Part Nancy Drew, part Dawson’s Creek noir, Veronica Mars was a breath of fresh air when it debuted on the now-defunct UPN in 2004. It ran for two seasons on the network before UPN and WB merged to create the CW, where the show had one more season. The series followed the title character while she attended high school in Neptune, a small California town. At one time she was part of the in-crowd, but the murder of her best friend and her father’s fall from grace as the local Sherriff made her the target of harassment at school....

The eighth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise saw Dom and his gang of drag racers turned government agents/assassins/human action figures go up against the villainous Cipher, a female terrorist head who has a strange power over Dom due to holding one of the people from his family hostage. The film is filled with as much of the over the top stunts and repeated assertions as to the importance of family that you have come to expect from the series, but here are 10 other details in the movie that even eagle-eyed fans might have missed....

Some of the best films of all time may be comedies, but sometimes critics are a bit tough on the genre. Sure, these films aren’t masterpieces; however, many have gone on to become highly-quoted cult classics, or at the very least made us giggle from start to finish, exactly as intended. Here are ten hilarious comedies that are rotten on Rotten Tomatoes. Hot Rod (40%) In the summer of 2007, The Lonely Island brought us Hot Rod, a box office bomb that later became a cult favorite....

It’s been 15 years since Adam McKay and Will Ferrell graced the world with Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, a comedy movie that pushed the boat so far out with its sharp focus on decidedly absurdist humor that it harked back to such classics as Airplane! and Blazing Saddles. Then, almost a decade later, they graced the world with a sequel. Comedy sequels very rarely live up to the expectations set by the original, but Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues managed to please both diehard fans and more casual moviegoers....

Released in 1999, The Matrix blew every other Hollywood action movie out of the water. Not only was it brimming with impressive fights and set pieces, but its plot engaged viewers with interesting philosophies and questions to ponder after the credits rolled. While the film dealt with burgeoning technologies like the internet and artificial intelligence, there is one phenomenon not even it could have foreseen—memes. Like any other pop culture staple, the internet has used all its might to craft as many hilarious and ridiculous memes as possible based on the franchise....

Fans can rejoice, for Thor 4 has been confirmed and will be ready for viewing within the next few years. The even better news is that Taika Waititi will be returning to direct, so you can expect the film to stay faithful to the previous material we’ve seen thus far. This naturally raises questions over whether we’ll be having our burning questions be answered. Avengers: Endgame might have largely been the ending to most storylines, but it still didn’t resolve all the queries we had over the MCU....

Stranger Things has been the kind of show that has shaped the success of Netflix’s service. The show was an unexpected hit, and fans keep waiting for newer seasons to be released just after the current season drops by. With this level of fanfare, it was only natural that the cast got the rub, too. Each member of the cast – be it the older ones or the child stars – have become widely followed by Stranger Things fans, although there are still some facts that probably missed you by....

Last week, movie theaters were haunted by The Boy – yet another in a long line of films that plays on the notion that kids can be super creepy. The Boy focuses on a seemingly living doll made to look like a deceased child. There’s no doubt about it: in the right context, kids can be horrifying. And we’re not talking about dirty diapers. There’s something about that contrast between innocence and danger, the appearance of harmlessness from someone who’s actually capable of unspeakable acts....

Netflix started out as a mail-order DVD service in the 1990s and has grown into a popular streaming service, with its own original programming and original movies. It also has co-production deals with many other studios, and, in North America, it can distribute programming from other countries whose programs might not be available in the US and/or Canada. Rotten Tomatoes is a popular site where reviewers can submit reviews for movies and television programs, and fans can also submit their own ratings....

Plus, in addition to writing for a human audience, they are also indirectly writing for the search engines. By implementing the following 13 best practices, digital content writers can create compelling content that boost conversion rates....

Nickelodeon has been hunting for ways to revive their hyper-popular old-school series for a while now. With the announcement of the upcoming NickToons movie, which will include appearances by the characters from some of our favorite NickToons of yesteryear, we wanted to revisit what we loved about those shows. For a lot of us, Nickelodeon was the backdrop of our childhoods. Really, who among us wasn’t dying to get slimed when we were 10 years old?...

Getting a solo movie is a real mark of a character’s success in the MCU. It’s not enough to appear in someone else’s solo movie or an Avengers team-up, because the truly exclusive club of superheroes consists of the ones who have their name in a movie title (characters whose names are already movie titles, like War Machine, notwithstanding). Following the end of Iron Man and Captain America’s arcs in Avengers: Endgame, there’s room in the MCU schedule for some of the more minor characters to get their own solo movies....

Pixar’s Toy Story was a revolutionary contribution to the realm of animation. As the first fully CGI-animated motion picture, it was a gamble and a test of ability just to be brought into existence. Luckily for them, the movie was a monster hit and it changed the studio forever. But it wasn’t without a few bugs. Being the first of any major project doesn’t mean it will always be perfect, and even Toy Story had a few mistakes and limitations upon its first release....

Stanley Kubrick was one of the most influential, innovative filmmakers of all time. He displayed an incredible amount of variety, from sci-fi to war drama, and each film became definitive of the genre. They boast skilled direction, impeccable acting, and befitting creativity that does not contradict the genre—without exception. That degree of excellence is truly rare, but with such range, unprecedented. And yet, all of his films share the characteristic of exploring darker themes, particularly regarding sexuality and moral absence....

When it first premiered back in 2017, Dear White People made waves. The show didn’t even get a chance to be on the air before people started criticizing it left and right. It was only a matter of days until the audience fully internalized the show for what it was - a funny and witty criticism of very serious and very real racial issues that society faces. Dear White People is filled with teachable moments that everyone can and should learn from....

After a film has been out for twenty years, there are certain characteristics about the movie that are somehow different than before it hit the two-decade mark. Hits become classics, flops become forgets, or the movie generally becomes fair game in terms of a reboot or remake being created. Regardless of whether a film was amazing or horrible, it’s only natural that audiences will end up forgetting a few of the movies that they’ve seen throughout their lives, especially when those productions have been around for as long as twenty years....

They say that good things often come in small packages. In the case of Pixar’s truly phenomenal short films, that’s most definitely the case. Since the inception of the production company known as Pixar, dozens of short films have been produced, winning countless awards and inspiring animators and fans all over the world. Whether the short film would later go on to inspire feature films, or whether it exists as a spinoff from an already produced short film, Pixar rarely produces a bad short....
