Remember that timeBrad Pittstarred in a high school murder/mystery?How about whenJeff GoldblumandEd Begley Jr.went to Transylvania in search of Frankenstein? Hey, everyone has to start somewhere, right? All the A-list celebrities we know and love today had to have “first roles ever.” Some were arguably better than others. And some…well, some were B-movies.Related:First Trailer for SYFY’s ‘Day of the Dead’ Series Embraces B-Movie Gore and HumorWhat exactlyisa B-movie? It’s usually described as a low-budget film....

Network TV shows, especially those that have a longer run, often feature a rotating cast of characters. Sometimes, characters are introduced and seem to be set up to be a main part of the series but are never heard from again. There are many reasons why this could happen. Sometimes, there aren’t in-universe explanations, and characters simply vanish from their respective series.These character disappearances can sometimes cause baffling continuity errors....

Well, here we are again. The year has come to a close, and I’m here with my annual Top 10 movies list. According tomy Letterboxd, I saw 135 new releases in 2018, so I feel like I’ve done my due diligence in trying to whittle that down to my favorite ten movies. As always, the point of this list is for recommendations. If it’s not your job to see over 100 new releases every year, then you might need some guidance on what’s worth seeing....

in theaters–and not many did, considering it had the year’s best opening weekend for an original animated feature–you’re in luck! The excellent family-friendly movie from DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio is now available on Digital, 4K, Blu-ray and DVD to bring home today, just in time to get all wrapped up as a perfect holiday gift. And while the magical, mythical, and musical journey across China is fun and entertaining enough on its own, the home release’s special features will give young viewers plenty to learn about and even more to do....

Sometimes you’ve got to make changes to take a big step forward, even when that change means leaving a hit TV show. HBO’sBig Lovewas a huge get for rising starAmanda Seyfriedback in 2006. She had already doneMean Girlsand worked onVeronica Mars, but being part of the stellar ensemble of an award-winning HBO show gave her the notoriety to make some major moves and that’s exactly what she chose to do after the show’s fourth season....

If you’re looking for proof that TV shows should not have 20+ episode seasons, look no further than this week’s episodes ofArrowandThe Flash. While they both have their merits, they were mostly filler episodes at a point in the season when these superhero shows should be doing anything but treading narrative water. We’ve been waiting weeks to see the proper return of Prometheus/Chase, especially after the final moments of last week’s episode saw Chase finding William....

When The CW scooped upSupergirlfrom its original home on CBS, it was all but guaranteed that the latest addition to the network’s ever-expanding superhero line-up would crossover with her crime-fighting counterparts. The CW has done a great job of setting the landscape for crossovers betweenArrow,The FlashandLegends of Tomorrowby setting up characters on a parent show before spinning them off into their own vehicle. And the opportunity for interconnected adventures has only grown more freewheeling and fun since the introduction of time travel onLegendsand alternate dimensions onThe Flash....

By now, we were supposed to have already seen theAvatarsequels. IfJames Cameronhad stuck to his original plan,Avatar 2would’ve been released in 2014, andAvatar 3would’ve capped the trilogy in 2015. And yet, as Cameron continued to design the sets and worlds of the sequels, he expanded the story, assembling a writers room in 2013 that consisted ofJosh Friedman,Rick JaffaandAmanda Silver, andShane Salerno. These teams were each tasked with writing anAvatarmovie, and as the 2014 release date came and went, Cameron was now aiming for a December 2016 release forAvatar 2....

On a hot and sunny afternoon last summer, a group of journalists and I were invited to Pinewood Studios outside of Atlanta to observe filming and interview the cast and creatives ofAvengers: Infinity War. There wasn’t much travel for me personally since I live in Atlanta, but it was the first time I was able to see the massive Pinewood complex, which is the biggest physical indication of how much “ATLwood” has grown over the last decade....

Over the last decade license video games have seen a major uptick in quality. That arguably all started with theBatman: Arkhamseries of games from Rocksteady Studios.

Rachel Skarsten’s Alice (a.k.a. Beth Kane, Kate’s long-lost twin sister who was kidnapped as a teenager and held captive for roughly 13 years) has spent the first two seasons ofBatwomanwavering as a villain. Sometimes she has put her vendettas aside to help the Bat Team, but sometimes she has crossed the line and gone full-blown villain, like the time she murdered her step-mother, Catherine Hamilton (Elizabeth Anweis). One thing is for sure, though: Alice’s story has been primarily led by the characters around her....
