Given that it’s going to feature a love story as well as some conflict between humans and refugees, who happen to represent Irish mythological characters, it may be a timely cultural comment that also banks on the current revival of myth and magic. It Features The Land Of Tir Na NOg The land of the Irish fairies, Tir na nOg, has been featured in several productions, from the Hellboy franchise to the lush animated feature Song of the Sea, but this will be a much more prominent focus on the land and its people....

Disney is a spectacular company that has been producing films, TV shows, shorts, and even video games for almost an entire century. From Mickey Mouse to classic fairy tales to brand new stories, Disney provides us with wonderful tales enjoyed by many. Perhaps most recognizable are its animated feature films that all began with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. While many of these films have been a huge hit, every company has to release a few duds, and Disney is no exception....

The most beloved video games out there make people feel proud of their skill. They cannot be so hard that the player quits, but they still have to present the illusion of risk and high stakes. Some people, however, really do take pleasure in a virtual world that dishes out the pain, making one all too familiar with the game over screen. The harder the game, the more satisfying it becomes to finally overcome....

Movie remakes, as much as we all complain about them, are not new, nor are they particularly symbolic of a lack of originality. While there have certainly been some ill-conceived retreads over the years, as well as some what’s-the-point shot-for-shot retreads — 1998’s Psycho could be described as both — there are also some cases where the newer product is so much different from the former that it can be considered its own animal....

Though superhero movies are currently a huge hit at the box office, with nearly each movie release breaking some sort of record, they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. Understandably, there are a number of people who simply do no like superhero movies and don’t go to see them. While many people love seeing a super-powered hero flying around with a cape saving the day, there are some people who find the concept too campy or uninteresting....

Earlier this month, we got the first real look at the remake of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and it got some mixed reactions. While some loved seeing Laverne Cox as Dr Frank-N-Furter (and knowing that the original star, Tim Curry, would be back as the criminologist!), others felt that the remake is unnecessary. After all, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! And the original Rocky Horror Picture Show is most definitely not broken....

It’s been a while since Teen Wolf debuted on MTV but the series was a big hit for the network for many years. Since the show ended, MTV hasn’t been able to reproduce another scripted series with the same impact on pop culture. The show was loosely based on the old movie of the same name but added in plenty of horrors to create something brand new. It followed the journey of Scott McCall after he was bitten by a werewolf and his journey to becoming one himself along with fighting evil with his friends....

We honestly feel sad letting Thanos go; the Titan really made an impression upon us these last couple of years as the villain of the Avengers series. Since he’s done and dusted both in-universe and from the franchise, the interest in this character will wane over time for some people—but not us. Those who have been impacted by Thanos the most will forever keep the Titan’s influence close to our chests, and it’s only fitting we celebrate the life he lived in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by sharing these 10 hilarious Thanos memes that only people with the sense of humor of a Titan will understand....

Claymation is arguably one of the most difficult film mediums in history. It requires incredible patience and precision, as each movement from the clay figurines must be photographed and stitched together. Even the slightest wave of the hand or blink of the eyes must be executed perfectly to ensure a seamless viewing experience for audiences. There have been some great claymation films in recent years, one of the most popular being 1993’s The Nightmare Before Christmas and also 1996’s James and the Giant Peach, both produced by Walt Disney Studios....

In the pantheon of movies and making movies, it’s getting harder and harder to come up with completely original ideas that have never been done before. Often times these days, movies are adaptations, sequels, reboots, and remakes. Remakes, however, have been a part of movies since the early days of cinema. Taking an established idea, refining it to make it your own, and putting your own spin on the film. Perhaps using newer technology for effects shots, bringing in new actors to change the film’s atmosphere and vibe....

Before the invention of motion pictures, stage plays were the medium of choice to tell stories to a wide audience. While movies may have surpassed plays in popularity, they are still a big part of our culture and we even see the influence plays have had on movies. While classic work like the plays of William Shakespeare have always been represented on the big screen since the early days of the film industry, there are some great movies you might not know got their starts on the stage....

Regardless of how much you may have loved Naruto, odds are that there are some things that you would have changed about the final season or two or the seasons. It’s equally like that there are just as many changes preferred, if not more, for Boruto. Some fan made theories ended up being better than what was actually provided to us – sadly not an uncommon trend in longstanding series. Here’s a list of some of the most entertaining and well thought out ones....

Over time, Netflix has become not only the leading streaming service platform, but also one of the most significant content creators in Hollywood. Movies, TV series, documentaries, and even reality shows – there’s something for everybody to binge-watch on the service. With studies now showing that Netflix has as many subscribers as cable television, it is no wonder that the company has attracted top talent to join its roster of TV shows and movies....

Premiering in 2017, Star Trek: Discovery, has brought Trek back to television after a long hiatus. After such a long wait, fans were eager to see the next spinoff of the franchise. There was sure to be fans on both sides declaring why it was the worst Trek yet, or something new and exciting. Overall, the show has been extremely well received by both critics and fans, and it deserves the praise....

Robot dogs (we can explain) on iPad Pro My rationale for buying the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro is simple: I’m dissatisfied with the state of multitasking on iPadOS, but this is the best hardware to evaluate current and future software versions. And if iPadOS 15 doesn’t save the day at WWDC, this iPad Pro has some sweet new camera tricks and an all-new mini-LED screen. Cool cameras The 12-megapixel ultra wide camera with Center Stage is, by far, my favorite new feature on the 2021 iPad Pro....

Animation usually gets some slack from the casual filmgoer. Some will deem the medium as simply child’s play, while others won’t even bother watching a piece of brilliant cartooning. But whether it be CG or traditionally hand drawn animation, if the box office numbers are any indicator (hint: they are), most moviegoers can’t get enough of these animated features. While we all know that Disney and DreamWorks rule supreme with animation, the two companies have both seen their fair share of misses....

Considered one of the greatest films of all time, Jaws tells the story of the New England town of Amity plagued by a massive great white shark during peak tourist season. The responsibility falls on the Chief of Police Martin Brody, who teams up with eccentric shark hunter Quint and marine biologist Hooper, to hunt down the shark. When this film was first released in theaters in 1975, it created the blockbuster genre, introduced audiences to director Steven Spielberg, and drove down summer tourism as audiences opted to stay out of the water!...

So, the Lord of the Rings series is very popular. You might have heard of it - it did run away with all the Oscars there were and grossed billions in dollars. With an audience so enormously big, it would have been insane had there not been memes concerning this franchise. Unlike other fandoms, though, The Lord of the Rings fans are rather insane in their fanboyism and consider nothing from the series to be bad....

Celebrity cameos are a classic form of fanservice. When they’re done right, they can make a whole movie better even if the scene only lasts a few minutes. Sometimes celebrities appear for a moment in movies as simply an extra that’s meant to be more of an Easter egg. Other times a celebrity appears as themselves to mentor another character or make fun of their own public persona. There are so many hilarious celebrity movie cameos out there that it’s tough to decide on some of them....

Unfortunately, there are a lot of truly terrible horror films out there in the world. Because they’re so inexpensive to produce and so easy to turn a profit on, there are a ton of horror movies made, and most of them are abysmal and unforgettable. However, there are a few bright, shining stars in the horror movie genre that elevate the reputation of all horror movies. Certain horror films are must-see movies for pretty much anybody, and some horror classics are worth repeat viewings....
