Everyone has their Trek. It’s the show that introduced them to the Star Trek universe, the one that wormed its way inside their brain and took hold until they were thoroughly and truly hooked. For me, technically, that gateway show is Star Trek: The Next Generation, but if you asked which Trek show was ultimately the best one, for me, it’s Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Jennifer’s Body continues to be smarter than it gets credit for. It’s tough to pinpoint exactly what didn’t work for critics back in 2009, but the first swath of reviews were mixed at best; eight years out from its initial release, however, it’s evident that many were content to leave the film behind as a failed attempt to subvert the teen horror genre without delving into what really makes it a success.
Technically, it can fall into the "teen horror" category, but Jennifer’s B...

I first read IT a few summers ago, secluded in a lakeside cabin for the duration of 4th of July weekend. Limited cell phone signal, non-existent wifi; just me, the constant lull of waves lapping against the dock, and the words of Stephen King.

It's a primarily horror story, to be sure, in spite of recent debate on the subject...

The lasting appeal of supernatural stories is right there in the name. Tales about larger-than-life characters, inspired and perpetuated by legend, lore and myth, have carved out a lasting place in fiction throughout the years, and audiences continue to show up in droves for them. The success of stories about creatures such as vampires and werewolves and witches is only in part due to their fantastical origins, their powers that elevate them above the rank of mortal being. In t...

Fictional characters, in many regards, are like real people. They're products of the creative right brain, a result of inspiration. Some of them are manifestations of our worst emotions; some of them symbolize our better nature. From an audience standpoint, no two people are necessarily going to respond to a character in the same way -- much the same as people, we're not going to be a fan of every character we encounter in fiction.
But what makes a character -- and a female cha...

If you’re not fully caught up on Wynonna Earp, or you haven’t had the chance to watch the last two episodes yet, you may not realize that the show just managed to pull off one of the most badass things in its short history.
Episode five, “Let’s Pretend We’re Strangers,” was withheld from review screeners, so fans and critics alike tuned in together to watch the second season’s much-hyped 42 minutes last Friday -- and at the end of it all the big reveal wasn’t an evil demon or a...

Star Wars, for better or for worse, has managed to endure for 40 years -- and it shows no signs of slowing down. Since Disney's purchase of the franchise back in 2012, the company has jumped right back into the fray of making new Star Wars movies -- not only with picking up the thread of the main episodes but adding on by way of separate anthology films all set within the same universe. For fans both new and old, it's an exciting time; the promise of more Star Wars is leaving m...
