With Buffy the Vampire Slayer turning 20, do you feel old yet? While some us may soon be trading in our fangs for dentures, it seems like only yesterday that we met the feisty Chosen One from L.A. Dusting off your stake and your DVDs, Buffy is always worth a revisit, even two decades later. We laugh, we cry, we screw up our faces to look like a vampire, while there is something quintessentially wholesome about the town built on the Hellmouth....

Established in 1929, The Academy Award of Merit, also known as the Oscar, is presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (AMPAS) to honor the finest artists working in feature films. Why it is known as the Oscar is disputed, but the most commonly accepted legend is that a secretary working for The Academy saw the first sculpted award - a golden statuette of a bald man clutching a sword - and declared “He looks just like my Uncle Oscar!...

If I were writing a conventional review, my 16-inch MacBook Pro review would be a little late to the party. But my Diary pieces are all about how my impressions build over time with real-life use, so it’s less important in this case that I took delivery of mine exactly a month after it first went on sale. I hadn’t initially planned to buy it because, on paper, it simply didn’t seem to be enough of an upgrade:...

1917, a World War I drama about two soldiers (Dean-Charles Chapman and George MacKay) who must deliver a life-saving message to an attacking division deep in enemy territory, has earned ten Academy Award nominations including Best Director for Sam Mendes and Best Cinematography for Roger Deakins. Indeed, 1917’s most impressive feat is its camerawork and shot composition, helmed by the legendary Deakins, who has been nominated for 15 Oscars including his sole win for Blade Runner 2049, and examining the kinds of shots 1917 uses reveals how the film creates its immersive emotional effect....

Stanley Kubrick stands as one of the greatest filmmakers to ever walk this planet. One of his most celebrated and influential works is the science-fiction masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey. Its bizarre story spanning hundreds of thousands of years culminates in an unforgettable climax which still confounds many to this day. One of its most impressive aspects is the detailed look at the future. Every set is brimming with endless detail most viewers would never spot, but it helps contribute to the overall atmosphere....

While Netflix remains far and away the most popular streaming subscription service out there, it’s fair to say that their selection of movies isn’t quite what it once was. Netflix is opting more and more to focus on their own original content, and while much of that content is good, it doesn’t do much for those looking to take in a great movie that Netflix didn’t produce. Reduction in library size aside, Netflix still plays host to some truly great films, ranging all the way from relatively recent superhero adventures to bonafide Oscar-winning classic dramas....

While most would agree that The Curse of the Black Pearl is still the best installment of the series, The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise continues to crank out movies and rake in boatloads of money — making it the twelfth highest-grossing film series of all time. The latest addition, Dead Men Tell No Tales, was released in 2017 and once again found Johnny Depp suiting up to play the swaying swashbuckler Captain Jack Sparrow....

After years of female superheroes being overlooked by directors and producers, 2016 is shaping up to be a breakout year for female heroes (and villains) of every sort. It’s no secret that many in the film industry have voiced skepticism about the marketability of female protagonists. Female-led comic book movies like Catwoman and Elektra have frequently been brought up as proof of this idea, ignoring the fact that those movies were just plain bad, regardless of lead’s gender....

When you think of the Syfy channel, images of cheesy monsters, and unoriginal plots probably come to mind. Or you think of the Sharknado franchise. The network has a major history of airing amazing television programs in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres. If there’s one channel that’s not afraid to try adapting a book or a movie into a series, it’s Syfy. On the other hand, since the network is steeped in the speculative categories, budgets can easily skyrocket because many scenes need CGI, unique costumes, or elaborate sets....

Die-hard fans coming up with dream casting for films is almost as old as sliced bread. It happens almost every time a new comic book film or TV show is announced. Most fans have a distinct view in their minds about who should play Iron Man - guaranteed it wasn’t Robert Downey Jr ten years ago. It probably wasn’t Tom Cruise either, he was lobbying hard for the part before he started jumping on couches....

Following the Wii U, which, despite strong sales of a few of its titles, was ultimately a commercial flop by most standards, a lot of people were ready to write Nintendo’s eulogy as a hardware manufacturer. However, as anyone who has been around for awhile is well aware, Nintendo should never be underestimated and is always ready to bounce back from the brink of failure in spectacular fashion. The Switch just celebrated its two-year anniversary and is showing no signs of slowing down, breaking sales records left and right and is in striking distance of the Xbox One to become the second best-selling console of the current generation....

Schitt’s Creek still has one more season to go before it’s over for good. While fans might still be sad about this, they can definitely agree that the show had a great run. One of the things that make this series so great is that it is extremely hilarious while still having a lot of heart.

The year 2018 will be renowned as the year of Black Panther – a movie that left an indelible imprint on both the pop culture and societal landscape of the world. Already, the movie has eclipsed the $1 billion dollar mark at the global box office and is on track to surpass the eight slot in the highest grossing movies of all time list. It currently ranks as no. 3 in the United States’ box office all-time....

If you’re making a list of notable horror figures in pop culture, Elvira absolutely must be on that list. The creation of actress/comedienne Cassandra Peterson, the so-called “Mistress of the Dark”, was born on Los Angeles television station KHJ back in the early ’80s. An audition was held to find a new host for their late night weekend horror show Fright Night following the death of original host Larry Vincent. Peterson, who was once a member of the comedy troupe the Groundlings alongside former Saturday Night Live star Phil Hartman, landed the gig....

Superhero origins range from iconic (Kal-El rocketing away from his doomed world) to idiotic (getting super-speed from a transfusion of mongoose blood). Either way, writers can’t seem to resist tinkering with origin stories. Sometimes, it’s for practical reasons — Tony Stark no longer became Iron Man in the Vietnam War, as that would make him a senior citizen in the modern era. Sometimes, a writer wants to fix some inconsistency, or just wants to tell the story their way....
