The Marvels arrived on Friday, 10th November, and what a fun addition to the MCU it is! Despite the negativity surrounding the film and a less-than-stellar opening weekend, the film is a delightful and refreshing journey with three fantastic characters.

As we continue another great year of horror films, Brian Duffield’s sophomore film, No One Will Save You, is an absolute triumph for the genre and one of the best of the year.

So, Kenneth Branagh got his way and made a third Hercule Poirot movie without still caring that he is the least French Englishman ever. But at least, this time he finally nailed it and gave us an entertaining movie. This week, “A Haunting In Venice” premieres in theaters. We all remember the convoluted, A-list super

These days there are a lot of shows coming back for revivals. Futurama might be the king of that as it’s a series that has survived cancellation nearly five times now. First premiering on Fox back in 1999, before being cancelled for the first time in 2003, it was saved thanks to reruns on Adult
After 20 years, ‘Haunted Mansion’ is getting a facelift. In 2003, Walt Disney Pictures invited audiences to a version of ‘Haunted Mansion’ that frightened them – away from theaters and the notion of ride-based films entirely.
