You don’t have to try very hard to be afraid of the internet these days. From the constant stream of online harassment to history-altering foreign interference in democratic elections, it’s obvious that the internet, for all its benefits, is often used as a tool of manipulation and destruction. Hell, there’s a reason the FBI director warned people to cover their webcams. With 2014’sUnfriended, Blumhouse and directorLevan Gabriadzechanneled internet phobia into a silly but entertaining horror-thriller that tackled digital bullying with a paranormal slant, told entirely from the vantage point of a laptop screen....

Folks, we’re talkingCongo. Holy shit, it’sCongoday.Congois now 25 years old.Congocan legally rent a car in most states and drive to your home whenever it damn well pleases....

Because the Internet loves outrage, a story circulated thatGal Gadotonly got paid $300,000 forWonder WomanwhileHenry Cavillgot a whopping $14 million to doMan of Steel. If you even pause to consider that info, it’s ridiculous. When he signed on to doMan of Steel, Cavill was not an A-list actor, and his biggest claim to fame was the Showtime seriesThe Tudors. Does it really make sense to pay $14 million to a rising star when the movie he’s leading is being sold off the Superman brand rather than his fame?...

Before he was breaking bones as Jack Reacher,Alan Ritchsonwas slicing throats as Gloss, the District 1 tribute inThe Hunger Games: Catching Fire. While his time in Panem was short-lived, his death scene left an impression—though, according to Ritchson, it didn’t look quite as realistic as it should have, and honestly, the story is absolutely hilarious. During a recent interview with Wired, Ritchson reflected on hisCatching Firerole, jokingly reminding fans that “I was the guy that slit that little old lady’s throat”....

An adaptation ofYukinobu Tatsu’s popular manga, the anime series featureddynamic and colorful action sequencesthat only a studio like Science SARU could pull off. The series also included a highly energetic and fun opening sequence that left fans buzzing on social media and turned the theme song, “Otonoke,” by Creepy Nuts, into an anthem.

Before the era of theMarvel Cinematic Universe, beforePeter Jacksonblessed cinemas with The Lord of the Rings, and beforeHarry Potterever waved his magic wand,one of the biggest movie franchises in all of Hollywood wasBeverly Hills Cop, starring comedy legendEddie Murphy. The first movie was a massive critical and commercial success, with Murphy’s role as the fast-talking and rambunctious Detroit cop Axel Foley cementing him as an A-lister. The film also spawned two sequels, the equally entertainingBeverly Hills Cop IIand the malignedBeverly Hills Cop III(which even this new movie admits, was not Axel’s finest hour)....

He’s also an actor with sky-high screen presence and a knack for making roles feel whole, no matter the amount of screen time he gets.

While it may have been a long wait to see Domingo at #1 on the call sheet, he couldn’t have found a better role to do it with than Bayard Rustin....
