The French filmmakerRebecca Zlotowskihas been making quite a lot of noise on the festival circuit over the last few years. Her debut,Belle Epine, was a brash, beautiful tale of teenage angst centered on a young woman (SpectrestandoutLea Seydoux) who becomes interested in motorcycles and the men who drive them.

In its first season on CBS,Supergirl"introduced" Superman by way of silhouette, peripheral vision, oblique reference, humble brag, and text message, but never as a flesh-and-blood hero.

Throughout theMarvel Cinematic Universe, personal growth is a recurring theme that is intriguing as viewers follow these characters through the films. This growth extends beyond personality to include qualities distinctive to an individual. The feelings, actions and behaviors of each character dictate a part of what and why they do what they do. However, these qualities are dynamic as characters change and grow over time. Some went from villains to heroes, selfish characters grew selfless, and some learned valuable lessons and evolved over time....

Three cheers for the fact thatThe Returnedis back, and that SundanceTV picked it up so we can watch it with English subtitles. The French series about the residents of a small Alpine town (both dead and undead) is a gorgeous, haunting character study that explores issues of grief, loneliness, and of course, the supernatural. It’s also occasionally terrifying. In our exclusive clip from the upcoming episode, “Virgil,” the mysterious young man (played byErnst Umhauer) coaches Camille (YaraPilartz) on powers she doesn’t yet know she possesses....

I feel like there are two types of people in this world: Those who loveThunderCatsand everyone else. While I can’t be sure why certain people love Lion-O and the Sword of Omens, I’m willing to bet it has to do with your age. Like some of you, I saw the cartoon as a kid and was immediately hooked. Not only did the main character start off as a kid (like me), he was magically transformed into a superhero and could kick everyone’s ass with a magic sword that could call his friends to him when he was in trouble....
