Today, we’re all accustomed to the beauty of sharp color cinematography. However, there is still a lot we can all learn about film by watching the early classics in black and white. Even though it can be hard to get over the grainy film quality, older black and white movies can show off more contrast and impressive lighting techniques than movies in color. In addition, the lack of color and cinematographic pyrotechnics leaves space for the story and sound to really shine through....

Whether it’s a sitcom or a drama, there have been several great fathers featured on television. Parents in general have been featured throughout the history of TV, especially traditional nuclear families, but there are times when single dads or father figures are highlighted instead.

The meta horror franchise is responsible for some of the best movie openings of all time, and without them, the Scream franchise wouldn’t be as successful and as beloved as they are today. Equally, poking fun at the slasher genre while also playing to what the movies are mimicking, the openings are a great way to set the tone for the rest of the movie. It has to be said that the Scream franchise has perfected the art of the cold open, with their tense cat-and-mouse chases, iconic phone calls, and the creepy voice of Ghostface, alongside a great genre defying horror movie quiz....

There are few television shows that can be considered a cornerstone of pop culture and entertainment, as well as a modern day sitcom classic, Seinfeld is without a doubt one of them. With nine seasons and close to two hundred episodes, Seinfeld is not only one of the most successful comedies of all time, but one of the most quotable pieces of entertainment in history. While the series boasts an impressive roster of hilarious characters, it is Jerry himself who has some of the most iconic and memorable lines throughout the show, and they are typically lines that refer back to the personality and character overall throughout the series....

In a video posted to Twitter on Thursday, September 22nd, 2022, the same day that the sixth episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was released for streaming on Disney+, Jameela Jamil, who plays Titania, posted a satirical in-character online “rebuttal” to the events of the most recent episode, “Just Jen.” In a fourth-wall-breaking standalone wedding episode (that came at the most inconvenient time possible, just like any wedding), Jen Walters (Tatiana Maslany) is invited to the wedding of Lulu (Patti Harrison)....

So far, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has given Marvel fans, who are always ravenous for familiar faces, plenty of reason to celebrate. The show has already seen appearances from many popular heroes, including the Sorcerer Supreme Wong, the titular superhero’s cousin, Hulk himself, and a few folks that have not been seen in the MCU for quite some time: namely, Emil Blonsky, also known as Abomination. The series has also introduced a handful of new yet equally compelling characters....

The Suicide Squad star Joel Kinnaman looks a little frightened as he sits in his car with a gun in hand in the first look image from action movie maestro John Woo’s Silent Night. Unveiled courtesy of Variety, the image has lead star Joel Kinnaman no doubt preparing his weapon to enact his revenge in an action thriller that promises to be all action and little conversation. None, in fact, as Silent Night will reportedly have no dialogue....

It wasn’t necessarily the web-slinging heroism that made Miles Morales an instant fan-favorite. Rather, we can’t help but love the youngster when he sings along playfully to Post Malone’s “Sunflower” throughout 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. While Marvel has yet to announce a live-action Miles Morales joining the MCU, it’s something that will surely happen eventually, especially when there are, right now, many up-and-coming actors who should play him. Shameik Moore made headlines for his voice-acting performance as Miles Morales in Into The Spider-Verse, and we can’t wait for the two sequels, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) and (Part Two), which are set to be released in 2022 and 2023, respectively....

Andrei Tarkovsky has an unmistakable, everlasting presence in contemporary cinema — from the first season of True Detective to Christopher Nolan’s blockbusters; in the smooth panoramas of Alejandro González Iñárritu, the associative montage of Terrence Malick, the elaborate staging of Tarsem, and Lars von Trier’s use of color; in how Nuri Bilge Ceylan portrays landscapes and elemental forces, in the unhurried rhythms of Carlos Reygadas, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Bi Gan, Hayao Miyazaki, and many other adherents of slow cinema....

Since the beginning of 2022, the Omicron variant of Covid-19 has continued to wreak havoc across the entertainment industry, with Star Trek: Picard and The Late, Late Show with James Corden being two of the latest to halt production as the number of positive Covid cases increases to unmanageable levels on set. On the same day that L.A. recorded a record 10,000 new Covid cases, the news of the two shut-downs came in the same week that Sony delayed the release of Marvel movie Morbius, the Grammy Awards were postponed and several premieres and red carpet events were either canceled or delayed indefinitely....

It’s hard to definitively rank Star Wars characters. Jedi, Sith Lords, rebels, stormtroopers, generic aliens — they’re all just great. The original trilogy of films first captured worldwide audiences in the late 1970s, and, since then, countless new characters have joined the roster since. Some iconic alumni have stuck around and returned to appear in the newer franchise installments, like Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series, as well as the legendary likes of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill in the sequel trilogy....

Science fiction has shared elements of futurism across media within the genre. The idea that there is the possibility of having operational relationships with somewhat-sentient technology has become a prominent asset to the genre that has become an expected, if not anticipated, trope. It has stretched across different formats, whether it be through anthropomorphic robots or hyper-self-aware artificial intelligence. While the concept of droids has been omnipresent, the term was officially trademarked by Star Wars creator George Lucas and Lucasfilm....
