TV and movie fans can’t seem to get enough of the mysterious mythos surrounding the horrific idea of zombies. Gaining in popularity since George Romero’s 1968 cult film Night of the Living Dead, stories of the deceased coming back to life have flooded TV and movie screens worldwide. Eventually gaining the term “zombie”, the appearance of these creatures signals the beginning of the now popular term “zombie apocalypse”. Although various films have depicted the aftermath of such an occurrence, the world found in Zombieland certainly stands out from the others....

True Blood, created by Alan Ball, and based on the Charlaine Harris books, was one of HBO’s most popular shows. While most of it was solid, there were some parts of the show that became infuriating to fans and were viewed as a mess. Despite that, the show retained its fanbase, who watched the show regardless of the issues that saw it slow to a sometimes painful slog, especially in its last season....

Since premiering in 2008 on HBO, True Blood quickly became one of the most beloved – but also one of the most hated – television series of all time. The premise was simple: what would society look like if vampires lived among us? However, over time, other human-like creatures with special abilities were also introduced – some to the benefit of the show, and others to the disapproval of the fans....

One of the headline features of the two iPhone 12 Pro models is the LiDAR scanner. Night mode Portrait photos had already impressed me, and an app to create 3D scans of your home has now done so, too. Canvas is an iPhone app that you can use to scan your rooms, and then pay a modest fee to have them turned into professional CAD models that can be used to help remodel your home....

Season 2 saw our favorite friendship falling apart. By the end of Season 2, Trish spiraled into self-righteousness, seemingly becoming addicted to it as she had once been addicted to substances. In addition, she had tried to transform into a superhero herself, by being experimented upon to gain powers. The experiment put her in a coma, temporarily. However, Trish’s worst offense was killing Jessica’s mom. True, Jessica’s mom was a criminal, and Trish thought she was protecting Jess by ending her....

NOTE: This article contains SPOILERS for Arrow Season 5 - The launch of the DC Comics Universe’s company-wide “Rebirth” may have begun with The Flash, but with a few months under its belt, it’s hard to argue that Batman is among the biggest winners. Scott Snyder’s departure from the core Batman series was a hard blow to endure, but Tom King has delivered some incredible twists of his own - not to mention an unforgettable night between Batman and Catwoman....

Following comic book writer, artist, and entrepreneur Todd McFarlane’s recent appearance on AMC’s Geeking Out talk show, the creator of the original comic book superhero character and franchise that is Spawn has resumed hyping the long-awaited reboot of the property on the big screen. With a final draft of the new feature film’s script reportedly on its way to being completed, fans of the classic Image Comics character may finally be getting a new Spawn movie, following the 1997 film (starring Michael Jai Courtney and John Leguziamo)....

Maybe it’s just because we’re major Harry Potter fans, but whenever we watch anything, whether it’s something as entertaining as Game of Thrones, or even if it’s just something as boring as an informercial, we have a habit of sorting the characters into Hogwarts houses. Alright, so maybe it’s more than a habit at this point, maybe it’s actually an obsession, but let’s not nitpick. Instead, let’s take a look at these 10 characters from everyone’s favorite Breaking Bad spin-off (wait, isn’t it the only Breaking Bad spin-off?...

As with movies, no one sets out to make bad TV show. Producers, actors, writers, whoever - they all usually want to make it as good and as popular as possible. It therefore makes perfect sense to stick with recognizable franchises. The spinoff is one of the time-honored ways of extending a franchise by exploring the original story’s universe through the perspective of some of the lesser known characters. More than any other genre, science fiction, with its rich world-building and expansive universes, is a natural fit for spinoffs....

The superhero genre has taken over the film industry in recent years, thanks in no small part to the spectacular action sequences at the core of the movies. The impending release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice looks to continue that trend, as it features what might be the most anticipated superhero brawl of all time. With the release of Captain America: Civil War also in our very near future, we decided to collect our favorite jaw-dropping brawls from the cinematic worlds of Marvel, DC, and everything in between....

March 2016 will be remembered as the month that Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice finally hit theaters, and while the Zack Snyder film may have received a – ahem – mixed reception from critics and fans alike, at least most moviegoers can agree that the box office success of Disney’s Zootopia and surprise pseudo-sequel 10 Cloverfield Lane was well-deserved. The weeks ahead may not hold a film with as much hype behind it as the aforementioned superhero smackdown – as comic book fans bide their time until the May debut of Captain America: Civil War – but rest assured that there are plenty of worthwhile releases to check out at your local cineplex....

While last month saw Ride Along 2 and Kung Fu Panda 3 emerge as the biggest box office successes, January followed the month’s tradition of unleashing a relatively underwhelming slate of new films. Awards contenders continue to draw attention, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens closed the month with a worldwide gross of $2 billion in its sights. However, February has a much more competitive selection of films ahead, including the first of many comic book films coming this year, a pair of much-delayed sequels and a world wherein Jane Austen heroines face off against the undead....

Have you ever wondered if there was more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking? Well I have a news flash for you, Walter Cronkite: Derek Zoolander and Hansel wonder that too, and they’re back in action in Zoolander 2. Zoolander hit theaters a decade and a half ago, in 2001, and quickly became a cult classic. Following the trend of several other franchise revivals, Zoolander 2 picks up in close-to-real-time after the ending of its predecessor, so you may need to catch up on a few things....

It’s easy to think that it doesn’t take much to spot which TV shows were expensive to make. Common sense dictates that the massive epic fantasies must take a huge budget to produce, so the shows more grounded in reality are probably cheaper to make—right? While this is solid logic, it actually isn’t always true. Sure, some of the TV shows that were super expensive to make are easy to point out, but some on this list are actually pretty surprising and will definitely give you pause as you wonder why they were so expensive!...

Whether you love a character or just love to hate them, everyone in a movie deserves a death that means something. But it doesn’t always work out that way, and instead we wind up with some antagonists we wanted to see suffer get taken down with ease, or heroes who are brushed aside rather than getting a brave sacrifice. Some filmmakers know how to use an anticlimax to positive effect, and a few instances of that will get special mention in this list....

Star Wars would be nothing without its Droids. In this galaxy, Droids are everywhere, operating in all sorts of functions that humans are either too scared or lazy to perform. They are also some of the most memorable characters from the Star Wars movies. Of all the characters in the original trilogy, who can forget the role that C-3Po and R2-D2 play in saving the galaxy? Today we take a look at 12 of the best and most important droids ever created....

Oscar season is upon us, and it’s anyone’s guess who will take home the coveted golden statues. Each year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominate the best of the best for their achievements in acting, directing, editing, cinematography and special effects, with 2017 being no different. Films like Moonlight, Manchester by the Sea and Arrival have racked up a number of nominations, while La La Land has tied the record for the most nominations in one year....

ABC’s sitcom Roseanne has enjoyed a long legacy of success. The show was met with record ratings with its first season back in 1988, drawing high praise from television critics and viewers at home alike. The series following the ordinary working-class family of protagonist Roseanne Conner quickly became one of America’s most beloved series, running for nine seasons until 1997. Fans across the country rejoiced when ABC revived the sitcom for a tenth season to air in 2018....
