Although the 1980s and ‘90s are often thought of as the peak of the genre, the 21st century has provided more than a few modern action classics. Advancing technologies, a growing appreciation for stunt performers, and more interest in reviving classical franchises have led to an era in which action can be considered “prestige.” Although not all of the blockbusters …

Cinema is all about action; movement, change, and energy are all the basis of the Seventh Art, so it’s no surprise that for many decades, the action movie genre has been one of the most popular. But while some of history’s greatest films have been action movies, some of the worst of all time have also belonged to the beloved …

War movies are some of the oldest movies in cinema, with some being over 100 years old. The primary purpose is to showcase the great or gritty areas of war, especially wars long past, bringing the conflicts to the audience so that they may never forget the sacrifice that many of these soldiers went through. It’s a genre that’s hard …

The Golden Age of Hollywood has been credited for delivering some of the greatest films of all time, such as Casablanca, All About Eve, and It Happened One Night. The era is known for its never-ending cascade of legendary stars, including Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, and Marlon Brando, and award-winning filmmakers like Billy Wilder, John Huston, and Orson Welles, but …

Spider-Man is one of those characters who’s been played a few times now by actors in high-profile live-action movies, so that can make picking the “best” Peter Parker/Spider-Man actor difficult or, at the very least, potentially divisive. It’s not like Superman, where the answer is pretty clearly Christopher Reeve (sorry, Henry), but it might be a little easier than picking …

Alan Rickman feels as though he’s one of those actors just about everyone likes. It’s hard to dislike someone who always brought their A-game to every movie they appeared in, and also starred in various popular movies. More often than not, Rickman was one of the best parts of any movie he was featured in, regardless of the size of …

FBI: Most Wanted is one of the most watched shows on CBS, and its stars have all gained significant traction on social media. From Dick Wolf, the FBI spinoff series is a high-stakes drama that focuses on the Fugitive Task Force, an elite unit that relentlessly pursues and captures the notorious criminals on the Bureau’s Most Wanted list. Across its …

When it comes to watching movies as a family, sometimes it can be hard to find something everyone can enjoy. Adults and children make for two very different demographics, so it is likely that they’ll have different tastes and expectations. What kids find watchable may not be entertaining enough for their parents. However, there is one cinematic element that appeals …

Movies—even spectacle-centric ones, like action flicks—live or die by their screenplay. The script is the birthplace of the ideas that serve as the foundation of a movie. Without compelling characters, a well-written story, memorable themes, and a sound structure, even a movie that some might consider somewhat “mindless” is bound to fail. Throughout history, the action genre has been subjected …

“Good morning, angels,” the voice on the telephone would say. “Good morning, Charlie,” the three lovely women would reply. The premise of 1976’s Charlie’s Angels, a crime drama that aired on ABC for five seasons, centered on three talented, capable, and ass-kicking women who solved crimes while working for an elusive and unseen boss, Charles Towsend.
