Though Disney animated feature films have been a permanent fixture of people’s lives for decades, much of the studio’s output is forgotten or ignored. From its earliest days, the company’s founder, Walt Disney used the animation medium to make, what he considered to be serious artistic work. But popular tastes and profits often outweigh creativity, and Disney has always struggled to find a balance between chasing innovation and boosting its bottom line....

To many Star Trek fans, Star Trek The Next Generation holds a particularly special place in their hearts (right behind where their Starfleet badge would be). The series was the first foray into the adventures of the Enterprise and its crew since 1966, when Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Co. began their five-year exploratory mission. In 1987, Next Gen introduced us to a new crew led by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, and for seven seasons we became invested in the trials and tribulations of Lieutenant Data, Commander Riker, and the others....

The start of a new year means new TV, and 2020 is jam packed full of premieres. With so many networks and streaming services, our schedules are bursting at the seams with TV to watch. That being said, we always have room for a new obsession or an old favorite. From comedy to drama, to reality to sci-fi, there is something for every single fandom. With long-running series like Arrow and Supernatural ending, we’ll need franchises like Marvel, Star Trek, and Star Wars to fill the void....

The Jungle Book hit theaters this month, the latest addition to Disney studios’ current love of live-action remakes. Since Maleficent in 2014 and Cinderella in 2015, Disney has announced a slew of new versions of all their animated classics. Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchio, The Sword in the Stone and many more will be coming to our screens in the next few years, delighting fans who fell in love with the originals as children, and who want a new kind of Disney magic as adults....

The science-fiction genre has been responsible for some of the most iconic movie villains of all time. The likes of Darth Vader, the Xenomorph, and HAL 9000 all come from the world of science fiction. The bad guys in these worlds can often seem other-worldly, which adds to their terrifying nature. The 2000s saw a number of influential and impactful sci-fi films being released, which meant some new sci-fi villains being introduced....

A new Avengers: Endgame TV spot hit during Super Bowl LIII on Sunday and it showed some interesting new scenes from the upcoming movie. According to Marvel, this is the movie that will end the current Avengers run and likely will see names like Iron Man and Captain America check out one way or another. The new clip was very short but had a lot of interesting shots to give hints at what is to come....

Despite the dozens of remakes that do get churned out in Hollywood, there are just as many that end up stuck in development hell. Remakes might have a terrible reputation, due to the fact that most of them are pointless and fail to be anywhere near as good as the original, but there is the occasional diamond in the rough. If a director has a unique vision for how to reimagine or recontextualize a story, or an old movie’s effects are updated with modern CGI technology, they can justify their own existence and even be pretty decent movies....

Fans of the master of horror Stephen King are enjoying a new wave of cinematic adaptations after the record-breaking success of It: Chapter One, with many of his novels and short story collections being mined for the next big hit. This wave is not a new phenomenon, as every decade has seen its own share of adaptations, though some turned out better than others. Carrie was King’s first published novel and first film adaptation back in 1976 and since then we’ve seen almost 50 film and TV adaptations, so there are bound to be a few bad apples among the bunch....

As an actor that rose to stardom on sheer affability, he graduated from teenage rom-coms in his twenties to adult rom-coms in his thirties. At 49, Paul Rudd seemed an unlikely candidate to play Ant-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But taking a look back at some highlights from his varied film career, it’s not hard to see why Marvel Studios wanted to include the versatile actor in its cohort....

Since the 1970s, horror and science fiction have been populated with a type of film called a social thriller. These genre movies tell stories about societal oppression as well as discuss injustices in everyday life. The topics discussed in these films vary, but they include class, environmentalism, gender, politics, race, religion, and sex. The social thriller has been an important part of cinema for decades, but in recent years, they have received more attention from the media....

No matter how much Star Trek fans (understandably) hate to admit it, there is life after Star Trek. Particularly for the actors who put their hearts and souls into creating it. Afterwards, many of the best actors can be found in other shows. And, luckily, there are quite a few shows that collect Trekkie cameos like Yugi-Oh cards. Makes them better shows, honestly. While many favorite Treks are over, until the CBS Trek renaissance gets kicking, fans’ll just have to get extra fandom kicks seeing their faves in these other adventures....

When the 2018-2019 television season first started back in September, NBC’s Manifest quickly became one of the biggest hit series, and certainly one of the most talked about ones. The series follows a group of individuals who vanished on a flight five and a half years ago (to the rest of the world), while to them, it was merely a few minutes of turbulence. The parallels with Lost and other similar high concept genre fiction series were immediately drawn, but at least in the first half of the season, the series was able to stand on its own and prove that it had more to say....

However, if you think that you need to fork out thousands of dollars to get a logo designed for your brand, think again. Google did not spend a dollar to create its original logo. Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, used GIMP, a free image editor, to come up with a logo design. At least, that’s how one of the stories goes. Since then, many free logo maker apps and generators have appeared as alternatives....

More than 15 years ago, a little horror film came from nowhere to burst out on the scene – and we’re talking really little: small budget, small cast, unknown filmmakers. That little film was The Blair Witch Project. Granted, not everybody loves it, but it was a huge hit and earned widespread critical acclaim. It was the story of three young people and their trek into spooky New England woods to document the legend of the Blair Witch....

Some say that there’s no new story under the sun - storytellers just tell the same stories over and over again while changing the details. While it’s difficult to say where one story ends and the next begins, there are storytellers who draw direct inspiration from older stories, revitalizing ancient tales with modern elements or interpretations. As technology changes how stories are told, there are additional resources and avenues for storytellers to utilize in order to bring stories to life; film as a medium has made it possible to take stories that were passed down orally or through writing and bring them to audiences visually and immersively....

How I Met Your Mother still holds a special place in the hearts of many fans - even though the finale will be remembered as one of the most controversial sitcom finales of the decade. Aside from that, it’s worth remembering why it was such a fun show in the first place: because, well, it was hilarious. The first season saw them test out several ideas before eventually diving headfirst into a whole host of different storylines, and today, we want to try and pick out ten moments that really got us giggling....

The MCU has brought audiences some amazing pairs and friendships. From romances to buddies to best friends, there are many pairings in the MCU that fans have loved.
