At one point in the history of American cinema, Westerns reigned supreme. They were as plentiful and eagerly anticipated as the superhero films of today. Unlike superhero films however, they didn’t have copious amounts of CGI to move their storylines forward. Even now, the occasional Western that gets released has very limited CGI precisely because audiences watch Westerns for their “authentic” portrayal of frontier life. That being said, CGI allows for Westerns to reconsider the aspects of the genre that may be unsafe for performers and animals, such as stunts done on horseback....

Though Walt Disney and his team were champions in their field, everyone has to start out somewhere, and these strange and stupendous features are animated examples of how far the field has come since the days of pen and paper....

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....

The Tick The Tick follows the titular superhero as he combats crime and tries to figure out who the mastermind is behind all of the crime.

The Walking Dead saga, including the comics, has been ongoing since way back in 2003, which gives you a pretty good idea as to how loyal some of the franchise’s biggest fans are.

Both Ghostbusters films are undoubtedly classics, but one thing that ages them terribly is Annie Potts’s role....

For a director full of heart, Martin Scorsese sure knows how to make movies about heartless people. His films are loaded with theft, beatings, torture, and murder.

With the month of October comes the celebration of Halloween, a holiday that rivals Christmas in popularity though for different reasons. Instead of celebrating togetherness and peace on Earth, Halloween is all about embracing the horrors of myth and fiction for the sake of entertainment.
