Tue, 26 Sep 2023 02:20:29 GMT en-US hourly 60 The Hunger Games films, which are based on Suzanne Collins' massively popular book trilogy, managed to captivate audiences with its incredibly gripping story set in a dystopian world. In the world of The Hunger Games, a totalitarian government controls twelve distinct districts and requires them to offer two "tributes" every year who will be forced to fight to the death in a televised event called the Hunger Games.

With a malleable acting persona and appearance, her roles have started to define her already accomplished career. Like a handful of established actresses today, she was introduced to the film world through a movie stemming from the American Girl doll franchise. Her first film performance was in An American Girl: Chrissa Stands Strong in 2009, where she played Gwen Thompson. Since then, she's popped up in several different genres, cementing herself as an adaptable performer.

Now, think of the top five most perfect movie trilogies of all time. Most probably wouldn't even get past three, and of those three, they would likely include the tale of hobbits making their way to Mount Doom. Their story was legendary even before director Peter Jackson got his hands on them, and afterward, there is no denying it. These films have so many popular characters known in pop culture today. One of the top being the King of Gondor, Aragorn, famously played by Viggo Mortensen.

Here, though, we’re looking specifically at makeshift weapons. Those that often emerge in moments of dire necessity, where characters are pushed to their limits and forced to adapt to harrowing circumstances. Whether it's battling hordes of zombies with household items, turning an entire house into a minefield of danger, or crafting unique weapons to outwit foes, these moments exemplify the resilience and resourcefulness of characters in the face of peril.

Thankfully, with the digital age we live in and with the advancements made by the entertainment industry, we can easily transport ourselves into imaginary realms while sitting in our living rooms. Calling streaming services a portal seems far-fetched, but it’s accurate, isn’t it? Among the many giants ruling the territory, there is Tubi, which packs more than just what serves the mainstream audience.

The approach paid off, as the film is one of the highest-grossing films ever with an estimated budget of $200,000 to $750,000 and ended up making $250 million worldwide in 1999.

Film lovers, or even just general audience members, can be hard to please, but some big-budget or small-scale studio projects divide audiences right down the middle. From early, experimental superhero films to controversial Best Picture winners, these are the movies that have been considered a success to at least some degree, yet have had a divisive effect. Whether they're strong or weak depends on the viewer, of course, but with these movies there a greater chance of them loving it or hating it than falling in the middle.

But while some movies rely on heavy and elaborate plots anchored by an ensemble of characters to pull the viewers in, the most precious movies are often those that extract the same impact and insight out of seemingly simple stories.

In an effort to impress his crush Allison (Vinessa Shaw) and prove to his little sister Dani (Thora Birch) that he was not afraid of legends based on some "hocus pocus," Max Dennison (Omni Katz) had no idea what he was in for when he lit the 300-year-old wick. Instead of spending the night parading around the neighborhood and trick-or-treating, the three kids found themselves running for their lives until the sun finally rose, turning the sisters to dust.

Some of these stories can hit you so deeply that they make you reflect on your life and past experiences. Most creatives in Hollywood draw from their own experiences to tell compelling tales filled with human emotion that reflect our lives at some point or even make us long for something we've yet to have on our terms.

Thankfully, only one on this list is real. The rest are fictional -- and the breadth of their power and devastation make us glad they don't exist. Some of these weapons require multiple parts to maximize its power. Others don't need anything; the weapon comes in one piece, already at its full potential. To compile this list, we tried to stay away from weapons that also serve as vehicles, like the Batmobile or the AT-AT walker from Star Wars, or suits of armor. The ranking of these weapons is certainly up for debate. Real or not, here are some of the strongest weapons that have threatened, pulverized, or wreaked havoc in their respective movies' universes.

The yakuza have been around in Japan for centuries, and their origins have been traced to almost 500 years ago now. And while these gangsters might still be seen on the streets of Japan today, marked by society’s disdain for tattoos and clothing deemed “gangster-like,” they have become mythologized through entertainment and arts of the country.

His life would change forever in 1989 with the release of Tim Burton's Batman, a movie that saw him take up the mantle of Bruce Wayne for a new generation. He'd portray the Caped Crusader once more in Batman Returns, but after 1992, he did everything he could to distance himself from the DC superhero.

Often looked down upon by the critics, the genre has always had its loyal fans who have supported it through thick and thin, sometimes sifting through wastes of celluloid to find that one diamond that makes it all worth it.

What can be definitively said about King is that his novels, novellas, and short stories were tailor-made to be adapted into major films. Today, there are around 60 films based on Stephen King's works, with that number continuing to grow in recent years.

Those reasons are what has made his career one to watch for, and he’s been able to mix personal projects that also get people to go to the cinema and spend money.

We picture vampires as having flawless skin, dressed in expensive clothes, and having six-pack abs. They are human, but without the weaknesses. The vampire has widely been romanticized. They have become more fantasy than fear.

Miles Morales' journey to becoming Spider-Man was a nice change of pace from the three Peter Parker live-action Spider-Man iterations that had come out since 2002. Across the Spider-Verse built on the foundation and characters that Into the Spider-Verse had introduced. Miles Morales, now having been Spider-Man for over a year, is more comfortable in his role as a superhero. Unfortunately, it also results in him lying to his parents about his identity and leaves him not entirely focused on school.

With shows like Only Murders in the Building and The Afterparty as well as the trio of films based on Agatha Christie's iconic detective Hercule Poirot, the "who done it" is a proven narrative concept that continues to succeed on the big and small screen. While Poirot novels have no shortage of film adaptations. Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile, and A Haunting in Venice are three Christie novels that have been adapted into modern-day theatrical successes by brilliant director Kenneth Branagh and with a treasure trove of Poirot stories available. Here are ten Hercule Poirot books that should be made into movies next.

Initially, Trolls mainly focused on pop music and the growing, unlikely friendship between Poppy and Branch. Poppy, the excited and charismatic princess of the land, and Branch, the fearful and cynical outcast, end up on a mission to find their friends and save them from becoming the main meal at a feast. In Trolls World Tour, the world expands, going beyond the pop music that was central to the original film. The sequel went on to tackle rock, country, rap, k-pop, and various other forms of music.

So, it's only natural that there would be plenty of British fantasy films that have a lasting impact on audiences and the overall genre. Some are considered some of the most famous fantasy films of all time and have spawned their own franchises.

]]> Mon, 25 Sep 2023 14:30:30 GMT https://movieweb.com/greatest-british-fantasy-movies-of-all-time/ In most iconic gangster movies, law enforcement officers only appear as supporting characters. The biggest chunk of the screen time is dedicated to the lawbreakers, and it’s only until things go south for them that the authorities show up and put cuffs on them. This formula has always worked well since stories about hoodlums tend to be extremely fascinating.

The film rose to the occasion of the challenge presented to it by the Multiverse Saga and the audience. Not a film to let down the viewers, the movie brought back five of the main villains from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man films and even brought back the two previous Peter Parker variants as well. The movie even ended on a tragic and unexpected note, with Peter Parker sacrificing the life he knows to save the world, which resulted in everyone left in his life not remembering him, and Peter left to watch the streets alone as a lonely Spider-Man.

Pictures wanted to launch their own cinematic universe to rival the popular Marvel Cinematic Universe. As Warner Bros. owned DC Comics, this should not have been a problem, and unlike Marvel, where studios had access to certain parts of the franchise, DC had access to all their characters. They hired director Zack Snyder to direct Man of Steel and soon set him in charge of their new universe.

Visionary filmmakers have created entire worlds, dystopias, and even the ending of our civilization. This absolute freedom has proved them right to be the designers of fantasies that were only possible in our imaginations. Nobody has the right answer, and that's the beauty of it.

Shorts and tank tops are swapped for hoodies and sweatpants, lemonade for hot apple cider, and the drive-ins for cozy movie nights. Fall brings in movies and shows that perfectly capture the season, whether that be something spooky, romantic, or just capturing the autumn vibe.

While the franchise dominated the late 70s and 80s thanks to characters like Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Leatherface, the genre never quite recaptured those heights ever again. While the 1990s saw the genre slightly rebound with Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, the 2000s were the decade in which it seemed like the slasher was a dying trend.

It only makes sense that the most sensorial artistic medium, cinema, would embrace the genre as a way to reflect contemporary fears and concerns, dating back to 1916’s aptly titled The End of the World (which itself illuminated worries over the then-recent Halley’s Comet). With global pandemics and the cataclysmic effects of climate change upsetting our daily lives, the end of the world is on our collective minds more than ever, so it only makes sense to catalog the best apocalyptic films.

From books to video games, it was all stricken from the canon and declared "Legends". What remained were the six live-action movies and the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, basically anything George Lucas was directly involved in the creation of. Despite this new canon, there was one character so beloved by fans who was able to make the leap from Legends to canon: Grand Admiral Thrawn.

People are always terrified of those kinds of events, so horror is a given. Only thrillers also work, surreal dramas make a damn good point, and even science fiction films are constantly framed under the devised story arc of what would happen if aliens arrive.

Of all the 65 books and 209 short stories he has written so far, he has only ever followed up on the conclusions of The Dark Tower and The Shining.

Affleck first gained recognition for his role in Good Will Hunting, written by his brother and childhood friend Matt Damon, but he would later establish an independent career that was impressive in its own right. Affleck has ventured into directing with the films I’m Not There and Light of My Life, and even won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his outstanding performance in Kenneth Lonergan’s 2016 film Manchester by the Sea. Due to his range and dramatic heft, Affleck has become a favorite of directors like Christopher Nolan and Gus Van Sant.

Often, the best is a confluence of events, plot, and character depth with a talented director behind the lens bringing each frame to life. Ensembles are popular, bringing on an onslaught of suspects, but it can also be the journey of one person to save their soul. Agatha Christie said, "Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul are revealed by your actions".

Perhaps you are in search for a perfect steamy movie for a romantic date night or simply a chill and relaxing film. Well, Netflix offers a vast selection of sensual options. From period romance like Lady Chatterley’s Lover to modern favorites like Fifty Shades of Grey, these films include really passionate scenes.

During the mid-20th century, approximately six million European Jews were killed by Germany and its collaborators. The Germans under Hitler’s Nazi party made a sport of hunting Jews, going so far as devising ingenious methods to maximize the torture extended to the captives. This potent tsunami of hate crept into all facets of life, sparing no Jew, irrespective of age and gender.

Over the course of his prolific 40-year career, Fincher has directed dozens of music videos for some of the biggest stars in the world; helmed 11 critically and commercially-acclaimed films (save for Alien 3, of course); and had a hand in developing three outstanding television shows. He has made a name for himself as a meticulous and demanding director, but one that delivers the goods. His next film, The Killer, looks to be another winning entry in an already stunning filmography.

Between the official mission, a group of experts, and an elaborate plan, each heist film is full of thrills, one-liners, and a dramatic moment where everything almost falls apart. The official mission typically involves stealing a coveted item, robbing a bank, or stopping an event that is predicted to happen. Each team is made up of an ammunitions expert, a scientist or mathematician, a wild card, and the leader who is the one who assembles the team to carry out the elaborate plan. Once the team is assembled, the plan is detailed down to the most minute detail, typically with someone asking about security or scoffing at the estimated time to bypass something.

As a setting, Las Vegas has it all — the glitz and glamour of the casinos and shows, the over-the-top luxury of a Las Vegas hotel, the rugged scenery of the mountains and deserts, upscale neighborhood mansions juxtaposed with down-on-their-luck decrepit apartments, the seedy underbelly of the gaming industry, and even the thriving cities just beyond the Strip. From the lights of the hotels and casinos to the views of soaring mountains and desolate deserts, the city never fails to provide a dramatic backdrop to any storyline.
