Looking past upcoming franchise movies is something of a tradition these days. When the franchise is the X-Men, which arguably kick-started the super hero movie revolution back in 2000, it’s safe to say there’s life in the mutant dog yet. We all know that Professor X’s team of mutant superheroes is set to face off against Apocalypse, the first mutant, in the next entry of the long-running franchise, but there’s still room in the franchise for many villains from the comic book’s past to make an appearance....

Film will always be a subjective medium. What films some people consider classics, others sometimes consider the worst films of all time. There really isn’t a set criteria of what a “Best Picture” should be, but we can all agree that sometimes, the Oscars just don’t get it right. We can usually forgive them on getting Best Acting or Editing wrong, but when it comes to Best Picture, the Academy seems to be off the mark, quite frequently....

Some trailers prove that marketing companies will do just about anything in order to sell a movie. It’s bad enough leaving the theater of one of the most anticipated funny movies to find that the trailer has spoiled all of the good gags, but sometimes previews can mislead audiences entirely, promising an experience that the film just does not deliver. Trailers and television spots are designed to excite viewers about upcoming attractions, but sometimes they can be deceiving for moviegoers....

It can even help you amplify your other marketing channels such as social. With that said, marketers still face a ton of challenges in their email marketing efforts. One of these key challenges is simply the amount of time it takes to create a great looking email from scratch. Without efficient tools, marketers may end up spending a lot of time creating and sending out emails that don’t exactly look stunning....

Jordan Peele’s Us was a phenomenal success, both at the box office, where it grossed $255 million worldwide and in critical reception, the film has a very high rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Get Out, which was Jordan Peele’s first crack at horror, hit theatres in 2017. The film went on to be a massive hit and received the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2018. It was a popular opinion among horror fanatics, that Get Out would be a tough masterpiece to follow up, a daunting task for Jordan Peele....

While some people say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, a poster provides necessary insight into the tone, subject matter, and quality of a movie. As a true entryway into what to expect from a flick, movie posters are an important artifact for cinephiles. Science fiction films, it turns out, have produced some of the most hilarious and visually entertaining posters as a result of brazen marketing efforts....

Fans know to always be on the hunt for easter eggs or hidden references, especially as shared movie universes become more and more popular. But who says the fun has to stop when the movie does? Whether they change the message, offer a laugh, or tease something to come, these post-credits scenes are a must-watch for movie buffs. Here are Screen Rant’s 10 Post-Credits Movie Scenes You Probably Missed. Kill Bill Quentin Tarantino is famous for putting extra work into his end credits, like saving the Bride’s actual name - Beatrix Kiddo - until the end credits of Kill Bill: Vol 2....

Hannah Montana premiered in 2006, taking the world by storm and rocketing a young Miley Cyrus to fame overnight. It had an array of characters of all different personalities that shared great chemistry with one another. As per most Disney shows, especially for the 2000s, there were always unbelievable storylines, yet they always made us laugh. Miley would often find herself caught between her two worlds as a normal teenager by day and famous pop star by night, but always learned lessons from her family, her friends, her fans, or herself....

With Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justicejust around the corner, many fans are excited to finally lay their eyes on the film, while others are more skeptical after several of the trailers were released and seemingly revealed many of the film’s plot twists. This film has already been subject to an array of criticism that is sometimes harsh and other times valid, but there are still plenty of reasons to be excited about this highly anticipated film....

Taylor Swift’s new documentary has provided an intimate, humorous, emotional, and vulnerable look into her life over the past few decades- focusing primarily on the past few years. But what fans did not expect was for the personal life of one of the biggest pop-stars on the planet to be so relatable. Today, we will be exploring some of the most relatable moments from this beautiful and thought-provoking documentary and how these moments made us laugh, cry, and feel validated in our own struggles....

Yet another season of 90 Day Fiancé has come to a close, but even though the show is through with us, we are not through with it. Of course, you can only re-watch a series so many times before it becomes repetitive (and, in the words of our now ex-therapist, “obsessive and unhealthy”). What we need is a bunch of other great yet similar shows to fill the gaping hole in our reality TV show-loving heart....

Across six shows (yes, we’re counting Black Lightning now that it’s in the crossover) the Arrowverse has given us some of TV’s best heroes. However, we all know none of those heroes would be anything without tech support back at their headquarters. Frankly, none of them even knew what to do until their smart friends showed up. Whether it’s making suits and equipment, or hacking super difficult, top secret computer systems in the nick of time, the real MVPs of the Arrowverse are its geniuses....

Even though most of us will have a hard time believing it or recalling it, there was a time when CGI really wasn’t a thing. It’s not like that stopped directors and producers from making high-quality films. However, when it comes down to fantasy movies, it sure does help to have some besides puppets, strings, and your imagination. When used poorly, CGI can completely destroy a movie. It doesn’t really matter how big of a budget you have, if you go overboard with the special effects, you can wave those stellar critics goodbye....

These days, savvy phishers have buried the dead relative scheme in favor of urgent business messages or cybersecurity warnings. According to a recent ZDNet article, “The most common subject lines used in phishing emails targeting businesses show how cybercriminals are exploiting urgency, personalisation and pressure in order to trick victims into clicking on malicious links, downloading malware or otherwise surrendering confidential or sensitive corporate information.” In other words, criminals create a false sense of urgency to trick your staff into clicking before they think....

As with most types of inbound marketing, firms have begun to develop tools and platforms to make social commerce easier for both buyers and sellers. These provide solutions to brands looking for ways to make social promotions and sell through social media. The social commerce platforms also make the social shopping experience more user-friendly and palatable for consumers. Top 12 Social Commerce Platforms: What are the Benefits of Social Commerce?...

Video game tie-ins have existed for almost as long as the medium itself. If there’s a successful movie series or franchise, the chances are that there will have been a video game made of it to cynically cash in on the name. Despite having a reputation for being mostly terrible, due to the rushed development time it takes to capitalize on a film’s release, these tie-ins still had major selling power....

The visual effects techniques used in filmmaking are evolving at an astronomical rate – so much so that it’s even possible to “resurrect” deceased actors. Understandably, this has opened up a debate about the ethics involved with using a performer’s likeness once they’ve passed away. Sure, using digital effects to complete a few missing scenes when an actor meets their maker mid-way through production seems above board – but what about featuring actors in new movies long after they’ve shuffled off this mortal coil?...

Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts are two cinematic aspects of the Wizarding World, that have come from the talented mind of children’s author, J.K. Rowling. This movie universe will continue over the next few years as the Beasts franchise wraps up. There’s plenty of other characters that could receive spin-offs though. Much like Newt Scamander, there are some characters from the lore of Harry Potter or even the other books and films themselves, that could have a solo franchise....

Since its rise in the mid-90s, reality TV has been a pop cultural cornerstone. The actual merits of reality TV (if they exist) and the appropriate real-to-scripted ratio of content that should carry the label are unclear. What isn’t unclear is the fact that for every “good” reality TV show, there are ten or so crazy ones that crop up. Below are ten of the most bizarre and insane that ever existed....

In 2019, The Irishman made a huge splash on Netflix, largely thanks to the weighty chemistry between lead actors Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. But that wasn’t the first time these acting titans shared the screen together. Heat is considered to be one of the greatest crime films of all time. The Michael Mann classic brilliantly and epically details the lives of those on opposite sides of the law who are put on a collision course with each other....
