When it comes to slasher movies, they often have a terrible reputation among horror fans as lowbrow cinema. However, that does not mean that all slasher movies are bad. Outside of the more popular with Jason, Freddy, and Michael Myers, many other slasher movies remain criminally underrated and deserve a lot more eyes on them. The slasher movie has been around for about 50 years now, with many calling Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho the first actual slasher movie....
We are mere weeks away from the return of HBO’s Game of Thrones… but for devoted fans of the series, that may feel like a very, very, long time. In the meantime, though, plenty of fans are scrambling to re-watch the entire series, or (for the uber-devoted) re-read the books… even though the series has now gone on a completely different path to the original A Song Of Ice And Fire....
Christopher Nolan blew moviegoers away back in the summer of 2010 when he unleashed his sci-fi opus Inception. It was a heist movie, but instead of infiltrating a bank vault or a jewelry store to steal some money or diamonds, the characters infiltrated someone’s mind to steal an idea. Inception is one of the most thought-provoking science fiction epics in recent memory, but it was hardly the first work of sci-fi cinema to make its audience think....
This article contains some SPOILERS for Black Mirror, currently available to stream on Netflix. Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror paints a dystopian picture of society’s relationship with technology. Satirical and allegorical tales set in dark fictional future worlds feature characters who’ve become victims of the technology they’re surrounded with, or have an unhealthy obsession with the media. Others are extreme metaphors for a “Tech Apocalypse” that could very well be happening in the present day....
Bram Stoker’s gothic masterpiece, Dracula, is one of the quintessential horror novels that every fan of the genre needs to read. Being the catalyst of the vampire archetype, it’s no surprise that the tale of the infamous count has been adapted into various films and shows, and now Netflix has its own adaptation. The new Netflix series based on Stoker’s novel is certainly selective with its accuracy, but we definitely noticed more than a few book elements in this series not seen in other adaptations....
When every Star Trek series ended, the actors lives kept on going. While many fans know them as Star Trek royalty, some gamers came to know them as the interesting side characters in their favorite RPGs. After all, an actor’s gotta keep acting, right? However, at that place where Trekkies and gamers intersect, there are some really fun moments where someone can hear their favorite Starfleet officer in the middle of their totally unrelated gaming experience....
At its core, The Walking Dead is a show about survival. It takes skill to make it in a post-apocalyptic world, and that is something not everybody has. One of the aspects that makes TWD feel realistic, is the fact that not all of the characters are total warriors. Some of them, in fact, are absolutely lacking in any survival skills. While there are the beloved survivors such as Carol, Michonne, and Daryl, the show also contains highly lovable characters who simply are incapable of surviving in harsh circumstances....

Disney Pixar Animation Studios has brought us dozens of original characters from twenty plus movies over the past several decades, each with their own unique personalities and different traits. We’ve seen clever clownfish, talkative toys, and even rambunctious rats. Each character brings different qualities to the table, and we know that we can count on the creators at Pixar to consistently introduce us to superb individuals. One place where you can also find a vast array of different people is within a country’s capital....
Of all the different Star Trek series, Voyager is one of the most maligned. Whether it’s because the format was different, the crew was non-traditional, or there were simply too many better Star Trek series to choose from, it didn’t always connect with fans. Led by Captain Katherine Janeway, the crew of the USS Voyager spent 75 years trying to return home from the Delta Quadrant, beyond where most Starfleet officers dared go....

With the advent of super popular smash hit shows and films like Game of Thrones and of course Lord of the Rings, high fantasy has managed to transition from a genre of media that had a reputation as being cheesy and lowbrow which has transitioned into one of the most well respected corners of film and television media (and of course, it’s also a cash cow). But, while Lord of the Rings managed to show what high fantasy really could be, they aren’t the only high fantasy films that are worth watching....
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys is a special piece of TV history. The unique, stylized reimagining of the classic hero captured fans imaginations from 1995 to 1999, and spawned the iconic TV series from the same era, Xena: Warrior Princess. The far ranging adventures of Hercules and his sidekick Iolaus were truly epic in the grandest sense of the word. That being said, there are also more than a few things in the series that are a little confusing, some that have only gotten more confusing over time....
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation was a big hit upon its release in 1989, and its impact lasts to this day. It’s a holiday favorite in many homes. Clark (Chevy Chase) is funny as ever as he tries to keep the Christmas spirit in the midst of disaster as one thing after another goes hilariously wrong. Thirty years later, plenty of the storylines are still beloved and relatable, from your wacky relatives to the holidays becoming more stressful than celebratory on some occasions....
Blumhouse Productions has been the mastermind behind many of our favorite horror movies. From Split to Insidious to Get Out, we’re all familiar with and love at least a few of these incredible films. However, it goes without saying that not all of their films can be great. In fact, we all know that some horror movies can be really, really bad. So, with Halloween just around the corner, we thought we’d make a list of the worst (and therefore, most hilarious) horror movies to binge by Blumhouse....
With another year drawing to a close, it is time to look back at the year of films, in terms of its marketing. This year had its fair share of creative campaigns and even great posters that utilized either a simplistic approach or an intricate design. And then, there are those that did not get the memo, when the marketing just failed to be an effective movie poster. Whether by bad Photoshop scheming or by cringe-worthy attempts to get into fads, these movie posters highlight the failed lengths to market themselves....
Star Wars fans went crazy at the latest Star Wars Celebration when the Episode IX trailer premiered and delivered two earth-shattering revelations about the movie: first, that it would be called The Rise of Skywalker, and second, that Emperor Palpatine would be making a reappearance. He could be heard laughing at the end of the trailer, and just for good measure in case fans didn’t put two and two together, Ian McDiarmid emerged and joined the panel, confirming that he would appear in the movie....
We are sure that everyone is as sad as us to find out that Netflix has canceled Santa Clarita Diet, a show that was pretty much unlike anything else on the television at the moment. One of the most annoying things about this cancellation is that the writers clearly put a lot of thought into the way they were going to unfold all of the narrative beats and twists throughout the show’s entirety, but now we’ve been left with loads of questions that will never be answered....
Yesterday, I bought a 12″ MacBook, and after playing with it for 10 minutes, I immediately knew that I made the right decision. 24 hours later, I’m convinced that this is the best laptop for me, and a much better portable workhorse than something like a 12.9″ iPad Pro. Here are 10 reasons why you should consider going with a MacBook if you’re in the market for something powerful, yet portable....
