Anthony Mackie Explains Why He Criticized Marvel Studios About Diversity
The movie industry has come a long way in its inclusion and portrayal of minorities since it began. Early silent films such as The Birth of a Nation portrayed African Americans as essentially uncivilized monsters only out to hurt the good white people. Even if you think we have a long way to go to be truly inclusive, one has to admit that the film industry has made serious advances.

Hollywood In the COVID Era
Since March, we’ve seen the COVID pandemic hit the U.S. in ways no one could have foreseen. Impacting our daily life and trickling down to every industry. Entertainment is our usual escape from the world, but that very foundation is uneasy as well. Hollywood is at a standstill and needs to look in the mirror to move forward.

'The Walking Dead' Season 10 Finale Release Date Will Be Announced at SDCC 2020
Since its release on Halloween of 2010, The Walking Dead has become a cultural phenomenon, changing the landscape of zombie entertainment in a way that we haven't seen since George Romero. Nothing has immersed us in a post-apocalyptic world full to the brim with zombies in the way that The Walking Dead has. There were sill popular zombie movies such as Danny Boyle's 2002 film 28 Days Later and its sequel, but on the whole, the idea of zombies had largely fallen out of public popularity. People will always love zombies, but the media surrounding it had largely become stale.

'Hamilton' Might Be Up for Oscar if Disney Pushes Hard Enough
The film industry is filled with prestigious film awards, but none carry a greater weight than the Academy Awards, AKA the Oscars. An Oscar can launch careers, bring films to public attention, and possibly put it them the pantheon of the greatest titles. The phrase "Academy Award Winner" in front of a film or performer instantly adds legitimacy. While any studio would love to collect an Oscar, arguably none push harder than Disney.

Joker 2019 (Todd Phillips) Film Review
"I just hope my death makes more cents than my life” Todd Phillips’ Joker takes darkness to another level. It can be summarised with the phrase ‘you can be kind to the world, but the world will not be kind back’. A deeply disturbing, bleak and gripping exploration of a broken individual with a complex antihero that leaves viewers seriously questioning their relationship with the ‘protagonist’. We watch Arthur Fleck’s miserable world (full of miserable people) fall apart through a painful series of events that seemingly cannot get any worse until the next comes along. His character develops throughout the film in a unique fashion, ending up even more insane than he was to begin with. Yet it is the consequence of this that provides him with his new identity that he is so pleased with, as he becomes a saint for those similarly outraged and negatively impacted by the system. Arthur subconsciously fuels further rebellion against “fascist” mayor Thomas Wayne following his actions on the Murray show, by which pure anomie is generated.
