5 Great 1980s Action Movies Nobody Talks About

We left out some of the biggest action movies from the era – like the James Bond films from the 80s, *Escape from New York*, *The Road Warrior*, *Raiders of the Lost Ark*, *48 Hrs.*, *Conan the Barbarian*, *Tron*, *Beverly Hills Cop*, *The Terminator*, *Commando*, *Aliens*, *Die Hard*, *Lethal Weapon*, *Predator*, and all the *Rambo* films. These movies already have huge, dedicated followings, so they didn’t need to be included.

Classic 2002 Game Somehow Has Been Re-Released 9 Times and Is Now on Xbox Series X|S and PS5

Originally a browser game, *Alien Hominid* quickly became popular and helped launch its developer while also contributing to the growth of Newgrounds as a hub for creative game ideas. Its enduring success on various consoles proves how well-designed the gameplay is – it’s a simple, reliable shooter that remains exceptional. Beyond that, this beloved indie game paved the way for the digital gaming landscape we know today.

38 Years Later, Murder, She Wrote’s Most Overlooked Episode Still Pulls Off TV’s Greatest Crossover

The third season of *Murder, She Wrote* included a particularly clever episode called “The Days Dwindle Down.” While crossovers between TV shows and movies are common today—think of how the Marvel Cinematic Universe connects its films and series—they usually happen within the same shared universe. *Murder, She Wrote* did something truly unique: this episode functioned as both a sequel and a remake of a 1949 film. With a new *Murder, She Wrote* movie starring Jamie Lee Curtis as Jessica Fletcher on the way, it’s a great time to revisit this exceptionally original episode.

Luca Guadagnino’s ‘After the Hunt’ Has a Small ‘Sgt. Rock’ DCU Easter Egg

You wouldn’t typically expect to see DC Comics mentioned in a film centered around the Yale philosophy department. However, a poster for the WWII hero Sgt. Rock – specifically the cover of *Sgt. Rock vs. Army of the Dead* – appears briefly when Julia Roberts’ character walks past a comic book store. This creates a timeline problem because that particular comic wasn’t published until 2022, yet the movie, *After the Hunt*, is set in 2019. Beyond the timeline issue, the reference is a poignant reminder of how close fans came to seeing a *Sgt. Rock* movie directed by Luca Guadagnino. This explains why the respected Italian director included the comic and details about the project that ultimately didn’t happen.

The Trick ’r Treat Scene That Quietly Rewrote Werewolf Lore

It’s hard to pick a best story from this collection, as they all deliver unique scares for horror fans. However, the third story is particularly noteworthy for its fresh take on a familiar legend. Werewolves have been a staple of horror for ages, appearing in countless films with a consistent theme: someone is bitten, transforms painfully, and becomes cursed by the moon. But in *Trick ‘r Treat*, director Dougherty flips the werewolf myth on its head, presenting the transformation not as a curse, but as a symbol of female power fueled by desire instead of lunar cycles.

How Millie Bobby Brown Is Honoring Father-in-Law Jon Bon Jovi

Oh my gosh, you guys, it’s just *everything*! Millie Bobby Brown, my absolute queen, she just gave Jon Bon Jovi – *the* Jon Bon Jovi, seriously! – a new nickname! It’s only been three weeks since her wedding with Jake Bongiovi, and she’s already cementing their family bond. I’m so obsessed with them all!

Fan-Favorite Grey’s Anatomy Star Briefly Leaving Show

On the October 16th episode of *Grey’s Anatomy*, Caterina Scorsone’s character announced she was taking a break after the devastating hospital explosion that concluded season 21. This explosion resulted in the death of Dr. Monica Beltran, played by Natalie Morales, in the season 22 premiere.

Should Any Absolute DC Characters Replace the Main Universe Versions? (I Have An Answer Fans Won’t Like)

Fans are really enjoying the fresh takes on classic heroes like Wonder Woman and Batman. Superman is back to being a champion for those in need, and the new version of Martian Manhunter is a huge hit. While these updates are great, most of us wouldn’t want them to completely replace the original characters. However, there’s one hero where a permanent switch would be a fantastic improvement.

36 Years Later, Dragon Ball Z Still Remains the Peak of the Franchise

I remember a time when Goku had settled down, enjoying a quiet life with his wife, Chi-Chi, and their young son, Gohan, who was about four years old. It didn’t last long, though. Soon, other Saiyans – warriors from space – showed up looking for him. That’s when Goku discovered the truth about where he came from and why he was sent to Earth. But, unsurprisingly, he decided to defend his adopted home. As things progressed, we met a lot more characters, both good and bad, and everyone kept getting stronger after each fight.
