Phew! After a rollercoaster couple of weeks where negotiations broke down between Sony and Marvel and it looked as though Spider-Man would be leaving the MCU on a giant cliffhanger, the two studios finally decided to play nice. Sony has allowed Marvel to make another Spidey solo movie with Tom Holland to wrap up his trilogy and follow on from this year’s Far From Home. Going into Spider-Man 3, what could happen is anyone’s guess, especially knowing that it’ll be leading towards Spidey’s eventual exit from the MCU....

The newest film adaptation of this classic novel was released late in 2019. Directed by Greta Gerwig, this movie is up for a handful of Academy Awards, including Best Picture. While this cast and crew is one that’s pretty hard it ignore, this film was inspiring, stunning, and totally wholesome. For movie-lovers, you might be interested to know everything that went into making this beautiful masterpiece. There are a lot of factors that go into making the final product that hits the big screen, and some of them would never be known to movie-goers....

With four main games released between 2007 and 2017, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s action-adventure series Uncharted continues to be a supremely popular title among Playstation users. Marked by increasingly innovative gameplay and graphics with each new entry, the Uncharted series also tends to become more and more outlandish and unrealistic, leaving players often scratching their heads over some inconsistent parts of the game that do not always add up. As such, Uncharted has not been able to avoid a host of accurate internet memes, many of which amuse while also pointing out factual contradictions and inconsistencies within the venerated gaming franchise....

For eleven years, Married…With Children was destination viewing for plenty of fans. Considering how often the show is part of morning TV reruns in syndication, it’s hard to imagine how “my ready for prime time” the crass Bundys were. The show delivered plenty of great episodes over the years, but there’s also a couple of clunkers in there, too. But for a show as popular as Married, most episodes still have their moments and aren’t rated too terribly amongst fans....

These days, TV lovers are lucky because there are shows from just about every genre. There are shows that are brand new and currently airing new episodes and even a lot of shows that have already ended, so we get to see the entire thing without having to wait for new episodes or wonder what happens next. Among these shows, the horror genre is one that has become really popular and has a wide variety of different shows that fall into this genre....

For a film series made exclusively out of a children’s building block, they really touch on some important points and deliver word-class humor at the same time. On top of all of this, a surprisingly jaw-dropping twist turns the film completely on its head towards the end. Despite the multitude of things that make this 90-minute advertisement into a brilliant film (with three sequels of varying qualities) there are certainly a few elements that don’t make a whole lot of sense....

Some of us ’90s babies may be biased in saying that the best animated Disney movies were the ones we grew up with. From Bambi to The Lion King to Pocahontas—these were our heroes and our most beloved soundtracks. While today’s Disney films like Frozen and Moana are fantastic and modern, they’re just not the same. However, maybe that’s for the better… While these 10 movies below may have been our favorites as kids, rewatching them as adults is rather eye-opening....

After premiering on Lifetime and then being added to Netflix’s vast streaming library, dramatic series You has become a total hit for TV fans. This series is based on a novel series by the same name and the first season, which premiered in fall of 2018, was based on the first book in the series while the second series was loosely adapted from the second novel, Hidden Bodies. Both seasons of the series follow a man named Joe and his obsessive infatuation with someone that he meets while at work....

When a person dies, it can be hard for their loved ones to let go. So to seek closure, they might consult a spirit medium who reputedly communicates with the dead. While there is skepticism about this practice, it has shamanic origins and was popularized in the nineteenth century. Today, spirit mediums remain popular, as reality shows like TLC’s Long Island Medium have brought them into the limelight. Centered around Theresa Caputo, who does readings for different people, she’s not the only spirit medium who has their own show....

For a lot of film fans, the ‘90s was one of the very best decades for films. After all, movies weren’t overly reliant on CGI then as they are now, and we had a kind of subtlety in films that isn’t seen today. However, you’d be wrong to think all films from this era were great. In fact, the last year of the century had a bunch of stinkers that almost everyone has forgotten about, but Rotten Tomatoes never forgets....

Schitt’s Creek is mainly known for being a hilarious comedy with a unique kind of humor. While the show might have a lot of one-liners and over-the-top characters brought to life with great acting, it also has some heartwarming moments. As the series progresses, fans of the show grow to find the Rose family and the other characters endearing. These characters grow and evolve and find out how to be happy and connect with other people....

On a casual first watch, the How I Met Your Mother gang seem like friendship goals - and roommate goals! Marshall, Lily, and Ted have known each other and lived together for years, and they are still best friends. They have the kind of apartment that twenty-something New Yorkers dream of: a huge space with plenty of room for friends and parties (and a phonebooth, and a goat, and…), above a cool bar where they always drink with their friends....

This weekend’s discussion of the Sony a6300 got me thinking about the iPhone’s camera, and how great it can be when wielded properly. Our own Ben Lovejoy shared his tips for taking good iPhone photos a few months ago, and now I’d like to share my 10 go-to tips for snapping better iPhone pictures. Clean your camera lens It seems obvious, but you wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve taken a photo only to realize that my lens was smudged or dirty....

Given the creative, and seemingly boundless premise of The Matrix - a completely constructed virtual world - the potential for a colorful array of interesting villains is endless. And the Wachowski’s live up to this potential throughout this epic trilogy, crafting a variety of rich and distinct villains. Their characteristics, motives, and abilities may be vastly different from one another. They range from machines to human companions to programs that only exist in the virtual realm....

Supergirl is in its fifth season, and while it has always been a part of the Arrowverse, its involvement in that world is now bigger than ever. After the events of “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” the Arrowverse has definite “Pre-Crisis” and “Post-Crisis” eras. Supergirl now finds its characters, city, and organizations on the same Earth as the rest of the Arrowverse. These shows have always provided plenty of storylines and mysteries every season, but now in addition to the ones we normally have, the Post-Crisis world offers even more....

Aside from the obvious language difference, there is something unique about the horror films that come out of Spanish-speaking territories. Countries like Spain and Mexico have especially made their mark in the genre. In recent years, filmmakers from these places have effectively combined elements of their culture with horror. Horror is one genre that is perfect for allegory and metaphor. Which is precisely why so many Spanish-language movies gravitate towards it....

It doesn’t happen too often, but when Adam Sandler stars in a well-acclaimed movie that requires him to give a dramatic performance, he usually delivers. Titles such as Punch Drunk Love, The Meyerowitz Stories, and even Funny People all showcased a side of Sandler we hadn’t seen before. Now cue up Uncut Gems, the gritty new crime thriller from filmmaking brothers Josh and Bennie Safdie. The film stars Sandler as a seedy New York jeweler who gets in way over his head when the opportunity of a lifetime presents itself....

Last Oscar season, Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga took the world by storm with a contemporary remake of A Star is Born. The story is decades old, but it’s timeless. Every generation has its own version of A Star is Born, and thanks to impeccable performances and chemistry from Cooper and Gaga, a script that does interesting things with the now-familiar story structure, and deft, minimalist direction by first-time filmmaker Cooper, this generation’s version is a doozy....

The classic show The Wonder Years was one of those beloved shows about growing up whose cult popularity and fan devotion made it a household name very quickly. It is seen as an utter classic and has held a special place in the hearts of fans years after its conclusion. It focused on a young Kevin Arnold and the people he called his friends and family. Each episode taught valuable lessons to its young audiences about life and love, and for many viewers, it was a gateway to the reality of growing up and moving on....

Despite what some critics say about a lack of originality, Disney has been getting a lot of money through remaking their best animated films into live-action movies. So far they have done The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Dumbo, Christopher Robin, and Maleficent. That’s already a lot but far more are coming and Aladdin is one of them. Disney’s animated Aladdin came out back in 1992 and was a huge hit, winning two Academy Awards, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song for “A Whole New World....
