If you’re only using your business Instagram to post pictures, you may be missing a golden opportunity. Social media platforms are now storytelling tools that allow your audience to understand and buy into your brand. Why does this matter? Brands that tell stories don’t just make more sales; they create more long term engagement – people come back, and more visits mean more revenue in the long term. Here are our top tips for storytelling on Instagram 1....

The biggest question for audiences after watching Dark Phoenix is why Sansa never used her psychic and telekinetic powers during the Battle of Winterfell. She sure had fun using her powers in this movie! Maybe it’s just a Stark family trait. Bran and Sansa have these amazing abilities, but they rather just watch everyone else die. What’s also important to know is that Game of Thrones has absolutely nothing to do with the X-Men franchise....

A surprising number of movies are changed in post-production. The director will be completely finished with a movie, but for whatever reason (usually lame test audiences), they will be forced to change the ending. Sometimes (read - very rarely) this is for the better. Maybe the test audiences WERE on to something and the director got lost in their own vision. Other times these endings are abhorrent disasters that ruin an otherwise movie....

Some managers may still remember the days when sales reps would turn up unannounced at the office with a suitcase of samples, trying to peddle their wares. Many of these sales reps could give a good speech. They knew their products’ benefits and could effortlessly give you a spiel on how their latest gadget would increase your sales, reduce your costs, or keep the showroom tidy. Yet after they left, you were often left with an uneasy feeling....

Cats released to the unforgiving, unprepared masses around Christmas, and reviews have been nothing short of scathing. The musical CGI train wreck of the season, the backlash has been so severe that the official Oscar campaign for the film has been canceled. And yet the movie does hold some merit on the awards front; for example, “Beautiful Ghosts” was nominated for Best Original Song at the Golden Globes. Despite its defeat, Cats is down, but is certainly not out....

Disney continues to pump out new live-action remakes of their animated classics. After Dumbo, the next film to come out is Aladdin. For many, the original Aladdin is a classic. Robin William’s performance as the Genie is iconic. The songs are unforgettable. It’s arguably among the top Disney films ever made. So any prospect of a remake is cause for alarm. Thankfully, there are reasons many think Guy Ritchie’s new Aladdin might be worth watching....

The work Marvel Studios has done with their cinematic universe has truly revolutionized the superhero genre. During the early 2000s especially, there were several Marvel films that failed to be as successful as the MCU is now in more ways than one. Where those films failed (although some succeeded), these new ones have learned and matured from the experiences. Here are five things we actually miss about those pre-MCU days and five things we could probably do with leaving in the past....

Netflix’s The Circle has been one of the surprise hits of the year. The reality show, which eerily feels like something straight out of Black Mirror, follows a group of contestants as they compete for popularity and a grand prize of $100k based solely on their interactions on a social media app, specifically designed for the show, called The Circle. Like all good reality shows, the series had a variety of moments that made viewers completely cringe in secondhand embarrassment and others that completely melted their hearts....

9-1-1 is a fun ride of a show. Filled with crazy situations but grounded characters, it is a very watchable show. So far they’ve given us buildings falling over from earthquakes, gas line explosions, bugs burrowed in influencer cheeks, and a main character kidnapped by her abusive ex. There are adorable kids, but also gruesome scenarios. It has everything! While the show entertains consistently, there are still some things that would be great to see....

Horror movies, especially slashers are incredibly well-known for having some of the most god-awful sequels imaginable. Two of the biggest offenders might be A Nightmare On Elm Street Part II, or maybe Halloween II. Then again, you’ll find people who are apologists for both of these films. Either way you slice it (pun intended) pretty much every franchise there is has someone arguing that any individual sequel is better than the original, or at the very least the best of the sequels....

The fictional worlds of Harry Potter and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina have a lot of differences between them, but obviously the thematic lifeblood that runs through them both is very much the same. In this world of magical children who are learning how to navigate the realms of witchcraft and wizardry, they must rely on adults around to teach them. And so it comes as no surprise that both Harry and Sabrina have their own magical schools, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Academy of Unseen Arts, respectively....

Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, premiered in 1996. The series followed Sabrina Spellman after learning she and her father’s side of the family are witches on her sixteenth birthday. The series was a sitcom, placing Sabrina in comical scenarios as she used magic to solve problems or create them. In 2018, Netflix premiered Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Also following teenage Sabrina Spellman, the Netflix portrayal is a darker toned drama. Sabrina faces much more life-threatening issues than those brought up in the nineties sitcom....
