For the last year, Hollywood has been taken by storm by one leading lady more than any other: Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot. Ever since the blockbuster hit wowed audiences around the world, netting nearly a billion dollars in the process, the world has fallen in love with Gadot, for her talents and personality both. Long before Hollywood would fall in love with the 32-year-old Israeli actress, however, Israeli real estate developer Yaron Versano (in some instances written as Jaron Varsano) would fall in love with her, almost at first sight, as Gadot recalls it....

Fan theories are now as much a part of the entertainment industry as anything else. There’s a certain satisfaction in spotting a storyline development before it’s revealed. In a way, it makes you feel as if you’re in sync or the same headspace as the writers and showrunners. It’s also a fun way to interact with the community. Go to any TV show’s Reddit page and you’ll find hundreds of theories and speculations on any given day....

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that the books are always better than the movies. It’s simple fact that films usually can’t live up to everyone’s expectations. While the Harry Potter movie franchise is widely loved by fans, it still falls under this rule. Where the books have hundreds of pages to stretch out their story, the movies just can’t fit all the details, characters, and storylines into their 2+ hour run time....

The five highest-grossing animated films of all time are from this decade – 2013’s Frozen, 2015’s Minions, 2010’s Toy Story 3, 2017’s Despicable Me 3, and 2016’s Finding Dory – which means that Hollywood is not slowing down on its production of movies in this genre. On the contrary, it is only inscreasing. With that said, 2019 and beyond is shaping up to become one of the busiest periods in the history of animated movies....

Agent Carter is dead. Despite praise from critics and adoration from fans, the spunky kid sister of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is one of a number of shows to get the axe in recent weeks. Naturally, its fans are not happy about this. To borrow a line from Game of Thrones, though, “What is dead may never die.” At least, that’s the case in the current TV climate, where once a show is canceled by a network there is still a very strong possibility it might be picked up by a sister network or a streaming video service....

Her show is now on its sixteenth season, and she has used her fame and power to do amazing things....

Without Mel Brooks, comedy simply wouldn’t be the same. His works turned low-brow humor and vulgarity into sophisticated art. From the early years growing up in Brooklyn, Mel always had a knack for making people laugh. He also had a penchant for music, having worked as a drummer in his teens. After serving in the US army disarming landmines during World War II, he took on comedy full time, working in clubs and an occasional radio stint before becoming a writer on Your Show of Shows....

“God is dead.” In three words, Friedrich Nietzsche declared the end of the almighty. In AMC’s upcoming and hotly anticipated new drama, Preacher, the protagonist strives to fulfill Nietzsche’s vision. In short, Preacher is a comic-book-turned-TV series about killing God. For the American Movie Channel, whose scripted dramas are founded on such phenomena as Breaking Bad and Mad Men, these will be their highest stakes to date. Premiering on May 22, you have several weeks to check out the source material and gear up for the release of what will surely be cable television’s most graphic, scandalous and shocking material....

In the months leading up to the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, fans spent a lot of time theorizing about what might happen in the new film.

Moviegoers are now beginning the wait for Episode 8, and they’re going back to what they do best: speculating about Star Wars....

The first trailer for Assassin’s Creed finally came out late last week, and expectations for the adaption of the popular video game series are already running high. Fans are hoping that this could be one of the first successful films based on a game, and maybe even be the start of a film franchise.

If your program is about time travel, there are bound to be plot holes, so it stands to reason that Doctor Who is riddled with them. Many of these plot holes aren’t even time related, however, and merely point to overlooked details or dropped stories. From Davros’s reality bomb that had to go off in some parallel universe to supposedly fixed points in time constantly changing, rules are often broken on the show, leaving gaping plot voids the serpent in the Thames could easily pass through....

After two very controversial seasons, 13 Reasons Why will return for Season 3, Netflix has confirmed. Originally based on the book of the same name by Jay Asher, 13 Reasons Why exhausted its source material in Season 1, and branched out on its own for Season 2 under showrunner Brian Yorkey. The show originally told the story of Hannah Baker, and her decision to commit suicide.

Throughout time, there have been some seriously great superhero television shows. Batman from the 1960s is a classic, the 1990s was filled with great cartoons like Spider-Man and X-Men, and heck, even the first season of Heroes was great. Today, we have the Arrowverse on the CW and Marvel Originals on Netflix that are filled with way more hits than misses. However, they can’t all be winners, can they? Of course not, for every Batman, there’s an Automan....
