'Atlantis: The Lost Empire:' the Beginning of Modern Disney
Disney movies can generally be broken into eras, a time of popularity of Disney films being high as well as a lot of them coming out fairly close together. Some examples are Classic, Renaissance, and Modern. The easiest way to distinguish eras is by looking at their princesses. Of course, this can be done in other ways too, but the princesses are a little more straightforward. In the Classic era, we have Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. All of whom were basically just waiting around for Prince Charming. The Renaissance includes: Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, and Mulan. Their defining characteristic was a curiosity about the world outside of their own lives. Mulan is the only exception to this, since instead of being curious, she was simply different from what was expected of a girl in the time she lived in. The Modern era is considered to have started with Tiana. If Kida had been made a Disney princess, it would have started with her.

'Pretty in Pink': The Ending
Pretty in Pink is one of the biggest teen staples of the 80s. It's a film by John Hughes, who at the time seemed to have a great knack for capturing the way teenagers were. Overall, it isn’t a bad movie. The characters are interesting, the plot is engaging, the ending is just horrible. Now we’ll take a closer look at why that ending was so bad, and a couple of alternative endings that would have been better.

'Halloween' (2018)
The wait is over Halloween fans. From talks of a new movie back in 2015 to Dimension Films losing production rights, Blumhouse, the studio that brought you the critically acclaimed films Insidious, GetOut, and the successful Conjuring films, has obtained the rights to the franchise. Even better, the new film will simply be titled Halloween. No more cliche titles. Goodbye Rob Zombie films that tried too hard to do the franchise justice and failed horribly with a bad sequel.

'Bumblebee' Preview (Or, Why There Could Finally Be a Good Transformers Movie)
Like many I'm a child of the 1980s meaning I used to love Transformers, I remember paying a few pound for the original VW Bumblebee that is still packed away safely in my attic. I would watch the G1 cartoon religiously over and over again and when Transformers The Movie came out in 1986 it was all that mattered in life to see it in the cinema.

'Avengers 4'
All hope isn't lost as the Earth's Mightiest Heroes prepare for their rematch against the all-powerful and badass Titan survivor, Thanos (Josh Brolin). In Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos's goal was to gather all six infinity stones and wipe out half the world, restoring balance in the universe. Although Thanos succeeded in gathering all six stones, he made a major sacrifice with the murder of his favorite daughter Gamora, also known as the fiercest woman in the galaxy. Having Josh Brolin in the role of Thanos is one of the best casting made in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, other than Tom Hiddleston as Loki.

Why 'Joker' Might Just Be the Best DC Comics Movie Ever Made
Over the course of just a few days, a slew of new details, photos, and footage from director Todd Phillips’ Joker movie have surfaced, and so far, it all looks very promising. The Joaquin Phoenix-led thriller is the third of four DC Comics related films being released next year, sporting an October 4th, 2019 release date. Filming began on September 10th of this year, with the first official photo of Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck (the man who would become The Joker) debuting on Phillips’ Instagram page six days later. Five days after that, Phillips posted a short video of Phoenix in classic clown makeup, indicating that this is the look Arthur will adopt once he becomes the titular Clown Prince of Crime. The very next day, set footage of Phoenix in full Joker attire was captured by paparazzi in an Upper Manhattan subway station. All these first looks and paparazzi shots are certainly making a good first impression. These sneak peaks, coupled with other previously announced details, could very well be teasing fans with what might be one of the best DC Comics films in a long time, maybe ever.
