Reviews are in and Pokémon Detective Pikachu is a hit. The film features adorable CGI, hilarious dialogue, and a fun plot that, while not particularly meaningful or incredibly written, is still enjoyable for all ages. Even if you didn’t have Pokémon fever following all previous incarnations of the characters, you might after watching this film. Fortunately, there are other Pokémon movies in the works, and while none of them are set in stone yet, fans are already speculating about what future movies will have in store....

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is continuing to take the box office by storm and is rounding out the latest trilogy of Star Wars movies. Across these three sequel films, we’ve seen old favorites return and new characters brought into the mix. What’s surprising is that some very iconic characters, as well as individuals that fans have loved to watch from the wider canon, did not appear in these films....

Friends concluded its ten-season run in 2004, leaving longtime fans heartbroken to see their favorite show come to an end after one long decade. In 2005, a different New York-based series premiered on CBS. It’s a well-known fact that many former Friends viewers flocked to How I Met Your Mother and its charming, tight-knit cast of lovable characters. HIMYM left a legacy on television that will not soon be forgotten. The series often took on the tone of a dramedy - rather than a typical sitcom - which meant that it managed to tug on fans’ heartstrings even more than Friends had done years before....

Vanilla Sky is a science fiction thriller which was produced in 2001. It is an English adaptation of the Spanish film Open Your Eyes. It has a strong cast, including Penélope Cruz, Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Jason Lee, and Kurt Russel. The movie is a peculiar mixture of romance, fiction and reality warp – and as an artsy, philosophical work, it attracted both criticism and acclaim. It remains one of those movies viewers should watch more than once, just to dig deeper into its subtler meanings....

Despite the nostalgia it evokes nowadays, horror in the 1990s gets a bad rep. Everyone claims it was at a creative standstill until the advent of Wes Craven’s Scream in 1996. Yet anyone who probes deeply into the decade will learn it’s unnecessarily maligned by fans and critics alike. It’s true that horror experienced a renaissance in both the 1970s and the 1980s. The genre was more popular than ever thanks to groundbreaking films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Halloween, and A Nightmare on Elm Street....

There are plenty of unspoken rules for remaking a classic (or not so classic) movie, and one of them is that you need to wait an appropriate amount of time. You wouldn’t expect to see a remake tomorrow of a film that came out in the ’90s; the generational gap just isn’t wide enough yet. Action films have a distinguishing aesthetic feel that changes with each passing decade. In ‘90s action movies, for instance, there’s a quick, punchy pace to each fight scene’s choreography that heightens suspense....

In 1997, spurred by the uptick in comic book adaptations, Hollywood was on the prowl for the next superhero sensation. With first time director Mark A.Z. Dippé signed on to direct, New Line Cinema released Spawn, a hellacious fantasy from creator Todd McFarlane that was both a contemplation and satire of religious topics. Layered in tales of revenge and bloody vigilante justice, the character grew in popularity during the height of the comic book speculator boom, but it was the virtuoso special effects and John Leguizamo’s psychopathic portrayal as the overweight Violator that has truly been burned into our memories....

These days, Hollywood has a reputation for being obsessed with sequels. Indeed, if you look at the upcoming slate of films, 2020 is filled with sequels to established films. But while there is a perception that any film that is a hit or successful will get a sequel is not always true. If you look at the comedy genre, you can see that sequels are not unheard of. Sometimes they can be worthy follow-ups and sometimes they can actually diminish the joy of the original film....

While many stage musicals have eventually found their way to the big screen with both failures (Cats) and successes (not Cats), movies have sneakily been making their way into live-theater as well. While some films such as Rocky Horror Picture Show and Hairspray were obvious choices to take to the stage, there are many movies that make the jump much more surprisingly. Here are ten movies in particular that come off as odd choices for live performance....

Hugh Jackman is one of the most versatile actors working today. Obviously, Jackman will forever be remembered for his iconic role as Wolverine in the X-Men franchise, which he played a record-breaking eight times on film. However, Jackman is also known as being an amazing song and dance man which he has displayed in films like Les Misérables and The Greatest Showman. Along with amazing turns in dramas like The Prestige and Prisoners, Jackman has an impressive resume to date....

Christmas is a holiday for not only good cheer but also good horror. The cold, wintry feeling mixed with dread and scares makes for the most eerie elixir. When we think about why we love Christmas so much, it’s because it simply makes us feel happy. And for a number of people out there, macabre merriment involves homicidal Santa impostors and mischievous creatures that stir. Anyone with a curiosity for the dark side of the holidays has surely found Christmas frights and delights in Silent Night Deadly Night and Gremlins....

The prison genre is an interesting one. A prison movie can be a political statement about the unsustainable prison system, a story about tensions between gangs, a character study that uses imprisonment as an emotional theme – there are all kinds of prison dramas. Frank Darabont’s The Shawshank Redemption, adapted from the Stephen King short story “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption,” is the gold standard for prison movies. In fact, according to IMDb’s ranking, it’s the gold standard for cinema as a whole....

With the first trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home just released, excitement for the film is at an all-time high. One of the standout elements of that first footage is Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio, one of Spider-Man’s classic foes from the comics. We’ve already seen some of Spider-Man’s most iconic villains brought to the big screen in previous films, such as Doctor Octopus, The Lizard, and a few Green Goblins. However, Mysterio is one of the most exciting bad guys to get the live action treatment....

There are tons and tons of TV shows out there, which means there are tons and tons of made-up siblings that have been introduced over the years. Some of these family members were close, others fought all the time, some are super popular, and some deserve more credit, to be honest. When it comes to the top ones, though, we think the 10 groups and duos that are mentioned down below are the winners....

Summer is nearly upon us, and for some, that means summer vacation. For others, it means remembering when you used to have summer vacation. Either way, summer is a time when we would like to take a break and hopefully travel. You have worked hard this year, endured snowstorms and rainy days, and still went to work like a pro. The last thing you want to do now is walk to work sweating in the scorching heat, when you could use some precious vacation days to lie on a beach and glisten....

We saw teardowns of the 2015 MacBook Air and Retina MacBook Pro last month, but now a Feng.com user has provided us with the first teardown of the all-new 12-inch MacBook. Apple heavily touted the internal design of the laptop during its unveil last month and today’s teardown gives us a closer look at what exactly the company had to do in order to make the 12-inch MacBook as small as possible....

If you thought the first season of 13 Reasons Why was shocking, and were taken aback by some of the scenes and happenings in season 2, season 3, which was released on August 23, takes things to a different level. With each episode of the season serving as a whodunit as the group of high-schoolers, parents, teachers, and law enforcement try to figure out who killed Bryce Walker, the story is full of twists, turns, and side stories that leave viewers itching to watch the next episode after each one is done....

There has been a lot of controversy circling the recently debuted self-titled Joker film. The story stars Joaquin Phoenix and is an origin tale of a man called Arthur Fleck, who eventually turns into Gotham City’s most famous villain. Despite the differing opinions of this tale, it seems to be doing well, almost hitting the $1 billion mark at the box office. Even before the film hit theaters on October 4th, 2019, cosplayers around the world have been quick to replicate the new Joker facade....
