Sink Your Teeth Into these Frighteningly Fantastic Facts

Few movies based focused on the supernatural have caused as much of a social impact as the Twilight movies were able to do. Spanning from 2008 to 2012, the five Twilight Saga films managed to gross an almost unbelievable $3.3 billion worldwide, which makes it the current eighteenth highest-grossing film franchise of all time. Not bad for a series that started with a movie that was rejected by multiple studios and after finally being picked up, was almost scrapped due to pressure from the studio to cut $4 million from its budget. The Twilight movies were based on books of the same name by Stephenie Meyer, and tell the story of a human girl named Bella and the brooding “vegetarian” vampire, Edward, as they try and navigate the always bumpy road of falling in love. As the series progressed, more supernatural creatures were introduced, such as vampire-human hybrids, true werewolves (also called Childre

Italy, one of the most severely affected by the coronavirus pandemic, has a long and beautiful cinematographic tradition that spans from popular comedy to the sophisticated style of a large group of directors whose personal mark is truly indelible: Vittorio De Sica, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Federico Fellini, Ettore Scola, Michelangelo Antonioni, Bernardo Bertolucci. Here is a small but varied selection of films from Italy on Netflix in 2021.

Italy's contribution to cinema goes beyond names, beyond the contribution of actors and directors, and currents. Celluloid without Italy cannot be understood.

Therefore, don't expect obvious flicks on this list like "La Vita é Bella" (Life is Beautiful) or The Godfather, since that's not even an Italian movie! Here's a brief

The Blackcoat’s Daughter is a thrilling film that centers on three women — played by Emma Roberts, Kiernan Shipka, and Lucy Boynton. As Osgood “Oz” Perkins’ directorial debut (yes, he’s Anthony Perkins’ son), this film received mixed responses. But one thing’s for certain — the viewers are very confused by what happened. And it’s understandable why; the film combines demonic possession and mind-bending mysteries, all wrapped up in a gory bow. In addition, The Blackcoat’s Daughter is different than your average horror flick. Two different stories play out at the same time, and it’s difficult knowing what happens until you’re at the very end of the movie. We’ll make this easy for you and explain what happened. Keep in mind, this explainer post contains spoilers.

I’m not going to lie. I’m a massive Emma Roberts fan. I first became aware of Roberts after watching season three of American Horror Story. That season revolved around a coven in New Orleans. Roberts played celebrity and witch, Madison Montgomery. Roberts is extremely talented and can make a spoiled Hollywood brat likable. The 2008 comedy-drama, Wild Child, that Roberts starred in somehow missed my attention for almost a decade. Luckily, I stumbled upon this fun and honest movie on YouTube of all places, and have since watched it numerous times. Like most people, I’m a sucker for a fish-out-of-water tale. When a person is thrust into a situation or place that they’re not used to, is typically an appealing synopsis that I can get behind. Now, some movies rely too much on this premise without trying anything new or adding heart to a story. Thanks to Roberts and a script that doesn’t belittle its audience, Wild Child is a heartfelt and genuine look at

Tenet was a nice dramatization of the last year we've had, in which the difficulty is in finding the underlying beauty. But once you understand it, it's magnificent. At least the movie! And that's why we want to bring you not only the most intriguing insights on Tenet but on top of that, we have the films that best match Christopher Nolan's (confusing) masterpiece.

With ten feature films under his belt as the man in charge - eleven if we count this one - Christopher Nolan has transcended the term "director" to be classified as an "auteur" on his own merits. An adjective linked, among other things, to specific guidelines, obsessions, and signs of ident

A Lynchian descended aesthetic in its static delirium of saturated colors, and hieratic faces reach expressive psychological scrutiny. We are talking about Drive, and along with its analysis, we will bring you our best recommendations that drive into the sunset and our beloved film.

Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive was one of the most celebrated films of 2011. The critics at the time surrendered to this American-made film that told the story of a mechanic ( Continue Reading Best Movies Like Drive: Our Top List

Shows for Fans of The Flight Attendant

Touch Down on These Other Great Shows

I don’t think I’ve watched a show as stressful as The Flight Attendant since the early seasons of Game of Thrones. The show puts on an incredible balancing act, as it offers up suspense, dark comedy and a new take on the classic ‘whodunnit’ trope. Adapted from a book of the same name, The Flight Attendant is a fresh take on the murder mystery drama style of television that is sure to be the future of the genre. Intriguing characters, clever writing and the patience to tell a great story is what has made The Flight Attendant such a popular addition to the already stellar lineup on HBO Max. For anyone who hasn’t seen the show or binged the first season last year and needs a refresher, here’s a quick spoiler-free synopsis.
