Dumbledore lived a long and complicated life, so it’s no wonder he’s able to provide a lot of advice to others. Some of Dumbledore’s best quotes have to do with the power of love as this is a strong theme in the series....
If you’re looking for a wild, over-the-top, unapologetic, action-packed anime to add to your summer watchlist, look no further than Kill la Kill. The series saw a spectacular 24-episode run that was filled with weapon-infused fight sequences and outlandish character outfits. In fact, the outfits are a big part of the Kill la Kill world. The main storyline focuses on clothing materials dubbed “Life Fibers,” which imbue the wearer with superhuman abilities....
Ever since its first episode in 2011, Game of Thrones has become one of the most popular television shows of all time. HBO’s production team have led us through a twisted path of triumph, dread, laughter, heartache, and everything in between along the way, and none of us are ready for the show to finally end - both because its absence will leave a void in our lives, and because apparently we will “need therapy” after the finale....
With the success of X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past, we are nearing the completion of Fox’s X-Men “Prequelogy” with the upcoming X-Men Apocalypse. For the most part, the primary villain of these three movies has been Magneto, who wants to ensure that mutants are the dominant species, along with various human factions attempting to punish and regulate the existence of mutants. X-Men Apocalypsewill give us a new villain in the form of Apocalypse: an incredibly powerful mutant who has absolutely no gray area of humanity (unlike Magneto), and simply believes in complete domination....
It’s fair to say that there are a lot of benefits to being a Hollywood movie star – but that doesn’t mean there aren’t downsides, either. Maybe the biggest challenge actors face on a regular basis – other than trying to keep their private lives, y’know, “private” – is choosing their next role. This might not sound like too much of a dilemma. Think about it: could you tell whether or not a film was going to be a hit, just by flicking through the script?...
When it comes to superpowers, few are as awesome as super wads of cash! Yes, Tony Stark may be a genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist, but it’s the money that gives him the Iron Man armors. And the genius, but mostly the money. While a lot of superheroes are running around in spandex, struggling to hold down a low-paying job, some of these guys are rolling in cash. And we aren’t just talking a few bucks here, not even millions of dollars, but sometimes tens of billions....
With the recent announcements of Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer remake and upcoming HBO show, The Nerves, it seems as good a time as any to reflect on the onscreen relationships of one of his greatest creations, Angel. The successful Buffy spinoff found its unique voice with the vampire detective noir angle and ultimately blew us away by its fifth and final season, but the central romantic relationships in the series left something to be desired....
Once again, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is climbing to yet another new plateau. After fourteen films, including this month’s senses-shattering Doctor Strange, as well as four critically acclaimed TV series – Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – they aren’t slowing down. Yesterday, Marvel and ABC announced that next year will see the premiere of an entirely new sort of superhero series: Marvel’s The Inhumans. Agents of S....
Any old TV series that we still talk about today probably has some universal qualities. They are of-their-time while presenting characters and situations that leap across time and continue to feel relevant and entertaining years after the fact. While it can seem almost sacrilegious to think about remaking or rebooting classic old TV series, it’s important to note the practice is nothing new. In fact, in many cases a remake or reboot can turn out even better....
Death is cheap in video games.While Dark Souls might penalize you heavily for dying, you are still allowed to respawn and try again. Super Mario gives you extra lives, Call of Duty lets you load your last save, and Pokémon doesn’t let you die at all (just your poor little Pokés). In a game based around story, sometimes a character must permanently die as part of the plot. The Final Fantasy series is no stranger to such deaths among the cast....
If you are a fan of action movies, 2016 is shaping up to be a pretty good year.

The following sixteen films are the hottest action/adventure films still to come this year.

Thus far, the awards season contenders for 2016 have included a number of clear and obvious frontrunners, with the heavyhearted drama Manchester by the Sea directed by Kenneth Lonergan and the throwback movie musical La La Land directed by Damien Chazelle already garnering a lot of attention - especially considering the fact that the National Board of Review has already named Lonergan’s latest production as being the best film of the year....
Shameless is an incredible TV series that has been on the air for a whopping eight years. Its kitschy depiction of a dysfunctional family unit on the South Side of Chicago has seen cast members come and go like musical chairs. Some of these characters are wildly loveable while others made us want to quit watching Shameless altogether due to how dislikable they were. Because The Gallagher Family is so big, many people have entered and left their lives within a blink of an eye....
American Horror Story excels at making fans want more. Each season tells a contained story, but no season closes without leaving some loose ends. Because of this, and because its length allowed the writers to create an entire universe, viewers speculate widely about what the series really means. Hence, AHS has more than its fair share of fan theories. Some of these are meta — they predict that entire seasons or the whole show are stories within stories, while other theories are the stuff of fan dedication, built by hawk-eyed viewers scouring episodes for clues....
90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?’s Ashley Martson and Jay Smith are one of the show’s most notorious couples, and fans are left wondering if they are divorced and if that means deportation for Jay.

Fans aren’t sure what the actual status of their relationship is or if Jay is even still in the country, although a recent interview with Ashley may hold the answer....

A hot start Beats sold two sizes of Bluetooth speakers when Apple bought the hardware and streaming music business almost eight years ago....
AirPods Pro 2 are expected to launch before the end of the year, and 52audio has published images depicting the hardware design. The site previously published images of the third-gen AirPods design ahead of their release. Background 52audio first came across our radar last year when the publication shared what turned out to be accurate images of the new AirPods 3 design. While leaks were everywhere for third-gen AirPods leading up to their release, 52audio published actual images of the hardware that later shipped....
Perceived to have very glamorous lives, in recent years celebrities have become more idolized than ever before. As a result of that, not only do stars have millions of people that follow along with their careers, but their personal lives are often gone over with a microscope too. A fact that is evidenced by most of the headlines that scream out from tabloid covers; people get really invested in the love lives of the stars....
The Eternals is one of the most interesting MCU projects on the horizon. While films like Captain Marvel and Captain America: The First Avenger have shown us the beginnings of S.H.I.E.LD. and the Avengers Initiative, The Eternals could reveal the secrets to the entire Marvel universe. Centering on the titular godlike beings, the film will explore their ancient beginnings and how they connect to the larger story of the MCU....
Disney purchased Lucasfilm for the small sum of $4 billion in 2012, and immediately went to work on ushering in the new era of Star Wars on film.
