When Psycho was released in 1960, the film received mixed reviews but is now seen as a classic and one of Alfred Hitchcock’s most notable films. Psycho was quite controversial in its time due to its adult nature and gore, but is rather tame compared to today’s horror movies. The film stars Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates; the proprietor of the Bates Motel, as well as Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, and John Gavin....
There are few things in life you can always be certain of: Kanye West will cause a stir in the media, fandom factions will never really resolve their differences, and TLC will have a show about polygamy. TLC took a chance in 2010 by creating a show that would follow the lives of a polygamous family, and it would go on to become a hit. Twelve seasons strong and still going, the Brown family has shown the world a truly alternative lifestyle....
Glee has been off of television screens for three years, and millions of Gleeks around the world miss it everyday. The show about an island of misfit toys joining together as an underdog show choir captured the hearts (and ears) of people everywhere. The show’s ability to portray teenagers in an honest way while accompanying it with amazing vocal performances made them one of the greatest things on television for their six-season run....
The Dragon Ball franchise didn’t become popular in America until the late nineties. It was the original dub of Dragon Ball Z on Toonami that created the Western fanbase for the show. When Dragon Ball Z was finished, Funimation went back and released an English dub of the original Dragon Ball series. As Dragon Ball Z was shown first, there are many fans who prefer it to the comparatively tamer original series....
It’s a general consensus among fans of the sitcom genre, that The Office was nothing short of a masterpiece. First airing on NBC in 2005, the mockumentary series was off to a bit of a rough start. Its pilot season received several poor reviews from critics - many saying that it was just a loose Americanized reimagining of its original inspiration - and even came close to cancellation at one point....
With its growing number of accolades and award nominations, Sam Mendes’ World War I epic 1917 is slowly becoming a favorite by many critics and audiences alike. Its enveloping cinematic ability to transport viewers into the nightmares of war have been hailed from all sides as a masterpiece of war films and films themselves. There are few films like it, with most of the film attempting to seem as if it was all filmed in one take by the masterful cinematographer Roger Deakins....
Superheroes populate the big and small screens nowadays, especially in the interconnected Marvel Cinematic Universe. From breaking our hearts (and tear ducts) in Avengers: Infinity War to jaw-dropping action scenes with the Marvel/Netflix line-up, these scenes will stay in fans’ memories (and on the Internet) for years to come. It wasn’t always the case though. For the longest time, however, things tended to be more hit or miss with the Marvel properties....
First premiering in 2001, 24 spanned 192 episodes over a total of eight seasons, in addition to a one-off event series (24: Live Another Day) and a TV movie (24: Redemption), to become one of the longest-running espionage-themed television dramas in history. Presented in a real-time format, each series offered a 24-hour window into super agent Jack Bauer’s (Kiefer Sutherland) life; working for the Counter Terrorist Unit, his efforts were largely focused on protecting America from potential terrorism plots, with his characteristically questionable tactics often proving to be remarkably effective, while also keeping audiences on the edge of their seats....
What are the best original movies to watch on Netflix? Now that the streaming service has become a legitimate awards season contender, subscribers are paying more attention to Netflix’s original content. Until 2015, Netflix was just a popular destination for cord-cutters and streamers. And then everything changed, as Netflix began producing original films, marking a major shift in the film industry as high quality mid-budget movies became available to watch at home immediately upon release....
With Microsoft stumbling out of the gate and Nintendo’s mediocre marketing strategy for the Wii U, Sony’s PlayStation 4 virtually floated to the top by default. Half a decade into the platform’s lifespan, the console boasts a respectable lineup of exclusives and unique features, but slim pickings were the name of the game throughout the hardware’s infancy. God of War and Persona 5 are fantastic, but never forget that the console launched with Killzone: Shadow Fall and Knack....
Debuting back in 1963 within the pages of X-Men #1, mutants have remained a staple of the Marvel Universe in the pages of the comics. While the MCU may be prohibited from using the term (and the majority of mutant characters), the species continues to play a prominent role in the comic book world. Since their introduction, writers have used the group to examine all variety of social prejudices and injustices....

There are certain rites of passage that any superhero worth their salt must go through. Death and subsequent resurrection is one of the most common, but being stripped down to the level of a mere mortal is another. The chances are that if a character has superpowers, they’ve been taken away at some point. This usually follows with a story of redemption as our heroes are forced to adapt and use their cunning to survive until they get their powers back, reaffirming the heroic characteristics that made us like them in the first place....
It’s no hyperbole to say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has completely reinvented the movie industry. Not only have these simple comic book stories turned into some of the most popular and profitable movies of all time, but they’ve also redefined what a comic book movie can be. There’s no longer a stigma that superhero movies are lesser art than “real movies.” This is an age where something like Logan can receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay....
Insert a fire-breathing behemoth or a sage-eyed, scaly guardian into a movie or book, and it almost always raises its entertainment value. From wyverns to Naga, Bewilderbeasts to Swedish Short-Snouts, dragons appeal to people of all ages—and why wouldn’t they? They are like better versions of dinosaurs; they’re powerful, and magical, and they sometimes even talk. If the dragon in a film is dull, the filmmakers just aren’t trying hard enough....

From the very first moment that Jon Snow met Ygritte on Game of Thrones, sparks started to fly, and apparently, things went pretty much the same for the actors who played them in real life, Kit Harington and Rose Leslie. However, just like their fictional counterparts, they had their ups and downs as a couple. Jon captured Ygritte, Ygritte captured Jon, she made fun of him a lot, they fell in love, they had some fun in a cave, they fought against each other, and he held her in his arms as she took her last breath....
You will typically pay 10% of your earnings as agency commission. If you find an agency charging considerably more than this, you should ask why. Talent management agencies generally have two types of agents: signers, who specialize in bringing in clients, and servicers, who do most of the day-to-day servicing. Therefore, don’t be surprised if you spend most of your time working with a different person from the one who initially signed you up....
Spider-Man, The Dark Knight, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk. Those are all superhero movies that came out in the first decade of the new millennium. We bet you know them pretty well. Same goes for Watchmen, The Incredibles, Hellboy, and the X-Men franchise. We’re even willing to bet you remember many of the less-successful cinematic superhero adventures, like Constantine, Elektra, and Blade: Trinity. Good or bad, each of them kept the craze alive and kicking....
With the release of Infinity War, fans everywhere find themselves more excited than ever to enter the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and watch our favorite heroes take on the biggest threat of them all, Thanos. The Avengers are in for a real fight, since Thanos is one heck of a threat… or is he? The superheroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe can be underpowered compared to other superheroes. This isn’t a knock on Captain America or Iron Man or the rest, but they don’t compare characters from other franchises/properties....
