Earlier this year, Ryan Reynolds reprised his role as the merc with a mouth and managed to supersede fan expectations by giving us a sequel to Deadpool that was just as good (or perhaps even better) than the original. We got bloody gore and highly inappropriate jokes, awesome new characters…

Since premiering in 1999, South Park has savagely mocked everyone, from Republicans to Democrats to Barbara Streisand. However, in the 2006 episode Manbearpig, the target seemed off. In the episode, Al Gore visits town, and spreads apocalyptic warnings about an imaginary monster called ManBearPig, an allegory for global warming. Gore…

There are some actors who are so closely associated with an iconic movie role, that you just can't picture anyone else effectively playing the part. After watching them on the big screen, and seeing the star own the role, you just think "They are the character." Just imagine Han Solo…

It's been five long years since Breaking Bad, widely regarded by critics as one of the best television shows ever made, finished for good. Even though we have the spin-off, Better Call Saul (starring Bob Odenkirk as the eponymous morally-dubious lawyer), it doesn't quite scratch the same itch for many people…

Throughout October, I'm sure many of us tried to get into the Halloween spirit by watching a scary film or two. Perhaps you finally psyched yourself up to watch the remake of IT from last year, or maybe you went for an old classic such as The Exorcist or The…

The Walking Dead has been going strong for years now, with many different castmembers joining and leaving the show. It's part of the premise really - no one is safe in this post-apocalyptic world, so there's no certainty that you're favourite character will make it out alive by the end…

The first Bad Boys movie came out in 1995, and thrilled audiences with wild blend of action and comedy. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence had found success on television, with The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air and Martin, but this was their first major hit on the big screen. The movie…

Anyone who has watched The Haunting of Hill House will agree that there are plenty of tearjerking moments on the show. However, for the director of the Netflix series, there's one emotional episode in particular that is the "heart of the show". Speaking to The Wrap, Mike Flanagan recently revealed that when…

Despite the fact that it came off the air over a decade ago, Friends is still going strong. In fact, there are plenty of people who are into the show despite the fact that they were way too young to understand half the jokes when it was on TV. The…

It feels like it's been a long time since we last got an episode of Game of Thrones, and that's because it really has been. Normally we'd be getting a new season every year, but they're taking an extra year to create the eighth (and final) season - undoubtedly because…

Despite coming out over 18 years ago, Gladiator is still a force to be reckoned with. Not only did the epic garner eleven Oscar nominations and five wins, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Russell Crowe, but it earned itself a huge fanbase along the way. Pretty much everyone…
