Star Wars: The Force Awakens is out, and it is killing it. The latest film in the beloved, long-running sci-fi franchise is sure to continue to set record numbers at the box office. It will be a while until the worldwide figures for Star Wars are settled, but even without a little help from a galaxy far, far away, 2015 had some monster hits at the box office. While there were some that failed miserably, others reached record heights....
When Pixar started, they were not about selling cuteness but were instead a company built on creating some of the best stories in animated film history. They succeeded on a high level from the start with the Toy Story movies, and while there was a rare bump along the way (A Bug’s Life), they ended up creating a long line of critically acclaimed films that matched up well with anything in theaters....
Every movie in the MCU so far has been leading up to Thanos’ reign of destruction. Now that Tony Stark has seen the Mad Titan and his friends off, the fans’ burning question is: who is going to be the MCU’s next big villain? Thanos will be a tough one to top, since he’s one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Comics canon and he literally beat the Avengers at the end of Infinity War, which was something we’d never seen before – there’s an unwritten rule in superhero cinema that the good guys have to win....
New Girl wrapped up its 7th season in 2018, closing the series with a total of 146 episodes! While this show is known for its quirky characters, long-running jokes, and relatable themes, we definitely laughed along with the main characters from the first episode to the very last. However, not all jokes age great, and even though this show is only a year past its end date, we’re already cringing at some of the one-liners....

A trait that appears to hold true in person, it seems like everyone wants to have a little bit of The Rock in their life.

That said, there are other people that have played a part in his life that he no longer interacts with regularly, in some cases due to negative feelings between them....
Son Goku’s signature orange gi is synonymous with Dragon Ball. His look is one of the most iconic in the entire medium, influencing shonen protagonist character design for decades to come. What’s more, Goku’s most influential outfit wasn’t even his first. His trademark gi is one that Goku doesn’t get until roughly halfway through the second story arc. From there, he dons it right up until the end of the series....

The 2010s has been a huge decade for movie trailers, but what are the very best? As the decade approaches its end, it’s time to look back upon all the biggest and best movie trailers that have left their mark from 2010-2019. The past decade hasn’t just brought with it some major movie trailers, but it’s also changed the way we consume them. While trailers have long been an integral part of a movie’s marketing, with the likes of 1989’s Batman using them to great effect, that’s gone up another level in the 2010s, especially thanks to the rise of YouTube and social media....

The latest development for Activision Blizzard is yet another scandalous one, as a law firm has announced that it will be investigating claims that individuals in the company have committed securities fraud or other illegal activity. The news adds on to Blizzard’s woes, which have piled on in recent months. It’s been hard to escape the feeling that something’s amiss at Blizzard: the company is expanding its buyouts of employees, seemingly to cut costs; executives are leaving in droves; and a former employee has made allegations of racist abuse suffered while working there....

Led by Daisy Johnson aka Quake (Chloe Bennet), S.H.I.E.L.D. began actively recruiting new Inhumans to be part of this squad. Along their journey, Daisy recruited Joey Gutierrez (Juan Pablo Raba), Elena ‘Yo-Yo’ Rodriguez (Natalia Cordova-Buckley), and her at-the-time love interest Lincoln Campbell (Luke Mitchell) to be part of the team....

Mack has been forced into an uneasy partnership with Sarge and his team, with the fate of the planet potentially on the line.

Disney is something we hold near and dear to many of our hearts, something that provides guidance in good times and bad....

13 Reasons Why executive producer Brian Yorkey teases what fans of the Netflix original series should expect from season 2. There’s no denying the incredible cultural impact that 13 Reasons Why season 1 seemed to have, following its debut on Netflix earlier this year. Based on Jay Asher’s young adult novel of the same name, the show followed the story of Hannah Baker, a teenage girl who decides to take her own life, but not before recording a series of cassette tapes which she would leave behind for all those she said had forced her to make such a drastic decision....

Some films require a second watch in order to be fully understood, while other movies may offer a completely different experience the second time through. A late character or plot reveal may change the entire dynamic of the story. On the other hand, quick, information-packed dialogue may be hard to fully grasp in just one take for even the most cerebral of audiences. This list counts down the films that moviegoers absolutely must revisit....
One of the best and most unique things about professional wrestling (or “sports entertainment” as the WWE insists we call it) is the way that it blurs the lines between what’s real and what’s not. Fans are a lot more clued in to WWE’s tricks than they were back in the good ol’ days, and so the company has to work that much harder to try and convince us that what we’re seeing has an element of realism to it....
The ‘90s were a crazy time for television. Though it was a period when basic network sitcoms weren’t played out yet and could still be successful, it was also a time when extremely random ideas still happened in smaller supply. Furthermore, the ‘90s have gained a certain significance with the recent bout of sequelized reboots, as many fans still want to see where ‘90s characters are now. There’s a fascination with this era that gives it a strong power over viewers....
Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War is finally upon us. That also means that the Mad Titan himself is making his way to our universe. That’s right, Thanos is going to create some chaos and start stealing some shiny little stones for his Infinity Gauntlet.
