There is a wannabe athlete living inside all of us. Beyond the valour of the battlefield, success in the athletic arena is often the most lauded facet of human accomplishment. While many have experienced some form of junior varsity victory, most of us will never know the thrill of winning on the global stage. Thanks to film, however, we can get a taste of the spotlight. For those moments when you want to see the underdog win, we here at Screen Rant have taken it upon ourselves to present you with The 10 Best Sports Movies on Netflix:...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is ever-expanding. It grows bigger and bigger with every release. The main MCU films are already twenty movies deep, and there are also the television shows as well. This year has been massive for the MCU. Not only did fans get to see the biggest superhero crossover ever in Avengers: Infinity War, but they also got to see new seasons of each of the four Defenders series in Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, but there’s even more on the way for 2019....

Generally, people consider Hogwarts’ House of Slytherin as the “evil” house — the house that every dark wizard has come from. But they don’t deserve this reputation. According to Pottermore, an equal amount of dark wizards come from other houses too, not even Hufflepuff being innocent. Peter Pettigrew was an evil (weak and pathetic, but evil nonetheless) Gryffindor. Professor Quirrell was an evil Ravenclaw. Yet anyone who’s read or watched Harry Potter knows that for every evil Slytherin like Lord Voldemort or Dolores Umbridge, there is also a good Slytherin like Severus Snape or Regulus Black....

After nearly a decade of development, Deadpool has returned in a new solo movie that’s so good, it’s making fans forget about the Merc with the Sewn-Up Mouth from X-Men Origins (2009). While it’s only the opening weekend for the film, there are already discussions around Deadpool (2016) breaking box office records, both domestically and abroad. Because of his profanity-filled antics and violent anti-hero tendencies, Deadpool might seem like the antithesis of Valentine’s Day....

Godzilla first unleashed itself upon the world in 1994 with the seminal Japanese classic. The film, about a panicked Japan scrambling to stop the titular monster from rampaging through the country as it inches ever closer towards Tokyo, stunned audiences with its dire scenario. An American version was released in 1956, which re-edited the original film and shot scenes with Raymond Burr as the main character to appeal to western audiences....

Video games are a big business these days, rivalling (and even eclipsing) the film and music industries. This isn’t just reflected in the billions of dollars video game publishers are collectively raking in, but also in the sheer number of new titles released every year. Yet despite literally hundreds of games being added to online stores and store shelves each month, there are still some that have notoriously failed to materialize for some time now....

While the last Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie wasn’t that well received by fans and critics, there’s still potential for the series, especially for those that grew up with the characters. The world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is one that spans multiple television shows, movie franchises, comic universes, and toy lines, starting out more adult and becoming decidedly more kid friendly as time went on. With the apparent inclusion of Krang in the sequel, it looks like we’ll get to see more of the various TMNT characters outside of the core heroes and villains....

As one of USA Network’s most successful series to date, Suits has gone above and beyond in terms of quality expected from the formerly “blue skies network.” Unafraid to get dark and gritty, while delicately balancing heart and humor alongside the drama, Suits follows the partnership between star lawyer Harvey Specter and fraudulent lawyer Mike Ross. Over the course of the show’s seven seasons, Mike’s secrets have become made known and writ large, including a jail stint that left viewers everywhere wondering just what could possibly happen next – and if there was anything the series wasn’t willing to do....

Only a couple of weeks after the initial iPhone Wi-Fi bug was found, the same security researcher Carl Schou has found another similar issue. Schou tweeted today that if an iPhone comes in range of a Wi-Fi network named ‘%secretclub%power’, then that iPhone will no longer be able to use Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi related features. Schuo even says that this bug persists when resetting network settings. The earlier issue relied on the iPhone encountering a network name with the SSiD “%p%s%s%s%s%n” and the user attempting to connect to it....

The world of podcasting is the perfect medium for talking about movies, because podcasts can go on for any length of time. Unlike interviews for tv shows, which have dedicated time slots that interviews have to be cut down to fit into, podcasts can just ramble on. Often they are edited, but they have the luxury of changing the length of the episode to fit the content instead of the other way around....

Thanks to the continued success of CW shows like Arrow, Supergirl, and The Flash, plus the highly-anticipated arrival of new Marvel Cinematic Universe shows such as Loki, WandaVision, and Falcon & Winter Soldier, superhero television has never been more popular or in demand! With every major network, studio, and streaming service flooding money into the superhero genre and various comic-book properties. However, it can be immensely difficult, if not impossible, to keep track of what to watch and when to watch it....

With studios lining up to adapt every bankable superhero or comic book icon to the big screen, you might think that fans would be happy with what they have coming. But every comic fan has their favorites, and sometimes, it’s the most unlikely superheroes that could end up being the biggest box office surprises. Here are Screen Rant’s 10 Superhero Movies We Would Love To See. X-Force Anyone who’s read an X-Force story knows why the strike team is perfect for Fox’s shared movie universe....

Throughout the Harry Potter film series, a considerable amount of screen time was dedicated to providing viewers with an insider’s look at the Hogwarts castle. Not only were viewers afforded the opportunity to soak in the scenic landscape surrounding this breathtaking location, but they were also provided with a peek into the lifestyles of Hogwarts students. Going beyond extra-curricular activities, such as Quidditch and Duelling Club as well as the student’s private lives, viewers are also afforded an insider’s look into the goings-on in many of Hogwarts’ classes....

On-set drama is something that many films and TV shows try to keep contained, but that is not always as easy as they would like. Both the cast and crew are made up of people with individual personalities. Like most areas of life, you put a bunch of individuals in close quarters for an extended period of time and you’re bound to have the odd issue pop up. Well, we’re interested in a very specific type of conflict today....

Lazy, unmotivated, and totally clueless, movie slackers have been a huge part of cinema for decades. Always funny and sometimes inspiring, these motivationally challenged individuals make the easy life so appealing, you’ll want to skip work and keep watching more of their movies. Slackers continue to prove popular with moviegoers, what with the recent release of American Ultra, as well as Richard Linklater’s spiritual successor to Dazed and Confused, Everybody Wants Some!...

If you’re on the internet in 2018, chances are you’ve at least heard of Firefly, the cult classic sci-fi television series on Fox. Created by Joss Whedon and executive produced by him and Tim Minear, the show was a refreshing take on the space-western genre, broadcast at a time when viewers’ choices for high-quality series were far fewer than today. First airing in 2002, Firefly had a notoriously difficult development cycle, which involved Fox executives seemingly doing everything they could to sabotage the show’s popularity....

Ashley Martson of 90 Day Fiancé fame has called it quits from the hit TLC reality show, officially saying goodbye and signing off via her Instagram account. Fans may not be surprised by Ashley’s departure, especially after the rough season she endured. Ashley was initially featured on season 6 of 90 Day Fiancé where she met her now ex-husband, Jay Smith. Ashley was vacationing in Jamaica with friends when she first fell for Jay, marrying a short time later to begin the K-1 Visa process....
