Joining Charlie are four other children and their parents, embarking on a day-long factory tour led by Wonka. This extraordinary day unfolds with surprises - some bitter, some sweet - for both the children and Wonka himself.

Loosely based on a true story, the series is set during the Golden Age of Piracy in the 1700s and follows "Gentleman Pirate" Stede Bonnet as he abandons his aristocratic lifestyle to become a pirate, where he crosses paths with the notorious Blackbeard and the two fall in love. The show has run for two seasons so far, and although a third isn't guaranteed, the show's success makes it likely, and it would be the final season.

Set in the magical kingdom of Rosas, it follows a young girl named Asha (Ariana DeBose) who learns a dark secret about the king, Magnifico (Chris Pine). The movie is meant to serve as a love letter to all things Disney, but critical and audience reception was mixed, mainly taking issue with its story, which is as cookie-cutter as one could imagine.

He found success in his home country in the early 1960s before moving to America, where he directed several masterpieces, including One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus.

His films live on and hold up well, despite the fact Hitchcock himself passed away in 1980, and his final film was released in 1976. Many of his best works don't feel like they live in the past, or merely feel like products of it. The best of his works still feel alive, exciting, and vital, and that's a reason other filmmakers have always been influenced by him, whether it was back when he was alive and making movies, or in the years since 1980.

These core aspects that have made French cinema a staple for so many decades also apply to the numerous creative and iconic animated films to be released by filmmakers in the country.

It’s rare to find a show, especially one as popular as Bones, that managed to be on the air for such an extended amount of time without experiencing a significant quality dip. That challenge is even greater for procedural shows like Bones; after a while, the same “case of the week” style mysteries are bound to get stale. However, Bones did a great job at spacing out its major storylines as it introduced some of its main villains. This made Bones feel unique among procedurals, particularly due to how genuinely creepy some of the show’s serial killers could be.

The film’s commentary grasps so many concepts of the modern world that has become naturalized by capitalism and its avenues of promotion, to the point where its harms have been buried in the process. Fight Club forces viewers to open their minds to the rejection of these naturalized inhibitions to find true peace with themselves.

Robert Redford, Leonard Nimoy, Clint Eastwood, and Greta Gerwig among others were all movie stars before they became better known as directors. It’s not surprising that so many actors decide to step behind the camera after a career in front of it. While playing a great character may be enough for some, getting involved in a story’s inception and the physical production of a film offers a different type of reward. While movie stars have a limited amount of time when they can remain at the center of the cultural conversation, a filmmaker has the ability to continue pushing the boundaries of the medium well into the later stages of their career.

The very idea of a costumed man sneaking into your home to reward the good and punish the naughty is already pretty messed up -- and that's before you dive too deep into the truly creepy holiday mythologies from around the world.

It's a descriptor that gets paired with plenty of other genres, and broadly applies to movies that aim to show the human condition in some way, usually through portraying realistic characters who are challenged by everyday - and often relatable - struggles, often with other people. Character-focused sci-fi or fantasy movies can still be considered dramas, as can comedies, if they have enough serious material (in turn becoming dramedies).

It’s been 15 years since the last book was released, and 11 years since the last movie hit theaters, and yet the IP is as strong as it ever was. Harry Potter is ubiquitous in the form of elaborate theme parks, video games, and of course, the highly re-readable novels. But Harry Potter doesn’t begin and end with the books. As with anything that’s popular nowadays, Hollywood came calling rather quickly, and the first Harry Potter film was released a little over a year after the fourth book hit the shelves. But in another minor miracle, the Harry Potter film franchise was able to maintain a level of quality rarely found in film series that stretch on past one or two movies, let alone eight. The Harry Potter movies visualized what book readers had long fantasized about in their heads, and with the creative input and blessing of Rowling, they were able to evolve and grow just as the novels did, with four different directors bringing a variety of flavors to the series from film to film without sacrificing character, story, or continuity. It’s a magnificent accomplishment made all the more impressive by the fact that there’s not an outright bad movie in the bunch. As the franchise remains as popular now as it was a decade ago, now seems like as good a time as any to revisit the Harry Potter films and rank them worst to best— a somewhat difficult task given the high standard of quality throughout.

The former can happen over and over again, whilst the latter, unfortunately, happens just once, and then that's it. It can be hard to see a fictional character depart their fictional mortal coil, but at least the actor can (and usually does) go through reincarnation - in a way - and show up as a new character in a new piece of entertainment. Death is inevitable and constant in fiction, which means that the question of which actor has died the most times on screen is never set in stone. Every new thriller, action, or horror movie can get someone closer to claiming the title of the most killed actor. For as long as there's on-screen violence, there will be fictional deaths, and looking at those actors who have the most on-screen deaths remains a morbidly interesting subject for fans of genres where violence is common.
