Remake. Reboot. Sequel. Prequel. Reimagining. These are the buzzwords that Hollywood uses when they put out a movie as part of a franchise. Rehashed. Overdone. Disrespectful. Lazy.

Toys and video games became the inspiration for Saturday morning and after school cartoons pretty heavily in the 1980s. Movies based on toys have been going on since the 90s. Movies based on video games have been made for close to that amount of time. All have had different levels of “success”, but most have […]
Toys as movies. It is not something new. When Transformers, GI JOE, He-Man, and Care Bears ruled the toy shelves they also ruled the TV airwaves after school and on Saturday mornings.

The actors come off as real people living their lives in some mundane job and the shooting style is like a small camera crew following them around no matter where they go. What made these type of shows […]
There are two types of stories we read about in an emergency situation: heartbreaking tragedy or miraculous survival. Sometimes they just show up in the news and we are left with a certain number of questions until it is not news worthy anymore as the story has been told. When it comes to airplanes there […]
Do you remember wanting to know everything that was going on behind the scenes with your favorite bands? We would hear rumors and tabloid trach about their lives and the dynamic within the group.
