Cocomelon could never

Remember a time before comic book movies were popular? Yeah, me neither. If the past ten years are any indicator, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Cinematic doo-doo pile are here to stay. But what if Marvel and DC and everybody else were honest about how they make their dumb comic book movies? Roger Horton investigates.

Counting down the days until Scream VI!

I have to return some videotapes

Annabelle, and Chucky, move aside!

Some say that all Hollywood is these days is unoriginal sequels and remakes , and they aren't entirely wrong. However, not all franchises are created equally, and there are some crappy remakes that I will always be willing to see. My favorite franchises that have been repeatedly rehashed are Batman and Willy Wonka. I'm still conflicted over whether the OG Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) is better than the remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). The remake came out when I w…

Happy Tuesday, meme freaks! We're back with another rousing selection of the most entertaining Lord of the Rings memes we saw this week . As the holidays approach, the weather gets colder, and we (hopefully) have a few days off, we're feeling pretty good. Why?

It makes me feel comforted that hundreds of practically identical movies are playing on the Hallmark Channel all day, every day, during this time of year. Even during the rest of the year, the Hallmark Channel has committed itself to the values of churning out the same tired stuff b…

When Love Actually came out in theaters, I had just turned fifteen years old. My friends and I were slight anglophiles who worshipped accented singers like Robert Smith and Damon Albarn, and watched period pieces after school. The star-studded cast of Richard Curtis ' Christmas film made a screening a no-brainer. Colin Firth? Hugh Grant? Alan Rickman? Emma Thompson? I mean, come on. All the big names. It was mandatory. We had to see it, so we did and boy, did we love it. Sure, some of the plotl…
