The 1970s is an era known for being one of monumental change in the film business. Hollywood started to take risks in the stories that were being told, giving resources to provocative and visionary filmmakers. This decade of interesting projects even extended to the science fiction genre, where bold movies were being made that would change Hollywood forever. The ambition of the stories and the scale of the films produced sci-fi features unlike anything that had previously been seen in Hollywood....

In meta series BH90210, the main cast from the original series Beverly Hills, 90210 play exaggerated versions of themselves (the real actors, not the characters they played) trying to get a reboot of the show off the ground. The first season, which consisted of just six episodes, has left viewers anxious to find out if a second season will be underway. Along with all main cast members, with the exception of the tragically-departed Luke Perry, several other former stars and guest stars from the original show have made appearances....

Although its belated sequel failed to live up to its legacy (mainly because it was so lazily written that Will Smith chose to do Suicide Squad instead), Independence Day remains a classic of blockbuster cinema. Roland Emmerich’s loud, bombastic, action-packed, effects-laden, shamelessly cheesy sci-fi juggernaut is still the alien invasion movie to beat. There’s only one that has Will Smith punching an alien in the face and saying, “Welcome to Earth!...

There have been a number of time-loop movies in recent years, from Edge of Tomorrow to Happy Death Day. As successful as those movies are, they all owe a lot to the original time-loop gem, Groundhog Day. The comedy stars Bill Murray as a cranky weatherman covering the annual Groundhog Day festival but finds himself waking up on the same day over and over. The movie was praised for its inventive and original premise as well as Murray’s pitch-perfect performance....

With Disney slowly taking steps towards acquiring Fox and all of its creative assets, the X-Men movie franchise is about to get shaken up in a major way. There are a couple of upcoming movies of the Fox slate that Disney has confirmed will still get theatrical releases, but after that, Marvel Studios will be free to step in and reshape the franchise how they see fit. A lot of roles may get recast, but the popular characters could get picked out of the ensemble cast and expanded into solo movies....

The final entry in the Skywalker Saga met its fair share of issues in filming and dropped to an incredibly polarising response from critics and fans alike. It was a feast of visuals and non-stop action, but many believe it didn’t do its characters justice and fell flat on a few storylines. The film is also known for its retconning of various moments from the previous films (such as demoting Rose from main character status), but it also has its fair share of inconsistencies and continuity errors....

As a visual platform, Instagram is the perfect place to post curated images, offering photographers an easy way to develop a portfolio and showcase it to the world, all while connecting with potential fans and clients. Social media-savvy photographers also use other Instagram features (including Reels, Instagram Stories, Guides, and Instagram Lives) to supercharge their growth and reach on social media. Not to toot our own horn, but a stack of talented Instagram photographers even use Plann to keep their feeds looking cohesive (#humblebrag)....

The Oscars are an award ceremony notorious for snubbing some of the best names in film, creating uproar after uproar every year with whatever newest gem they exclude. This year brought some big and rather unjust snubs, one of the biggest being the fact that Greta Gerwig, whose groundbreaking hit, Little Women, was nominated in several departments, was not nominated for Best Director. In the animation department, indie films are getting more recognition than they did in past years....

In 2015, a Canadian sitcom debuted that turned heads with its offbeat humor and characters full of heart. Five seasons later, Schitt’s Creek is beloved by audiences all over the world thanks to cable networks and streaming sites. The series follows the Roses, a formerly wealthy family who lost everything, when they relocate to the small town of Schitt’s Creek. Schitt’s Creek is their last asset, one that can’t be confiscated....

Santa Claus, the face of the Christmas season himself, is one of the most iconic characters in all of existence. It takes a certain type of magic to bring this jolly old elf to life on screen, and we’ve got no shortage of Santas in various specials. But how many actually stack up and do the role justice? From the bright and jolly to the mysterious and magical, we’ve seen Santas as different as they come....

Airplanes. Ever since 1903, when the Wright brothers flew the first plane in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, planes have fascinated us. They invoke great memories of your last vacation and fantasies of faraway places. But with a history of crashing, bombings, and hijackings, planes also bring with them a sense of anticipation, fear, and tension. With all these emotions already associated with airplanes, it’s clear to see why they make such great settings for movies....

Thousands upon thousands of people are necessary and needed when it comes to making a feature-length film, and each person is important to the process - but the one person who’s arguably the most important when it comes to getting the vision for the movie on the screen is the director. Directors are the ones who are household names, and their names can very often be the thing that persuades audiences to get up and go to the theater in the first place....

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and that means now is the perfect time to start looking for something to watch with your significant other, or even just for a cozy night in with a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine for yourself. Hallmark always has the best romantic movies for any holiday but with so many to choose from, it can be hard to make a decision....

Recently, Quentin Tarantino dropped a re-edited version of his 2015 revisionist western The Hateful Eight on Netflix as a four-part miniseries. He’s been suggesting that he might do the same with Django Unchained and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, too (despite the fact that the latter has already been criticized for having too much filler in its current form). As Tarantino pioneers this new form of re-cutting long movies to fit a new format, there a couple of three-hour movies out there that could do with a makeover....

There’s crazy fan theories for every franchise, and that includes these imaginative ones for John Wick. The first film hit theaters in 2014 and introduced audiences to Keanu Reeves’ latest action franchise. He’s responsible for some iconic roles in the past with Point Break and The Matrix, but after years of less successful films, tackling the action-heavy lead role put him back on the map. The first John Wick kept the story (and budget) small and focused on John’s personal vendetta against the Russian mob, and the simple narrative mixed perfectly with the killing spree he went on....

By far, the cyberpunk genre has been the most subversive category in fiction. It’s a grim and twisted reflection of the world we have today if both progress and problems were cranked to their extremes. Cyberpunk films, books, and other media forms often deal in rebellion, unfair status quo, existentialism, and anarchy, a combination which sadly, most of the world isn’t ready for just yet. As a result, cyberpunk remains a niche in most media with its masterpieces remaining few and far between....

Martin Scorsese is one of the most prolific and recognizable living American filmmakers over the last 50 years. Like every other movie buff, Scorsese developed his love for cinema at a young age, going to the movie theatre and consuming as much as he could. A film nerd through and through, Scorsese eventually got his MFA from NYU after earning a Bachelor’s in English. Scorsese came of age in the 1960s, an exciting decade for movies....

This is the week that culminates as a festive orgy of–no, not turkey, not even football–but shopping. Serious shoppers are eyeing Black Friday and counting on getting the best bargains of the year beginning one minute after midnight the day after Thanksgiving. But, warns Lindsay Sakraida, features director at dealnews.com, don’t assume that the lowest price of everything on your shopping list will be found during Black Friday. It’s true for many products, but Sakraida tells Black Friday shoppers to avoid buying these 10 items:...

Edward Scissorhands is Tim Burton’s favorite film that he has ever created. It holds a special place in his heart as well as ours. Everything about this 90s classic is filled to the brim with colorful whimsy (and we’re not just referring to the crazy hairstyles Edward thinks up throughout the film). Yet what makes the film so special is the fact that it has a big heart. At the end of the day, it is a love story about two people who seem to have been searching for their whole lives to find each other....

Jack Nicholson is often considered one of (if not the) best actors of all time. His passionate delivery and uncanny ability to play crazy, demented characters are second to none, but his versatility is also seriously impressive. Across a career that is currently in its sixth decade, he has certainly been provided his fair share of brilliant lines, delivered with equal brilliance. We’ve collected ten of the best quotes from characters Jack Nicholson has portrayed....
