You know what they say, the hero is only ever as good as its villain. While this is true, there have been plenty of times when the villain has overshadowed the movie’s protagonist, making its maniacal antagonist the star of the show. Sure, with the sheer number of comic book movies releasing each and every year for well more than 40 years, there have been way more irritatingly boring villains that we try so incredibly hard to forget....
A few days ago, it was announced that Lucasfilm had indefinitely delayed Star Wars: Rogue Squadron due to creative differences with director Patty Jenkins.

It was hot and muggy when I visited the set of Beautiful Creatures in Baton Rouge, Louisiana this May, the kind of day that makes you feel bad for actors dressed up for an outdoor shoot.

Some of the most compelling horror films in recent memory have been directed by women.

For a character that was planned to meet his maker in the first season, Steve Harrington’s Stranger Things run has been pretty eventful and much longer than expected. However, whether he will make it beyond the end of Season 4 is something that the Duffer Brothers are happy to tease may not happen – something they have said about all of the much-loved characters in the show. Although there have been a number of deaths in Stranger Things across its four seasons, there has so far been no major characters killed off....

The cast of characters developed in the show leaves room for several spin-off ideas....

The Bob’s Burger Movie burst onto the silver screen in 2022, much to the admiration of its anxiously awaiting audience. The Bob’s Burgers Movie debuted to phenomenal critical reviews. Though Bob Belcher himself would find being mentioned alongside rotten tomatoes, given his penchant for perfect produce, utterly appalling, long-time viewers of the Fox series were delighted to see their favorite family finally get the fanfare they deserve. Of course, The Bob’s Burgers Movie would not match the magic of its TV series if any of the Belchers failed to make an appearance....
