Sailor Moon was a manga series before it became an incredibly popular anime. The anime crossed the pond to get an English dubbed version in the mid-90s.

The Internet Movie Database allows registered users to rate any movie or television program on the site once they’ve been released to the public....

Rockstar is one of the gaming industry’s top-tier AAA developers and has maintained its place through many industry-defining titles. Although Red Dead Redemption, Bully, and Max Payne 3 earned them plenty of acclaim, it’s their Grand Theft Auto series that brought them to the upper echelon of developers. Why is this? Well, for those who have played any installment in the series, the answer’s obvious: each game offers its own engaging, superbly-polished experience....
The Shawshank Redemption is an enduringly popular movie about escaping prison and the nature of justice. It received seven Oscar nominations and, in the years since, it has reached the number one spot on IMDB’s list of top movies and prime place in pop culture. It’s hard to believe that, when it first hit cinemas in 1994, it was a commercial failure. At the Oscars, too, it failed to deliver on any of the nominations thanks to Forrest Gump’s clean sweep....

You’d have a pretty hard time of it if you tried to make the case that The Big Bang Theory is actually a romantic comedy. Sure, there are central couples in the series that viewers have been expected to root for all along, and there are plenty of romantic moments along the way, but nothing about the series as a whole screams that this is a show about romance – or, for that matter, people who are any good at understanding what it means to be in a relationship and to love someone....

Blockbusters continued their reign at the box office and many stars came attached with it. These stars not only became household names and made classic movies, but they pulled in some huge paychecks....
