Technology can be difficult to authentically portray on screen. Specifically, examples of computer technology and social media in movies often feel cheesy and contrived. Think about how many times in films we’ve seen a supposedly novice computer geek hack into a complicated computer system, or seen a character luckily guess the exact right password to enter a locked security system. Not to mention how characters are always miraculously able to freeze, enlarge, and enhance images from even basic security footage....

Once Upon a Time rapidly evolved into the darling of the ABC Network as both nostalgic adults and fantasy-enamored youth flocked to the re-imagined fairy tales in the modern world. Part of the show’s allure stemmed from the familiar stories and the need to find out just how every tale might pan out each week, but an even larger aspect that quickly grew the fan base was simply the characters themselves....

The 1990s and 2000s were really the peak of teen television entertainment. If the 1980s had been the decade of movies made for teens, the subsequent two decades showed a marked turn toward entertaining teenagers on the small screen, as well. While the 1990s were filled with soap after soap, including 90210 and Melrose Place, the television of the 2000s zeroed in on the stereotypical high school melodrama unlike any other era of television before it....

Chosen Ones are all over pop culture and even religion, from Jesus Christ to the Dalai Lama. They’re characters of destiny, often foretold by prophecy to become great leaders or bringers of profound change to the world,. In some cases their scope even reaches out to have galactic consequences. Often, they are not born into greatness. They come from humble beginnings (so they’re relatable to the audience) to achieve profound prominence, most often to save the world or galaxy from some great, oppressive force of evil....

Ghosts have often been the stuff of nightmares, appearing when you least expect and tormenting to the very core.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, sometimes ghosts in shows and movies can be all you need for a nightmare infused night. With all the special effects and realistic makeup jobs, the ghosts look more real than ever, terrorizing us just as much as the people on the show....

While the Marvel Cinematic Universe has perfected the art of the Post Credits scene, the House Of Ideas isn’t remotely the first movie to ever have one. That honor goes to the Dean Martin pic, The Silencers from 1966. This post-credit scene featured Martin’s Matt Helm with a bevy of beauties and the caption that “Matt Helm Will Return.” There are all kinds of ways to do a post-credits scene. Some movies do bloopers, some do outright teases for the next movie, and some are callbacks to other scenes in the movie (eating shawarma in the original Avengers)....

Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story is a horror anthology series that premiered in 2011. So far, there are 11 seasons of the series and it has been renewed for at least two more, so we’re pretty excited that we have more spooky seasons to enjoy and theorize about. The best part of the show being an anthology series is that viewers can pick and choose the seasons that interest them or watch all of them in whatever order they want....

The 90s were a great time filled with kids still playing outside, CD players, and actually hanging up the phone when you were done with a call. The 90s gave us so many great games, fashion, bands, and TV shows. Sitcoms were everywhere in the 90s with shows like Friends and Seinfeld becoming pop culture icons. But those weren’t the only two series that had fans quoting lines, copying outfits and hairstyles, and laughing at the characters’ shenanigans....

After acquiring 21st Century Fox earlier this year, Disney is eager to get its money’s worth by rebooting pretty much every franchise it now has the rights to: Alien, X-Men, Home Alone, Night at the Museum, Fantastic Four, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the list goes on. One title that has come up again and again in these discussions is Planet of the Apes. Matt Reeves pretty much nailed the last Planet of the Apes reboot, but that was The Dark Knight trilogy version of Planet of the Apes — it was one director’s unique take on that concept....

Board games: an essential pillar of the household. They both unite and divide us, building friendships and sometimes tearing them down. Many a family squabble has started due to the results of what started as a simple night of innocent gaming. Love them or hate them, board games have played a pretty big role in our lives. We associate them with a night around the kitchen table, but as of late, they’ve taken on a new form: feature films....

When it comes to the Twilight franchise, most people either love or hate the films as well as the books they are based on.

The way that movies have depicted disabilities of all sorts ranges from spot-on to downright offensive. Blindness in particular has been a fairly free-game disability to portray in an offensive manner without any repercussions or backlash. But why? The daily struggles to get by in a world that doesn’t accommodate for blind people are incredibly difficult. So why are the blind portrayed so comically and inaccurately in films? Luckily, there are a handful of really good movies out there that depict blindness in a way that doesn’t mock or downplay the struggles of the visually impaired....

Last year, the Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody blew the doors off of movie theaters everywhere, delivering a pulse-pounding, fist-pumping ode to one of the greatest rock bands of all time and its frontman. After winning a slew of awards, including a few Oscars, it’s natural for many fans to ask whether or not their favorite bands and singers deserve such an honor. While biopics on famous musicians isn’t anything new, Bohemian Rhapsody took the genre to new heights, infusing Mercury’s story with blockbuster production values and a healthy dose of fan service....

It’s no secret that Stranger Things takes influence from the stories that came before. Elements of Spielberg and Stephen King dominated the first two seasons, while season three took heavy influence from the works of George A. Romero, John Carpenter, and Sam Raimi, to name just a few. Rather than merely ripping off that which came before, Stranger Things has decided to honor its predecessors and influences with a myriad of references....

Comic-book adaptations have been a staple in the film industry since Tim Burton’s Batman in 1989 and with the unprecedented success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, superheroes have been the trend for over a decade. However, the constant stream of Marvel and DC related films have left some viewers with superhero fatigue. In the wake of successful comic book adaptations, such as Riverdale, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Preacher, it could be time for more non-superhero related comics to hit our screens....

The Resident Evil movie franchise is a polarizing facet of the property for fans of the games. Some bemoan their existence and how far they stray from the source materials, while others appreciate them as mindless fun. They are entertaining thrill rides for the most part, though a couple of them certainly lack the same energy as the others.

HBO’s Watchmen was a fantastic follow-up to Alan Moore’s original comic book series. We honestly don’t get tired of singing the show’s praises. It’s that good. However, certain aspects of the show remain clouded from our understanding. Even readers of the original comic book can get a tad confused about the way the world works in HBO’s Watchmen. But part of the major draw of Watchmen, funnily enough, is how things go unexplained....
