Though the premise of the movie seemed simplistic in nature, the 1986 film Stand by Me proved to be more than four boys in search of a body. Based on the novella The Body by Stephen King, the film managed to capture not only the spirit of the original tale, but also the hearts of film fans for generations to come. The film’s cast included several up-and-coming stars that would go on to lead successful film and television careers....
The 60-year-old Taiwan-based display manufacturer integrated a 30-pin docking station at the base of the 12.9 mm-thin, full HD 23-inch screen. It also included 10-watt SRS Sound speakers to allow seamless video, audio, and photo playback from an iPhone or iPod in 1080p resolution. “The Aire iPlay displays photos and video content from your iPhone and iPod on a screen that is 37 times larger than the device it comes from,” said AOC’s Marketing Manager Robert Velez in a press release....
They may not be able to lift a bus using only their minds or shoot energy from their eyes, but Marvel’s merry martial artists have proved many times over that they can hold their own in a fight. Indeed, many of these guys have thrown down with the biggest and baddest that the Marvel Universe has to offer, and have often come out on top. From masters of Kung-Fu to Super-Soldiers, the house of ideas has created some of the most bad-ass fighters out there....
If there’s one detective series that has unquestionably captivated television audiences in recent history, the answer can only be Sherlock, the whip-smart modern adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic private eye, Sherlock Holmes. But the deerstalker-sporting genius hails from a long line of great small screen sleuths. Detective shows are among the sturdiest and most long-lived genres in the medium. And while many of the best clue solvers on the small-screen aren’t literal “detectives” in the professional sense, their keen powers of deduction put them in the same league when it comes to solving crimes....
Supernatural has thrived on many twists and turns in its fourteen seasons of storytelling. While the world has nearly ended more times than we can count in the Supernatural world, we still (for the most part) praise these twists and turns for the series. Some made more sense than others, of course. A good chunk of the time, these plot twists were interesting and compelling in their own ways. Castiel (Misha Collins) turning out to be the Big Bad; Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) being the one true vessels for Lucifer and Michael; Dean selling his soul to save his brother– these are excellent plot twists, curving the narrative in a new and exciting way....
Most superheroes tend to be orphans. Really, trauma kind of goes with the territory. Stable individuals with happy lives are less likely to throw on a pair of tights and go looking for criminals, so it’s not entirely unexpected that so many superheroes have had to suffer from losing their parents at an early age, whether those parents were wiped away by an exploding planet, died in a plane crash, or shot by a mugger....
There is no denying that superhero movies have forever changed the cinematic landscape. Every year, there are several superhero blockbusters that are successfully able to build anticipation and dominate the box office when they are finally released. There are several different types of superheroes, but the movies would be kind of boring if they didn’t have supervillains to battle and threaten their cities. Some studies even show that superheroes are more violent than supervillains, which makes sense when you see the destruction some superheroes achieve in movies....

Pretty Little Liars was one of the most talked about teen television series to ever air.

Plot holes seemed to pass through each season that no one really paid any mind to....

3rd Rock From the Sun was a solid hit over six seasons in the late 1990s, in no small part due to the cast. The main roster was made up of John Lithgow, Kristen Johnston, French Stewart, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jane Curtin. But what made this show work was the incredible group of guest stars. They made the show amazing. Some were famous when they showed up and others would make their names down the road but they all brought great moments of comedy to the scenes they were in....
In 2008, Jon Favreau introduced us to a whole new cinematic world through Iron Man . This was a risky film to make. Favreau was an odd choice for this film, only being known for directing Elf and Swingers previously. It would star Robert Downey Jr., who, at the time, was a washed-up B-lister with substance and legal problems. But the studio’s biggest risk was in even making an Iron Man movie....
There are many factors to keeping a show on the air. Fans think that if a show manages to get consistently good ratings and works for its target demographic, everything else should be fixable. But that’s not exactly been the case for modern television. From miscommunications and petty power struggles to a confused brand image, some terrific shows have been canceled for some really bizarre reasons in recent history. It never seems to fail that beloved shows are canceled before their time, year after year....
In the late 1980s, Alan Moore released installments of a graphic novel about Fascism and oppression after a nuclear war had destroyed most of the world. A supremacist political party ruled the UK in a dystopian version of the country, using prisons and outlandish rules to extinguish their opponents. When it felt right for a movie adaption, Joel Silver bought the rights for the graphic novels V for Vendetta and Watchmen....

Once, you needed expensive cameras and other equipment to make content. Nowadays, you can work wonders using just the smartphone that most of us carry in our pockets. This has led to a much more egalitarian landscape, albeit leading to accusations of “fake news” because it is harder to determine the truth of what you see online. A side effect of this has been the rise of new career opportunities....
Powerful engines, harsh weather, and steep drop-offs are only a few of the elements that have defined Highway Thru Hell. The Canadian docuseries, which premiered in 2012, follows the daily operations of tow truckers working in British Columbia. A big part of the show takes place along the Coquihalla Highway, a 201-mile stretch of road that connects Vancouver to the Canadian Rockies. As the Coquihalla rises into the mountains, temperatures dwindle and driving conditions worsen....
