After a long and exciting seven year run on the CW, it looks like Arrow is set to hang up its cowl and quiver. The show, which spanned an entire DC-Universe on the network called the Arrowverse, is set to end after season eight later this year. The show introduced a darker, more action-packed version of the typically campy hero. With so many heroes, villains, and storylines introduced into the greater Arrowverse from the show, the CW is sure to feel its loss....

With the recent purchase of 20th Century Fox by Disney, the first thing that came to just about everyone’s mind was whether or not the X-Men, whose rights are owned by Fox, would now be able to mingle with the heroes of the MCU. Of course, there is already a lot happening in the MCU, and it might not even be possible to integrate the X-Men. Even Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has said that the inclusion of the X-Men in the MCU is looking fairly unlikely with how much is already going on in that world....

Customers, competitors, campaigns, cultural events—today’s marketers have real-time data on it all and still, 39% say they struggle to demonstrate the value of social across their organizations. Social media is brimming with business, competitive and customer intelligence that’s valuable org-wide, and we’re here to help you prove it. Check out the articles and advice below to harness the power of social data and put it into action. Getting started MIT Professor Erik Brynjolfsson found that data-driven organizations have five to six percent higher output and productivity than their less data-driven counterparts....

Walt Disney World and Disneyland are absolutely the most magical places on earth, and they’re a great way to make a world of memories with your friends and family. That’s all perfectly fine—definitely an idea of which Walt himself would approve—but, sometimes, you need to take some time for yourself. Where better to enjoy yourself than Disney? Though the idea might seem shocking and certain contributors to social media have attempted to shame those who indulge, a solo trip to a Disney park really is the way to go....

Adapted from the Stephen King novel of the same name, Misery is a horror classic. As the story of an author who is saved from a car accident by his biggest fan and nursed back to health, it’s an intriguing two-hander starring a well-matched pair of actors – James Caan as the mild-mannered writer Paul Sheldon and an Oscar-winning Kathy Bates as the sweet-but-sinister Annie Wilkes – whose relationship becomes tenser and tenser throughout the film, slowly building up to a chilling climax....

The X-Files was such a cultural phenomenon that it’s entered our collective understanding of pop-culture. When something is strange, it can be described as an “X-File” anytime. This show tapped into the bitter distrust that coursed through the 90s. But it did so with appealing mysteries, horror, and occasionally comedy. Unfortunately, not every episode is a gem. Given that the series is largely episodic, every new story is like starting from scratch, naturally leading to some missteps....

While this period had a lot of iconic films that were soon embedded in pop culture and public consciousness, this decade also embraced the iconic movie music scores that not only sunk into our ears for a long period of time but also evolved the way the audiences perceive music. This list will look at ten iconic film scores that ingrained in the public mind and moderate use this decade. Just a disclaimer, the list will only look at entire film score soundtracks, not single music pieces....

Christmas. Normally when we hear that word we think of a bright, colorful, and festive season of giving and togetherness. While most of that sentiment can be found in your typical Hallmark or Lifetime special, people often forget that Christmas definitely has a dark side. It’s not all mistletoe and holly for some lovers of the Yuletide season. Sometimes Christmas can be as cold as a dark December chill. And what better way to feel this effect with some films that capture the shadows of the season?...

The Harry Potter series may be set in a magical world far from anything that exists in reality, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have real life lessons. Many of us grew up on these books, and J.K. Rowling made sure to instil some moral values into us that we’d want to follow for the rest of our lives. She did this by having ethical, brave characters, who would often preach their traits and tell others it was the right way to behave....

Since Netflix became a main player in the television landscape, few series on the streaming giant have had quite the same enthusiasm and irreverent humor that the beloved sitcom Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt had. The series followed Ellie Kemper’s Kimmy Schmidt, a cheerful yet childlike young woman who made a life for herself after being freed from the cult she’d been abducted into as a middle school student. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt also featured standout performances from Tituss Burgess as Kimmy’s loud and proud roommate Titus Andromedon; Jane Krakowski as Kimmy’s onetime employer and later friend Jacqueline White; and Carol Kane as Kimmy’s zany, one of a kind landlady Lillian Kaushtupper....

Two years after 10 Cloverfield Lane and ten years after the original Cloverfield, The Cloverfield Paradox was released. This third film in the Cloververse got a surprise trailer during Super Bowl LII and was even available to stream on Netflix after the game. While fans had been dying for another Cloverfield installment, The Cloverfield Paradox got mostly negative reviews from fans and critics. The third film attempted to tie all of the Cloverfield films together by having astronauts accidentally rip a hole in time and space in an attempt to solve an energy crisis....

There are a few directors who are so renowned that moviegoers can’t get enough of their stuff. So, while many film projects come and go from their development slates, because their fans want to know when they can expect their next project, we get to hear about every project they’re involved with in the earliest stages of development. James Cameron, Guillermo del Toro, Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg, and J.J. Abrams are among these directors....

Logan Lucky is one of the most underrated movies of the past few years. The film marked Steven Soderbergh’s retirement in a fantastic manner, proving that the director was going out with a bang rather than with a whimper. While Logan Lucky was a fantastic movie, it is also important to remember that the film was heavily inspired and influenced by the plethora of heist films that came before it, such as the Italian Job and Ocean’s 11....

Going into last month, it wasn’t difficult to guess that films like John Wick: Chapter 2 and The LEGO Batman Movie would build upon the successes of their predecessors. In fact, the latter is currently the year’s highest-grossing domestic release. However, that likely won’t be the case for long, considering the heavy hitters coming to a theater near you in March. With each passing year, the concept of a “summer movie season” is becoming more and more outdated, with studios putting out anticipated franchise installments and big-budget fare all year round....

Because your business’ ability to build a following and convert customers means answering questions backed up by data. For example, which social network deserves the bulk of your time and budget? What are your top-performing pieces of content? What’s the overall impact of your brand’s social presence on your business? On top of answering these questions, according to Sprout’s 2019 Social Index, 63% of marketers are expected to discuss social ROI with their bosses to justify their spending for campaigns....

Even though the Academy Awards are largely considered the most important award show in Hollywood, it doesn’t mean everyone always agrees on the eventual Oscar winners. Just go on social media during any awards season and you will see plenty of debates about the merits of particular films that won over films people thought were overrated. Academy Awards should be seen more as a guidepost for popular, prestigious films, but not necessarily a hard and fast rule declaring the best of the best....

During its run, Community was one of the most consistently funny shows on television. It featured an incredibly versatile and talented cast including Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Ken Jeong, Danny Pudi, and more. Though it never picked up big ratings, Community managed to make it to six seasons but fans know we’re still waiting for the movie. There are a lot of shows, especially comedies, that don’t stand the test of time....

Tony Stark might be the role that Robert Downey Jr. was born to play, but he had a decades-long career before he took up the mantle of Iron Man. While RDJ definitely had many ups and downs in his career and his personal life, he had many standout roles, and some rather hilarious ones, that Marvel fans might not be aware of. If you love Robert Downey Jr. and Tony Stark, you’ll definitely want to check out these films....

Bringing any literary work to the big screen is no easy task. An author may often feel like they can’t trust just anyone to bring their vision to life. So, it makes sense that some authors would follow the old adage of “if you want something done right, do it yourself.” You’d be surprised just how many authors made the transition from page to screen. Some of the greatest films of all time were inspired by literary works, though not all of them had the author’s pen involved in the process....

WARNING: The following article contains major spoilers for Avengers: Endgame, in theaters now.
