He was introduced in the American sci-fi horror Stranger Things in season 2 to play the role of Bob Newby, Joyce Byers’s (Winona Ryder) boyfriend.

For as horrifying as Teen Wolf could be sometimes, the show also had a habit of slowing things down to deliver some heartbreaking moments. Whether they be massive character deaths, devastating dialogue, or events of recollection, they bring about tragic emotions. Given the number of villains who have rampaged through Beacon Hills, the McCall Pack is constantly forced to deal with people getting hurt or dying. Although they try to protect everyone, sometimes, things can not be avoided....

It’s a genre beloved by many and despised by others, but even those who say they hate rom-coms have a couple of secret favorites. They can provide the perfect pick-me-up after a long day or a much-needed cathartic cry. There’s a sincerity present in the genre that is often lacking in pure comedy movies, and it’s this approach to romance and emotion that will never get old. Watching someone confess their feelings under heightened circumstances — running through traffic, in the pouring rain, in front of a huge crowd — often feels more heroic than watching someone save the world....

As a fan of the western genre I look forward to pretty much every western I hear is in the works since they come so few and far between nowadays. I am also a huge fan of Sergio Leone and Terrence Malick; two directors who use extremely long takes with exquisite deep focus photography. I had never heard of Andrew Dominik until I researched this film, and when I checked his history and saw that he had only done one other film called Chopper I felt skeptical as to what he would do with The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford....

Young adult novels, and movies based on those novels, have seen a popularity boom in the past decade, largely due to blockbusters like the Hunger Games series. Apart from major franchises, there have also been many successful standalone young adult book-to-movie adaptations. The young adult genre as a whole provides an intimate look into the lives of teenagers as they deal with school, relationships, family, and identity. These movies faithfully adapt their book counterparts and excellently portray the pain and joy of the teen experience, creating a memorable experience for viewers....

From the many popular franchises based on young adult’s literature that have been released throughout the years, people tend to forget about The Chronicles of Narnia. Although there have been talks about a possible fourth movie, The Silver Chair, joining the movie series, the idea has seemed to be dropped altogether after, according to Screen Rant, Netflix purchased the rights to all of C.S. Lewis’ books in 2018. It is said they are planning to make their own reboot of the series, with producer Douglas Gresham hoping to make a series instead of a movie....

Bruno Heller wants to create theatrical closure to his critically beloved and prematurely canceled HBO drama Rome, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “There is talk of doing a movie version,” he said. “It’s moving along. It’s not there until it is there. I would love to round that show off.” The lavish period drama ran for two seasons on HBO, which co-produced the series with the BBC. With the final season of The Sopranos as its lead-in, the first season was solidly rated, but high production costs presented the network with a tough call on the pickup....
