Get ready to go a little spooky and click those fingers, it’s time to head back to the wacky world of Barry Sonnenfeld’s The Addams Family movies. Adapting Charles’ Addams 1938 comic strip from The New Yorker, The Addams Family hoped to follow in the footsteps of ABC’s ’60s TV series and the 1977 movie (based on the same show). Originally put into production by Orion Pictures, the seemingly doomed movie eventually changed hands over to Paramount....

Spider-Man: Homecoming was a welcome breath of fresh air, being the first widely considered “good” Spider-Man movie in over a decade. Using clever story elements, an emotionally relatable villain, and the brilliant acting of Tom Holland, Spider-Man: Homecoming became a truly beloved Marvel movie, but that’s not to say it was necessarily perfect. Many fans were irritated by certain elements of the film, with certain problems becoming a little more irritating than others....

Video game movies have had a less than stellar reputation in the past, and no one knows this better than Nintendo. Super Mario Bros. was one of the most highly anticipated movies of 1993. When it was finally released, it disappointed audiences all over the world with its lame humour, poor acting, and lack of adherence to its source material. Nintendo have wisely stayed out of the movie business since then, with the exception of an occasional anime (like the Animal Crossing movie - Dōbutsu no Mori)....

Star Wars comics have crossed over with a surprisingly large amount of other titles, far more than you may realize. Though many of the appearances of your favorite characters were limited to easter eggs snuck in by artists and writers, we’ve often been charmed to see who shows up in the galaxy far, far away. But, it’s also interesting to see who drops in to say hi to the future from a long time ago, when other properties drop some eggs of their own....

Actors are undoubtedly one of the main reasons people tune into a movie or tv show. While some actors are disliked by fans, other are adored. For example, when it comes to the MCU, there are many fan-favorites among The Avengers, such as Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansen, and Chris Evans. Another example could be the movie Halloween, which makes many fans instantly think of Jamie Lee Curtis, who has risen through the ranks....

Without Thor, the Marvel Cinematic Universe would not be as good as it is today. Of course we have countless powerful heroes already who we enjoy watching on the big screen, but Thor brings an otherworldly aspect to it all– literally. Though Thor is extremely powerful both on and off the screen, he and his lore have a few flaws. For example, not everything about the God of Thunder make the most sense....

It would’ve been easy for 1917 to feel like a gimmick film. Sam Mendes’ WWI epic (which was loosely based on a story Mendes’ paternal grandfather told him about his time in the war) was shot and edited to look like it was captured in a single take, similar to the Best Picture Oscar winner Birdman and other one-shot movies before it. To their credit, Mendes and his legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins rarely call attention away from whatever’s happening onscreen with their camerawork - which is not to say their approach is completely effective, either....

Disney Princesses delight their young fans with their beauty and adventurous lives. As they grew up, these same fans learned better than to fall for the antiquated stories of a helpless girl who needs to be saved by a man, not mention the unrealistic body image these characters portray. Unfortunately, these beloved Disney Princesses are not just the subject of whether they are good or bad role models. Even in their own fairy tales, their actions don’t always make much sense....

From Frost Giant to trickster god, Loki is known for his many roles and disguises. The rules, rhyme, and reasons regarding his many capabilities, however, are often unclear, especially in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Just when we think we know what the God of Mischief’s limitations are, we witness him utilize his abilities in an entirely new way, exhibit completely new powers that we had never even guessed that he possessed, or see him best an opponent that he really ought to succumb to in battle, given his prior record....

The Naruto franchise continues with a whole new group of characters in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. Boruto features the children of the characters Naruto fans already know, but it also features a lot of familiar faces from the previous series. Of course, there are plenty of fans who are still dissatisfied with how the pairings of the earlier series shook out. They still hold out hope that they might see their favorite relationship come to life....

Fandom is a kind of superpower. You can find people with such levels of dedication that it feels as if they have been born with a super skill. The largest kinds of fandoms tend to be those that are part of the huge franchises. The first kind of real fandom has to be from Star Wars. Its popularity became such that Star Wars is a way of life for thousands of people....

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....
