Top Ten : The Prequel Effect (Infographic)
Movie Prequels are the perfect solution for expanding the story of a movie that ended perfectly. After all, many people wouldn't ever change an ending to a great movie, even if we want to see more of it. Prequels allows us to do that, by delving deeper into that story before it happens.
But are all prequels a good idea? Sometimes, when executed poorly, prequels are just another way for money-grubbing production companies to eeke another dollar from a beloved franchise, either killing it outright, or downgrading the value of the series.

THE GOOD
Jason’s Pick
"In A World" – Effective most when in full bittersweet romantic mode, Lake Bell’s writing and directing debut is a cute flick amidst a tad fluffy. Bell herself comes off much like Kristen Wiig, funny and charming in an odd and unique way. The comedy is unfortunately light, but does come ...

'Man Of Steel' Director Zack Snyder: Christ Parallel Has Always Been There
Zack Snyder, director of the superhero blockbuster Man of Steel, says that he didn't add the Christ allusions to the film - they were there since the character's first appearance 75 years ago.
Snyder tells CNN, "The Christ-like parallels, I didn't make that stuff up. We weren't like, 'Hey, let's add this!' That stuff is there, in the mythology. That is the tried-and-true Superman metaphor. So rather than be snarky and say that doesn't exist, we thought it would be fun to allow that mythology to be woven through."
In case you don't follow Superman's mythology, the Christ connection starts ...

Q&A: "Hatchet III" Star Zach Galligan Celebrates His Career With Us
For those of us who grew up in the 80’s, the name Zach Galligan is a recognizable one. Having made a big splash in films like "Gremlins" and "Waxwork," Galligan was the quintessential leading man – good looking, charismatic and truly talented. Along the way he also made memorable turns in shows like "Star Trek: Voyager" and "Law & Order Criminal Intent" (going toe-to-toe with Vincent D’Onofrio no less!), but ultimately turned teacher helming acting classes affiliated with Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. His most recent role sees the actor once again taking on the horror genre, this time...
