With Fox’s ninth X-Men film, X-Men: Apocalypse, now in the record books, it’s time to look to the future, to the next film. As with every previous film, Apocalypse injected new mutants into the fray, namely Jubilee, Psylocke, and new takes on fan favorites like Jean Grey, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, and Storm, but there are still dozens of mutants out there that haven’t made the jump from the comics to the silver screen yet....
When you are playing Pokémon with your friends, there are usually no rules or stipulations when choosing a team. In the old days, this usually meant a battle between people who were using the same team that they completed the single player mode with, against a player with a team full of legendaries. What most players did not realise at the time was that not all Pokémon are created equally. The stats that make up a Pokémon are based on numerous factors....
There have been so many technological innovations since Star Trek premiered in 1966, that an inventory of Trek devices that HAVE been created is a never-ending task. The minute the new AirPods were announced, memes started appearing all over the web showing Uhura and Spock with their earpieces in, insisting that the technology dates back to the 1960s. Even our day-to-day tech makes some of Star Trek’s devices look outdated, since we have phones in our pockets that take pictures, send messages, stream video, and access data from all over the world....
The Arrowverse has lasted for about seven years. Over the course of those years and four connected series, fans have seen a lot of characters come and go. Sometimes, it’s been met with jubilation. Other times, it’s one of the saddest things an audience has ever seen, but that’s the nature of the game in television: actors have other projects they want to pursue, characters have run out their story arcs, or the show itself just decides to go in a different direction....
At the end of Infinity War, we lost some of our favorite and most beloved superheroes. We watched as Captain America lost his best friend, Wakanda said goodbye to their mighty king, and Rocket’s adorable son said his last words. As darkness consumed the light and evil defeat good, we all also lost hope and all sense of direction. However, it’s time that we focus on the here and now, and imagine how the remaining heroes can bring back the dusted Avengers and ultimately save the universe....
Tetris has found a new world champion in the form of 16-year-old prodigy Joseph Saelee. Tetris is, of course, the classic video game in which players have to sort rapidly descending tiles in order to form complete lines. The puzzle game was first completed in 1984 and was rapidly released on home consoles and in arcades around the world. It didn’t truly hit the mainstream, however, until it was released on the Gameboy in 1989....
Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a refreshing take on the comic, giving an updated, woke perspective to the story that isn’t only a breath of fresh air for the series, but for media in general. The original saccharine series was certainly funny and light, but this dark new entity is addictive and delicious, embracing fans from every corner with its representation and delivering unique chills and thrills that the original certainly avoided....
The Final Fantasy series has graced many different systems over the years. With the notable exception of Sega, you can find a Final Fantasy on Nintendo, Sony, and Xbox consoles. The series has existed for nearly thirty years, and the games have competed for sales with the likes of Super Mario Bros, Metal Gear Solid, and Halo 3. The Final Fantasy series has had to evolve, and change how we look at RPGs....
If you’ve managed to set aside the countless hours necessary to read A Song of Ice and Fire, the series that inspired Game of Thrones, you’re familiar with how many storylines are woven together. The complexity is exactly why some fans were drawn to the series in the first place – it’s an experience that demands to be revisited if you ever want to understand everything. Obviously, not every storyline is equally important....
Casting can make or break any movie, but the stakes are even higher when it comes to the superhero genre. Could you imagine, for example, if Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight had starred Jared Leto in place of Heath Ledger? Now try to picture the X-Men movies with anyone other than Hugh Jackman in the role of Wolverine. It might be difficult to imagine but it very nearly happened. And on more than one occasion too....
Fan art can truly be an amazing thing. By taking some artistic liberties and approaching a property with a wild and interesting aesthetic, a family-friendly franchise can become dark, and a cute and cuddly character like Mario can become a horrific abomination. Take it a step further, characters and settings can be reimagined as a whole new genre. Cartoon characters can be envisioned within the real world, and sci-fi heroes can be plunged into a world of medieval fantasy....
It’s been nearly four years since Sons of Anarchy drove off into the sunset – or more appropriately, into the front of an oncoming semi-truck. Despite the modern renaissance of television, where hundreds of new episodes seem to be available every day, many devoted fans are still thinking about the grim reaper patch-wearing biker gang out of Charming, California. In a year when reality competitions, such as Desperate Housewives, and Two and a Half Men dominated the primetime landscape, Sons of Anarchy stuck out like a custom motorcycle tailing a funeral procession....
Where there’s a TV show with a dedicated fan base, there’s a bunch of fan theories about the hidden truths and secrets that could be lurking between the lines or in the untold backstory of the characters. The whole “They were dead the entire time” fan theory has been overdone – and there’s someone on Reddit who has suggested that for pretty much every TV show that’s ever existed, from Friends to Rugrats....
Putting together this list was more challenging than you’d think. There are almost as many different ways for a title to go wrong as there are for movies to go wrong, and so we opted for an educational smorgasbord: no two movies on this list are bad in quite the same way twice To be clear, we’re not really interested in the “so-bad-they’re-good” titles like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies!...
Typically, you think of films being inspired by books. Or, in some cases, films having a novelization created after the fact. Something you may well overlook is the relationship between the big screen and the theater. There are various theater productions that were turned into films and various films that have since been adapted for the stage. We’ve collected five times where the film was better than the stage show, and five times where the stage show beat the film....
If you don’t agree by now that Avengers: Endgame has redefined what’s possible within a filmmaking universe, then you’re obviously incapable of admitting you’re wrong. While ending arguably one of the biggest story arcs ever to be undertaken in a franchise, Endgame has laid waste to box office records all over the world. And when something of this magnitude comes about - especially when it’s a direct sequel to another film of incredible scale - it’s going to invite a lot of close scrutiny from moviegoers, critics and fans alike....
Director J.A. Bayona is going to enter the Hollywood big leagues in a major when now that he’s signed on to helm Jurassic World 2, but before he crafts another thrilling adventure with dinosaurs, he has a very different kind of effects-heavy film coming out for this year’s awards season. We speak of A Monster Calls, the adaptation of the best selling novel by Patrick Ness. It tells the story of a young boy named Conor (Lewis MacDougall) who seeks the aid of a tree monster (Liam Neeson) to cope with his mother’s (Felicity Jones) terminal illness....

Aladdin 2019 remembers its roots with a subtle nod to Robin Williams. News of a live-action Aladdin movie was not greeted warmly by many fans, who argued that as one of Disney’s greatest ever movies, Aladdin was the one film that didn’t need the live-action treatment. Still, the movie went ahead with Guy Ritchie as the director, and the new take on Aladdin is now in theaters. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, the reviews are not too bad, with most agreeing that this version of Aladdin is actually better than the initial trailers would have us believe....
