As, arguably, the greatest character in Western literature (although don’t tell Arthur Conan Doyle that…), Sherlock Holmes has had many incarnations. Whether on the page, the stage, the big screen or the telly, Holmes has captured our imaginations with his brilliance and charm – even if the second one doesn’t always make itself apparent at first. Some of the most recent adaptations of the story include Guy Ritchie’s fun and fast-paced films starring Robert Downey Jr....

In a show that runs for more than a few seasons, characters come and go as cast members decide to leave and/or are written out. In the Arrowverse, you’ve got four/five different shows, each with their own sets of characters and a collective of over ten seasons and counting. Someone’s going to get forgotten, and not all stories get wrapped up in neat bows. So what happens when we get all attached to someone who hasn’t shown up in a while?...

A year in horror is a curious thing now that trends have become so ephemeral. It used to be you could rely on a half-dozen torture porn films, at least as many found footage movies and/or a slew of remakes of Japanese ghost stories with vacant, semi-nude blonde teenagers. These days it’s anyone’s guess what’ll turn up, which is both thrilling and a little worrying. After all, you can rely on a trend for good or ill....

The Star Wars franchise continues to be a rollicking sci-fi adventure series. Nobody, least of all us, is going to tell you these films are built for scares. But we are going to tell you that there are most definitely some scenes in the movies that are meant to charge the viewer with a little jolt of fright. There are scenes that are frighteningly tense, scenes with seemingly unbeatable and often grotesque monsters, and scenes of unspeakable evil....

The six Infinity Stones were the epicenter of the entire, (aptly named), Infinity Saga. They essentially served as the biggest MacGuffins in movie history, seeing as they simultaneously control space, mind, reality, power, time, and soul, and served to “end” the highest-grossing movie franchise ever. However, the plot states that something else is needed for one to combine the power of all the Stones (to, say, wipe out half of all life)....

There is finally some news for gamers awaiting further information about Crystal Dynamics’ Avengers project: an update from the title’s Creative Director confirms the game is still very much happening.

Apple’s efforts to integrate AirPods into the Find My network are proving to be a headache for retailers and device refurbishes.

It’s tempting to think that a classic movie was always made to be just the way it is. But sometimes, there were scenes planned, reworked, scrapped, or even shot before being deleted that can change a movie completely - for better or worse, fans may never know just what their favorite films could have been. Here are Screen Rant’s 10 Amazing Movie Scenes You Will Never See. The Avengers: Age of Ultron Fans used to think that they would never see Spider-Man share the screen with Marvel’s Avengers, or see Captain Marvel join the MCU as early as they hoped....

Given the connected nature of the cinematic universe, the MCU has the rare opportunity to have long recurring jokes....

10 Cloverfield Lane has little in common with Cloverfield but is, nevertheless, a clever, thrilling, and downright fun movie experience. After a fight with her fiancee, aspiring fashion designer Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) packs her things and hits the open road - leaving her apartment and engagement ring behind. However, after fueling-up at a rural gas station, Michelle’s car is struck by another driver, knocking her unconscious, as her vehicle tumbles off the road....

It used to be that when a scene was deleted from a film that was it; if it didn’t make it to cinemas, it would literally be left on the cutting room floor, never to be seen again. Thanks to home video and the internet, however, over the past twenty years that’s become a thing of the past; studios regularly bundle unused scenes onto the Blu-Ray and online communities are able to track down other long-lost clips....

Hollywood can be a fickle town. Actors are constantly looking to move up a rung in their industry, every one of them thinking they’re destined to be the next Will Smith or Michelle Williams. While this happens in the film world a lot, it’s doubly true of television, which still has a reputation as something of a little brother to the realm of movies. Television actors often make rash decisions to leave behind a cushy gig in pursuit of bigger and better things – even when no bigger or better things seem to be lurking over the horizon....

When FX’s Sons of Anarchy rode onto screens in 2008, it introduced the world to biker gang SAMCRO. This gang ruled the highways from their base in Charming, California. They often engaged in numerous illegal activities. Created by The Shield writer Kurt Sutter, the series lasted seven epic seasons. By the time the show drove off into the sunset, it was pulling in an average of over 10 million viewers. This wasn’t bad going considering it had started with just over 2 million....

It has always been difficult to determine what is considered to be canon within the Star Trek franchise. There was a ton of Star Trek books and comics that were released between The Original Series and The Next Generation that were wiped from continuity, as they no longer gelled with the new direction of the series. The official continuity of Star Trek was split in ‘09 when the latest movie caused the timeline to break in two, which led to even more discussions about what was considered to be canon....

Since The Big Bang Theory came on the air in 2007, it has successfully generated a huge fan base. The comedy romance has a pretty simple premise: a woman moves in across from a couple of incredibly intelligent geeks who are into anything pop culture related.

The WWE has proven to be a great launching pad for the acting careers of many superstars over the years. While there are major names that made it from the squared circle to Hollywood and TV shows, there are also numerous roles that minor stars have taken on. It seems that the goal of many professional wrestlers is to lock in acting roles so they can continue to work once their in-ring career comes to a close....

Secrets make the world go round, often hiding truths that would shatter the very fabric of time and space if they were ever brought to light. Mankind’s natural curiosity will always push them to search for the answers to life’s biggest mysteries. Sometimes, they will even uncover enigmas they never even realized were there; a veritable pandora’s box that, once uncovered, can never again be concealed, no matter how bad they might want it to be....
