From the beginning, it was clear that barely anyone was safe in The Vampire Diaries. While some deaths resulted in vampire transitions or temporarily existing on The Other Side, others remained permanent. Notable supporting characters were not the only ones whose lives were lost throughout the show. Many of the main characters repeatedly died by the time The Vampire Diaries concluded. But, while some main characters had more heartbreaking or meaningful deaths, others were used as plot devices....

Today MovieWeb had the privilege of attending the Warner Home Video Sneak Peak. Essentially, this is an event in which Warner Bros. announces their upcoming titles for 2006. Amidst talk of Ultra-Resolution Releases and HD announcements, the biggest announcement concerned not Blu-ray, but the man in blue who wears a red cape and just happens to have an “S” slapped across his chest.

While attending The Nines press day, we found out that Ryan Reynolds was still in the running to play JLA’s The Flash, but he was coy with most of the reporters he talked to, cautious not to spill too much about the production or his involvement in it....
Donald Glover is planning on making his entrance to the MCU. The Community star, rapper, and creator of Atlanta is attached to produce and star in his own MCU film in the Sony Spider-Man universe. Glover is making a movie surrounding the obscure Spider-Man villain, Hypno-Hustler. Along with producing the film, Donald Glover will also take on the mantle of this lesser-known supervillain and become the Hypno-Hustler himself. The role is ripe for Glover to play, though the antagonist only appeared in a few issues....
Telling the story of a serial killer in film or television can be an incredibly daunting task. Of course, the performance needs to be treated delicately, especially in cases where the murderer being portrayed is a real-life figure, as their victims’ families could very well still be alive and be forced to see their loved ones’ trauma reduced to entertainment fodder. Familial considerations aside, the subject matter of a serial killer character study is inherently dark....
New Jersey is home to some of the most creative people. Abbott and Costello, Frank Sinatra, Jack Nicholson, James Rolfe. New Jersey was the place where Thomas Edison introduced the world to the light bulb. The northeastern state is the mother of invention. For the comedian, filmmaker, and podcast host Kevin Smith, it’s just Jersey. Growing up in the small clamming town of Highlands leaves much to be desired. Smith saw how a job was different from your work through his postal worker father’s late night shifts....
Studio Ghibli is known and beloved across the globe for its myriad of heartwarming and passion-filled animated films. While they absolutely expand into more fantastical and imaginative territory, these movies remind us of what it means to be human in a world where nothing is as it seems. Fans have long debated the greatest anime movies and whether the highest-rated contender comes from this cherished production company or another source. Arguably, Kiki’s Delivery Service rises to the very top....
After solely relying on the business model of shipping physical DVDs out to customers for over ten years, Netflix decided to step into a more digital way of doing things in January 2007 by offering to stream much of its content to customers. This option was so largely well received by subscribers of the platform that in just two years, the total number of Netflix streams overtook DVD shipments. By November 2010, the company definitively separated the physical DVD rentals and streaming-only portions of its business into two separate entities....

Wes Anderson’s peculiar wit, color palette, and aesthetic make Anderson’s style special and immediately recognizable. As Anderson said in his interview with Vanity Fair, “That’s the kind of movie that I like to make, where there is an invented reality and the audience is going to go someplace where hopefully they’ve never been before. The details, that’s what the world is made of.” The Grand Budapest Hotel is one of those expansive, vivid invented realities — this time a tragicomical quasi-Eastern Europe land named in honor of Polish vodka....
Even though Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale is decades old, it is even more relevant today than when it was written in 1985, at a time when women still had guaranteed federal rights before the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade. In bringing it to the screen with the help of an exceptional cast, Bruce Miller has definitely mirrored certain aspects of present society, and when season five of Handmaid’s Tale is released (likely in 2023), it will surely tackle some of these terrifying recent issues....
