'A Series of Unfortunate Events' FINALLY Gets a Make-Over
It's been 10 years since Nickelodeon tried, and failed, to make the beloved book series A Series of Unfortunate Events into a successful movie franchise. While many fans had been looking forward to it, it became an unmitigated disaster, with the focus being more on the cameos and Jim Carrey's slapstick comedy than on the actual plot, diverging from the more serious tone of the books. While it still had the dark moments, and was shot with a very grim air about it, it didn't coincide with the absurdity and wackiness with which Carrey, who played the villain, was trying to portray in Count Olaf.

Shantay You Slay: What Happened To The Spin-Offs Of 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'?

Rated as Entertainment Weekly's No. 9 of 20 Best TV Series Finales Ever, "Chosen" served as a fitting swansong to the show while still leaving the door open.

Slay Another Day: 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' Cast Talk Show Revival At Birthday Reunion
Unless you have been hiding in a crypt, you may have noticed that rather small cast reunion for #BuffytheVampireSlayer's 20th anniversary. Buffy, Angel, Willow, Spike, Xander (in fact, everyone apart from Giles) was back in the most nostalgia-filled reunion since Leia hugged Chewie. Presumably bathing in the toasty waters of the Hellmouth has some age-defying qualities, because damn, the cast of #JossWhedon's hilarious #horror still look the same age. It is amazing to think that some two decades have passed since #Buffy first stepped through the doors of Sunnydale High.
