The Godfather is undeniably one of the greatest movies of all time. And what some people may not know is that it is adapted from a 1969 novel of the same name. It was written by Mario Puzo and was an astounding success, selling nearly ten million copies in just two years. Unfortunately, the film adaptation quickly overshadowed Puzo’s novel, and now everyone knows The Godfather as “that Marlon Brando gangster movie,” not “that novel by Mario Puzo....

One doesn’t need to look far to notice we live in the Age of the Geek. Superhero blockbusters regularly break box office records while time-honored geek franchises are back in vogue. Meanwhile, many TV reviewers claim we live in the golden age of TV. With so many good shows out there, it becomes almost impossible to keep track of all of them. So what do you get when you cross these two trends?...

Captain America: Civil War is a global hit earning to date nearly a billion dollars and is being bombarded with acclaim from critics and fans. Marvel Studios has stated that this film is the final one in the Captain America trilogy that started in 2011 with Captain America: The First Avenger. Many will argue that the trilogy is nearly perfect and should be left at just three films. But we all know that money talks in Hollywood and nothing will guarantee more films than box office receipts and demand....

The issue with this is that it doesn’t highlight the many other vulnerabilities that could affect the security of a web application. Not included in the OWASP Top 10, the following risks are often seen and difficult to prevent, as organizations lack the knowledge that’s needed to know what to test. 13 critical web app vulnerabilities outside of OWASP’s list Security shouldn’t start and end with the OWASP Top 10 list....

The Nintendo Switch console has been out for a while now but you might be surprised to learn about how many different functions it has that people aren’t even aware of. Most gaming consoles have a few tricks that casual gamers don’t pick up until they’ve had their gadgets for an extensive period. If you do some research, you may also find out some clever tricks that could make your experience more optimal overall....

Although most shows aimed at younger audiences are more on the innocent and fun side, they definitely have their fair share of heavy moments. From intense subject matter to moments that are truly disturbing, some kids’ shows have storylines and scenes the push the limits of what we think of as being “for children.” Some shows have more of these moments than others, and some of them are almost entirely comprised of scary scenes and storylines....

Ghost stories have been a part of human society for thousands of years. Every society has their own versions of spooky tales that are concerned with the return of the dead to claim their revenge, to reconnect with relatives, or to try and return to the land of the living. One important distinction to keep in mind for this list is that there is a notable difference between a demon and a ghost....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is now officially changing after Avengers: Endgame finished off the storyline with the Infinity Stones – Spider-Man: Far From Home will serve as an epilogue, but it will kickstart this change in direction. With the series now heading in uncharted territory, it’s time to bring in the mutants into storylines, and these beings have power-levels that can easily put even Thanos to shame. Omega-level mutants have the ability to fight off Celestial beings, so you can imagine the number of ways the MCU can pull this off....

Despite the Scream series’ cultural dominance of the decade, the 90s is frequently cited as a dead-zone for horror. After the genre’s second golden era during the Reagan years, Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson gave it a self-reflexive shot in the arm, reviving the slasher with renewed sass and vigor that would last into the new millennium. Off the cinematic beaten path, however, there were interesting films being made that had no desire to cash-in on the current mania for all things quippy and self-aware, and while these films didn’t translate to big box office numbers, they mark the decade’s horror output as something more interesting than is often remembered....

Both DC and Marvel have traditionally been a bit stingy in doling out female superheroes, especially on the big screen. But in the past few years, we’ve seen the rise of two kick-butt heroines. From DC, we got Wonder Woman in 2017, and the sequel is scheduled for release in 2020. And Marvel is set to debut their first female-led superhero flick, Captain Marvel, later this year. Both are very welcome and long overdue additions to the world of superhero movies....

Though Destiny remains popular and retains a dedicated base of players - thanks in large part to the many “tweaks” implemented in Bungie’s latest expansion - there remains a lingering frustration with the property as a whole. At launch, Destiny was criticized for lacking in story and its ridiculously complicated leveling system (among other complaints) and The Taken King may have somewhat alleviated these issues, but the expansion didn’t necessarily fix all that was broken in Destiny....

2019 was a pretty solid year for shows, and so was the year before, and the year before, and frankly the ten years before that. Shows have been releasing at a constant rate with solid titles in every genre, and it doesn’t look to stop any time soon. With so much great content out, and with so many shows on break, or just starting, it can be hard to keep up with it all....

Edgar Wright is now one of the most exciting filmmakers in Hollywood, creating some of the most entertaining films in recent memory. However, Wright’s talents were apparent to everyone who saw his amazing feature film debut, Shaun of the Dead. The movie is a loving homage and hilarious parody of the zombie film genre. It stars Simon Pegg as a directionless man who, along with his best friend (Nick Frost), set out to save his girlfriend during a zombie outbreak....

For every great comic book superpower, there’s a support team of abilities that at least attempts to explain how people can use their powers without instantly killing themselves. It’s the reason you (almost) never see folks with super strength pulling a muscle because they forgot to lift with the knees. Over the decades, plenty of these secondary superpowers have cropped up to explain away how physics seems to be repeatedly scrunched up and tossed out the window....

10. Penny Pann - ENFJ Even though she’s half of the affair that breaks up the Maisels, Penny Pann isn’t really the one we dislike. In fact, she’s kind of a tragic character. She took a risk in another person and he deserted her. Like other ENFJs, this affects Penny so deeply because she needs people. She doesn’t like being alone, and though her actions weren’t great, they happened because she values Joel as a person....

Despite the presence of some high-profile franchise installments (Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, Underworld: Blood Wars), January kicked off 2017 with a typically slow start. Yet, in a twist befitting one of his own films, M. Night Shyamalan turned out to be the month’s big winner with his horror-thriller Split – which stars James McAvoy as a kidnapper with 23 different personalities – raking in $40 million in its opening weekend, signaling a major comeback for the once-revered filmmaker....

For 25 years, The Santa Clause has been a beloved Christmas movie adored by kids and adults of all ages. The 1994 film spawned two sequels in 2002 and 2006, but it was the original that first brought smiles to our faces and reminded us how to believe in Santa. The Santa Clause (and that’s not a typo) is about a man named Scott (Tim Allen)who finds himself subject to a clause about becoming the new Santa after the old Santa accidentally falls off the roof of Scott’s house on Christmas Eve....

As is stands now, DC Universe’s Titans is a far cry from its animated counterpart Teen Titans. There are a huge amount of differences between the two, but obviously, the two are both based around the titular Titans superhero team. The Teen Titans animated franchise has the benefit of starting out with the team completely formed, with Titans showing the origin of the team. Today we’ll be taking a look at ten plotlines from Teen Titans that we’d like to see incorporated into Titans....

The Arrowverse has become more and more complex as shows and characters have been added to its ever-growing roster. With that complicated range of settings and people, a lot of things have started to not make too much sense about this universe. While sometimes great explanations have been provided as to why these narrative issues occur, there are some things that make absolutely no sense. Here are 10 things about the Arrowverse that we will always struggle to understand....

When Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile was announced, many found it in poor taste as the trailer seemed to glamorize the life of sinister serial killer Ted Bundy. While the choice of a charismatic heartthrob to portray pure evil may have been questionable, by the final five minutes of the film, it was clear how wicked Bundy truly was. According to the director, Joe Berlinger, the intention of the film was to cast light on the viewpoint of Bundy’s girlfriend, Liz Kloepfer....
