Reboots, Why'd it Have to be Reboots?: 10 Actors Who Could Play the New Indiana Jones
Indiana Jones is a character that has been beloved by many people for decades, yet his story has not been added to since the majorly disappointing addition to the franchise that is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. However, a fifth film with Harrison Ford reprising his role as Indy has been confirmed, and it is the popular belief that the franchise will be rebooted after his farewell to the legendary archaeologist has been had. Ford of course leaves extremely big shoes to fill, but there are several A-list celebrities who could do the character justice, and here are a few of those suggestions.

Why Are Comedians Not Funny Anymore?
Back in the 1970s and 80s, comedians like George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, and so many others that I could spend days naming ruled the comedy stage. Standup comedy has been a highly lucrative industry for decades, yet is seems to have hit a wall in recent years.

The Complete Anthology of Every Movie That Has Made Me Cry
When it comes to emotionally taxing movies and tough alpha males, the two walks of life usually don't co-exist. However, there are just some films that can make any viewer get something caught in their eye, and I am not afraid to admit that there have been far more than one occasions in which I bawled like a toddler. I'll admit that my taste in movies is far different from that of a seasoned movie critic, but I would still like to share with the world the films that always catch me right in the feels.

A Year to Remember: The 10 Stars Who Shined Brightest in 2018
We have finally reached the last month of 2018, and the world can finally let out a collective sigh of relief and good riddance. Despite having a roller coaster of a year, there have been a lot of excellent projects to enjoy in Hollywood, and a lot of even more excellent actors who starred in said projects. I have compiled a list of who I think the best actors of 2018 are, and I think that all of these people deserve to be in talks for an Oscar nomination.

Why Do Characters Not Stay Dead on TV Shows Anymore?
Characters miraculously coming back to life has been a staple plotline of soap operas for years, yet in modern television it seems that this archetype is starting to be used more and more. Even shows as popular as Game of Thrones have had problems permanently writing out characters, and I just simply cannot understand why. I would like to examine what exactly causes television writers to bring back characters that they have already killed off, and I hope I can shed some light on what I feel is an issue that plagues our television screens everyday.

Are the Rules of Time Travelers Selfish?
If you have seen any classic time travel flick, you know that time travelers have to adhere a specific set of rules. Whenever someone goes back in time, they can't do as much as kill a housefly without changing the future that they know. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, but the problem with time travel is that there is no possible way to foresee what you will change. We've been taught that leaving any imprint on the past will completely destroy our future. However, is that truly accurate? Does changing the past in an attempt to better the future really create a world similar to that of Mad Max? I would like to make a close examination of why I think the rules of time travelers are actually just selfish, and I hope this changes the way you look at the next time travel movie you watch.

Back in Black: 10 Actors Who Could Play Penguin in 'The Batman'
DC Comics fans have been waiting with baited breath for any kind of news to come out Matt Reeves' upcoming project The Batman, yet it looks like most of its production is going to be kept under wraps. It seems like we see a different news story each week about Ben Affleck not being in the movie, or Reeves casting for a younger Batman, but the truth is we just don't know what is happening behind the scenes. What we do seem to know for a fact is that The Dark Knight's infamous foe The Penguin is going to be the main antagonist of the movie, and with such a quirky character being the villain, you need the right kind of actor to play him. I believe I have a few likely candidates, and I hope you agree!

The Hunt for the Hunter: 10 Actors Who Could Star in the Boba Fett Solo Movie
Ever since the resurgence of Star Wars, fans have been begging for a Boba Fett solo movie, and it seems that the time has finally come. Back in 2014 this movie was rumored to happen with director Josh Trank and Michael B. Jordan as Boba Fett, but after the disaster that was Fantastic Four, it came as no surprise that the whole project was scrapped. However, it seems that under the steady hands of Logan director James Mangold, the film will finally come to fruition. With no actors rumored to be attached to the project yet, that leaves a clean slate to start from, and I think I have a few select people who could play the part uniquely well.

King of the Green: 10 Actors Who Could Star in 'Swamp Thing'
DC Comics is launching an online streaming service in order to air their own exclusive content, and they have recently announced that a live-action Swamp Thing show will be a part of the line-up. Swamp Thing is one of the most popular characters in DC Comics lore, yet the role hasn't been executed correctly. I feel that I know a few actors who could not only be a good Swamp Thing, but a good Alec Holland as well, and I hope you agree with my list.

The Hero We Deserve: 10 Actresses Who Could Play Batwoman in the Arrowverse
Just a couple of days ago the star of Arrow himself, Stephen Amell, confirmed in an interview that Batwoman will be introduced in the next Arrowverse crossover, and fans couldn't be more excited. Batwoman is one of the most popular characters in comics and one of the most underrepresented characters in other media, meaning that her live-action debut is one of most exciting additions to the Arrowverse in recent memory. While she's likely to only be a one-time guest star, there are still a handful of big actresses who would want to don the cowl in such an anticipated arrival, and I think I have a few likely candidates for the role.
