Time Flies: It's a Year Since True Blood Met Its True Death... What Are the Folks of Bon Temps Doing Now?
Over a year ago, one of the sexiest supernatural shows on TV, True Blood, met its untimely true death.

The Pied Piper, The Seven Foals, and 3 Other Fairytales That Deserve Their Own Feature Film
With the recent success of fairytale classics remade into live-action such as Into the Woods, Maleficent, and this year's Cinderella, it's no doubt that the following years will be huge on the fairytale live-actions.
