The 2018 Golden Globe snubs included acclaimed comic book films like Logan and Wonder Woman, as well as the rom-com The Big Sick. Meanwhile, on the television side of things, David Lynch’s Twin Peaks revival only landed a single nomination and found itself left off the list of best series nominees. The Golden Globes long have been more genre-film friendly than the Oscars, thanks to the split drama and musical/comedy categories....
Nothing beats a good love story. Over the years, Disney and Pixar have come to pretty much perfect the art of creating one. Typically it’s the Disney princesses who are at the center of most of those love stories. They find their princes, defeat the villains, and live happily ever after. With Pixar, there are fewer princesses, but just as many love stories. In 2009, they managed to start and end an incredible love story in the span of an opening montage....

30 Rock’s main cast might have comprised the lion’s share of stories on the show, but they wouldn’t have been nearly as successful or hilarious without the stellar supporting cast they had. Sure, Liz and Jack could carry a storyline on their own, and Tracy and Kenneth would often get into trouble with Jenna, but the supporting cast of characters was what made the show really click. Some of the characters were more important than others, though....
With many beloved franchises such as Silent Hill and Resident Evil, horror games have become some of the most popular games in the entire medium.

But because there are hundreds of horror games, some of them have slipped through the cracks and remained relatively unknown. Many people love to watch horror movies during the Halloween season to get a good scare....
Whether Dragon Ball is a franchise you got into through the original Dragon Ball series or through Dragon Ball Z, eventually, you no doubt tried watching the other series.

Hype for the Marvel Cinematic Universe has never been higher. Their last three films have all received over a 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and Black Panther is currently ranked as the 12th highest-grossing film of all time and climbing. Now with Infinity War hitting theaters ahead of schedule, all eyes turn to the team at the center of it all: the Avengers. We’ve certainly come a long way since Earth’s Mightiest Heroes were first assembled for the 2012 film – a task that once seemed impossible beyond the pages of a comic book....
Star Trek: First Contact landed in theaters way back in November 1996, and it still remains one of the better received outings by the crew of the USS Enterprise. The first film in the franchise to focus solely on the cast of the Next Generation TV series, First Contact pits Patrick Stewart’s Captain Picard and his allies against merciless hive mind, the Borg. The stakes have never been higher, either. Indeed, the very existence of the Federation and Starfleet hangs in the balance, due to the Borg’s sneaky scheme to eradicate both by preventing the first meeting between humanity and extra-terrestrial life from happening centuries earlier....

When it comes to The Blair Witch Project, not everyone realizes how greatly it impacted modern cinema. Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez’s extra low-budget indie about three filmmaking students who set off to make a documentary about a legendary witch was critically praised, but was received with awkwardness by a large part of the audience, due to its radical and unconventional filmmaking style. In a genre stuffed with easy frights and jump scares, The Blair Witch Project offered a new breed of horror, focusing on what’s implied, generating fear by the unseen....
Let’s face it, a straightforward story can be boring - we’ve seen it a thousand times before. Generally speaking, watching a film that’s not afraid to take risks with its narrative can be a breath of fresh air, especially when that narrative can jump from one moment in time to another in a blink of the eye. Experimenting with nonlinear structures in movies has been around since the silent film era, and movies like Manchester by the Seaand Deadpoolprove that the cinematic technique is still alive and well....
Of course, fashion tastes can be notoriously subjective, and it is unlikely that you will like the fashion displayed by everybody on our list. Most followers of fashion will know the types of designs they prefer and will have found favorite influencers who promote the types of fashion compatible with their personal tastes. Fashion is also a genre that crosses social media platforms. With fashion being a highly visual industry, those channels that place a high focus on displaying high-quality images are obviously favored here....
The old saying “absolute power corrupts absolutely” is an apt description of the power of celebrity. Fame can be treacherous for those unprepared for the cost, and it can certainly cause a strain on a star’s friends and family, and romantic relationships in particular. It seems that a celebrity marriage is far more fragile than those of the non-famous variety. Nothing helps end a power couple’s relationship more than when one partner’s power diminishes while the other rises....

It’s been so often it’s basically a cliche: becoming successful in Hollywood is more about who you know than how well you can actually perform. Of course, that surely can’t be true about everyone who’s hit it big in Hollywood, but the more you dig into the background of some of your favorite stars, the more you realize how many of your fave celebs are all just one big happy family....
While cable companies are managing to stay in business, streaming services like Netflix have been able to dominate the small screen with unique TV shows like Stranger Things.

One of the most prominent characters during the Golden Age of Comic Books, Captain America made his debut in March 1941. The character’s inception was a direct reaction to the start of World War II, and Captain America was meant to represent the ideals of the allied forces. But after the war ended, the character saw a dip in popularity, leading to the comic book being discontinued. Of course, Marvel ended up bringing the character back into the mainstream during the Silver Age, where Steve Rogers was brought up to present day, eventually sending him on a journey to become the leader of the Avengers....
The 2019 Oscars broadcast’s ratings were considerably higher than 2018’s all-time low numbers. Over the past few years, the Academy Awards have seen continually declining viewership, which is what led to a number of proposed changes to revamp the proceedings in 2019. In an effort to make the show more appealing and accessible to mainstream audiences, the Academy toyed with the possibility of introducing a Best Popular Film category, cutting the presentation of a handful of awards to commercial breaks, and limiting the number of Best Original Song performances....
