It’s pretty much a cliché now. Whenever an English-language remake comes out, everybody knows someone who’s seen the original foreign film it was based on, and they always tell you that the original was unequivocally better. That cliché exists for a reason: because nine times out of ten, it’s true. But every so often, once in a blue moon, an English-language remake comes out with enough of that special X factor to make it just as good—or even better—than the original it was based on....

Motovlog is a portmanteau of “motorcycle,” “video,” and “blog.” Motovlogging is when you ride around on your motorcycle, film your excursions, and narrate the experience as if it were a blog. Activities can include road trips, unique destinations, interesting events, etc. Motovlogging is a growing niche on YouTube, and you’ve probably seen a few motovlogging videos pop up in search results if you’ve looked for motorcycle-related videos. They often feature weird road situations, tips on tourist destinations, or even reviews for vehicles and gear....

Many anime series have spawnd video game spin-offs. For example, the Naruto and Dragon Ball series have several fighting games to their name. Yu-Gi-Oh! has come out with many video games, and Pokemon released as anime and video game simultaneously. But video games turning into anime series? That’s a lot rarer. A few notable ones have made it onto the scene, of course. Digimon is a 2000s classic anime based on virtual pets....

Emerging out of the conservativism of buttoned-down post-WWII society came a new generation of kids who expressed their free-loving, drug-taking angst through art, fashion, and music.

Here are some of the best crime movies that involve perfect executions of heists, break-ins, robberies, and more....

When it comes to cinema, the director is involved in every creative decision that affects the film—the tone, the cast, the production, the editing, among others. So, what happens when a director dips? A lot of times, the film is simply canned altogether. For high-profile projects, another director might be brought on to finish the project.

This legendary plot twist really shook nerves when M. Night Shyamalan masterfully delivered it in The Sixth Sense.

Here are our picks for the best movies where a character was really dead the entire time....

Creator Matt Groening has been in charge of the family-centric animated sitcom since 1989, which currently spans over 700 episodes across 32 seasons (and still going).

That’s why most of our picks come from earlier seasons....

Throughout his career, audiences have been enthralled by his on-screen sagas. Usually, Tarantino’s true lens is the one he imbues in his leading characters, giving viewers a tactile handle on the more-often-than-not radically absurd situations they find themselves in. From his first film (where a group of professional thieves rob a bank) to his most recent movie (where he changed the events of history by writing a love letter to classic 60s Hollywood), Tarantino has always found angles that are different from many other filmmakers....

Each character plays their own role and brings something different to an anime series. When numerous anime series have similar characters that play similar roles, an archetype forms. Archetypes exist in all kinds of media, but anime character archetypes can be quite unique compared to those you find in movies or TV shows.
