The Office gave rise to a lot of popular sitcoms, like the NBC conglomerate consisting of Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn 99, and The Good Place. Though some jokes haven’t aged well, the series still has a lot of quotes and moments that are laugh out loud funny today. Given the amount of Dunder Mifflin swag you can find in any given pop culture store, it’s still beloved in the hearts of the general populace....
Back in 2014, Sony saw its upcoming summer tentpole The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as a sure-fire hit. Executives were hoping that it would clear $1 billion, paving the way for an MCU-style universe of films. They’d already jumped the gun on rushing sequels and spin-offs into development, banking on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 being a hit. However, owing to it being the worst Spidey outing since Spider-Man 3, audiences didn’t turn out for the film and it didn’t do well enough for Sony’s plans to come to fruition....
There are few franchises that have gone through a greater metamorphosis than that of Sir Ridley Scott’s Alien. The original film is considered a horror classic, but as the sequel movies garnered a more and more negative reception, the franchise shifted from space-bound horror to more contemplative prequels, the quality of which fans can’t agree on. Around the time of the prequel trilogy’s release, however, many became excited by the prospect of director Neill Blomkamp of District 9 fame potentially writing and directing the first sequel film in years....
It’s hard to believe now, but before the first Avengers movie hit screens in 2012, it was a risky proposition. The movie was a huge hit, stealing the thunder from the final instalment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, crowding theaters, filling Disney’s coffers, and leaving every other studio scrambling to make their own cinematic universe that could culminate in a crossover movie event. Focusing on financial returns ignores a crucial element of the MCU’s success: every bit of talent is carefully vetted, wooed, and assembled....

When the first season of True Detective debuted on HBO in 2014, it stunned audiences and gave HBO one of its highest season premiere ratings of all time. The anthology series, created by Nic Pizzolatto, stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as a pair of Louisiana State Police officers named Cohle and Hart who investigate the murder of a sex worker named Dora Lange. Spanning decades and incorporating both occult and Southern gothic themes, the entire season was directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga....
Fans of TV drama Dexter tend to get a bad rap because they enjoyed watching a man kill other people for years, with the main character’s motivations not being benevolent in nature, but just because he liked killing. Making this fanbase even weirder is the fact that they tend to find certain dark material comical, which was something the show deviated toward to present us with black comedy. Since this is a niche fanbase rather than completely mainstream, memes are hard to come by....
The remake is not an easy thing to pull off. Besides the innate disdain moviegoers generally have for remakes, there’s the need to appease fans of the original films. Despite contrary belief, though, there is an abundance of good remakes. We cite them all the time when the argument rises. But what about all those movies with remakes that fly under the radar? Are they good? Bad? If people aren’t applauding or complaining about them, do they even exist?...
In 2016, Activision Blizzard finalized their acquisition of King Digital Entertainment, as they wanted ownership over the Candy Crush franchise. Activision Blizzard spent a staggering $5.9 billion dollars on the deal, which immediately made the Candy Crush series into one of the most profitable media franchises of all time, where it is currently valued at $4.96 billion. The simple match-three puzzle gameplay style of the Candy Crush titles has been done in countless other video games in the past....
There are many old horror movies that can terrify you pretty well, but there are also many great modern horror movies that are just as terrifying. Nevertheless, there are also many bad horror movies too. In fact, the horror genre is by far the most unpredictable one. What has stayed consistent though is the abundance of ghosts and other supernatural beings in horror movies. Not all of them are scary though, so here are 10 Most Lovable Ghosts In Horror Movie History....
It’s been more than 30 years since Die Hard first graced theaters and sparked a debate over whether or not it’s a Christmas movie (a debate that continues to rage on to this day). In that time, it has spawned four sequels and its lead character, John McClane, has become the template for all action movie heroes. The movie is endlessly quotable, with fans able to rattle off line after line, and it remains a timeless classic....
Women have certainly been significant contributors to the cinematic corpus of genre films (and to any kind of film of course). Great films by women feature in the action, horror, thriller, and science fiction genres and have gathered many accolades. Nevertheless, they seem to not be getting as much love and attention as those of their male counterparts. Obviously, no one is stating that women should claim all the spotlight, just that they should have equal space under it....
A next-level high school comedy, Superbad stars Jonah Hill and Michael Cera as characters based on teenaged versions of comedian Seth Rogen and his long-time friend/collaborator Evan Goldberg. Directed by Greg Mottola, Superbad was both a critical and theatrical triumph, garnering $168 million during its box-office run and making multiple “Best Of” lists. In the movie, Seth and Evan are about to graduate high school, and they have one thing on their minds: sex....

It’s filled with Pixar-Esque characters (we’re looking at you, Cliff) and unemployed alcoholics who can’t stand their wives (Hi, Norm). The Boston sitcom has everything you could possibly want from a TV series. A brilliant ensemble cast. A bubbling romance. Hilarious cold opens. Ted Danson’s hair. Cheers pretty much has everything going for it. At least, it did, back in the 80s....
Already on its third season, Riverdale started off as “that show” based off the Archie comics, but it’s so much more than that. With an entire roster of fresh faces, the cast of Riverdale has taken over the pop culture scene. Who exactly is Archie Andrews’ KJ Apa? Is Cole Sprouse really as bad-to-the-bone as Jughead Jones? And what about Casey Cott? Does he fancy male attention like Kevin Keller? The fact that fans of the Archie comics get to relive the pages through the TV screen is outstanding, especially with a fresh-faced cast that leaves fans wanting to know more....
After New Line Cinema saw success at the box office with A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, the company continued the series with a third film titled A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Dream Warriors was released on February 27, 1987, and was directed by Chuck Russell. The film sees the return of Heather Langenkamp as Nancy Thompson as well as the introduction of new characters played by Patricia Arquette, Ken Sagoes, Rodney Eastman, Jennifer Rubin, Bradley Gregg, Ira Heiden, and Penelope Sudrow....
When horror movies are billed as “based on a true story” or the ever-popular “inspired by true events,” it’s usually done to simply elicit more audience interest. To put it bluntly, it’s a marketing tactic used to get viewers in seats and eyes on screens. While some events and people portrayed might have occurred or existed at some point, it’s a safe bet that most of the movie’s material is highly exaggerated....
Hollywood is a small town and fame is a bubble. While Tinseltown is an enticing dream factory that regularly churns out most of our favorite flicks and television shows, it’s also a heartless machine, regularly sowing discontent amongst its inhabitants and/or semi-permanent visitors alike. Roger Sterling once had something cutting and characteristically witty to say about the advertising industry: “Half the time this business comes down to, ‘I don’t like that guy....
Dave Franco was once simply known as the younger brother of actor James Franco. But over the last few decades, he’s amassed a pretty serious resume of film and television roles that have given him a name in Hollywood unto himself. He’s had a few starring roles in movies, as well as minor appearances, and been part of some A-list ensemble casts. He’s also done voice work, appeared on television series like Scrubs and 7th Heaven, and in TV shorts....
