Gilmore Girls is undeniably one of the most popular shows to come out of the WB/CW era. It aired for seven seasons plus a brief Netflix revival series and there is still a possibility of more to come from the series in the future, although it does seem unlikely at the moment. The show gave us one of the most lovable and famous mother/daughter duos in television history with the introduction of best friends and relatives, Lorelai and Rory Gilmore....

Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now often ranks among the greatest films ever made. The expertly crafted journey through war-torn Vietnam deals with many themes regarding armed conflict, American intervention, and the psychology of soldiers out in the field. As the old saying goes, “one doesn’t make an omelet without first breaking a few eggs,” and anyone who has read up on the film’s production can attest to the number of eggs cracked during filming....

After showing their unique style and incredible versatility as filmmakers with their first two films, the Coen brothers set out to make a very different movie for their third feature. Miller’s Crossing was a throwback to the gangster films set in the 1930s, and tells the story of a right-hand man to an Irish mob boss whose loyalty is put to the test during a gang war. The movie mixed the somber tone of Blood Simple with some of the outrageous humor of Raising Arizona along plenty of other influences....

Disney has always been the biggest name in film animation, but the ’90s are a special era in their history. After a lackluster period, the so-called Disney Renaissance emerged with some of the biggest, most acclaimed films they have ever produced. These films became beloved by a whole new generation of Disney fans. Thanks to the nostalgia of these movies and the many live-action remakes, fans keep revisiting these films again and again....

Martial arts has truly evolved in cinema over the years, but certainly in Hollywood. Ranging from the acrobatic to the practical, it’s a fascinating display of skill, almost akin to dancing, and there have been dozens of movies in that niche genre, too. However, martial arts movies have been steeped in overseas cinema, keeping it basically inaccessible for mainstream Hollywood audiences. Most don’t care for subtitles, or perhaps the redundancy of fight scenes, and even many classics had something of an exaggerated tone, particularly regarding humor....

Netflix has been a great place for original scripted TV shows for a while now. In recent times, the streaming service has also been investing in other media properties, including films, animated projects, and even reality shows. What’s more, Netflix seems interested in disrupting the various genres of reality TV that we’ve come to know – from singing competitions to social experiments. If you’re looking for the next big reality TV show to watch, it may already be streaming on Netflix....

Very few villains have had the same impact as the Joker. What was originally just another comic-book villain has managed to swiftly become one of the most studied and reproduced characters of all time. The Joker’s insanity has been portrayed everywhere, from the original format of comic books to endless movie and television adaptions. Joaquin Phoenix’s take on the character in the upcoming Joker is only the most recent in a string of many, many more....

2020 will be loaded with action movies. Whether it’s a sequel, remake or original story, there is a lot to be excited about in the coming months. With the Avengers and Star Wars sagas coming to an end, the belt for the most popular action movie is up for grabs. Of all movies released every year, action movies seem to be the leading genre. This makes it quite difficult to whittle the list down to just ten....

Action movies are the bread and butter of Hollywood. They have just enough adrenaline-pumping action that people will pay to watch them whether they are funny or dark, grounded in reality or full of supernatural elements, great or just plain awful. In this day and age where everything is digitized, it can be difficult to remember what action films were like before CGI, bullet time, or the overused phenomenon of the shaky cam....

The one genre that needs more appreciation is the horror film genre, as this category is generally considered only as a supplementary form of entertainment and hardly ever considered for awards or special mention. And yet, horror movies are responsible for some of the most quoted scenes out there. We’ve compiled a number of films that have proven to be a hit among audiences but have generally taken quotes that aren’t catchphrases....

Hit series Gilmore Girls draws such an impressive fan base for the unique mother-daughter relationship shared between Lorelai and Rory — in addition to the extended family drama between Lorelai and her parents. But the many romantic relationships that flourish throughout the show also play a huge part in making it a hit. From the Team Dean/Jess/Logan debate in Rory’s love life, to the Luke/Max/Chris dispute in Lorelai’s, there have been plenty of romantic ups and downs for fans to follow, and with this came some pretty damn impressive romantic gestures....

Moviegoers love a good cameo. The action sort of takes a break to showcase someone who you wouldn’t normally see within the context of the movie. Sometimes the cameo is for fun and laughs. Other times it’s an homage to a TV series or another film the movie you’re currently watching is based on. For anyone who has seen The Force Awakens, then you know a slew of people love Star Wars and appeared at the very least underneath stormtrooper armor....

Many of the Disney movies are set at different times throughout history. Some of them are slightly more recent than others, but most of them are set in the distant past, in a faraway land. In order to emphasize this, the princesses in these Disney movies often have incredibly elaborate and beautiful dresses and hairstyles that are fit for a princess in the time period of the movie. Although the characters in our favorite Disney movies may have beautiful wardrobes, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re the most historically accurate....

There are a few shows that see the success that Breaking Bad did. And with only five seasons under its belt, it’s incredible the feat that it was able to accomplish. The decision to create a show centered around an unsuspecting science teacher doubling as a meth cook seems taboo in and of itself, but throw in a DEA brother-in-law and a time ticking cancer bomb and you’ve got a recipe for one hell of a series....

But, a lot has changed in the years since we launched our first app. Our community has grown (love you all!) and the world of social media has evolved. We wanted to make sure we’re still offering the very best functionality to make sure planning your social media content is as smooth and streamlined as possible. Hence, our shiny new app! This isn’t like one of those makeovers in Hollywood movies where they take the glasses off an already cute girl and brush her hair and exclaim “Gasp!...

Peaky Blinders has been a huge hit on the BBC, following the Shelby family as they grow their empire through all manner of business both legal and illegal. Creating rivalries with various different people along the way, from other criminals to the government, the show is incredibly gripping. Cillian Murphy brings an incredible performance in the lead role as Tommy Shelby, and the series has proven to be incredibly popular. Fans have watched each series incredibly closely, checking every episode closely, but that doesn’t mean that the audiences have picked up on every detail....

The childhood of three girls raised by three men in 1980s/1990s San Francisco was captured in popular sitcom Full House. It brought us plenty of happy memories over the years, from “You got it dude!” and “How rude!” to heartfelt moments and difficult life lessons. Born from this memorable series were plenty of catchphrases, a great cast of characters and deep-rooted family values. Current generations are rediscovering the series, especially with the release of the revival Fuller House on Netflix, which has once again made the series popular....

There is no doubt that we are currently living in a golden age of television. With streaming services completely changing the industry and new companies launching (almost) every other day, TV fans are certainly not left wanting. It’s not to say that an increased budget is going to guarantee a higher quality show, but there is more money in television now than there ever has been before. It means that TV shows can be more adventurous, and even offer some serious competition to the film industry....

Studio Ghibli is responsible for some of the greatest animated movies ever made from some of the most renowned directors in the medium, including Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. Their influence is felt far and wide, with several animation houses paying tribute to them throughout the years. Almost as interesting as the plethora of films to come out of the studio, including world-renowned classics like Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Grave of the Fireflies, are some of the things that went on and are currently happening behind the scenes....

The Oscars is an award ceremony so prestigious that it normally looks down on the horror genre. This isn’t exactly fair; just because a horror movie aims to scare the audience, does not mean that it has no profound, moving material to offer. Horror is an important genre in film, as it has the power to evoke many different emotions from the viewer. With this in mind, though, the Oscars rarely gets over the unattractive stigma in horror movies long enough to give them their overdue recognition....
