When we think about hobbits, “fierce” isn’t usually the first word that comes to mind. “Short,” “hungry” and “dangerous if you get between them and their mushrooms” are descriptions we readily associate with the halflings, but there is a great deal more to these curious little creatures than their short stature and insatiable appetites. This is why Gandalf keeps showing up in the Shire and dragging them off on adventures. They may be small, but they have a strength of spirit that even the fiercest of dragons would be hard-pressed to match....

The Matrix was a cinematic revolution in both the science fiction and action genres. The films presented a new, more thought-provoking element to action-oriented sci-fi. Additionally, they helped pioneer “bullet time,” which has been more widely implemented in films and even video games following their release. This effect presented chaotic action scenes in an exciting new way, with its emphasis on more dynamic camera trickery which includes slow-motion, freeze-frames, and 360 camera panning....

A forgotten tradition in children’s television seems to be the animated series based on a live-action movie. Sure, we still get superhero adventures and their ilk, but let’s put it this way: If the Harry Potter movies were released 30 years ago it would have been considered bizarre if it didn’t have an accompanying cartoon series, perhaps with a new cute side character no one liked. Maybe the Sorting Hat could have grown arms and legs, be renamed Sorto and speak in a high-pitched voice that only our main characters could understand....

Sci-fi has always been known for its incredible creature effects, but not all of them hit the mark. From the best of the best to the worst of the worst, let’s take a look at what the genre can offer us. Luckily we have some real masters of special effects on this list, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be without its absolute atrocities. Either way, we’re sure it’ll be an entertaining read....

Development hell is an interesting and abstract concept in the film industry. It refers to the place that movies go to die. A script will be written, generate some buzz around Hollywood, and get picked up by a producer or a studio. But what happens after that is anybody’s guess. Anything can fall apart in the development stage. The production company can go under, the producers can let the option expire, the attached actors can drop out....

Though there are a number of Star Trek movie sequels that are adored by fans and non-fans alike, there’s a pervading belief that the even-numbered sequels are the best. (Particularly when discussing the original six movies featuring the original cast of the TV show.) Of those movies, the two that you’ll most likely hear debated as the best of the best will be 1982’s Wrath of Khan and 1986’s The Voyage Home....

There is no arguing the fact that John Hughes was a staple of the 1980s and onwards. He dominated the film industry with his unique directorial skills and brilliant writing. His movies offered sensitivity, humor, and wit, and because of this we couldn’t help but fall in love with almost every flick he put out into the world. Yet while the majority of his works will forever be cherished and praised by movie buffs and casual film viewers alike, there are some elements to his movies that simply would not be acceptable by today’s more inclusive and progressive standards....

One thing that was immediately clear to me when I got my 49-inch monitor was that it was going to be a joy when video editing. But I didn’t appreciate at the time just what a massive difference it was going to make. I should say that I’m no pro video editor. I occasionally create short clips for inclusion in reviews, but most of my videos are basic ones designed to relive memories of fun experiences....

Both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat took arcades by storm in the 1990s, and the Hollywood machine was quick to take notice (as they’re inclined to do). 1994 and ‘95 saw the release of a Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat movie, in an attempt to capitalize on the impact both had on pop culture. Neither film has aged particularly well, driven largely by camp and action movie hyperbole, but there’s something charming that keeps us coming back for more!...

The romantic comedy is making a slow but steady comeback these days. Yet, back in the 1990s, it felt like a new romantic comedy—or “romcom,” for short—was coming out every week. There was a significant decrease in their numbers during the 2000s and onward, though. The romcom’s heyday was no doubt the 1990s. We as a culture wear rose-tinted glasses about that decade, but, truth be told, those ten years had some enjoyable romantic comedies....
