Spider-Man in Review: Maguire vs. Garfield
Tom Holland’s debut in Captain America: Civil War has been met with great fanfare; he seems to combine the charisma of the backflipping, wisecracking Spider-Man with the new-kid-on-the-block, quietly nerdy persona of Peter Parker. Tobey Maguire even praised him on Twitter. But since we’ve seen less than a half an hour of Spidey-Tom in action, we can’t throw him into the ring with actors who’ve done the role for multiple movies - yet.

Best Marvel Comic Movies
Comic book movies are hot right now, and none more so than those from uber-awesome comic book publisher Marvel. They pretty much wrote the book on iconic heroes, from Spider-Man to the Incredible Hulk, and we reckon that these movies are the absolute best out there.

Defining the Western. Top Story - October 2016.
After much movie-watching, researching about film, and a thought-provoking conversation or two, I ask myself: is "The Western" a genre of a film, or just the setting of one? How do you define it? If John Wayne isn't the star, is it even a Western? Do people still even make western films?

History of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movies
After the middling reception of the first Michael Bay produced Ninja Turtles film released in 2014, there seemed to be a legitimate enthusiasm and excitement surrounding the next installment that hadn't existed for a Ninja Turtles movie since release of the very first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie back in 1990. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows in 2016, offered fans things they’d always wanted to see on film, but weren’t technically capable of making the transition previously.

What Rey Means to Me (And Geek Girls Everywhere)
Several years ago, Ellen Page made an incredibly relatable observation that could have come straight from the pages of my own childhood in the early 90s. “As a girl,” she said, “you're supposed to love Sleeping Beauty. I mean, who wants to love Sleeping Beauty when you can be Aladdin?”

History of Movie Publicity Stunts
The biggest publicity stunt in movie history was probably Mike Todd's million-dollar send-off for Around the World in Eighty Days. That would be $8,700,000 adjusted for inflation today. The 1956 film was adapted from the novel of the same name by Jules Verne. As a technicolor action adventure comedy, it follows the journey of Phileas Fogg, a Victorian Englishman who bets he can circumnavigate the world in 80 days with the new steamships and railways. To celebrate the production and release of the book turned movie, Mike Todd hired the old Madison Square champagne supper for 18,000, offering prominently among other hors d'oeuvres, his wife Elizabeth Taylor on a pink elephant.
