LotR: But They Were All of Them Deceived – The Sauron Breakdown
With fire in his eye, this corporeal can-opener had the bling to keep all of Middle Earth in line. Who is Sauron, the Lord of the Rings?
He’s the biggest bad of J.R.R. Tolkien’s infamous Lord of the Rings trilogy, but Sauron the Deceiver has gone by many names.

'The Batman' is 3 Hours?! It's Time to Bring Back the Intermission
With epic superhero and fantasy films becoming the norm, another 3-hour movie isn’t a surprise. But can we please bring back intermission?

How 'Hawkeye' Hit the Bullseye on Kate Bishop's Queer Christmas Story
‘Hawkeye’ paid tribute to many popular holiday movie tropes. But the best Christmas story was Kate Bishop’s queer coming home for Christmas.
The first episode of the hit show Hawkeye introduced us to the MCU’s version of Kate Bishop.
