Every Nightmare On Elm Street Movie And Series, Ranked

The anticipation for these two horror franchise characters meeting on screen was teased for years before Jason Vorhees and Freddy Krueger finally met one-on-one in the 2003 film. After the people of Springwood have taken to using sleep medication to keep Freddy out of their dreams, the killer is severely weakened. In a moment of brilliance, Freddy decides to resurrect Jason Vorhees from the dead in hopes that the fear that the masked maniac will create will somehow restore Freddy’s powers. It’s an insipid concept, even for low budget horror films. As a Friday the 13th film, Freddy vs. Jason is bottom of the barrel. It doesn’t fare much better as an installment for A Nightmare on Elm Street. Source link

Han Solo Proposes To Princess Leia In The Worst Way Possible

Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker and Prince Isolder agree to follow the Millennium Falcon. Using Luke’s Force navigation—because the book makes that a thing—they actually manage to get to Dathomir slightly before Han and Leia. The rest of the book involves the Nightsisters riding rancors, Luke discovering there are force users other than the Jedi and Sith, and Prince Isolder deciding to marry the Dathomiri witch who imprisoned him. Oh, and Zsinj is defeated. I can’t help but think Han Solo’s victory against his arch-enemy, Warlord Zsinj, would have had more of an impact if The Courtship of Princess Leia hadn’t treated Zsinj as just a “thing that exists now.” Again, the book isn’t terrible. It’s just really campy and kind of dumb. So…Star Wars. Source link

Star Trek: Discovery’s Best Fight Nearly A Catastrophe

In true Discovery fashion, Burnham tries to get to the bottom of Sarek’s hidden memory, but he literally fights her to protect the memory, with the two having a showdown using Suus Mahna, a Vulcan form of martial arts. The onscreen combat has great choreography and feels very visceral, and this is a miracle because the two actors never had a chance to rehearse together before filming the scene. Burnham actor Sonequa Martin-Green was comfortable winging it because she had extensive stage combat experience, but she and the crew were surprised to discover that Sarek actor James Frain had no such experience.

The Star Trek Original Character Named Thanks To A Map

Unfortunately, Gene hit a snag. Every surname Roddenberry came across was specific to a particular nation. Given that 20th-century Asia was, in Takei’s words, “turbulent with warfare, colonization, rebellion,” Roddenberry was hesitant to assign Sulu a name that would align him with one particular country over another. Enter Roddenberry’s map of Asia and his discovery of the Sulu Sea. The Star Trek creator reportedly found an area on the map labeled the Sulu Sea off of the coast of the Philippines and instantly knew he had his name. According to Takei, Roddenberry picked the Sulu Sea because “the waters of the sea touch all shores.” Source link

Fantasy Light Novel Gets Anime Adaptation Fans Can’t Wait For

By Nina Phillips | Published 20 seconds ago An anime about witches is nothing new. There have been plenty of variations on the young witch storyline over the years, such as Little Witch Academia, The Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina, Mary and the Witch’s Flower, and Burn the Witch. 2025 is looking to be no different, with a new witch anime coming out, called Once Upon a Witch’s Death.  Once Upon a Witch’s Death was originally a light novel written by Saka. Later, the story was adapted into a manga, illustrated by Chorefuji and adapted by Kenu Amearare. The full title of the novel is Once Upon a Witch’s Death: The Tale of the One Thousand Tears of Joy. Even from just the trailer, Once Upon a Witch’s Death looks like a promising anime. Though the web novel Once Upon a Witch’s D...

The Office Stars Then and Now: From Dunder Mifflin to Today

By Doug Norrie | Published 18 seconds ago The Office is one of the greatest comedies we’ve ever seen, running for nine seasons and producing some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. The Office cast was one of the best around. Check out how this group changed over the years and just how much time has past since those first The Office episodes. Steve Carell as Michael Scott Steve Carell played the character of Michael Scott to perfection, though there’s no denying his appearance changed quite a bit from the first season to the next. Steve Carell left The Office before the series was over but has gone on to have a celebrated career in Hollywood. He’s one of the best ever to do it.

Battlestar Galactica Retconned Its Best Relationship

The depth of the relationship between Adama and Starbuck is deepened when she kicks Colonel Tigh’s butt at space poker, resulting in the drunken executive officer knocking the table over before getting punched by Starbuck. Later, a protective Adama makes sure Tigh won’t file charges against Starbuck for striking a superior officer. We later get some context for their father/daughter relationship (which is how it’s described in the original miniseries script, by the way): Starbuck was engaged to Adama’s son Zak before the younger man died in a flying accident, leaving the Commander without one of his sons, though Starbuck tries to fill that emotional gap.

The Sadness is a Taiwanese movie which was written, directed, and even edited by Canadian filmmaker Rob Jabbaz. At this time, the movie is Jabbaz’s only feature film in his catalogue, though fans of The Sadness are surely awaiting his next project with nervous excitement. Before crafting this psychological deep dive into the post-COVID world, Jabbaz primarily worked on self-taught animations, helming such short films as Fiendish Funnies, Great Daena: A Fateful Encounter, and Clearwater.
