Marvel Studios made their grand return to San Diego Comic-Con after a three-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and certainly did not disappoint. While it was originally believed they would only be showcasing stuff for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and would save any big announcements for D23 in September, Marvel Studios opted to go all out this year....

Dexter is one of the longest-running Showtime drama series of the mid 2000s. Created by James Manos Jr., this horror-crime drama series has amassed a cult following, with more than 24 Primetime Emmy nominations.

From the excessively gory moments to the highlights of the story, here are some of the best episodes of Dexter, ranked:...

Biographies about musicians and artists are becoming more popular in the modern age of film. Curiosity for knowledge and gossip still exists, but seeing history play out on the screen is more engaging to audiences nowadays versus reading material out of a book for the same information.

With Red Notice breaking records on Netflix and probably in line for a sequel, Black Adam in the can and heading to cinemas next year to usher in a possible franchise of its own and Jungle Cruise heading down the river again at Disney, you would think that Dwayne Johnson might want to take it easy for a little while. That doesn’t seem to be the case though, as his Seven Bucks production team is already setting their sights on a number of future projects, including new stories and a return to some old properties, of which 2015’s San Andreas appears to be one....

The Good With this film they wanted to shock and they did. The Bad This film borders on the preposterous at times. Jigsaw aka John Kramer is dying from brain cancer. He enlists his assistant Amanda (Shawnee Smith) to kidnap Dr. Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh) to help cure him, all while running a game in his enormous lair with Jeff Reinhart (Angus Macfayden). However, nothing about Saw III is really that simple and by the end of the film, we come to realize just how strong the bond is between Jeff and Lynn....

Ah, so we finally have an episode that doesn’t introduce or re-introduce any superheroes or super-villains. (Not counting Kara, who has been missing for the past four episodes.) No, on tonight’s Smallville, all we have to deal with is family drama amongst the Kents, the Els and the Luthors. Not that “family drama” amongst these families can’t be plenty interesting enough. And on an unrelated note, I’d just like to point out that geeks have significant others too....

The show follows four main boys, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman, as they experience life in the zany Colorado town of South Park; each episode sees the boys amid some wild conflict, accompanied by even wilder local townspeople. Some of these townspeople are only seen in a single episode, never to be seen in the long-running series again....
