Alien invasions have been a longstanding tradition in the science-fiction genre. The concept gained traction in the fifties, during a time of drive-ins about radiated monsters and the like. But ultimately, alien invasion stories tap into humanity’s innate fear of the “other”, standing in for any generation’s paranoia. As such, it can be really fascinating to reflect on the exceptions. Without emphasizing spectacle, such films can explore our relationships and communication with the “other”—or even with Earth itself....

Going into El Camino, the new spin-off movie from Breaking Bad, most fans just wanted to see how it would justify its own existence. It told the story of what happened to Jesse following the events of “Felina,” Breaking Bad’s series finale. Jesse got a happy ending in the finale, but he wasn’t out of the woods yet, so Vince Gilligan made a movie to explain what happened next. And it was so beautifully shot and gave such a heartfelt send-off to a beloved icon that it more than justified its existence....

The Shawshank Redemption is one of the most well-known and beloved movies ever made. Although it was under-appreciated at the time of its initial release (it was a box office bomb and didn’t win even one of the seven Academy awards it was nominated for), it has gone on to become one of the most universally-admired movies of all time. Anyone who owns a TV and has cable has probably seen The Shawshank Redemption at least once (if not half a dozen times or more)....

Sci-fi comedy animation Futurama is often seen as the underrated sibling of The Simpsons. Also created by Matt Groening the show ran for 7 seasons, following the adventures of frozen in time pizza delivery boy Fry and the quirky crew of the Planet Express delivery ship. Its humor is more adult in places and it’s setting much quirkier. While it didn’t gain the huge following The Simpsons has, Futurama holds a special place in many fans’ hearts....

TechInAsia reports that Chinese buyers are buying from China Unicom rather than Apple as the carrier offers both iPhone 5c and 5s with no up-front cost. The catch? Monthly costs higher than in the USA, and contracts that run for either 30 or 36 months. Those monthly costs are massive in a country where the average monthly salary is around $800, and a 36-month contract means that buying an iPhone 5c or 5s today will see you sitting out the iPhone 6 and 6s/c/whoknowswhat....

As much as we may love romantic movies, many don’t model healthy behaviors. Change the soundtrack behind the famous (and infamous) lines, and some famously heartwarming scenes can resemble a scary thriller than romance. Unfortunately, one behavior that is heavily promoted is stalking, which is presented as an expression of love. It’s helpful for us to take a step back and examine these behaviors for what they really are–stalking. It could be the normalizing of such behaviors might cloud people’s views of real stalking when it happens....

Dragons are awesome. They can fly, they spit fire, and they sure make for a fun way to get from point A to point B. It’s a shame they aren’t real and up for grabs, though. The production of Game of Thrones really did make it seem like a very real possibility that dragons really are a thing. From their very first appearance on the show as tiny little things to being full-blown war weapons, it’s undeniable that the team behind the show made a fantastic job bringing these creatures to life....

The final season of Game of Thrones just aired, and while everyone’s speculating who’s going to survive, others have just one thing in mind: how creepy Bran Stark was in the season opener. As you probably know by now, Bran spent the bulk of the episode staring at the people of Winterfell. While he is the Three-Eyed Raven, that makes his dead-eyed expression even worse. What is he seeing in people when he stares them down like a dog gazing at a burger?...

Horror fans are a smart bunch and many are dubious the moment they start seeing phrases like “inspired by true events” or “based on a true story” thrown around during the opening credits of any film. There have been plenty of hoaxes and instances of truth-stretching in Hollywood over the years, both in horror and other “true story” films, including biopics and beyond. But with horror films, it is especially interesting because the possibility of one of these stories being 100% real would prove that ghosts and demons could be real too....
