Mean Girls descended on cinemas on April 30, 2004. Fifteen years later, it’s still a touchstone of popular culture....

When it comes to power scaling, the twenty-something Power Rangers teams are hard to rank. For one, they have many different types of power sources they use, ranging anywhere from man-made technology from the year 3000 that opens time portals to mystic coins that summon the spirit of ancient ninja animal spirits for protection. Most people will argue that, since the Power Rangers franchise doesn’t stand up to scrutiny since it’s so absurd, inconsistent, and nonsensical, accurately ranking any teams’ power over the other is a futile effort best saved for playground debates....
The horror genre seemed to have veered into a newer way of presenting movies by the start of this decade, until The Conjuring came about.

Whereas a good twist can leave fans craving more, a stinker has the potential to bring a show to its knees with a thud....

`Game Of Thrones, both the show and the book series its based on, are extremely character-driven. The strong point when it comes to the creation of George R.R. Martin’s world is that he writes very complex characters, and it takes a while to get to know them.

When ranking cinematic werewolves, we take into consideration their greatest asset — pure power....
