Givenhow many science fiction classics have actually predicted the future, it’s easy to link great works of cinema with real world innovations....

There aren’t that many movies deserving of the cult classic title, and comedy is another genre without exception. Thoughcomedy is often more subjective than any other genre, some features get the instant cult classic title while others take time to be noticed and appreciated for their impact. Whilesome have aged poorly, others have aged like fine wine and made the ranks of the comedy hall of fame. Some great cult comedies, fromRocky Horror Picture ShowandOffice SpacetoScary MovieandMean Girls, are often mentioned for their inevitable impact on wider audiences....

Horror is incredibly difficult to perfect. Multiple films have shown terrifying promise —Lights Out,The Nun,One Missed Call— before ultimately falling short of expectations, either due to shoddy writing, over-the-top jumpscares, or even just bland storytelling. Whatever the reason, many horror films miss the mark, and while they can be scary, they are far from perfect. However, some horror movies have come close to perfection. What makes a good horror film perfect?...

While the family were living in Westwood, LA, talent agentIris Burtonspotted Phoenix and his siblings singing for spare change and became so enamored she offered them representation....

If you had told me at this time last year that the best episode ofArrowSeason 5 would be a flashback-heavy one, I would have laughed in your face. “Kapishuon” proved me wrong by giving us a thematically-resonant episode that made Oliver — and the audience — face the stark darkness in his crusade without the rose-tinted glasses. Arrowhas often prided itself on being the “dark” part of the CW’s superhero universe, and it is, partially because there is very little competition (though Barry is trying really, really hard to unseat Oliver from his throne)....

Wepreviously reportedthat an anime by the name ofBatman Ninjawould be arriving both in Japanese theaters and on Blu-ray/DVD thanks to a collaboration between Warner Bros. Japan and DC Entertainment, but the first trailer for the film is available now. And it’s (un)predictably insane. Some of this footage was previously screened during New York Comic Con and a description of the visuals made its way online, but those words pale in comparison to the act of viewing the thing itself....

Her most recent role inMidnight Masswas completely different than the one she played inThe Haunting of Hill House, both of which can be found on Netflix. Siegel has played women that are warm or cold, women that can see the best in people, and those who anticipate the worst. The two aforementioned shows were also part of a continuing collaboration between herself and her husband,Mike Flanagan, who directed those projects....

InBlood of Zeus, the new Netflix Anime series fromCharley and Vlas Parlapanides, Heron, a commoner living in ancient Greece, discovers his true heritage as a son of Zeus. His true purpose? To save the world from a demonic army. That’s about as classic a hero’s journey as you’ll find.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesscovered a lot of bases throughout its runtime. Not only did it serve as the first standalone sequel forBenedict Cumberbatch’s Sorcerer Supreme, but it was also the fourth Marvel Cinematic Universe project to explore the concept of the multiverse followingLoki,What If…?andSpider-Man: No Way Home. In addition to dabbling in the superhero and horror genres, thanks to the deft hand ofSam Raimi,Multiverse of Madnesstransforms into a tragedy where Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) is concerned....
