Some people prefer books, some people prefer movies. But we say, why do we have to pick? Every time we hear a beloved novel is getting its own screen adaptation, we get the warm fuzzies inside. And sure, it could just be acid reflux, or maybe even allergies, but we prefer to think it’s something a lot nicer than a health issue. Seeing books get made into movies is what we live for, whether it’s a classic literary icon or a fairly recent best-seller....

TLC has had a lot of reality television over the years. From baking shows, home improvement shows, family shows, and more, there’s something for everyone on TLC if you’re into reality TV. The channel has also had its fair share of controversial television shows that have caused a lot of discussions. Some of the shows that fans loved the most aren’t on the air anymore, so we’re taking a look at the best past TLC shows that deserve a comeback....

With the eighth season of The Walking Day officially wrapped, the zombie show is preparing to undergo some potentially big changes moving forward. With stars Lauren Cohan and Andrew Lincoln reportedly on their way out and Danai Gurira’s contract also expiring soon, the cast could be experiencing a major shake-up, forcing the writing staff to restructure the post-apocalyptic world they’ve created. For the remaining castmates, the sudden challenges moving forward are nothing new....

If you enjoyed the first season of Supergirl, you were probably a little dismayed when the story broke that CBS might not renew it for a second season. But the big news more recently in the world of superhero TV shows is that Supergirl will be returning for a second season after all – but on The CW. Of course, there are some conditions to this. The show will have a smaller budget, and it will lose some of the supposed prestige of airing on one of the major networks....

When you get right down to it, supervillains should be the most terrifying thing in the universe. The idea of these tremendous sources of power that have decided to channel their abilities for evil is pretty damn intimidating. The severity of supervillains varies, but some make a whole performance out of their wickedness. Supervillains such as Dr. Doom, Sinestro, or Carnage wear their villainy on their sleeves. Their names instill fear in their audiences....

Since Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. debuted in 2013, Marvel has been busy adding plenty of quality television (and comic book characters) to our entertainment landscape. For every comic book character that the writers and producers get just right, there are plenty more that fail to deliver. When a televisions series nails a character, audiences are quick to jump on board and claim them as a fan favorite. There’s praise for someone like a Jessica Jones, who fits into the narrative of the universe in the new medium while staying true to her comic book roots....

It’s crazy to think that a low-budget comedy with a punk-rock mentality from the earlier days of the FX Network has somehow turned into the channel’s flagship program. It’s also about to enter its fourteenth season and will therefore share the record for the longest-running live-action comedy series. Against all odds, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has proven itself to be a massive success. It helped to launch the careers of its entire cast and ushered in a more twisted brand of comedy into the mainstream....

Some films go out their way to be offensive, pushing the envelope of good taste even if it means making enemies. But it’s when filmmakers go in with the best intentions that they often create the most offensive material. Even the best filmmakers can suffer momentary lapses of judgement and offend large groups of people with insensitive choices. Here are Screen Rant’s 8 Most Offensive Moments in Popular Movies. Jurassic World While much fuss was made about the silliness of Bryce Dallas Howard’s character running through the jungle in high heels, there was one line that had British comedian known as ‘Guzzy Bear’ boycott the film....

Geoffrey Paschel of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days has reacted to Fans boycotting the show due to his dark past. The father is ignoring all the hate and living his life in the public eye. 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days is a series that prequels TLC’s hit show 90 Day Fiancé. Before all of the visa drama and the 90 days’ time frame for marriage, Before the 90 Days documents the couples meeting each other for the first time in person as they travel far and wide to meet their online loves....

WARNING: the following post contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Captain America: Civil War - Yes, there are a ton of differences between Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Captain America: Civil War, and they originate from more than just the fact that the former is the official launching-off point of the DC Extended Universe and the latter is the 13th(!) entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: there’s been a huge discrepancy in critical opinion, ticket sales, and, even, social media chatter....

It’s been more than a decade since the Harry Potter series came to a close, do you think we’re over it? Pfft! Heck no, we are not. How could we be? With thrilling additions to the Potterverse, like Harry Potter and The Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, there’s still so much to love! Since J.K. Rowling sees fit to continue adding to her mystical, magical universe, what can we do but continue to obsess over it?...

With May 13th falling on a Friday, what better time would there be to take a trip back to Camp Crystal Lake? A media empire that encompasses twelve films, a TV show, novels, comics, and tons of merchandise, the Friday the 13th series is one of the most successful horror franchises ever. The series’ big bad is Jason Voorhees, and his iconic hockey mask has become one of the most instantly recognizable images in popular culture....

Witches may not be as popular a subject of horror movies as vampires or zombies, but their creepiness cannot be denied. If anything, they just might be too unsettling for the average horror movie lover. This February comes The Witch, a horror movie about a 17th century Puritan family slowly succumbing to madness and black magic. The directorial debut of Robert Eggers, The Witch has already been critically praised at Sundance, and looks to capitalize on that with a much buzzed-about premiere this week....

Every actor has at least one role they regret. Nowadays, starring in a superhero movie can equal immediate fame and love from comic book fans. Many stars have found their stardom through superhero movies, like Margot Robbie, Gal Gadot, and Chris Pratt, while other more seasoned actors, Robert Downey Jr comes to mind, have made a comeback through them. However, that isn’t always the case. With so many reboots and interpretations of classic superheroes, there are bound to be some that don’t live up to the fans’ expectations....

With an eight film franchise, there were bound to be a few recasts along the way in the Harry Potterseries. Since many of the films came out before the book series was finished, some Harry Potter actors were cast when little information was known about their roles and where they’d end up. Even if the character they were playing had a name, if they didn’t have any lines or weren’t featured, they were just considered background actors and were cast accordingly....

Listen, we all love the Jedi, dashing rogues, walking carpets, and sarcastic space princesses that make up the Star Wars universe’s roster of heroes. At the end of the day, we all want to see the side of good come out on top and maybe rejoice in their victory with an elaborate series of celebrations that were in no way inserted at the last minute in order to somehow justify the existence of the prequel trilogy....

Mere days before Batman Day (the anniversary of Batman’s first appearance in Detective Comics #27), Zack Snyder revealed the first look at Batman’s Tactical Suit in the upcoming film, Justice League. It marks the fifth Batsuit worn by Bruce Wayne in the DC Extended Universe, of which three were seen in Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It’s no secret that Batman has worn a variety of suits over the decades, not only in comics but also in film and on television....

Batman has built a reputation as a hero who is something of a loner. He sticks to the shadows, he shuts himself off from many of his personal relationships, and he’s so distrustful of other people that he creates contingency plans for how to debilitate even his closest allies. And yet even with the aura of solitude that surrounds Batman, he’s very reliant on other people to keep him alive....

The wide-spread ramifications of the success of the Pokémon anime cannot be understated. The Pokémon franchise helped bring the Japanese aesthetic into mainstream culture. If it weren’t for Pokémon, would we have ever gotten series like Dragon Ball Z or Yu-Gi-Oh? The success of the Pokémon games (coupled with the arrival of Final Fantasy VII around the same time) helped popularize JRPGs in the West. A lot of the media we consume today owes a great deal to Pikachu and his pals coming over from Japan....

It’s easy to fall in love with the fantasy of Outlander. With many profound characters, scenes, and personal journeys, it’s become a standout show with a deserved loyal following. Still, with such a complex historical timeline and series of magical elements, there are bound to be some glaring flaws. As we follow Claire and Jamie on an epic journey through time and many varied settings, questions start to bubble up. It’s bizarre how Claire gets away with certain things, and how some storylines never reach a full resolution, but not all characters act according to logic, either....
