It’s been a while, Potterheads. There hasn’t been new content in a long time, so Harry Potter fans will have to depend on the already-extant content to satiate themselves of any cravings for the magical world of Hogwarts. There’s Harry Potter World at Universal Studios, Pottermore, the Wizards Unite app, and, of course, the infinite world of fan art. When all else fails, the best approach is to make your own!...
The Dark Souls series probably have some of the most memorable bosses in gaming because any player who has come across them will surely associate them with some intense emotions. Sometimes it can be fear due to their design, other times they inspire awe, but most of the time, they induce rage - enough to reduce a grown man to a bawling infant. For that matter, bosses and characters throughout the three Dark Souls games are so memorable as to warrant some cosplay love....
The 1980’s was a pretty wild time for film making and for the world in general, and although some of the classic films from the 80’s are now nearly 40 years old, many of them still haven’t lost any of their luster. But it’s hard to determine what exactly turns a film into a classic, and to be honest it doesn’t seem like “classic” status is always determined by actual film quality....
When I started on my own, recording and managing my finances was non-existent. If you’re not good at keeping track of what you have in your accounts or what is coming or going from those accounts, this may be the answer for you. Having a budget system and dedication to documenting that information is essential. Software, apps, and even websites will help you tackle this. Here we’ve provided 10 spreadsheet templates to help you manage your finances, brought to you by our sponsor, NetSuite....
The New Mutants is probably the worst positioned superhero movie that’s been made. The film, which has a highly interesting concept of mutants trapped in a facility, thereby making it a horror feature, has been at a disadvantage due to the X-Men film series closing its doors soon enough. Long delays have meant that fan interest has subsided greatly from the initial interest that had developed. However, that’s changed within the span of a couple months as The New Mutants is now scheduled to be released in due course....
In the 1970s, no one else was making horror movies like Italians. This was the height of Giallo’s popularity, a particular type of Italian horror that literally translates in English to yellow. Giallo movies are defined by the pulpy style of paperbacks with thrilling horror undertones. These films include elements from slashers, procedurals, supernatural stories, and psychological cliffhangers. While not all of the films on this list are technically Giallo movies, they are all informed by the Giallo style....
When it comes to fairytales and fantasy, there are few studios who do the genre better than Disney. With Snow White, Aladdin, and even King Arthur on their payroll, it makes sense that the house of the mouse would have the biggest iron in the fire. But what if you’ve seen them all and want something more? Fortunately, fairytales have transitioned wonderfully over to our modern era, and the film world isn’t afraid of venturing into fiction and fantasy....
Friends is one of the best television shows we’ve ever seen and we’re pretty confident in saying that a lot of people reading this feel the same way. Sure, it may not be viewed in quite the same light as Breaking Bad or The Wire, but it’s still a funny and heartwarming series that we all know and love. Unfortunately, as is the case with most shows, it certainly isn’t without its faults....
Jamie Foxx is one of those performers who seems naturally gifted at everything he tries. He got his start as a stand-up comedian before moving into movies and television. He soon stepped out of his comedic persona and began taking on dramatic parts and winning awards. All these accomplishments and we haven’t even mentioned his singing career. Foxx is a fantastic addition to any cast, with a wide range of talents....
If you ask any film fan who the current king of monster movies is, there’s a good chance a majority would say Guillermo Del Toro. No other director has embraced the aesthetics of classic monster films and effects in the same way as Del Toro, and no other director has stamped their taste onto it as well. In his varied directorial career, Del Toro has created some of the most frightening and imaginative monster designs in the history of cinema....
We’ve recently covered some of the best science fiction movie posters that the industry have ever produced, but we’d be remiss not to mention the wide variety of television posters that have also been created for series within the genre. Over the last decade, the poster game has been stepped up in the television industry, as the land of the TV has entered a golden age. We’ve taken 10 of our favorite posters from shows that consistently turn out great marketing imagery and ranked them!...
Futurama was an iconic and entertaining series. Though sometimes it really knew exactly how to hit fans in the heart, either by surprising us with a depressing plot or by presenting us with some grand and beautiful romantic gesture. But today we’re not going to talk about the sad moments (well, not all of them, at any rate). Instead, we’re going to focus on the ten biggest and best romantic gestures in the series....
It’s a sad truth that some TV shows from the past just don’t hold up today. No matter how much pop culture obsessives talk about the film and TV gems from the ’80s and ’90s, sometimes the outfits, production value, and storylines seem very dated by more recent standards. One such show is Sex and the City. Yes, the show has its die-hard fans (especially those who want to be Carrie Bradshaw), but since it was on the air from 1998 until 2004, it makes sense that there are some things about it that don’t quite work today....
10 Genius Examples of QR Codes used in Marketing Campaigns: What are QR Codes? QR Codes (short for Quick Response Codes) are those funny looking square printed boxes that look like an over-sized barcode. They store and transmit data, and you can use them by scanning them with your phone. They have been around for a surprisingly long time. QR Codes were first invented back in 1994 by a Toyota subsidiary named Denso Wave to help in the manufacturing process, tracking vehicles and parts....
Tom Cruise has been one of the most iconic actors of all time. Since the 80s, Tom Cruise has been starring in movies that have stood the test of time and became classics. From Top Gun to A Few Good Men, Tom Cruise has managed to show that he can act in both action movies and in intense dramas. Perhaps the most famous thing about Tom Cruise is that he insists on doing his own stunts, regardless of his age or the danger of the stunt....
The Marvel-Netflix alliance has come to an end, and now that Disney is launching its streaming service debuting in November, it appears as though the characters from Netflix’s universe have been left behind. It was revealed in 2019’s Comic-Con that Disney Plus will be streaming original content of its own, including TV shows for characters such as Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olson), and Falcon (Anthony Mackie). As great as these shows look, it is a shame that so many vibrant characters from the Netflix adaptations will be lost in the shuffle....
While not up to the level of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in terms of critical approval and box office success, the DCEU has been able to pull in some big-time actors. With names like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, it is no surprise that Warner Bros. finds quality, and often, award-winning actors to take on the roles. However, whether big stars are critically acclaimed actors, these performers have some movies in their past that people don’t talk about enough....
Clueless is a 1995 teen movie starring Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz, a spoiled Beverly Hills teen that finds purpose in conducting good deeds for those around her. It was a memorable teen movie in that it made us laugh, taught life lessons, and provided many relatable storylines throughout (and was originally based on Jane Austen’s Emma!). Watching Cher navigate high school and life is one of those stories that will always be a significant part of pop culture, and Cher’s character is definitely a favorite of ours....
Even long after it ended, Full House remains one of the most beloved sitcoms from the early 90s. Throughout its 8 season run, the series managed to build quite the following. Considering the success of the show, the consistent cast and longer than average series was so successful that it even got a spinoff series many years later titled, Fuller House. While the series itself was still far from perfect, the expert balance of heart and humor helped make audiences very forgiving to some weaker moments in the series....
How I Met Your Mother may not have ended the way some fans wanted, but there are many other aspects that fans should be thankful for. For instance, the soundtrack. Remember when we found out that Robin was a Canadian popstar that went by the name Robin Sparkles? Or Barney’s song about his love for suits? While these songs have given us much joy and pleasure, have you ever been curious to analyze the lyrics?...
