But there are still empty spaces in this digital library, some of them rather conspicuous....

It’s safe to say the recent live-action remake ofSnow Whitehas been far from a box-office triumph. However, the lackluster returns have been a point of contention, with some pinning it down to thebacklash from the story’s modernization,whilst others have blamed the actions of its cast.Rachel Zeglerhas faced a lot of heat following her defense of her casting, yet you cannotblame her for this box office bomb.

Friends: Joey Tribbiani's Best Acting Roles

Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), the actor amongst theFriendsgang, certainly had a few intriguing roles over the course of 10 seasons. And with some solid acting techniques up his sleeve, why wouldn’t he? Having tricks for nailing every emotion on screen, he is a natural thespian. Of course, in true Joey fashion, they are pretty bizarre. He has the “smell the fart” acting for looking intense as he tries to remember his lines, the tweezers pull to get the tears flowing, and, for when he has to look particularly perplexed, he simply does long division in his head....

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio Review: One of the Best Adaptations of Tale

The world doesn’t need any morePinocchiostories. Sorry everyone, we’re all full up. WhileCarlo Collodi’s story of the woodcarver Geppetto and his wooden boy come to life have led to some great adaptations (Disney’s 1940Pinocchio), and some wonderful reimaginings (Steven Spielberg’s greatly underratedA.I. Artificial Intelligence), in recent years, we’ve had enough of Pinocchio. We didn’t need Disney’s nightmarish live-action remake of their 1940 film earlier this year, and wecertainlyhaven’t needed two different adaptations starringRoberto Benigni....

How Pretty Little Liars Informed the Past 10 Years of Teen TV

WhenPretty Little Liarspremiered on ABC Family in the summer of 2010, teen television had only just finished (to adopt a possibly labored metaphor) memorizing its freshman year locker combo. Critical aughts darlings likeBuffy the Vampire Slayer,Freaks and Geeks, andVeronica Marshad demonstrated just how inventive and artfully edgy stories about about teens on television could be, and primetime heavy-hitters likeThe O.C.,Gossip Girl, andGleehad proven how passionate (read: lucrative) the audiences who tuned in for those stories could become....
