The greatest success of Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead, the first movie in his Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, is that it isn’t a spoof of zombie movies. It works spectacularly as a zombie movie on its own – it just happens to be funny. If you removed all the jokes and sight gags, it would still be a scary and effective zombie horror film....

Movie fans the world over have been spoiled over the last ten years as Marvel Studios has not only built a shared universe featuring some of its most popular characters, but also inspired other studios to attempt to do the same.

The Justice League has been DC’s flagship superhero team for decades. After fighting against injustice for more than 50 years, it’s no surprise the League’s history has accumulated some odd details. Some of those moments are charming, like the Atom’s tiny flying chair at JLA meetings. Some of them stem from a writer trying to shake things up (that badass Batman secretly plots to destroy his team!) or coming up with a quirky story (a teenage boy figures how to kill the JLA)....
Other common tropes of the comic genre include clones, robot replicas, battles of the consciousness, and mind control. Long story short, it is ridiculously easy for a comic book character to end up fighting against themselves. Nearly every major superhero has fought a character that was similar to them in nature; Spider-Man fights Venom, Superman fights Zod, etc. However, surprisingly few comic book characters have actually fought themselves directly. To count for this list, the characters have to be of the same genetic material or biologically related....

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is not only one of the best Spaghetti Westerns ever made but it also ranks highly in many “Greatest Movies Of All Time” lists. Director Sergio Leonne created an everlasting masterpiece in this final installment of the Dollars Trilogy. A perfectionist, he was one of the few filmmakers who believed in bleeding for art. Stanley Kubrick appeared to share similar beliefs. Apart from its catchy theme song, the film stands out for its quotes....
TV shows offer the audience a chance to vicariously live their fantasies through fictional characters. This can be something as simple as being in a relationship with a beautiful/handsome person. The exact definition of attractiveness varies widely from person to person, so it’s not unusual to see relationships on television where there is a significant age gap between the couple. There have been occasions where the age gap is so wide that it becomes creepy....
Being over 2000 years old may mean you have a lot of grey hair, but it also means you have a wealth of life experience and the wisdom that comes with it.

Before he tried to follow Anthony Bourdain’s footsteps, the whole world knew Gordon Ramsay as the angriest chef ever.

Horror movies often take our deepest, darkest fears and manifest them into physical form on the screen. They subvert our expectations of what it means to be afraid by taking our psychological discomfort and using it against us. The best horror movies prove that just because the abominable terrors on the screen can’t reach us, doesn’t mean we’re safe from them.
