Slasher Movies have a special place in the hearts of horror fans. The structure is typically quite formulaic – a mysterious killer has a strong desire for stalking an unsuspecting victim and creating a gore-filled scene by killing said victim with a sharp weapon of choice. More often than not, this killer has his or her sights set on slaughtering many people, until they are eventually caught. If you’re lucky, there will also be a captivating backstory to the rhyme and reason for the seemingly random killings....

Warner Bros. made a pretty surprising announcement recently, that one of the Wachowskis (but not both of them) has been working on a fourth movie in The Matrix franchise, and Keanu Reeves will be back to play Neo, with shooting set to begin early in 2020. On the one hand, it’ll be fun to delve back into the rich fictional universe of The Matrix trilogy again. But on the other hand, in today’s moviegoing landscape, studios will reboot any franchise they have, no matter how necessary it might be....

The Office and Friends both concluded decade and near-decade-long runs on TV quite some time ago, but that doesn’t stop just about everyone from constantly referencing them today. The two shows made television history, and are known as being incredibly smart, funny, and relatable. They broke the typical sitcom mold with unforgettable characters and storylines, and have definitely earned their places as iconic series. Friends began airing on TV in 1994 and concluded with ten seasons in 2004....

Roland Emmerich’s 1998 Godzilla is one of the most prolific bad movies of the 1990s. It serves as an example of what not to do when adapting a pre-existing story, and still gets ridiculed to this day. “Zilla,” the new name of the film’s version of Godzilla following Toho’s disapproval, was essentially just an oversized iguana that could breathe fire. Not Godzilla whatsoever. Zilla hosted the extraordinary power of disappearing in Manhattan, one of the most densely populated places in the world, and hosted the weaknesses of a real iguana, like tanks and jets....

When we talk about situational comedies, or “sitcoms,” we’re talking about shows designed to make us laugh. Iconic sitcoms contain equal parts stellar casting, memorable characters, laugh out loud writing, and high energy physical humor. Technically, all sitcoms follow a very similar formula “Sitcoms… are typically 22 minutes long [with] a script of 25-40 pages. Every sitcom episode has a main plot (story A), as well as one or two subplots (stories B and C)… There are three main acts… with 3-5 scenes per act....

During the ’90s and early ’00s, a classic subgenre resurged that imposed itself as a favorite among women: romcom. The renaissance had considerable success for about two decades, so much so that some very well know actors such as Demi Moore, Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, and Hugh Grants made it their go-to for some time. However, over the last decade, romcoms have made themselves shy as women all around the globe put their foot down and affirmed themselves in our society....
