Joss Whedon’s Buffy The Vampire Slayer television series ran from 1997 to 2003, and it made household names out of the main cast. Okay, so maybe not household, but the show has enough of a cult following that the stars of the series have become well known in geek circles. What sometimes gets forgotten is the number of amazing cameos and guest starring roles that happened during the show’s run. A number of big name actors made a stop in Sunnydale over the seven seasons, and some of them are a bit surprising....

Everyone loves a little fourth wall breaking from time to time, when characters in the movie turn to the camera and address us directly. As audience members, it makes us feel smart, like we’re privy to an inside joke. And it offers filmmakers a lot of possibilities, both as a comedic device and a tool to advance the story. Still, it’s a challenge for filmmakers, because it risks breaking the audience out of the narrative by reminding them they’re watching a movie....

Tim Cook’s embarrassment at the Super Bowl seems a timely opportunity to put together something that’s been on my to-do list for a while now: a quick guide to getting the best results from your iPhone’s camera. As a keen photographer, I’ve been amazed just how far cameras have come in the past few years. Where I once used to carry a compact camera with me everywhere just in case, my iPhone has for several years now been my ‘always on me’ camera (currently the iPhone 6s)....

Since its first season premiered last year, it was bound to develop a cult status of sorts. Apart from brutal violence and dark satirical takes on the superhero genre, the show has also been noted for its offbeat humor. If you’re a fan of The Boys, here are some of the best memes related to the show that would make you chuckle. Updated October 18th, 2020 by Christopher Fain: With season two of The Boys complete, the meme community has plenty of new content to riff on....

Filter search results by date Let’s say you’re researching and only want to find results from the past five years.

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas set out to give American cinema its own James Bond with the Indiana Jones franchise, and with a collection of pulpy, action-packed, globetrotting cinematic adventures, they’ve done just that. (By design, there isn’t a single entry on this list from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, because that movie’s overuse of CGI effects meant that its action scenes didn’t hold a candle to that of the original trilogy....

From the classic celebrities that have been around for years to the rising stars that are growing in popularity, the world is full of talented and entertaining actors. And while everyone has their favorite celeb and movie and television show, it can be fun to look back in time. That being said, this list will take a walk down memory lane. It will focus on 10 major actors and show how they looked in their first big roles back in the day compared to how they are and how they look now!...

Avengers: Infinity War promised to be the culmination of every MCU movie that preceded it, and in many ways, it was. It brought all the characters together in the same movie at last – the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, Black Panther etc. – but we wouldn’t get the true culmination until a year later in Avengers: Endgame. That was the movie that truly ended the story and led to some (probably) permanent character deaths: one celebrated death, one controversial death, and one really, really sad death....

Dickinson launched alongside Apple TV+ at the beginning of the month. The description mentioned that it would be a modern take on the life of the great American poet Emily Dickinson. It is much more than a modern take on a person’s life. Rather the show is about the external representation of Dickinson’s poetry and casts her as a feminist icon in her own moment, finding ways to directly and overtly protest the patriarchy, not in the subtle ways that appear in her work, a vast majority of which were not published until years after her death....

South Korea is no slouch when it comes to horror. The amount of scary movies the country has amassed since the great boom in the 2000s is downright astounding. It was during that time that various Asian countries were all but competing to see whose movies could frighten people the most. In terms of diversity, though, Korean horror has other places beat. At its disposal, “K-horror” boasts ghost stories, vicious slashers, psychological horror, and so much more besides....

With some of the most iconic shots in any film ever, The Shining stands atop the pantheon is great horror thrillers, even if original author Stephen King doesn’t agree. Right from the very opening theme and credits, there is a sense of mounting tension, dread, and fear that never goes away. Every scene is fraught with it. As with all of his movies, whether you like his movies or not, director Stanley Kubrick just knows how to make movies....

Walt Disney Pictures will always be the magical animation powerhouse we all know and love, no doubt whatsoever about that. But that doesn’t mean they’re incapable of creating memorable live-action features as well. We’re all familiar with flicks like Mary Poppins, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Parent Trap, but there are still those that fly under the radar. Disney has produced several great live-action flicks that both kids and adults can enjoy, but let’s face it, their animated flicks are just more popular....

While both Marvel and DC are taking over TV right now (Arrow, The Flash, Gotham, Supergirl, Agents of SHIELD, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, etc., etc.), there is one set of superheroes noticeably absent from the small screen. The X-Men have yet to make an appearance, suggesting that Fox is concentrating on the film side of the franchise for the time being. However, with so many amazing X-Men characters available, it wouldn’t be surprising if we started to see some TV series to expand the X-Men universe further....

The MCU is responsible for so many awesome moments across its 22-movie run. And while they are viewing experiences that fans can continually return to, Disney is the master at maximizing its film properties whether it’s through merchandise, product tie ins or attractions and rides at any number of its worldwide parks. The just-opened Galaxy’s Edge, a themed land based on Star Wars is a great example of how the media giant can do this to great effect....

As arguably the most anticipated film of all-time, Star Wars: The Force Awakens was analyzed under a microscope every step of its journey to the big screen. Fans followed the rumor mill on a daily basis and broke down each frame from the trailers as they counted down the days to its release. With all the headlines the movie made, it would seem like everything about it is common knowledge, but that is hardly the case....

Let’s not kid ourselves: Street Fighter (1994) is bad. At best, it feels like an overblown Saturday Morning Cartoon come to life and at worst, it reinforces the argument that Hollywood should stop trying to adapt video games into cinema. And yet, Street Fighter is still celebrated as one of the greatest guilty pleasures ever made. Even with the popularity of the games behind it, Street Fighter is the perfect example of a guilty pleasure, whose faults come off as more charming than infuriating....

Fans who have taken a look at the family trees in Harry Potter, may have noticed that there are a lot of families tied to one another. It’s not too surprising, considering how much effort would have had to go into keeping the pure bloodline exactly that. Even the families that don’t necessarily care about pureblood status have some unexpected connections, though they may regret having them. Some of these connections are well known, while others are less frequently talked about....

The end of this month brings us the 2016 Academy Awards – a night that is sure to be full of glitz and glamor as the stars come out for the biggest award ceremony of them all. However, it won’t be without controversy – this year, there has been furor around the lack of minority nominations, with the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite trending, and many black stars boycotting the event. Last year was also not without controversy – when Patrica Arquette accepted her award for Boyhood, she eschewed the traditional speech in favor of one that drew attention to the wage gap in Hollywood....
