When someone references Sabrina the Teenage Witch, most people think fondly of that goofy, but lovable sitcom from the 1990s that featured Melissa Joan Hart as a teenage witch who spent most of her days trying to fit in, not just in high school, but in a world full of mortals. Along for the ride were her two kooky aunts and their equally as kooky talking cat, Salem. But there is a lot more to Sabrina Spellman than meets the eye....

As the saying goes - he’s the best at what he does, and what he does isn’t nice. But the actor behind Wolverine has done nothing but the sort since X-Men hit theaters in 2000. American audiences were introduced to Hugh Jackman, an actor from Australia who was making his debut. His casting sort of defied a lot of logic, and nowadays he is synonymous with the character. Jackman’s eight films under his belt as the character edges out every actor’s stints as James Bond....

As fans, we often grow attached to celebrity couples. Celebrities seem to represent what we all wish we could be, but they obviously aren’t perfect. They aren’t like the characters they play on TV. Just because we think two people are perfect for each other, doesn’t mean it’s the same way behind closed doors. We saw this happen recently with the news that Anna Faris and Chris Pratt split. They seemed like one of the best couples in Hollywood, but there were certain things that we didn’t see....

It seems that the knowledge a superhero obtains as he or she gets older will make them stronger, but, eventually, that is offset with the effects of age on their body. While many heroes and villains may believe that they can still do anything they want no matter how old they are, in many cases that is nowhere near the truth – even in the world of DC Comics, where many of the heroes are god-like beings....

Diablo 4 is going to be a massive deal for Blizzard who are well aware of that fact - the developer has been keeping information about the game tight to its chest right now, especially with the mobile Diablo Immortal on the horizon first. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t a few details regarding Diablo 4 circulating in the wild however, and what we know currently is exciting enough that fans are already coming back around on the franchise after its recent BlizzCon blunder....

Global AirPods shipments fell by a third in Q3, according to a new market intelligence report today. The figures for Apple include Beats products, but the greatest fall is likely to have been for AirPods, as consumers waited for the third-generation model. However, Apple’s dominance of the true wireless stereo (TWS) headphones market is so great that no other brand came anywhere close to challenging the company’s lead … Canalys defines the TWS market as in-ear headphones without any connecting hardware....

As is the way with most superhero television shows, fans either love a series or hate it based on its adherence to its source material. But whereas most superhero shows are based on a specific superhero, Gotham, the gritty recounting of Jim Gordon’s early years in the Gotham City Police Department, has been a perfect example of this despite not being based on one. For some, a Gotham series without a strong Batman presence is tantamount to sacrilege, while others are more invested in the cast of characters around him than the man himself....

The Simpsons is one of the longest-running programs in television history. With an amazing thirty seasons under its belt, the show has been a pop culture icon for decades and remains one of the most beloved shows off all time. But after all that time, some aspects of the show might not stand up to the test of time. Many Simpsons episodes are timeless and still rewatchable, but there are some that are products of their time....

With San Diego Comic-Con 2019 winding down, it’s time to take a look back at the convention and really appreciate the trailers fans were treated to at the event. One of the trailers that fans have been talking about for days has to be It Chapter 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved Stephen King film. The second film is set in the second half of the novel’s narrative, with a now-adult Loser’s Club returning to Derry to stop Pennywise once and for all....

iPad reviews have landed for Apple’s 10th-generation entry-level model, and they are somewhat mixed. The main feeling is that the price means the new model sits somewhat uncomfortably between the 9th generation – which Apple still sells – and the iPad Air. Whether it’s worth the money is something on which reviewers don’t agree, some saying that this is the new default iPad, while others think you should go for the older model or the Air, depending on the features you want …...

At Screen Rant, we love movies. Even bad ones. Sometimes, especially the bad ones. Who would ever want to go back to a time before we knew of The Room or Birdemic? Not us. We have a certain infatuation, bordering on obsession, with finding bad movies and dissecting them, trying to get the bottom of what went wrong, while simultaneously asking ourselves, “If this movie is so bad, why does watching it somehow feel so good?...

The official teaser trailer for Power Rangers dropped onto the web this morning, giving the world its first real look at the new faces of Jason, Kimberly, Tommy, Zack, and Trini, as well as a better idea of what kind of world the new Power Rangers are going to occupying — and even a taste of the threat they will face. Though plenty of stills, images, and interviews have appeared online throughout the last year, this is the first opportunity that fans have to get a good look at the movie, which will hit theaters on March 24, 2017....

Thanks to the unimaginable success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, everyone in the world knows who Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) is, famously played by Robert Downey Jr. Fans may love him for his personality, but it’s his genius-level intellect that makes him such a valuable asset to the Avengers. As evidenced over the course of several movies (and decades of comics), Tony Stark is a scientific genius, someone who’s capable of creating the most advanced technology the world has ever seen....

The age of computer effects and digital movie universes is upon us, but the average moviegoer might not realize just how much of the experience is faked, or modified. With that in mind, we’re giving another dose of CGI trivia in the latest edition of Screen Rant’s Know Your Movies: 20 Movies Scenes Before and After CGI. The Revenant The scene in which Leonardo DiCaprio’s character is attacked by a bear made headlines fast, but the whole event seems a lot less frightening when you get a look at who played the bear: along with the blue bodysuit and bear helmet to complete the look....

It’s been a really good couple of years for the Spider-Man franchise. After a disastrous end to the Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire series and an equally confusing and frustrating end to The Amazing Spider-Man series with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, Sony made the decision to reboot its Spider-Verse yet again. Despite how bad it looked to reboot a twice in the same decade, we’re not complaining that the studio chose to do in the face of a possible partnership with Marvel Studios...

As the continuation of a franchise that made billions of dollars at the box office, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’s cast and crew must have felt great pressure. Fortunately for them, it is safe to say that their hard work paid off, since the movie managed to pull in more than $800 million at the box office. An ambitious film that features some incredible special effects, a huge cast, and showed a world that people love in an all-new light, it is amazing how much effort went into the crafting of this film....

[WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Captain America: Civil War and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3, episode 20 ‘Emancipation.’] - When it first premiered, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was a television spinoff from the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe - specifically from the events of The Avengers, which featured the death of S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) as a rallying point for the superhero team. In the first season that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was on ABC, the series featured tie-in episodes with MCU films Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the latter of which had a major impact on the Marvel TV show....
