What Actually Happened to Jacob at the End of 'Fantastic Beasts'?
(WARNING: This article contains spoilers for the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. You've been warned.) Plot hole? Or an open ended story by J.K. Rowling? There is one thing that has left fans pondering over once they've finished watching #FantasticBeasts, and it's nothing to do with the protagonist, Newt Scamander, or even any of his beasts. It's about the "No-Maj" who accidentally stumbles into the magical world. That's right — Jacob Kowalski, the baker.

Bat's A Lotta Trouble: 'The Lego Batman Movie' Poster Has The Whole Gang Together!
While Batman v Superman languishes in love it or hate it hell, and the ghost of Joel Schumacher's bat nipples still haunts us, could the perfect Batman film be just on the plastic-bricked horizon? With its all-star cast of Will Arnett, Michael Cera, and Ralph Fiennes, it looks like The Lego Batman Movie will be built high with talent when we open the box and throw away the instructions next year.

Bending of a Trope: How 3 Iconic Franchises Made the 'Chosen One' Cliche Work
We're all familiar with the story of the Chosen One. It usually starts with some vague prophecy about a hero and ends with the protagonist raising up to that predetermined destiny. It's an age-old trope we keep coming back to and for good reason, as it can serve as a wonderfully simple way for giving the plot focus and driving it forward. Unfortunately, it can also be one of the most uninspired ways to tell a story and a symbol for a storyteller's utter lack of creativity.

When Less Is So Much More: 6 Minimalistic Masterpieces
Movies have a magical ability to capture our imaginations and transport us to fantastical worlds full of excitement. However, perhaps more importantly, they are also able to uncover the wonder hidden within our everyday lives. This is a type of a cinematic magic that doesn't require a huge budget or an elaborate set up — just a few cameras, passion and a fair amount of brilliance.

No Bay, No How: Michael Bay Says He Won't Direct A Marvel Film
Oh, mighty Lord Bay, we are not worthy of your talents, please take mercy on us humble movie viewers. As the Marvel and DC franchises lock horns in the box office battles, don't expect Michael Bay's Transformers to get involved with any superhero civil wars. It looks like after he has finished doing whatever it is #MichaelBay does with #Transformers, he won't be setting his sights on the #MCU (thankfully).

Five Things Frozen 2 Can Learn From Once Upon a Time
With the popularity of Frozen, it was almost a given that the movie would get a follow-up. Before they could release one, however, Disney gave rights to the ABC show Once Upon a Time to use the characters in an arc through the first part of Season 4. They used most of the characters from the movie, and came up with a very unique storyline, starting from a short time after the events of the first film took place. While some may be straying too far from the source, such as the Snow Queen, some of the ideas could be very useful in the follow up to the 2013 film.

Disney Descendants 2 Already in the Works!
In a tale as old as time, Disney Channel gave us the beginnings of a story in which we witnessed the children of Disney's greatest villains beginning to immerse themselves in the hero's kids.

Ranking the Harry Potter Films Worst to Best: A Book Fan's Perspective
Harry Potter was a staple for many of us in our childhood. While all of the movies and books have something to enjoy in them, some of the movies left something to be desired. As a fan of both the books and films, here are what I believe are the worst, and best, of the movie franchise.

'Ant-Man' is Small but Packs a Punch
With Marvel having brought out their big names earlier this summer with Avengers: Age of Ultron, it is hard to imagine that anything could top that movie. In the end, while the box office numbers don't match those of the Avengers, I found myself having a better time with Ant-Man and his friends.

"Wreck it Ralph" star Confirms Sequel
Back in 2012, we were introduced to the world of what goes on behind the scenes of our favorite video games, in the movie Wreck-It Ralph. It was a heartwarming story, making us feel sympathy for a bad guy, who wasn't really such a bad guy, he was just the reason Fix-It Felix had to fix things, it was how the game was set up. He was actually a really sweet and lovable guy when he wasn't having to wreck things.

What to Expect from "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has been in the worst kind of post-production limbo. With losing directors, release dates being changed, and the film having wrapped back in November, one couldn't help but wonder if the movie would ever rise up from the metaphorical grave.
