Jonathan Demme’s The Silence Of The Lambs is a rare film. The movie is loved by both critics and paying audiences, unabashedly a genre piece but still regarded as a serious film - and the adaptation of a popular novel that can stand alongside the original book, though Thomas Harris’ novels have had many well-received adaptations. The movie is a great watch but had to leave some very interesting things on the chopping block....

Several networks have shifted into what is now the ever-popular CW - a hub of drama, superhero intrigue and some of the most outrageous yet compelling teen scenarios ever on television. Plot twists are as common on the network as teen-drama couples, but they’re not always for the good of the show. In fact, some plot twists are so detested that they hurt TV shows, resulting in lower ratings, fan complaints, and sometimes even downward spirals that were hard to recover from, if not impossible....

With rumors that The Force Awakens star Daisy Ridley was in the running to play Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot (although the part eventually went to Alicia Vikander), and John Boyega joining the cast of Pacific Rim 2, the world is left with the question: What other actors from Star Wars could take on a fan-favorite role or two? Could we see Harrison Ford in another major adventure franchise, or should Adam Driver take on another villainous role?...

The original Ice Age still holds up as a heartfelt, creative family comedy. Despite its sequels, which gradually abandoned any sense of realism, and transformed into kids’ movies rather than family movies. Still, an entire generation grew up on these, and there are truly genuine fans. Besides, the original characters remain consistently true to themselves, no matter the new additions or waning stories. The first film generates a lot of investment, and there are gems of slick comedy scattered throughout the series....

However, passwords can also introduce security vulnerabilities. Password crackers are designed to take credential data stolen in a data breach or other hack and extract passwords from it. Note: See our article, How to crack a password, for a walkthrough of some basic cracking methods. What is password cracking? A well-designed password-based authentication system doesn’t store a user’s actual password. This would make it far too easy for a hacker or a malicious insider to gain access to all of the user accounts on the system....

For those who are fans of Spinning Out, and shows that focus on mental illness, period, there are plenty more where that came from....

Chow Yun-Fat made a successful transition from Asian action cinema to the Hollywood scene with 1998’s The Replacement Killers, teaming him up with actress Mira Sorvino.

Cracking open a zombie novel is just like digging blindly into a bag of jelly beans. Sometimes you get Black Licorice, or Tabasco, or Expired Yogurt. In other words, these “books” can be quite terrible. They sit half-read in your Nook queue or find themselves relegated to the bargain bin at your local bookstore, and for good reason. But as with jelly beans, not all zombie fiction is created equal. Hiding somewhere in that bag are the Blue Raspberrys, the Cotton Candys, the Bubblegums....

Even though The Legend of Korra – the sequel to the massively popular Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender – has always been overshadowed by the success of its predecessor, it still does a lot to expand the Avatar canon. It has also been criticized for not being as awesome as the original, though that may just be because A:TLA was too good to top. It did, admittedly, have its problems, as anyone who’s seen the original would be able to make out....

John Carpenter forever changed the face of horror movies when he made the low-budget flick Halloween in 1978. His masked menace, Michael Myers, who kills his sister as a child and then escapes an insane asylum as an adult to continue amassing bodies on Halloween, has become one of the most popular, as well as the most revisited, horror movie villains.

Revenge of the Nerds was a popular movie quadrilogy of the 1980s, and one of the immediate choices considered when people list their favorite movies from the college fraternity comedy genre alongside such classics as Animal House and Porky’s. The Revenge of the Nerds franchise is nearly 4 decades old; four movies and a profound, indelible mark on fraternity culture later, it is time to revisit what had made the original movie such a successful blockbuster at the peak of its popularity, and why it may not have necessarily aged as well as some other title in the college movie genre....

In 1968 Dr. Richard Hornberger and W.C. Heinz published MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors under the name Richard Hooker (no relation to TJ Hooker), detailing the live’s of surgeons during the Korean War. When not operating on injured soldiers, the characters alleviated their extreme boredom through pranks and hijinks that would have landed them in jail if they weren’t all such talented doctors. In 1970, a feature film adaptation of the book came out, directed by Robert Altman and starring Donald Sutherland and Elliot Gould....
