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.

Movie Review: 'LBJ'
I don’t understand racism. It’s strange to write that down but it’s no less true, racism doesn’t make any sense. Why does skin color matter? What is it about skin color that bothers people? What could possibly cause a person to believe that their skin makes them superior? It baffles me. Life is hard enough, why carry such an unnecessary and bizarre hatred on top of that? I find that in my life I need as many friends as I can make. The world makes more sense when you connect with people. To rule out connecting with someone over something like the color of their skin is just not something I can make any sense of.

Monochrome Dreams
As a film fan, and a filmmaker, I am always dazzled when a director takes an old medium and reinvents it for modern audiences… Sometimes this can be as easy as a new take on an old shot, a new way to use old equipment, or a re-imagining of a once oft practiced routine…

Top 10 Must-Watch Studio Ghibli Films
After watching so many films and studying many more while I earned my degree in Film Studies, I got to thinking about what really got me so interested in film in the first place. I remembered watching Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service so many times when I was young that my grandmother gave me the nickname Kiki, which my family still calls me to this day. Studio Ghibli has never once disappointed me with their films, I may not like some as much as others, but I've liked them enough to start collecting every film they have ever produced.

Animals Rising
Between the impacts of climate change and humankind’s more conscious efforts to destroy wild habitats, it’s easy to view the natural world as being widely under siege and in retreat. Two recent films show how, pushed to the brink, the animal world might someday choose to strike back. Both are revenge fantasies in which cold-blooded humans are forced to pay the price for their speciesism — the term that philosopher and animals’ rights activist Peter Singer coined more than 40 years ago — and outright brutality. That both are from Eastern Europe is probably coincidental, as the sensibilities of the films are completely different.
