Marvel’s Unprecedented Growth: Can It Be Stopped?
A year and a half ago I wrote an article just after the Marvel Cinematic Universe reached a worldwide gross of 10 Billion dollars in ticket sales.

‘Bonnie and Clyde,’ Released 50 Years Ago Today, Was a Revolutionary Movie That Now Looks Like the Last Work of Hollywood Classicism
Fifty years ago today, American movies were born again. That was the day “Bonnie and Clyde,” the lethally disruptive and exciting gangster saga that brought on the implosion of Hollywood — and the reinvention of Hollywood — was released in theaters. The gun-on-the-run magnetism of Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway; the ’30s desolation set to a jaunty bluegrass vibe; the bursts of violence and quick stinging death; the burnished colors;

Horror films deserve Oscar nominations too
Another year, another list of Oscar nominations. And yet again, as with most years in the history of the Academy Awards, not a single horror movie has been nominated. Sure, the dearth of award-winning horror flicks is nothing new, but as the genre continues to turn out excellent art, it's becoming harder and harder to justify the lack of awards recognition.

Why CG Sucks (Except It Doesn't) [2015]
Are computer generated visual effects really ruining movies?We believe that the reason we think all CG looks bad, is because we only see "bad” CG.

February 5th 1919 - United Artists created
By 1919, Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D.W. Griffith were all heavyweights in the rapidly growing motion-picture industry. Chaplin was a British actor and former vaudeville performer whose “Little Tramp” persona had made him one of the biggest stars of silent film.
