The Pied Piper, The Seven Foals, and 3 Other Fairytales That Deserve Their Own Feature Film
With the recent success of fairytale classics remade into live-action such as Into the Woods, Maleficent, and this year's Cinderella, it's no doubt that the following years will be huge on the fairytale live-actions. Pan is upcoming, Beauty and The Beast is already in post-production, and a few other animated classics are slated to have their own live-action makeovers as well. There's definitely going to be a resurgence of the fairytale/fantasy genre in the succeeding years to revive our own thirst for magical and epic adventures!

Why Steve Harrington Has Been a Great Character from the Start
So in the past few months since the release of season two of Stranger Things, new light has been shed on supporting character Steve Harrington. He's gone from the douchey boyfriend with a great head of hair to the hilarious and protective babysitter, with a great head of hair sponsored by Farrah Fawcett Spray. Everyone is now in love with Steve and are apologizing for hating him in season one, which is great, but here's the thing; he wasn't the bad guy in season one.

'Fear the Walking Dead'
I didn't used to like zombie movies or television shows. I tried to watch The Walking Dead but couldn't seem to get into it like all my friends did. I watched World War Z and liked it a lot, even though it wasn't like the book. I'm not one to usually complain when the book and movie don't match; I understand creative differences as such. I decided, one day, to watch Z Nation, and that one really piqued my interest. One day while scrolling through the TV listings, I came across Fear The Walking Dead, but I didn't put two and two together on that one at all. I didn't bother reading the show description. I thought it was a documentary on why people are scared of a zombie apocalypse or something.

DC vs. Marvel
So far, it’s no contest. The DCMU vs the MCMU, quality-wise, has been a one-sided affair. Marvel films historically have earned rave reviews and dollars equivalent to their quality. DC films have earned money ... but with the exception of Wonder Woman, few have been as universally loved as their Marvel counterparts. Now, we’re not counting the Nolan Batman films in this mix, at least one of which certainly could compete for the finest comic book film yet made (The Dark Knight, the only movie of either “universe” which has—deservedly—won a major Oscar—Heath Ledger as The Joker). For the purpose of this article, we’re referring to the batch that began with 2013’s Man of Steel for DC, and Iron Man for Marvel in 2008.

Why 'Grace and Frankie' Is the Best Comedy Show Out There at the Moment
As someone from Britain with a very British sense of humour (and yes that's humour with a U) I have always preferred British comedy to American comedy. Whilst I have enjoyed American comedies, I've found over the years that they are severely lacking something fresh and distinctly funny. Shows like The Big Bang Theory just aren't cutting it anymore. Enter Grace and Frankie, the Netflix comedy. Discovered through complete boredom, it may be the best TV decision I ever made. Starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, Grace and Frankie is the story of two women in their '70s whose husbands come out as gay and have fallen in love with each other. We follow Grace and Frankie, who move in together, and see their personalities clash but also get a glimpse into the lives of the two ex-husbands Robert and Sol and all their children.

Goosebumps, Adrenaline Rush and Tears: Top 10 List of Great Filipino Films You Should Definitely Watch in Your Next Movies Night!
One thing that I really miss about being in the Philippines is watching telenovelas, because we have so many good ones! Not to mention the ridiculously cheesy romantic comedies with dramas. Moreover, we also have a whole range of diversity in our film industry. In general, movies can have a magical impact to the audience regardless of the age, gender, and perception. In the Philippine Box Office, a potential hit are the ones that consist of a stellar cast, directed by the industries' finest,with moral lessons or unforgettable love teams. That's the conventional pattern and it applies to all genres.
