Unfortunately, some really great movies simply don’t get seen. It may be surprising that some of the biggest franchises on the planet get low box office numbers, but not impossible....

The blockbuster landscape is inundated with superhero movies at the moment, but almost every major comic book movie’s source material comes from two major publishers: Marvel or DC. This isn’t really a surprise, and it’s not even a dig—over decades both Marvel and DC have created some of the most iconic characters in history. But these two aren’t theonlyoriginators of comic book material that translates well to the big screen, so we thought we’d take a look at some comic book movies with somewhat different origins....

Bill Simmonsmay have dubbedThe Challenge"America’s fifth sport," but the contestants on the reality competition series require decidedly less discipline than the athletes of professional sports leagues. And the psych evaluations are, to put it kindly, slightly more lax. Add a claustrophobic living situation and unlimited alcohol, and even the most mild-mannered contestants can be pushed to their emotional limits. Psychological warfare has always been a hallmark ofThe Challenge, buta select few competitors possess toxicity that rivals Chernobyl–human disaster zones whose nuclear-level meltdowns poison the air around them and everyone in their path....

There are many movies that cinephiles would consider essential, likeCitizen Kaneor2001: A Space Odyssey. Yet, “essential” could include movies that have left the most impact.

If you’re intoGodzilla, as a series, then the announcement of any new film is obviously going to be worth celebrating. But if you’re really into the series, and have seen every film at least once (you know, all 40-ish of them), then the announcement of a new film is even more exciting. This is because it kicks off speculation about which monsters might appear, be they new ones entirely (as was seen with the villains inGodzilla x Kong: The New Empire), or fresh takes on already-established monsters from the series’ lengthy past (like inGodzilla: King of the Monsters)....

The Studiois a love letter toHollywoodand movie making.Apple TV+’s breakout hit follows Matt Remick (Seth Rogen) as he gets promoted to head of Continental Studios. Rogen is no stranger to absurd plots and is known to cast industry friends to tell these stories. Season 1 spares no (hefty) expense,inviting real directors, actors, and executives to make celebrity cameos. How can anyone topMartin Scorsese,Ice Cube, orGreta Lee?

One would think thatBryan Singer, who, in addition to getting fired off the upcomingBohemian Rhapsodybecause he couldn’t show up to work like a professional, has also weathered numerous allegations of sexual assault, should be persona non grata to studios. Even if you’re willing to overlook the claims of young men who have spoken out against Singer, you still have a guy who’s bad for your bottom line because he’s proven to be notoriously unreliable....
