Marvel Studios announced at San Diego Comic-Con that the fifth Avengers movie will be subtitled The Kang Dynasty. This not only spells out Kang The Conqueror’s key role as the big bad of The Multiverse Saga but alludes to a major comic book storyline. The Kang Dynasty likely serves as a blueprint for the MCU as do other great Kang comic books. The first trailer for Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania brings a very comic book-inspired Kang The Conqueror to the MCU....
There are some romantic comedies that manage to become to part of our cultural consciousness and that we just can’t help ourselves from constantly quoting them and making references to them. Well, the 2001 classic that is Legally Blonde is certainly one of those. Starring Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods, the perky blonde who enrolls at Harvard law school in order to win her man back, Legally Blonde has become somewhat of a cult classic of the rom-com genre....
Captain America’s shield is an important part of his identity, and a universal symbol of freedom and a reminder of the American way. However, in the nearly 80-year-long-history of Cap and his famous shield, there have been many obstacles and changes that both have faced. These have been due to new writers as well as because of experimental changes. However, overall, they have only added to the darker side of Marvel that many fans are clueless about....
Martin Scorsese has made a lot of great movies, but Taxi Driver could still make a claim for being his best movie. It’s certainly his definitive work: New York is a character in the movie, it has a beautiful jazzy score, it explores a seedy criminal underworld, it’s unapologetically graphic, it represents its place in history with a cynical view of the Vietnam War, and it stars Robert De Niro as a deeply flawed and violent leading character....
If you were to walk into an arcade fifteen years ago, chances are you’d find a group of hardcore fighting game players huddled around a Marvel vs. Capcom cabinet. This classic fighter wasn’t just popular during its heyday, it defined a genre for an entire generation of gamers during its tenure on top. From its infancy in titles like X-Men vs. Street Fighter to its dominance of the fighting game landscape with Marvel vs....
For generations, actors have been winning awards for their performances on-screen. And of all the ceremonies out there that commemorate the work of Hollywood’s finest, the Academy Awards — also known as the Oscars — is the biggest, glitziest and most prestigious of them all. Every year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) gets together and votes for which films of the preceding year were best. Roughly 6,000 AMPAS voters — all members of Hollywood’s film industry, from actors to directors to writers and so on — cast their ballots for which films they believe did best in 24 respective categories....
Before we unlock the list of our top action movie stars, we have to establish what’s an action movie. We define it as a film where the main protagonist faces incredible odds in a race against time, heavily using stunts, weapons, explosions and chase sequences to tell the story. For the past 40 years, action films have been a staple in cinemas. The evolution of the genre has gone through many forms over the decades due to expanding budgets, over-the-top stunts and the reliance of technology (e....
Memes have essentially grown from silly internet jokes to become a form of entertainment in their own right. They embody fans’ true opinions of a piece of pop culture and often simultaneously make harsh criticisms about the state of society or the entertainment industry as a whole. So, naturally, some of the harshest, meanest memes out there are all about reality TV series. Reality television may be one of the most hate-watched genres in the history of entertainment....
K-dramas have a theme for about anything a viewer is looking for. There are suspense, dramas, thrillers, and highly popular love stories. Some may not want to admit it, but love stories involving falling in love with the boss are a guilty pleasure. Maybe it involves the shy new girl who catches the eye of the handsome and rich CEO. In some cases, the power play is reversed. Regardless, K-dramas have a way of hooking in audiences with their dynamic storylines....
Popular password manager 1Password for Mac has been failing to launch over the weekend due to its developer certificate expiring, as the company notes in a blog post. The same issue has hit a number of other Mac apps … Customers were getting an error message when trying to start 1Password […] We knew our developer certificate was going to expire on Saturday, but thought nothing of it because we believed those were only necessary when publishing a new version....
If you’re a movie fan – and we’re guessing you are, given you’ve visited Screen Rant – you’ve come across your fair share of confusing endings. While some films are downright baffling from start to finish, in a lot of cases, things only start to take an unexpected (and often inexplicable) turn during the closing moments. Sometimes, we can tease out the meaning behind a finale with bit of extra thought (not to mention a cheeky repeated viewing or two)....
When it comes to anime series, one of the most notable over the past couple decades has been Naruto, the manga-based TV show that lasted from 2002 to 2007, with a sequel series lasting from 2007 until 2017. Naruto attracted a large crowd of viewers, with its popularity arguably beating that of Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon at times. The series starred a young boy named Naruto growing up in his pre-teen and teenage years anxious to one day become the leader of his village....
Whether you love it or loathe it, if you’re a Batman fan, chances are you watch Gotham. Of course you do! Maybe it wasn’t what you were expecting from a Batman spin-off, and perhaps it’s been a bumpy ride along the way, but it still boasts some of your favorite characters from your favorite comic book franchise. When we say ‘Batman fan’, we’re not talking about the cinema audiences who have seen the Nolan films and kind of like the guy who may or may not have a mustache in Justice League....
Even in a large cast full of colorful characters portrayed by the best comedians in showbiz, Jack Donaghy (played with sardonic charm by Alec Baldwin) routinely stole the limelight on Tina Fey’s hit comedy series 30 Rock. As the self-possessed Vice President of East Coast News and Microwave Oven Programming for General Electric, he was a charming suit who loved truth, capitalism, and the American Way. Presiding over the writers and talent of the sketch show TGS, he dispensed his pearls of wisdom while swirling a glass of scotch in his hand....
When it comes to horror movies, everybody has something different that scares them. Maybe that something is evil dolls, ghosts, or even possessed children. There are already decades worth of horror movie, but filmmakers continue to pump out flicks that make people’s spines tingle. Even though people are scared by different elements in horror movies, many people agree that The Exorcist is one of the scariest movies ever made. The Exorcist focuses on a girl named Regan MacNeil who is possessed by a demon and whose only hope is in the hands of an exorcist and a priest....
Put them together easily at home. We recommend JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks – spanning) because if one drive fails, you’ll still have the data on the other – and the speed of RAID 0 won’t help because of other bottlenecks in the system. But don’t worry, the system is plenty fast to play HD Movies to numerous computers/set top boxes at the same time. It is also an FTP server and iTunes music server built-in....
Deleted scenes on home releases of movies were almost unheard of in the days of VHS tapes due to the limited amount of space that was available and there being no easy way to access the clips without waiting until the movie was over. It wasn’t until DVDs became popular that you started to see deleted scenes being included as extra features. These would go on to be a huge selling point of the home releases, to the point where fans would accuse movies of saving good material in order to get people to buy the DVDs....
Though Friends had a core group of six, many one-off and recurring characters came and went during the course of their lives. Some of those characters were positive additions to the series when they showed up; they added to the storylines, characters’ relationships, and comedy. They also offered insight to some of the main six and sometimes opened up a path that some characters could have explored. Maybe they added a family element that was sorely missing before their introduction, or maybe, they were a positive influence on one of the six, either romantically or platonically....
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....
