Despite a potentially compelling lead, Hellboy is a surprisingly boring superhero epic that drags between sequences of fantasy action spectacle. Based on the comics by Mike Mignola, the new Hellboy movie additionally serves as a reboot of the big screen franchise that previously consisted of Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army. However, when plans fell through for Hellboy 3, the studio decided to take the series in a new direction by rebooting it and casting a new actor in the role of Hellboy, with David Harbour taking the reins from Ron Perlman....

The magical world of Harry Potter is as complex as it is fascinating. And that goes doubly so for family ties. Thankfully, we know a fair bit about the genealogy in this world. And yet there are still surprises to be found – or to be reminded of. The pureblooded wizarding families all seem to be connected, but that makes total sense when you think about it. After all, there are only so many families you can marry into if you want to maintain that status....

However, making friends didn’t always come easily to Hermione. At the beginning of her Hogwarts career, Hermione is a lone wolf. Nobody makes an effort to be friends with her, but on the flip side, Hermione doesn’t put herself out there either. It’s not until a near-death experience with a troll that unites her with Harry and Ron....

Hawkeye’s back in Avengers: Endgame, although he’s going to look at little different having taken up his Ronin identity. The founding Avenger and ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. agent struck a plea bargain with the United States Government after the events of Captain America: Civil War, and so was placed under house arrest for the next two years. Embracing his retirement (again), this meant Hawkeye wasn’t available to help his old teammates out when Thanos’ forces attacked Earth in Avengers: Infinity War....

One would assume case vendors would stop making oversized iPhone cases now that we have a pretty clear picture of the iPhone 4-like design of the iPhone 4S. Not Hard Candy Cases, a mobile accessories company which decided to ramp up manufacturing for a range of cases seemingly designed for a mystery iOS device with a 4....

Albus Dumbledore will go down in history as one of the most iconic literary figures of all time. He certainly ranks up there with Gandalf, who he is often compared and contrasted against. But Dumbledore was the iconic headmaster of Hogwarts whose goal was to defeat Voldemort for good and try to raise Harry to face off against him. Dumbledore has many faults and strengths, regardless of how you feel about his morality, he’s a fascinatingly complex character to be sure....

Severus Snape is one of the most controversial and divisive characters in the Harry Potter series. While many fans loved his redemption arc and found him compelling and redeemable, others feel like he was simply a villain through and through, end of story. But whether you like Snape or not, it’s pretty difficult to deny that Snape was more than capable of some pretty annoying feats and behaviors at times. Sure, he also did some truly awful things, but there are also some less intense actions he engaged in that were really frustrating....

Avengers: Infinity War lingered for quite some time on an image of Steve Roger’s phone number. It turns out there was a very good reason; this was intended to be another easter egg. Marvel has a well-deserved reputation for putting as many easter eggs as possible into their movies. In the case of Guardians of the Galaxy, although the film was released back in 2014, there’s still one last easter egg out there that fans haven’t found, and director James Gunn seems to quite enjoy teasing fans about that very fact....
