5 Films That Actually Deserve A Remake
In this seemingly unwavering era of Hollywood sequels, reboots and remakes, it has become a rarity for an original property to grace our cinema screens. Though this trend has already become played-out and tiresome, with box-office flops such as Ghostbusters (2016) and The Mummy (2017) proving that name alone is not enough, the powers-that-be show no signs of slowing. The next few years will see numerous reboots/remakes hit the silver screen. Get ready for a new (but probably not improved) Jumanji, Mary Poppins, The Matrix, Police Academy, and Logan’s Run... to name but a few. As well as live-action reboots of all the major Disney properties.

From Board Game to Video Game, a Breakdown of the New Jumanji Trailer
We are now in an age where enough time has passed where a lot of the classic films we held dear to our hearts that came out back in the 90s are now being rebooted/remade as the film technology we now have allows us to take these films and give them a huge upgrade. Just this year we have seen Beauty and the Beast make a huge impact in the box office where instead of an animated film, we got the same story with the same beloved songs in a live action film.

How 'Thor: Ragnarok' Leads Into 'Infinity War'
As the countdown starts to one comic books biggest battles, the Marvel films are starting to piece together where we have last seen characters and the arrival of Thanos. Thor: Ragnarok is its own standalone film focusing more on the comedic destruction of Asgard and it's newly established king but it does set up some ground work for Infinity War.

Five Movie Deaths that Made Me Shudder
Shudder — tremble convulsively, typically as a result of fear or revulsion. Movie deaths such as Leonardo Dicaprio’s sudden death in The Departed certainly take you aback. Nonetheless, the turn of events don’t rise to the level of the definition above. The same goes for the iconic ending of Fredo in The Godfather. You hope against hope that Michael will exempt his own brother from the Mafia code of loyalty, but the gasp does dissipate as the cost of doing business.

Freeze Despicable Fans! 'Minions' Revealed How Gru Got Hold of the Freeze Ray
'Freeze Ray! were the first words we heard out of Gru's mouth and shouting 'Freeze Ray!' while freezing people made it even cooler. That's how Gru bought all our love right from the start and the #DespicableMe franchise started getting all the attention it needed. But how did Gru come across his treasured pal? The Minions movie revealed how he acquired it, in a brief camouflaged scene. Missed it? No worries!

5 Reasons Why Newt Scamander Might Have Visited Hogwarts In 'Prisoner of Azkaban'
Newt Scamander, the protagonist in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, made a mysterious blink-and-you-miss cameo in the Prisoner Of Azkaban movie that left all Potterheads baffled. He was shown only for a few moments as a name tag moving about in the Marauder's Map. Seeing as he was born in 1897, Newt was probably in his nineties when the events of Prizoner of Azkaban were underway. It might have been just an Easter egg for enthusiastic Potterheads, but I think it had a greater influence. Let's look into some reasons which might have driven him to a brief Hogwarts' visit.

Could Red Skull Be Alive and Working with Thanos?
Johann Schmidt (a.k.a Red Skull) gave us a shock in Captain America: The First Avenger when he pulled off his synthetic face and revealed the reason he got the name 'Red Skull.' He introduced us to the first Infinity Stone in MCU, the Tesseract, but he did not live long enough to savor its power since he died after a brief encounter with Captain America.

Could Gamora and Her Sister Ultimately Be the Cause of Thanos' Downfall In 'Avengers: Infinity War'?
When we talk about superheroes it doesn't necessarily mean caped and suited men. The womenfolk of Marvel have proved themselves indispensable to the #MCU and Gamora and Nebula tops the list. Thanos, the possessor of the Infinity Gauntlet is finally coming to wreak havoc in 2018 when the curtain rises for Avengers: Infinity War. We have never met him before leaving the exceptions in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and in post credit scenes of a few movies. But a man wielding the Infinity Stones should be a matter of concern for not only the Avengers, but for all living beings on the galaxy.

Could Sequels to 'Fantastic Beasts' Establish Grindelwald as a Stronger Wizard Than Voldemort?
After the revolutionary Harry Potter series, it's Newt Scamander who now has the reins in Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them and the upcoming sequels. The first installment already grossed a staggering $812.5 million worldwide. This David Yates' fantasy film was the ninth installment in the Harry Potter franchise, produced and written by J.K.Rowling herself. After the success of that film, we couldn't be craving for a sequel more, especially considering Percival Graves turned out to be Gellert Grindelwald (portrayed by Johnny Depp) in disguise!

Why the Minions Are Given Less Screen Time as the 'Despicable Me' Series Progresses
Minions have given the Despicable Me series a different outlook and have gained so much attention that they had to be given a separate movie. They have been loved, cursed and hated, yet they have enthralled audiences enough to become a noted phenomenon. These short, yellow creatures with their unique language have induced so much laughter and entertainment that they have been adopted as the official mascot of Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures. But as the series progresses, the Minions are shown for fewer minutes. Why is this happening?

How 'Wonder Woman' Gave Me Hope for Women In Film
Walking into the theater, preparing myself to see the film that women have found so powerful, I had some pretty high expectations. I also had heard that many women had gotten pretty emotional while watching this film so I was anticipating feeling some sort of emotional wave that would pass through me as I first watched the film. Not only did I cry multiple times throughout the film, I discovered a new type of feeling of empowerment, a feeling that I have never felt before while watching a film in theaters.
