The Twilight Saga was a landmark franchise. Say what you will about the quality of the movies (and we’ll get to that later), but there is no denying the impact the franchise has had on Hollywood. Just take a look at the movie adaptations of young adult novels to hit the big screen since Twilight was first released in 2008. I Am Number Four, The Hunger Games, Beautiful Creatures, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Divergent, The Maze Runner, and The Fifth Wave are just a few of the many, many franchises to launch in the last six years with hopes of becoming the next Twilight (in terms of box office success, at least)....

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....

If you’re looking for a wild, over-the-top, unapologetic, action-packed anime to add to your summer watchlist, look no further than Kill la Kill. The series saw a spectacular 24-episode run that was filled with weapon-infused fight sequences and outlandish character outfits. In fact, the outfits are a big part of the Kill la Kill world. The main storyline focuses on clothing materials dubbed “Life Fibers,” which imbue the wearer with superhuman abilities....

Ever since its first episode in 2011, Game of Thrones has become one of the most popular television shows of all time. HBO’s production team have led us through a twisted path of triumph, dread, laughter, heartache, and everything in between along the way, and none of us are ready for the show to finally end - both because its absence will leave a void in our lives, and because apparently we will “need therapy” after the finale....

It’s been more than 30 years since Die Hard first graced theaters and sparked a debate over whether or not it’s a Christmas movie (a debate that continues to rage on to this day). In that time, it has spawned four sequels and its lead character, John McClane, has become the template for all action movie heroes. The movie is endlessly quotable, with fans able to rattle off line after line, and it remains a timeless classic....

Everybody Loves Raymond was a popular sitcom that ran from 1996 to 2005. As such, it was definitely a pop culture phenomenon of the early 2000s. It dealt with many relatable family issues that people of the time could relate to. While it does seem out of date now, there are many things about the show that are still funny and accurate to anyone who is close to their family. Many people have pointed out that there are some outdated and even problematic things about the series....

With the success of X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past, we are nearing the completion of Fox’s X-Men “Prequelogy” with the upcoming X-Men Apocalypse. For the most part, the primary villain of these three movies has been Magneto, who wants to ensure that mutants are the dominant species, along with various human factions attempting to punish and regulate the existence of mutants. X-Men Apocalypsewill give us a new villain in the form of Apocalypse: an incredibly powerful mutant who has absolutely no gray area of humanity (unlike Magneto), and simply believes in complete domination....

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street is a holiday staple. A story about finding faith in the unbelievable, the film has become a timeless classic during the holidays for multiple generations since its release in 1947. The film is full of classic Hollywood stars, from Maureen O’Hara to Natalie Wood, and has one of the best performances by an actor playing Santa Claus with Edmund Gwenn. But for all the memories people have made with this film, there are still lots of behind-the-scenes facts that have gone unnoticed....

It’s fair to say that there are a lot of benefits to being a Hollywood movie star – but that doesn’t mean there aren’t downsides, either. Maybe the biggest challenge actors face on a regular basis – other than trying to keep their private lives, y’know, “private” – is choosing their next role. This might not sound like too much of a dilemma. Think about it: could you tell whether or not a film was going to be a hit, just by flicking through the script?...

These acronyms simply refer to the type of audience you’re trying to attract. For some businesses, marketing directly to consumers is their main goal, while other businesses might be looking to win sales from other businesses. Businesses-to-businesses (B2B) marketing is about just that! So, what is B2B content marketing all about? What content strategies should you leverage to stand out from your competition? And what platforms should you be using to deliver the best results for your business?...

Remember Fear Factor? The stunt game show originally hosted by Joe Rogan and later by Ludacris? Contestants were tasked with completing three extreme challenges designed to test them physically and mentally, all in an attempt to capture the grand prize of $50,000. It made audiences gasp, cringe, laugh, and, most importantly, it glued them to their TV sets during the early 2000s. There was a lot more to this show than meets the eye, however....

When it comes to superpowers, few are as awesome as super wads of cash! Yes, Tony Stark may be a genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist, but it’s the money that gives him the Iron Man armors. And the genius, but mostly the money. While a lot of superheroes are running around in spandex, struggling to hold down a low-paying job, some of these guys are rolling in cash. And we aren’t just talking a few bucks here, not even millions of dollars, but sometimes tens of billions....

Suave spy James Bond is one of cinema’s most iconic characters. For more than fifty years the British spy has been delighting audiences, whether it be with the serious films in the series like Skyfall, or the sillier adventures like The Man With the Golden Gun or Moonraker. When something is such a pop-culture staple, it’s all but guaranteed to be a prime candidate for memes. In honor of Daniel Craig’s final run as the character in No Time to Die, many Redditors have stepped up to the plate and cast some shade Bond’s way....

With the recent announcements of Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer remake and upcoming HBO show, The Nerves, it seems as good a time as any to reflect on the onscreen relationships of one of his greatest creations, Angel. The successful Buffy spinoff found its unique voice with the vampire detective noir angle and ultimately blew us away by its fifth and final season, but the central romantic relationships in the series left something to be desired....

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....
