I was too inspired by actors in a movie talking over their walkie-talkie. Although the walkie-talkie used in those days weren’t cheap, I had that itch to use it and would seldom rely on cheaper alternatives that allow communication in a spectrum of a few feet or so. But walkie-talkies have faded from movies although they are still used in real-life security personnel, police officers, etc. Walkie talkies use radio signals to communicate between two or more users and can have different channels as well....

The ninth season of American Horror Story, dubbed 1984, stirred up nostalgia for one of the most beloved and oldest sub-genres of contemporary horror: the slasher. The first slasher is a highly debated topic among the more fervent fans. Some say the original Friday the 13th is the first film to be universally coined as a slasher, whereas others go further back to older films like Peeping Tom and A Bay of Blood....

It’s hard not to root for the bad guy. After all, they always get the best lines, the best costumes, and the best gadgets! While it’s good to stay on the straight and narrow, there’s no denying the lure of wanting to veer off and cast responsibility into the wind. Many cinematic villains have a cool factor that puts them a cut above the rest. We’re not talking about cool threads or powers....

When seen in their iconic films, the slashers and killers of horror movies are all business, slicing, dicing, dismembering, etc. Okay, so many of them clearly have fun doing it, but they still work hard to showcase their craft. However, these kings of carnage keep finding work once the cameras are off. Horror legends pop up in weird places, making cameo appearances or being fully involved with other projects. It is always a joy to see a recognizable face, or lack of face, or mask, show up in other media....

Everyone has a soft spot for their favorite classic Disney film. You’re marveled as Jasmine went on a magic carpet ride through the night sky with Aladdin. You dreamed of one day finding your Prince Charming and to become a princess like Cinderella. Maybe you found some strength and admiration when Mulan took her father’s place in the army. Disney films hold a special place in people’s hearts and Disney still continues to do so with new hit films like Frozen or Wreck-It Ralph....

Morality is as apparent in Breaking Bad as the hair on Walter White’s scalp from Season 2 onward; it’s not exactly a black-and-white situation among many characters. There are characters who have broken many laws and committed many acts of malevolence to further their goals. As a result, we can consider them as evil or bad guys based on our debatable understanding of the social construct called morality. However, we’re not here to argue about that; we’re here to reveal which characters in Breaking Bad are the worst of the rotten eggs....

Ordinarily when it comes to sequels, the rule of thumb is that they ought to come out anytime within the next 5 years for it to be expected among the audience. After that, it’s usually safe to assume that a sequel isn’t happening at all. But that’s exactly why belated sequels that are done well are so immensely satisfying. While it may be true that we currently live in a cinematic world that seems drearily empty of unique or original ideas, every now and then a gem of a sequel shines through the muck - even if the audience has to wait an unreasonable amount of time to get that sequel....

In 103 years on this Earth, Kirk Douglas, in short, lived a hell of a life. Growing up as a child in a broken and impoverished household, Douglas (born Issur Danielovitch) worked many odd jobs and got himself into acting school by the time he was older. Douglas then joined the US Navy in WWII and served on a submarine. After that, he’d go on to become one of Hollywood’s biggest Golden Age stars....

When it comes to things like where our food comes from, where our trash goes, and how we travel, every person is faced with daily choices....

As other shows airing right now are changing with the times, Family Guy struggles to shake off the shackles it’s worn since 1999. After all, the series was founded on shock value satire and intentionally offensive jokes, and a whole generation was raised on this humor. Just earlier this year, the showrunners claimed they would “phase out” homophobic jokes. It remains to be seen whether or not that’s true. While the show’s tried to rectify past errors, it’s only after accumulating twenty years worth of objectionable jokes....

Paramount+ has an extensive library of horror movies, from various periods of Hollywood history. From the original zombie apocalypse movie to one of 2022’s biggest horror hits, these films have enough scary moments to frighten even the most hardened horror fan. Scream (1996) All the Scream movies are available to stream on Paramount+ and any horror fan who has never experienced the original is certainly missing out. Wes Craven’s satirical love letter to the kind of slasher films that he helped to create remains one of the best jump scare movies of all time....

With dozens of Christmas movies released every year, Hallmark has made a tradition around their carefully crafted holiday films. Acquiring a steady cult following over the years, there are many viewers that don’t feel like Christmas can really begin until they’ve settled onto the couch with a warm cup of hot cocoa and played one of them. Even for those less enthused, they still offer a welcome break from the holiday shopping grind....

While the popular Netlix program The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which is based on a comic book, may not seem as it if has much to do with J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, the two have much in common. There are several parallels between the series, from the fact that they both tackle subject matter like good versus evil with teen witches and wizards, or warlocks, and that they also handle popular universal themes like coming of age....

If you think of horror from the UK and Ireland then you’ll most likely conjure up images of slow-burning, relatively-genteel, ghost stories in big empty manor houses. And you wouldn’t be wrong for doing so. Both countries produce a lot of movies like that and they’re often the best in the world. But don’t think that’s all that the region has to offer up on the subject of horror. No matter how much you learn, there’s always a wider world of movies out there and we’re always interested in spreading underseen greats to more people who might love them....

With Disney’s acquisition of Fox, many comic book movie fans are now eagerly anticipating certain Marvel characters joining the MCU – perhaps most notably, the X-Men. But while it will be exciting to see how the MCU brings its mutant heroes to life, some fans are lamenting the end of the X-Men’s own cinematic universe. Going back to 2000’s X-Men, the franchise helped kick-start the superhero movie genre. Since then, the franchise has played around with different timelines, spun-off into new films and brought beloved characters to the big screen....

Sinister’s macabre story introduced audiences to director Scott Derrickson’s otherworldly ‘Bughuul’ figure, which has since become a famous movie monster, spawning a sequel to the film that was released in 2015. Besides that though, fans of the movie may think that there’s not much else out there that can hit the same spot as Sinister, but they just need to know where to look. The best horror movies like Sinister have one thing in common and that is a merciless focus on terrifying the viewer throughout; creating narratives so engrossing that they can’t look away, even if that means that they have to watch through their fingers....

Decades ago, when movies based on comic books and superheroes were considered to be a major risk, DC Comics stories formed the basis of the first couple of films to show their blockbuster potential: Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie and Tim Burton’s Batman. Since then, we’ve been treated to dozens of DC Comics movies. There are plenty of movies based on DC Comics characters that have gotten terrible scores on Rotten Tomatoes – like the DCEU movies directed by Zack Snyder or the justly forgotten Jonah Hex – but there are also some with pretty impressive scores....
