Binge-watchers across the country mourned the loss of Friends when Netflix took the hit series off of their streaming service at the stroke of midnight, January 1st, 2020. Friends won’t be available on another streaming service for at least another five months, and it’s rumored to be a part of WarnerMedia’s new streaming service, HBO Max, in May. While you wait to relive the Manhattan 20-somethings’ experiences with life, love, and dating, take a good look at some of the times the best-buddy duo Chandler and Joey weren’t terrific friends to each other....

There’s no doubt that CGI and visual effects are one of the defining factors of the current era of cinema. New stories can now be told thanks to this technology, and old stories can be re-told in more photorealistic detail. Deceased actors can be brought back, old actors can be made young again. One of the most interesting parts of CGI, however, is not necessarily when it’s used for spectacle. What makes this particular cinematic technology a phenomenon is when it’s used quite subtly....

Everyone loves a good twist ending. It’s the cherry on top of a good - or even bad - movie. When you’re watching a twist go down live, you tend to be so amazed, you forget to take into account whether or not these twists are worthwhile. Or well-conceived, no less. The horror genre loves its twists, but these revelations and shocking developments can make or break a film. Again, if a plot hole forms because of said twist, then the whole movie might fall apart....

Female directors have been making their mark in Hollywood recently with some amazing feature films. In 2019 we saw the likes of Lulu Wang’s The Farewell, Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart, Jennifer Kent’s The Nightingale and Céline Sciamma’s Portrait of a Lady on Fire to name a few, all of which were highly regarded by critics. We’ll often hear about a great film from a female director in the news, but there are also other, less-regarded films from outstanding female directors that might not have received the same amount of press or may have simply flown under your radar in the years since their release....

The science-fiction genre has been one of the most beloved genres among moviegoers for decades now. From engaging films to entertaining anime to detailed novels — this genre has had no shortage of quality works. It also has had many sub-genres too that made it even more entertaining. One of the coolest tropes in sci-fi movies has to be the alien plot. From evil invader aliens to peaceful aliens, these come in all forms and colors....

If it’s not there, your brand will appear less trustworthy and credible. The goal of this article isn’t to explore the nitty-gritty about what SSL is and how it works, but rather to give you a list of tools that you can use to check if a website has SSL, find out other certificate details, and identify potential certificate errors early....

Of the MCU’s three completed solo trilogies – Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor – Cap’s is the one with the most consistent quality. While Iron Man and Thor only ever starred in one really great standalone movie each, there’s something to love about all of Cap’s movies. The first one is a pulpy World War II adventure that establishes Steve Rogers’ arc, the second one is a visceral spy thriller that challenges his belief system, and the third one is basically an Avengers movie, tearing Earth’s mightiest heroes apart....

Marvel and DC are the two titans of the comics industry. They’ve been in the business since the 1930s, and their impressive roster of titles and heroes has naturally led to endless argument about which is better. One of the biggest lynchpins in the argument is which company is more original. In other words, which has ripped off the most from the other. It’s a classic battle, like Coke vs Pepsi, and much like the Cola Wars, this comics rivalry has seen both sides dip into each other’s ideas....

Bursting onto the scene of any crime or mishap within Central City faster than the speed of light is, of course, everyone’s favorite scarlet speedster, The Flash… or at least one of them.

They might have introduced us to a world of wonderful wizardry and some charming, funny and interesting characters over their eight-film run, but the Harry Potter franchise is far from airtight. There are plot holes in every film. Some of them are passing, confusing things that don’t quite add up, and some are massive storyline exposing zingers that can change how you view the whole series. We’ve collected the ten biggest issues with the first four films in the franchise....

“What’s your favorite scary movie?” 1996’s meta-horror classic Scream influenced generations of scary movie fans. Horror icon Wes Craven revived the slasher genre in the ’90s and beyond with his story about high school student Sidney Prescott and her friends being targeted by a masked, knife-yielding slayer in a thin black cloak. Through four feature films and an anthology TV series, the latter of which updates the killer’s mask, the Scream universe has remained relevant....

With Disney+ now kicked off, the opportunities for a plethora of new stories from various properties to be told has arisen. With the Skywalker saga coming to an end and the development of both an Obi-Wan and Cassian Andor in the process, it is the best time for the franchise to branch out and tell new stories from its characters. With tonnes of characters from both legends and canon, stretching through films, TV shows, books, and comic books, Disney and Lucasfilm are spoilt for choice for who to put at the center of any future TV shows and films....

Aliens provide a different level of horror that clearly separates it from others in the horror genre. While ghosts are a supernatural and magical force of horror, there is always a sense of disbelief that accompanies them. Further, slasher movies are horrifying because of humanity’s own inner demons. Aliens, on the other hand, are an otherworldly fear. Aliens are a distinct possibility and their motives will remain unknown until the day that humans make contact....

Todd Phillips’ Joker is a beautiful and intricate film. The striking cinematography and textured performance by Joaquin Phoenix would be enough to warrant a re-watch, but fans who choose to view the controversial film more than once will be rewarded with a rich set of references to cinema classics, historical events, and, of course, Batman’s many adventures. Here are 10 small details you only notice re-watching Joker 2019. The Film Calls Back To Robert De Niro’s Past Performances Todd Phillip’s film is in explicit conversation with many films of the 1970s but has a special conversation with Martin Scorsese’s classic Taxi Driver and his not-so-classic The King Of Comedy....

It’s hard to believe that Netflix’s Grace and Frankie is heading into its final season. The first six seasons have been filled with ups, downs, tears, and hilarious meltdowns.
