Editor’s Note: This article contains spoilers for the last two episodes ofStranger ThingsSeason 4Like many of you, I spent this weekend watching the final two episodes of Season 4 ofStranger Things. And I have to admit, when I got to the end, I was like, “What the hell just happened?” Max (Sadie Sink) was caught in Vecna’s (Jamie Campbell Bower) clutches. Her bones cracked, her eyes went white, and she began to bleed....
Yes, yes, it’s heresy. Remakinga beloved classicis often seen as lazy at best, sacrilegious at worst. Still, some stories age better than others, and a few (brilliant as they were or still are) could actually thrive with a new cast, a fresh lens, and a modern context. These aren’t films that need fixing; rather, they’restories whose bones are strong enough to carry a new voice. Whether it’s through updated politics, deeper character work, sharpened imagery, a new time and place, or simply a shift in tone, these ten classics are ripe for a smart, sensitive, and bold remake....

If there’s one list I love writing every year, it’s this one. Forget the Oscar bait and indie critical darlings, we’re here to celebrate the purest escapist entertainment of the year. That’s not to say popcorn movies can’t be good, even incredible (as some of the films on this list prove), but they are by and large either spectacle-driven, in it for the shits and giggles, and above all, just want to show the audience a good time....

It’s here. The long, sad drought of 2020 is almost over, and new episodes ofThe Mandalorianhave arrived. TheJon Favreau-created series, which was not only the first-ever live-actionStar Warstelevision show but also one of the premiere series for the brand-new Disney streaming platform Disney+, was a sensation right out of the bat, thanks largely to its winning combination of oversized action, technological breakthroughs, and utter adorableness (in the form of Baby Yoda)....
Potentialspoiler warningif you aren’t caught up with The Walking Dead’s Season 8 return, “Honor.” If you think that there’s a good answer for whyChandler Riggs' Carl Grimes was killed off onThe Walking Dead, I am sorry to tell you that there is not. Carl is one of a handful of characters that remain on the show from Season 1, which is a meaningful thing for fans.

There was nothing in the 1980s that hulking homicidal monsters and knife-wielding maniacs hated more than a significant date on a calendar. Revenge? Sure. Pleasure? Maybe. But woo boy, if a holiday popped up, roughly 10-15 young people were gonna' attend a party and immediately die. Buoyed by the runaway success of 1978’sHalloween—which itself was a play on the equally holiday-themed bloodbathBlack Christmas—producers started pairing up festivities and slaughter in an effort to hit that sweet, bloody payday....
