The attractions. The snacks. The costumes. The sounds. The excitement. Yes, there is nothing quite like visiting a circus or a carnival, and these types of places have been entertaining guests for years and years. Whether they are world-renowned or whether they pop up, randomly and secretly, they provide entertainment for one and all. In between our visits to these thrilling spots, we can keep the magic alive by watching circus- and carnival-themed movies!...

Fans will always remember 2019 as the year that Game of Thrones went off the air. It’s hard to look at a new year (and a future) without the epic HBO program. But, as we look back on the year that was and contemplate the year ahead, perhaps we can all learn a little something from the characters we are leaving behind. What resolutions might have meant something to these characters before they ended where they did?...

Netflix’s Dracula has proven to be a divisive adaptation of Bram Stoker’s iconic horror masterpiece. Whatever its pitfalls for fans of the genre, one thing is certain; its a love song to the Prince of Darkness. There are references to every prominent cinematic version of Dracula’s story, from the classic Hammer Studios films of the ’50s and ’60s, to the Francis Ford Coppola’s romantic tragedy of the early ’90s. Whether subtly (Claes Bang channeling Bela Lugosi’s continental charm) or obvious (shot-for-shot replications of Louis Jourdan’s Count Dracula), it honors all those who came before it sporting the cape and fangs....

Ford v Ferrari has been hailed as one of the most crowd-pleasing movies of 2019. It was a surprise hit at the box office and has been nominated for several Oscars, including Best Picture. The film tells the exciting true story of Ford Motor Company’s attempt to best Ferrari in the famed 24-hour race at Le Mans in 1966. With director James Mangold (Logan) behind the camera as well as Matt Damon and Christian Bale as the leads, the film has a lot going for it even if you’re not a car enthusiast....

HBO and Damon Lindelof achieved the impossible and created the best follow-up to Alan Moore’s original Watchmen the world has seen (so far). The season finale concluded the strange, but powerful series with a bang. However, even the most ardent fans have to admit there are a few things about the last episode that don’t make sense. With a show about crime-fighters and beings like Dr. Manhattan, it’s understandable that certain aspects would be confusing....

One of the most clever and dark-humored Netflix Original Series of recent years, Santa Clarita Diet starred Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant as Sheila and Joel Hammond, a husband and wife realtor team who find their lives turned upside down when Sheila suddenly becomes a zombie. With a mounting need to consume human flesh, Joel, his daughter Abby, and their neighbor Eric have to come up with inventive ways to provide her sustenance....

There have been plenty of X-Men movies, but none of them have ever put Jean Grey A.K.A. The Dark Phoenix front and center like this trailer suggests. Even X-Men: The Last Stand made the character a mere pawn within Magneto’s villainous plan. X-Men: Apocalypse teased a comic book accurate version of Jean. Yet that movie still didn’t focus its entire story around her. This new film is clearly much more focused on Jean, and from the trailer, things are looking dark....

There have been some legendary shows that have made the last decade of television and streaming a revelation, and one such example that immediately comes to mind is none other than RuPaul’s Drag Race. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea and we can understand that, but when push comes to shove, we’d argue there isn’t a better show out there on television right now - yes, that’s an almighty big claim....

Pretty Little Liars may have ended in 2017, but that doesn’t mean that we had to completely say goodbye to the Liars. The drama that they were going through while living in Rosewood finally came to a close after seven seasons and we learned the identity of A.D., a huge twist that none of us saw coming. Although the finale may have left a lot of us wanting more from the series and with questions that we didn’t get answers to, it’s time for all of us and for the cast to move on from the show....

It would be no understatement to say that Gemini Man isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. Sure, it’s entertaining enough but not compared to other movies of its genre and the plot, of young Will Smith tying to kill old Will Smith, sounds like something straight from the 1990s. But regardless of what you think about the blockbuster, it’s fair to say that the movie accomplishes something pretty special regarding it’ use of CGI....

As Michael Stripe of R.E.M once sang, “It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.” Well, these movies are about the end of the world, but they are nowhere near fine. We at have scoured the pages of IMDb to try and bring you a definitive list of the worst post-apocalyptic movies ever made. These films are so bad that watching them is sure to drive you mad whether your name is Max or not....

The Terminator franchise is one of many to be getting a reboot soon. James Cameron made two Terminator movies before moving on to other projects. The studio’s attempt at a third installment to continue the story Cameron started failed miserably. The studio’s attempt to go way into the future and tell the story of John Connor’s revolution against the Terminators failed miserably. The studio’s attempt to start from scratch and redo Cameron’s plot points failed miserably....

At 49 years old, actress Julie Bowen has been in the acting game since 1992 when she starred in an episode of Loving. Fast forward almost 30 years, and she’s won a SAG Award, an Emmy Award, and is only picking up traction thanks to her starring role as Claire Dunphy in Modern Family. For many of us Modern Family fans, it’s fun to take a look back and see what other movies and shows our favorite cast members have been apart of....

MTV introduced 16 and Pregnant to the world, and it became the phenomenon known as Teen Mom. Despite the fact that some people were already getting tired of reality TV, Teen Mom became a success and even launched two spin-offs, Teen Mom 2, and Teen Mom 3. Some of the show’s cast members have actually achieved a lot of success, but it gets lost in the middle of the show’s drama....

6 Underground is Michael Bay’s latest blockbuster, starring an ensemble cast led by Ryan Reynolds. Like many of Bay’s other films, it is a big-budget no-brainer with a lot of car chases, explosions, and a mind-numbing plot. It didn’t draw serious critical acclaim but was popular among audiences on Netflix, the platform where it was released. The film deals with a set of six vigilantes with special skills and erased identities, who try to save the world from dictators, drug dealers, and other tyrants....

Everything from the sets to the music, to the gags and laughs, feel like the classic Christmas so many other movies try to emulate....

Immediately following its 1976 release, Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver was hailed as a cinematic triumph. None of the enthusiasm for the intense drama has died down in the more than forty years since, with new generations continually discovering Travis Bickle’s complex anti-hero story. Its influence can still be seen today, especially with the recently released Joker. To celebrate this gritty masterpiece, the following list will present ten lesser-known facts about the making of the movie, from details behind its inception to stories during the production....

In 1988, Die Hard hit theaters and introduced audiences to the everyman hero John McClane for the first time. Not only did it turn Bruce Willis into one of the most bankable action stars of the decade, but the movie also changed the landscape of action movies forever. Modern action movies owe a lot to Die Hard, and the genre would be very different without it. But since it was release during the tail end of the ‘80s, it goes without saying that not everything about McClane’s time in The Nakatomi Plaza aged well....
