Since the earliest explorations of world mythology, fantasy and adventure have been cornerstones of fiction, especially iconic Hollywood movies like The Lord of the Rings. Cinema has delivered decades of excellent fantasy movies, from mythological epics to adaptations of beloved novels. Offering one of the purest forms of escapism there is, the genre is at its best when combined with adventure, sending heroes on grand quests to defeat the forces of evil and find lost relics.

Fantasy movies have raked in billions of dollars at the box office, often soaking up hefty budgets and appealing to a large swath of moviegoers. Ranging from grim and scary dark fantasy stories to inspirational quests and high fantasy world-building, the genre is among the most entertaining there is. When blended with adventure, it has left audiences with some powerful stories that are must-see chapters of cinema.

I have a soft spot in my cold dark heart for a well-done romantic comedy. When Harry Met Sally, 10 Things I Hate About You, and 500 Days of Summer all manage to be interesting while presenting a fun love story. Well-made ones are few and far between, mind you, but they scratch a certain itch. So to see Scream‘s Melissa Barrera and Casual‘s Tommy Dewey combine forces for one in the horror space, and you’ve got my interest. Then add in a Monster that looks like Ron Perlman from 90’s TV’s Beauty and the Beast and it feels like Your Monster was made just for me.

I was lucky enough to talk to the cast and director about all things Your Monster. Melissa Barrera and I got into what it’s like to maintain a believable romance when your scene partner looks like a monster...

An Eloise spinoff may break Bridgerton due to her importance as a main character and potential impact on the main show's storylines. Although an Eloise spinoff is unlikely, other characters in the ton, like Violet and Edmund, could benefit from their own shows. While Eloise is a pivotal force on screen, her character development may be limited to her actual season in Bridgerton, not a spinoff.

Unfortunately, the Bridgerton setup for an Eloise spinoff would break the series' entire format. Bridgerton season 3 part 2 ends on an optimistic note for Eloise Bridgerton. A popular character in her own right, Eloise looks set to begin her adventures apart from the rest of the core Bridgerton characters. It's easy to assume they'll happen offscreen, but it's possible they'll play out in a future spinoff.

If it were to happen, it would be the show's second spinoff after Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, which...

Since the very first season of Vikings: Valhalla, we have seen the kind of brute and dangerous man Sweyn Forkbeard was. He didn’t think twice before taking extreme measures, and he believed that a ruler should be brave enough to make hard calls and bear the consequences of his actions head-on. One could imagine, looking at King Canute, that he had inherited some of these traits from his father, though he was still a bit less extreme and aggressive than his father. Earl Godwin had realized quite early in his tenure that he needed to be in the good books of certain players like Forkbeard and King Canute. He knew that if these people believed him to be a loyal servant of the court, then he would go a long way. Godwin was able to win the trust of Forkbeard when he killed Prince Edmund. Forkbeard, very happy with Godwin’s judiciousness,...

Emma of Normandy is a descendant of Vikings' Rollo. Emma became queen of England, Denmark, and Norway through her marriages. Emma of Normandy passed away in 1052.

Vikings: Valhalla introduced Emma of Normandy, queen of England, whos related to Vikings Rollo, but the show made changes to her story. As the sequel series to Vikings, Vikings: Valhalla is set over 100 years after the events of the main series, and as such, it follows different characters in a completely different context. With the conflict between pagans and Christians as the backdrop, Vikings: Valhalla followed Leif Erikson (Sam Corlett), Freydis (Frida Gustavsson), Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter), King Canute (Bradley Freegard), and Emma of Normandy.

Emmas story in Vikings: Valhalla began with the death of her husband, King Aethelred, and her stepson, Edmund, becoming king. After the fall of London Bridge, King Canute crowned himself the first Viking King of England and married Emma.

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos says that Greta Gerwig's unique vision will make Narnia films bigger and bolder than imagined. Gerwig's experience with fantasy and nostalgia in Barbie proves she's a perfect fit for Narnia. Gerwig's ability to portray depth in young adult characters from her past work promises strong Narnia adaptations.

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos teases the vision of Greta Gerwig’s Narnia movies. Gerwig is an acclaimed screenwriter and director, best known for her work on 2023’s hit film Barbie. Gerwig is announced to be directing two Netflix films within the Chronicles of Narnia series.

Speaking with Time, Sarandos teases the scope of Geriwg’s Narnia films. The Netflix exec called Gerwig an “incredible visionary,” and went on to say that the films will be “bigger and bolder” than audiences could ever imagine. He said that, similar to the original C.S. Lewis novels, the work is “rooted in faith.

Father Christmas represents the end of winter and the joyousness of the season in contrast to the cold and misery brought by the White Witch in Narnia. Father Christmas gives the Pevensie children weapons to fight against the White Witch, highlighting the historical theme of young men taking up arms in war while women served as healers. The role of the siblings in Narnia mirrors the gender roles during World War II, with Peter being called to fight while the sisters play supportive roles but can also defend themselves.

One of the most fascinating characters in The Chronicles of Narnia series is Father Christmas, who gives the Pevensie siblings weapons. The Chronicles of Narnia is a classic fantasy book series written by C.S. Lewis and the most famous adaptation of his work is Disney's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Despite the film grossing $745 million,...

The good news: If Victor's will is genuine, Vivian is Out of Victor's home and business just as quickly as she swooped in.

The bad news: The will contains a surprise that makes no sense.

According to spoilers for Days of Our Lives during the week of 9-25-23, Victor's will names Alex as his son and gives him half his estate!

Yes, Alex. The same womanizing, trying-to-grow-up Alex, supposedly Justin's eldest son, ironically borne out of an affair with Anjelica Deveraux while Justin was married to Adrienne.

This reveal is leaving fans scratching their heads, and it hasn't even aired yet.

It feels like a rewrite of history. Supposedly, Justin had an affair with Anjelica, resulting in Alex, then went on to have another three children with Adrienne.

Only in Salem can such a thing happen and make the slightest sense.

Who remembers The Chronicles of Narnia? While maybe not as well known as other fantasy series like The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, the books by C.S. Lewis maintain a large following even decades after they were published. The early to mid-2000s were the golden era for series like this to make the jump to the silver screen. Alongside Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, Narnia saw three of its seven books adapted to film between 2005 and 2010. You'll notice that we said three of the seven, so what happened to the rest?

Disney released the first two films in the series, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. The third entry, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, was handled by 20th Century Fox. However, after its 2010 release, the series ground to a halt. A fourth entry was planned, but years of complex contract...

A horse is a horse, of course, of course. And riding them can be a challenge, as Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang recalled on a recent episode of his Las Culturistas podcast.

Yang’s experience with death by horse came while riding horseback on the set of Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens in Iceland.

“Actually, not fun, not fun to be on a horse,” Yang said. “[I’ve] ridden a horse for camera. Guess what? This crew, and I love this crew, but this crew decided to have a drone, and of course the horse don’t know what the f— that is, and then I almost died.”

“I didn’t tell you this?” Yang then asked his cohost, Matt Rogers, and their guest star Patrick Rogers. “I almost died in Iceland!”

A drone flew too close to the horse Yang was riding, spooking it.

“Even hundreds of yards away, these horses can clock,...

Season 3 will see Kate and Anthony Bridgerton living happily together, experiencing a more stable period of their lives. There is a possibility that Kate and Anthony Bridgerton could have a child in season 3, leading to personal changes and relationship crises.

Kate and Anthony Bridgerton are the star couple of Bridgerton season 2 and while their story may not be the focus of season 3, there should still be much ahead for the newlyweds. Bridgerton follows the lives of the large eponymous family as they navigate London in the Regency Era to find love. Eldest of the Bridgertons is Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), the ninth Viscount of Bridgerton after his father’s untimely passing. Anthony is charming and dutiful but the grief he sees his mother Violet (Ruth Gemmell) experience at the loss of...
