Deadliest Movie Sharks
You either love sharks or they scare the crap out of you. But if you’re like me, sharks both scare and intrigue you. Like me, many people are fascinated not only by a shark’s beauty, but also by the badassery predator instincts they have. In celebration of this year’s shark movie The Shallows, where our worst nightmares come alive of getting stranded on a rock in the middle of an shark waters are told by actress Blake Lively, we are honoring the best ‘sharkplotation’ movies of all time.

Guide to the Best CW Superhero Shows
If you’ve paid any attention to the CW fall 2016 schedule, you’ll notice a certain pattern. At this point, CW should rename the channel DC TV. Supergirl, Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow add up to four different DC Comics based TV shows on one network—technically iZombie makes five, but since it doesn’t crossover with the other four, I’m leaving it out of this article.

Best Horror Podcasts. Top Story - September 2016.
Although radio dramas once populated the airwaves, fiction has never dominated the podcast charts. This all changed with the creation of horror, suspense, and sci-fi podcasts. Their popularity isn’t much of a surprise, but more so that it took this long to catch on. With horror themed movies and TV shows keeping us up at night, it was about time for the dark airwaves to make their mark.

Why Women Relate to Harley Quinn
With the build up to the Suicide Squad movie spanning nearly TWO WHOLE YEARS and a promo that rivaled some of the biggest movies to date, this gang of misfits had a lot to live up to. With names like Jared Leto and Will Smith amongst the stars, it was hard to know who would steal the show, but Margot Robbie's portrayal of the Joker's battered lady friend Harley Quinn has definitely taken center stage.

Legendary Jewish Superheroes
In many respects you could say that the characters from the Torah were the superheroes of the previous century. Mythic figures like Moses, King Soloman, and Samson served as the superheroes for a generation over a millennia ago. It could be argued that Moses was the ultimate comic book hero who starred in the the second volume of the greatest comic book story ever written: the Jewish Torah. It should be no surprise that the entire superhero archetype was invented by Jews, and the genre has featured so many different Jewish creators. During the high holy days, do Jewish superheroes need forgiveness or have their names already been written in the book of life for their heroic deeds? Are they really judged on Yom Kippur like the rest of the tribe? If you believe any of this, then it's the time of the year to recognize the legendary Jewish superheroes.
