The Hidden Gems of Netflix
It seems crazy that in its short few years since finding its place online in the wake of Blockbusters becoming a dinosaur and eventually closing and companies like Lovefilm losing ground in its attempt at revolutionizing the entertainment-at-your-fingertips industry, Netflix has become a household name – and more – a meme. However – it doesn’t take a genius or an archaeologist to dig very far to find some absolute gold on the site.

Magic Marvel Moments from 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
A slight warning, spoilers may occur here - look away now if you don't want to see :) Anybody who watched Guardians of the Galaxy will know that it was THE breakout film in Marvel's Phase Two. It was also arguably Marvel's biggest risk since the release of Iron Man at the birth of the MCU. The characters were not that well known and only dedicated Marvel fans would have known about them. But it is certainly safe to say that they are in the public eye now!

Suicide Squad: Is It Time Harley Quinn Gets Her Own Film?
Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Jessica Jones... NAH, give us The Clown Princess, Puddin, Harley Quinn, any day of the week! In an ever expanding world of superheroes, and with the Marvel slate full until 2020, it is really time that DC upped their game. The recent release of the brand new Suicide Squad trailer (set to Bohemian Rhapsody) focuses on 'the bad guys', but highlights one very special lady indeed. Isn't it time The Joker's other half got her own moment in the limelight?

The Alternative Hateful Eight
With more blood than you can swing a Hattori Hanzo sword at, Quentin Tarantino is back! After three hours and seven minutes of Southern accents, buffalo hides and raining bullets, you are guaranteed to leave Tarantino's eight film more than a little shell shocked. Lorded as one of the world's best directors and known for using the same actors as much as Ryan Murphy uses his American Horror Story alumni, Tarantino loves an ensemble. The Hateful Eight is sure to deliver on that level, with stellar stars such as Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russell at the forefront. But this being the Tarantinoverse, what if someone else has been pipped to the role? Here are some ideas for alternative actors from his vast repertoire who could have featured in his latest shoot 'em up.

The 6 Inspirational Lessons 'The Polar Express' Can Teach Us All
Twelve years ago #ThePolarExpress chugged into cinemas in style. The Polar Express is a live action and animated film with the main star being Tom Hanks. The film follows the journey of a disillusioned little boy, jump on board a magical train in his pyjamas, and heads supposedly to "The North Pole" to meet Santa Claus. The film certainly takes its viewers on a bumpy and icy ride, from almost drowning in a lake to tumbling down never-ending shoots which land directly in Santa's workshop. However, there's one thing that stands in the little boy's way; "the end of the magic", as he no longer believes in Santa Claus and realises all of his faith has gone. It isn't long until he meets the ghost of the Polar Express who taunts him by telling him that everyone he knows will take him for a fool or duped. Towards the end of the film, the conductor asks this boy to BELIEVE and not let anyone judge him for believing in Santa Claus or anything else mythical or something from a story. The boy remembers this and follows this instinct to believe for the rest of the film.

10 Reasons Why ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ Fails Fans of the Original Movie
With the 4th of July just passing by us in recent days, I thought it would be valid to look back at last year's Independence Day Resurgence and realize all the reasons why it failed to measure up to the beloved Sci-fi classic. Now when I went to watch Independence Day: Resurgence in the theaters, I had great hope. Finally, after so many years we would have the old crew and new blood fighting for our freedom, not against tyranny, oppression or persecution but annihilation. Unfortunately, the result was less than appreciable. Here are 10 reasons to hate the new Resurgence movie: While I know it had big shoes to fill, here's all the reasons why it failed to measure up:

The Chronicles Of Narnia' Will Be Rebooted In 'The Silver Chair'
It was between the years 2005 and 2010 that fantasy was brought to the big screen in a whole new way in 'The Chronicles Of Narnia' based on the books written by C.S Lewis. Fans were intrigued into the snowy world when it was transformed from words into action which highlighted many aspects across the Fantasy genre. Some people believe the franchise is a rip off from Tolkein's 'Lord of the Rings' franchise. Whereas some believe it's something new and original. People flocked into their local cinemas to go through three epic adventures across different climates and now we're about to have a fourth magical ride as Narnia is going to return, but not in a good way...
