Animation is an incredibly diverse art form. As we’ve seen in various TV shows, movies short films, and even video game cut scenes, it can vary widely in style and tone. And so many of our favorite shows bring something completely unique to the table. Often, animation is relegated to TV, where it’s reigned in by budgetary issues and, sometimes, serialized storytelling. But we figured there may be ways in which various animated TV shows, and even shows with big screen movies, could be suited for the big screen....

We’re still picking through all the data that Hannah Anderson and Matt Daniels uncovered this month in their study of onscreen spoken words by gender. The short version is that men get to talk a lot more than women do in movies overall, and it’s a rare film indeed that gives women more time to speak than the men. We thought it’d be fun and educational to take a look at the thirteen films (among the thousands of notable examples they surveyed) whose original screenplays were most female-focused....

Apple has new form factors in store for the MacBook Air and entry-level iPad for 2023, according to a new report from Display Supply Chain Consultants. Apple is reportedly planning a 15-inch MacBook Air that could be released in 2023, alongside a version of the entry-level iPad with a slightly larger display. According to DSCC supply chain information, Apple is planning a new variant of the MacBook Air for 2023 that will feature a screen size of around 15-inches....

Movie monsters are all too often seen as little more than creations of CGI and other visual effects. But not unlike the heroes who face off against them, the truly special ones are fully formed characters dependent on flesh and blood people to give them that spark of life that keeps them in our collective conscience for years to come. In fact, the earliest practitioners of villainy owed little to movie magic and more to the words on a page and the mastery of highly skilled performers....

Who doesn’t love a good romance movie? Those moments where the unsuspecting leads finally fall for each other always leave audiences with a warm, fuzzy feeling, and affirm our belief that true love does exist and can be found. But not all romance movies have a happy ending. Sometimes, instead of the couple walking blissfully into the sunset, they walk away from each other in different directions. The next 15 movies on this list feature relationships that take a turn for the worse, leaving you tearing up and reaching for the tissue box....

Jessica Jones’ long-awaited second season is upon us. We last saw Jessica in The Defenders, but fans are anxious for their favorite “I’m not a superhero” superhero to be the focal point of her own story again. When last we left her, Jessica Jones had finally defeated her sociopathic ex-captor, Kilgrave and started to heal from the trauma he forced her to undergo. She still balked at joining Iron Fist, Daredevil, and Luke Cage during The Defenders, but eventually she came around and was instrumental in the Hand’s defeat....

It has been some time now since Pretty Little Liars wrapped its story for good. Since then, the show has maintained its popularity through streaming and purchases. People enjoy debating the series even now, long after the final plot twist was revealed. If you’re ready to move on to something different, you might consider trying one of the many shows we’ve listed below that offer similar themes and storylines to the former Freeform drama....

When people think of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they typically think of the movies - Iron Man, Captain America, The Avengers, etc. - but the fact is, the overarching universe extends to several television properties as well, such as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter. But now, with Marvel Studios bringing Netflix into the fold, fans have five additional shows to watch: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Punisher - three of which have already made their small screen debut....

Twelve years ago, the WB and UPN merged together in an effort to compete with declining viewership brought on by bigger TV networks. After several years of struggling to maintain interest, the CW emerged as a re-branded powerhouse, shifting its focus towards teen-centric television series with a dramatic flair. Now with hit series like The Vampire Diaries and the shows of the Arrowverse giving the network a much needed boost in the Nielsen ratings, a host of stars have come from out of the woodwork, popping up across various CW programs....

Do you question the nature of your reality? Do you ever feel like the life your living isn’t really your own? Do you really feel free enough to find your own purpose? These, of course, are just a few of the central questions asked in The Matrix and its two sequels. This 1999 operatic action and science fiction film has gone down as one of the greatest films of its genre, and of all time....

The public has always had a fascination with witches, whether it’s been a serious fear of the supernatural during the time of the Salem witch trials or a romanticized, playful look at the magic-casters in something like Bewitched or Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Witches have also been an integral component of horror movies for decades and there’s even been a resurgence of the paranormal individuals in recent movies like The Witch and Hereditary....

Time certainly flies. This November will mark the 10-year anniversary of the release of the first Twilight movie, starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. The saga of a teen girl in love with a 109-year-old vampire attracted worldwide fan mania and racked up billions in profit for Hollywood. The five Twilight movies made international mega-stars out of Pattinson and Stewart, and greatly enhanced the careers of Anna Kendrick, Kellan Lutz, Taylor Lautner, Nikki Reed, among others....

Apple is reported to have prepared 5M models for shipment in the first two weeks … Digitimes analysts made the prediction.

1987’s Predator might have started as a simple action vehicle with Arnold Schwarzenegger, but through the years, it’s turned into one of the most popular action-horror hybrids to hit the market. The campy series has seen numerous sequels throughout the years and even when it seemed like the films had fallen out of favor, there’d be a new entry in the series that would hit theaters and reignite interest. The Predator films have gone on to create their own unique universe, but they’re also the one monster that’s become so popular that it’s been deemed worthy to take on the iconic Xenomorph beasts from the Alien films....

Last year, it was announced that Joss Whedon’s popular TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was being rebooted. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is most remembered through its use of strong female characters and clever writing. Though few details have been revealed about the new series, we do know that it is going to be a continuation of the original with a new slayer assuming center stage. The good news is this leaves the door open for the show’s original cast members to cameo or even be a part of the series....

Fans of ABC’s long running hit sitcom The Middle were sad when the series said its final goodbye after 9 seasons just last week, but it looks like one of the show’s regulars may be getting her own spinoff. The Middle starred Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn as working class parents Frankie and Mike Heck who lived in the fictional town of Orson, Indiana with their three kids Axl, played by Charlie McDermott, Sue, played by Eden Sher and Brick, played by Atticus Shaffer....

In 2015’s Maggie, famed action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger showed the world that he can step outside the realm of slam-bang movies and deliver a heartfelt dramatic performance. Though Maggie was superficially a zombie movie, it was really about a father grieving over the death of his daughter, though technically the daughter wasn’t even dead yet. Schwarzenegger’s grizzled appearance and quiet acting in that film may have been a shocker for those used to seeing him in movies like Commando and Predator....

Agents of SHIELD season 6 has introduced a new set of villains who use tech with a distinctly magical flavor, reminiscent of Doctor Strange’s magic. Currently, Agents of SHIELD’s narrative is structured into two distinct stories: a team on Earth investigating the arrival of a man who looks exactly like Phil Coulson, and a team in space attempting to locate and rescue Fitz, who placed himself into a cryogenic freeze back in season 5....

Classic movies get remade all the time; it seems to happen more than ever before in the current era of film-making. While almost any film seems up for a possible remake, it is the horror genre that gets its stories retold time and time again. From frightening one-off hits to franchises starring iconic killers, it happens all the time. Sometimes, the remakes are hits, like 2017’s It or 2013’s Evil Dead....
