (and often, long before.) Yet there’s hardly an influx of newly-minted security professionals eager to flex their freshly acquired white-hat skills....
