The E4 series, Skins, became an instant cultural phenomenon when it premiered in 2007. It made waves by casting actual amateur actors in the teenage roles to give it a legitimate taste of realism. Every two seasons, the cast changed to allow for new stories, although popular characters did return in the final season. Skins dealt with controversial subjects like abuse, teen pregnancy, eating disorders, and more. It became the gold standard for coming-of-age stories due to its grit and dark humor....

Die Hard remains one of the most beloved action movies of all-time. It was the film that made Bruce Willis a massive star. While most action heroes to that time were giant muscle-bound men or guys with giant guns and a ton of military experience, Die Hard made the hero an everyman who just wanted to survive. It started something new in Hollywood as more average-looking men and women put into extraordinary situations where they had to rely on luck as much as brains to survive....

When moviegoing audiences got used to seeing hordes of slow-moving zombies dawdling across the silver screen, Danny Boyle came along to shake things up. In 28 Days Later, he gave us ravenous zombies that were so hungry for human flesh that they would sprint towards their targets. Boyle insists that 28 Days Later isn’t a zombie movie, but come on, it’s a zombie movie. It has a plucky group of survivors facing off against legions of the undead....

Rick and Morty are currently enjoying their fourth season on adult swim and so far it has been just as hilarious, intelligent and bizarre as always. Screenrant has already listed other animations to enjoy if you’re a fan, now it’s time to take a look at some live-action shows. The programs in this list strike a similar tone in humor, sci-fi, or maybe a bit of both. So if you’re at a bind with what to view whilst you wait for the next adventure of Sanchez and co, why not check one of these great shows out?...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has amassed a pretty massive fanbase during their decade-long existence. One of the best things about the superfans is their creative ability to show their love for the material they support. Cosplay is the most popular form of fan appreciation, but some go all out with something more permanent than a costume. Tattoos have been around for centuries. Nevertheless, they still continue to be used as a form of symbolic body art....

Thor’s solo trilogy is possibly the least consistent in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but at least it went out on a high note. Each installment drastically changed the style and tone of the franchise. Kenneth Branagh directed the first one as a Shakespearean tragedy, but it failed to grip audiences. Game of Thrones’ Alan Taylor helmed The Dark World as a work of medieval fantasy, and it was panned as perhaps the MCU’s worst entry....

Casting is arguably the most important aspect of putting a film together. It’s pertinent to find the right actors for each role, whether it’s the movie’s lead or a minor cameo for a single scene. In today’s day and age of social media, everyone thinks they have what it takes to be a casting director and frequently offer their two cents whenever a major part is up for grabs. Unfortunately for them, the filmmakers don’t always see eye-to-eye with the fans’ choices....

At three hours and thirty minutes Martin Scorcese’s newest film, The Irishman, has quite enough run time to come up with at least a few excellent quotes for its characters. With its release on Netflix and its snub at the Golden Globes, the movie has certainly been in the news lately, though often not with the glowing reviews or high praise it wasn’t certainly striving for. Still, as we reexamine this newest of De Niro and Scorcese projects, there are still a few things to enjoy, and some zingers to remember and maybe even use in some everyday conversation....

Recently, it has been announced that Sony and Disney are terminating their partnership that allowed Spider-Man to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Unfortunately for fans, this means that Spider-Man can no longer appear along various other Marvel heroes like Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, or now the Fantastic Four. While Spider-Man’s fate remains unclear, his return to the MCU seems all the more unlikely with each passing day. Because of this, fans have begun to speculate as to who will replace the Web Head’s role on the big screen....

Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire is not only the most underrated and underappreciated film the studio has ever produced, but is quite possibly one of the most overlooked and under-watched science-fiction films the genre has ever known. From its distinct, sketchbook-inspired style to the Jules Verne-esque technology and steampunk aesthetic, both are but drops in the ocean of reasons to adore this film. Despite harsh criticisms and poor marketing on Disney’s part, the film does have a cult-status among both Disney fans and fans of the sci-fi genre....

Now that the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have wrapped up with Avengers: Endgame, it’s fun to go back and connect all the dots that make up the so-called “Infinity Saga”. However, something that quickly becomes apparent when re-visiting the last 11 years’ worth of MCU movies is that some instalments are more important to the franchise’s overarching narrative than others. Ostensibly, The Incredible Hulk is the poster child for the latter category....

Remember the days when you could easily spot CGI in movies? Unfortunately, they still exist (think Fantastic Four reboot), and we may never be fully rid of them. While there have been some pretty horrible instances of CGI as well as some awesome ones, perhaps the most impressive are the moments where you had no idea computer-generated effects were being used at all. All explosions, sentient robots and Jar Jar Binks aside, in the hands of an adept filmmaker, CGI can be an indispensable tool for achieving subtle effects to better immerse the audience in a story and its characters....

When people think of great television, they think of dramas, procedurals, comedies, and science fiction, but rarely fantasy. In years past, fantasy was seen as a niche genre. But what many people get wrong is that fantasy doesn’t just apply to stories with magic and dragons. 2022 is an incredible year for people who love fantasy television shows. On top of the regular fantasy TV shows that are currently airing, two of the biggest franchises in history came to streaming services this year....

Audiences just adored sitcom Full House back in the eighties and nineties, and fans were excited when it made a comeback in the reboot Fuller House. This time, DJ is a single mother raising three boys with the help of her sister Stephanie and best friend Kimmy. The story may sound familiar, but the show is filled with new jokes to bring the (Fuller) house down. We’ve examined the show’s tendency to break the fourth wall, a concept in which characters acknowledge that they are on TV show or that the actors have other lives....

Before the Avengers phenomenon, one of the most impressive movie casts ever assembled was the line-up for Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s Eleven. The 2001 caper was a remake of the Rat Pack film from 1960 and featured George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts, among many others, sharing the screen in a widely entertaining heist film. The sequels added even more stars to the cast while Ocean’s 8 was a who’s who of female stars like Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and Rhianna....

Sense8 is the brainchild (so much pun intended) of the Wachowskis, probably best known for creating The Matrix series. And like The Matrix, Sense8 is a wild ride and a visual treat. The gist of the show is that eight strangers, all from various backgrounds and countries, are gifted with a powerful mental connection that enables them to experience whatever the others are experiencing. They can communicate with one another, see through each other’s eyes, and even temporarily inhabit each other’s bodies....

It’s no secret that people love theorizing and speculating about Star Wars. And with new movies coming out every year for the foreseeable future, there’s no shortage of discussions to be had. Even before The Force Awakens, the franchise had numerous questions that were never answered, and now with an all-new canon that includes novels, comics, and TV shows, just about anything is possible. As we wait to see what the future films have in store, here are 10 Star Wars mysteries that can’t be answered....

In eight years of the Arrowverse, we have seen plenty of heroes make their way to the small screen, either as supporting characters or making small cameos only real DC fans would see. With the current Crisis on Infinite Earth’s crossover, we have seen more heroes than ever appear in hopes of defeating the Anti-monitor. But as DC fans know, the comics have hundred upon hundreds of superheroes, some well-known, others a part of a smaller fanbase....
