Its ensemble cast is almost as large, its range of recurring situations and gags as broad, and its emotional core as deep.Except forAvatar: The Last Airbender, no other Nicktoon traded comedy for drama and pathos as often, andHey Arnold!did so at a scale that was more readily applicable to real life. The inner-city neighborhood and its wild collection of residents put Arnold and his friends through all the highs and lows of the fourth grade age....

Often considered one of thebest TV adaptations of a video gameever made,Castlevaniatook the world by storm with its amazing visual style, an immersive and bloody storyline, soulful scores, and an equally scintillating finale.

The movie hails from the same creative team that made the originalM3GANa breakout blockbuster only a few years ago, but it’s shaping up to be more of aJoker: Folie à Deuxsituation than aConjuring 2....
