Movies like Zero Dark Thirty, Hidden Figures, and The King's Speech are just a few critically and commercially acclaimed stories that brought to life significant periods of human history. Of course, there are films on the other end of the quality spectrum that, though based on real life, are devoid of authenticity, or fail in terms of accuracy. One genre that has been a staple in cinema history — and one that we are currently witnessing a boom of sorts — is the biopic, or biographical movie.

<![CDATA[Best Film Noirs of the '40s & '50s, Ranked ]]> Though its conception is still argued and debated, there was no denying the strange phenomenon happening in American cinema around the turn of the early 1940s. The term, originally coined by French critic Nino Frank, was the outsider who observed what had been unraveling on the big screen. To define noir by its atmosphere and the list of clichés would be a disservice to the masterpieces that fit into its description, but, it's a good place to start. The films often have a cast of misfits, desperate people, low-level criminals, hard-boiled detectives, the hard-drinking man caught in over his head, and the femme fatale. The noir film had its ingredients but what was present was the use of hard shadows and a sense of melancholy to elevate the pulpy material.

<![CDATA[Best Chris Pratt Movies That Aren't Marvel]]> When you think of Chris Pratt, odds are you immediately think of either his role as Peter Quill in the Marvel Universe or his quirky-humored character of Andy Dwyer in the TV show Parks and Recreation. While those are both great roles, Pratt has actually starred in a number of films outside these renowned properties. Indeed, Pratt mostly dabbles in humorous roles that showcase his personality, but in the films where we get to see his comedy combined with action sequences, we get award-winning performances. With roles in sci-fi/fantasy films to Disney Animation films and starring as a LEGO character, Pratt’s filmography is extensive and combines his silly demeanor with edge-of-your-seat performances.

<![CDATA[These MCU Movies Had the Best Opening Weekends at the Box Office]]> Opening weekends are said to be a crucial factor in determining a movie’s overall success. Whether that’s still true in current society, where things are rapidly changing as much for cinemas as for the audience itself, remains a big question within the industry. The global pandemic, COVID-19, changed the way many viewers watched movies and essentially moved the idea of streaming forward. On top of that, the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike has had a serious impact on the production and release of films and television shows, with many upcoming releases being pushed back. There are ongoing questions on whether both of these changes within the media industry will have a major effect on traditional cinema viewing.

<![CDATA[The 12 Best Slasher Horror Movies, Ranked by Rotten Tomatoes]]> The slasher film genre has its origins in other types of horror, such as the Italian giallo and influential murder mysteries like Alfred Hitchcock’s seminal Psycho. The fall of the studio system in the 1970s gave way to an entire movement of young, disaffected filmmakers who made their own kinds of movies, free of the rigid constraints of Hollywood. Chilling terror classics like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and the original Halloween came out of this period, and laid the blueprint down for slasher films to come.

<![CDATA[10 Horror Sequels That Should Have Been Much Scarier]]> As with other genres, horror sequels can be a hit or a miss. It is rare that a horror sequel surpasses the original, and it is more than likely that the sequels will be subpar to the original. Sometimes the sequels are mostly as good as the original, at least enough to warrant a franchise, such as the case with the Scream movies. Sequels in any genre of film run the risk of being perceived as insignificant compared to the original, and unfortunately, many of them are unnecessary. We have seen it with blockbuster franchises that continue to pump out new movies just because it will make money, not necessarily because it adds anything new or insightful to the franchise. With horror, it's usually a smart move to make sequels, because traditionally horror movies cost less to make than other movies. The difference is, horror sequels don't just run the risk of not living up to the original or being subjectively awful, they run the risk of not being scary.

From Natasha Romanoff to the Scarlet Witch, each one of them has their own cool powers, emotional and physical strength, intellect, and intriguing personality. But there are also some women characters who are underrated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one of them being Peggy Carter, played by Hayley Atwell. She definitely had more to her character than just being the love interest of Captain America. The standalone series Agent Carter also gave us an in-depth exploration of her resilient persona.

The turn of the millennium represented multiple changes to the film industry from both a technical and creative point of view.

<![CDATA[8 Mark Wahlberg Movies That Deserve More Credit]]> Mark Wahlberg is unquestionably one of the last few “movie stars” that can generate interest in a project based on his name alone. After a series of working with auteurs in the 1990s on projects like Boogie Nights and Three Kings, Wahlberg transitioned into becoming one of the biggest action and comedy stars of his generation. While he occasionally does prestige projects like Martin Scorsese’s The Departed (which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor that he arguably should have won), Wahlberg has become a good representative of mainstream cinema. Perhaps someone should have taken him up on his offer to make a sequel to The Departed that would have united him with Brad Pitt and Robert De Niro for an ensemble cast nearly as stacked as its predecessor.

First released in 1981 with the film Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Indiana Jones franchise became a major hit. The combination of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas is one key reason why this series has received such a large fan base. However, the protagonist, "Indy", also plays a significant role in attracting the audience, and so, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is a must-watch for anyone who likes adventure films, or Ford or just, Indiana Jones.

For instance, billion-dollar-grossing movies like Avengers: Endgame, Avatar, and Spider-Man: No Way Home are few in the ocean of CGI-packed movies that revolutionized the cinematographic experience. Naturally, movies and shows are receiving an increasing technical makeover to keep up with this trending formula.

<![CDATA[Best Dark Comedies Ever Made]]> The phrase 'dark comedy' just hits the ears in an unusual way. How can comedy and dark thematic elements blend together on screen? Well, to understand the phrase, it's important to discern just what establishes a dark comedy. Most of the time, this genre is fundamentally layered with darker subject material.

<![CDATA[12 Movies That Overused CGI (And Suffered for It)]]> CGI can either be the sole source of a movie's imagery or seamlessly integrated into live-action footage.
