Cinema has been around now for well over a century and audiences all over the globe have been gifted with thousands (at this point, close to half a million) full length films - and out of those 500,000 works of art the American Film Institute has deemed one-hundred of them better than all the others. While narrowing down a list of half a million to a measly one-hundred is undoubtedly a harrowing task, the AFI Top 100 hasn’t been updated since 2007 and we could think of a few films that ought to make a revised edition of the list....

Horror films are at the forefront of our thoughts when we think of amazing twists done in cinema. It all falls into that paranoia that we never truly know what is going on. What if we are the monsters in someone else’s story? What if your neighbor is in a cult? What if the suffering of others is all one big plan by a shadow organization? Movies that are allowed to make its audiences scared are not afraid to explore these questions....

New horror shows come on every year, but one oldie that some people watch yearly is The Munsters: first released in 1964 and starring Fred Gwynne, Al Lewis, Yvonne De Carlo, Butch Patrick, and Beverley Owen/Pat Priest as Herman Munster, Grandpa, Lily Munster, Eddie Munster, and Marilyn Munster respectively. The series was popular for CBS from the get go, but became even more famous through re-runs. The series ran for two years until it was canceled in 1966, resulting in a total of 70 episodes....

During winter, and especially at the time of holidays, it is a great time to watch movies that make us feel good. They warm our hearts along with our hot cocoa by the fireplace. These are films that teach us about the good of humanity. They sometimes have sad scenes, but they have happy moments that make the sad parts all the more meaningful. We see families reunite, bad people become good, and grudges against each other finally put to rest....

Christmas Specials from popular sitcoms usually bring a smile to the faces of fans, but in some cases the episodes are awkward, don’t fit the holiday spirit or are overall poorly written. Regardless of whether one is watching a traditional hallmark movie or a favorite Disney Christmas episode, the feeling that comes when watching it is nothing short of magical. However, the episodes listed below are ones that left audiences confused, frustrated, indifferent, or a mixture of them all....

Friends is often still viewed by many as the greatest sitcom of all-time, and it’s really hard to argue with that distinction on any level. From the characters to the jokes to the storylines and beyond, there wasn’t, and still isn’t, a whole lot to dislike about the show. However, it does need to be said that the final season wasn’t quite the masterpiece we were hoping it would be. Some issues can be put down to the show themselves, but, for the most part, it’s just a case of things fizzling out in addition to the trauma associated with having to say goodbye....

We have previously written about the benefits of having an Instagram Business Profile and how to switch over. One of the best benefits is that you gain access to Instagram Insights, providing you with a range of analytics and performance statistics for the average Instagram user. There are also quite a few Instagram analytics tools available (for those with Business Profiles), and some of these are even free. Free Instagram Analytics Tools for 2023: Brandwatch includes in-depth analytics features....

Pixar has been around for decades, and we’ve loved every movie they’ve produced. From watching toys come alive to watching a boy become a ghost, Pixar has given us some incredible characters with extraordinary stories. We find it easy to become enthralled in the unique worlds they’ve created for us, but for some fans, they believe that there is only one world. The official Pixar Theory was first thought of by Jon Negroni, and it has gained a wide following among fans....

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....

Veronica Mars felt refreshing back in 2004. Not only was the layered, neo-noir storytelling appealing, the series acknowledged pressing social issues which were not on most people’s radars. Other teen dramas back then didn’t dive deeply into topics that actually pertained to teens and college students. Veronica Mars tackled matters that mattered. However, that’s not to say the show always handled these conversations perfectly. For every generation of television, there’s an awareness of how things used to be and how things are now....

The DC Animated Movie Universe really doesn’t get the credit that it deserves. It’s a long-running animated DC Universe filled with over 36 movies as of the time of this writing, with more on the way. It flies quite under the radar, and many aren’t even aware of its existence. Today, we’re going to be paying a bit closer attention to this franchise, and going over ten things the Animated Universe does better than the DCEU....

When the Farrelly brothers started working on a romantic comedy, a lot of their fans might have thought they were going soft. These guys were the first name in gross-out comedy, thanks to the slapstick gags and scatological humor in Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin. They’d become famous for making outrageous movies that pushed the boundaries of political correctness, so it seemed like a shame that they were wasting their talents on a love story....

Netflix is pretty much the best and worst thing to ever happen to society. We can spend hours on there, and it is pretty much what everyone does after work—comes home and gets stuck in. It can seem as if the streaming choices on there are unlimited. People are always looking for the best stuff on there but the truth is, the bad choices are underrated. Netflix has a bunch of movies so utterly terrible that they’re hilariously entertaining to watch, and we’ve rounded up the best ten here....

Like vacationing, watching foreign movies is a great way to learn about other cultures from around the world.

Any ‘90s kids is familiar with the NBC sitcom Saved by the Bell, which aired for four seasons from 1989 to 1993.

Ushering in a whole new generation of school shows, the series left its mark in pop culture, along with some seriously hilarious lines....

These days when people think about J.K. Rowling they often think about all of the changes she has made to Harry Potter canon after the fact. With Pottermore, the Fantastic Beasts movies, and her Twitter, Rowling just can’t stop talking about the franchise and adding and changing things about the canon. However, there were some things that Rowling almost included in the books but ended up cutting out. These moments could have changed the books significantly, but instead, they were put in the bin....

It may not be your cup of tea, which we can wholeheartedly understand, but Dexter remains one of the most popular television shows of its generation. The idea behind it was viewed as risky and the execution was even riskier, but for the most part, fans still praise certain portions of it to this day. We say certain portions because we all know that it went slightly off the side of a cliff towards the end, but in the first season, they were still in the honeymoon period and it was as fresh and interesting as anything we’d ever seen before....
