Back when franchises were still a new concept, there was the Planet of the Apes film series. The story essentially holds up a mirror to humanity, depicting its failings and conflicts through a rather wild premise. The films have cemented their place in pop culture, making the franchise a must-see for anyone who loves good storytelling. That said, here's a ranking of every Planet of The Apes film by their Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes scores' average.

American Dad!’s resident alien Roger Smith is the king of personas. Seamlessly switching disguises in a matter of seconds, he has the residents of Langley Falls believing whatever he wants them to. To keep track of his costumed shenanigans, the lovable alien keeps a ledger of all the people he knows and the aliases they know him as. While Roger’s never-ending carousel of outfits is impressive, Francine often gives him a run for his money when it comes to successfully pulling off a disguise.

After being delayed for over a year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, HBO Max has finally reunited Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer for the highly anticipated Friends: The Reunion special. Directed by Late Late Show producer Ben Winston, the unscripted gathering is the first time in 17 years that the Friends stars have been brought together since the show ended its ten-season run in 2004. Friends: The Reunion begins with each cast member walking onto the recreated Friends soundstage on the Warner Bros lot. It’s filled with some emotional greetings and a good dose of reminiscing. The opening credits are (obviously) set to the show’s theme song and leads into a live interview hosted by late night television host James Corden.

Comic book fans have known for years that Loki is gender fluid. And now that Marvel has a series starring Tom Hiddleston as the God of Mischief, the studio has found the perfect opportunity to embrace that fact. A lot of folks may think this just a poor attempt at being “woke”, but it’s actually a direct reference to both comic book lore and mythological history. Now, Tom Hiddleston and head writer Michael Waldron explained why including this element of Loki in the series matters.

Zack Snyder's Justice League has been one of the most-talked-about cinematic events in recent history. The phenomenal four-hour feature essentially removes all of Joss Whedon's footage and brings Synder's original vision to life in its spectacular entirety. Overall, Zack Snyder's Justice League has been extremely well-received, but when it comes to Superman and Lois' reunion, it does have one notable difference from the theatrical cut.

Netflix is developing a gender-swapped reboot of 1999’s romantic comedy . The remake will star TikTok sensation-turned-actress Addison Rae, Tanner Buchanan, and original star Rachael Leigh Cook in a brand new role.

The BBC has announced plans to release a documentary about pop princess Britney Spears and her conservatorship. The move comes after the success of the FX/Hulu documentary which aired on 5 February 2021. Released as an edition of series, the film chronicled Spears’s rise to fame, her treatment by the paparazzi, her highly publicised 2007 breakdown, and her court-mandated conservatorship (overseen by her father Jamie Spears) that she has been living under since 2008.

Supergirl’s mentor, Cat Grant, is set to make a comeback in the show’s sixth and final season. But her return will not quite be in the way fans might expect. A younger version of the media mogul will appear in flashbacks to the early days of her career. Back then, she was simply known as journalist CJ Grant. When viewers are introduced to CJ, she is eager to step out of Lois Lane’s shadow and out from under her boss Perry White’s thumb. So she does what any good journalist would do and chases down a story that leads her to Kara’s hometown of Midvale.

The release of has been the most talked-about event in the world of superhero movies since the social media campaign to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut was created. The four-part Snyder showcase is set to premiere internationally on Thursday 18 March on HBO Max.

Laduma Ngxokolo is still ecstatic about landing the design gig of a lifetime as a costume designer on . The film is a sequel to the 1988 cult classic, which also starred Eddie Murphy. Ngxokolo’s surreal journey began in 2019, when the Academy Award-winning costume designer Ruth E Carter contacted him about having his designs prominently featured in the movie. In February, the South African fashion designer was finally able to share the exciting news with his fans, saying “the rest was history.

Marvel Studios has released the eagerly awaited final trailer for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ahead of the series premiere this Friday 19 March. And the brand-new clip of the upcoming Disney+ series is filled with loads of action-packed footage. After being handed the mantle of Captain America at the end of , the series follows Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) as they team up in a worldwide adventure that puts their abilities to the test against a new threat.

Fans of Sebastian Stan rejoice! IFC Films has dropped the first trailer for , an alluring romantic drama starring the Marvel superhero opposite Denise Gough of fame. The trailer’s release comes just as the hype around Sebastian Stan continues to build in anticipation of his upcoming Marvel’s Disney+ miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier . But unlike the brooding Bucky Barnes, Stan’s character in is laid-back and fun-loving.

“When bad things happen and you can stop them, but you don’t, they happen because of you.” Captain America is seen as the epitome of a hero. He is one of the few worthy enough to lift Mjolnir, he has access to Iron Man’s armoury and he’s been entrusted with Wakanda’s technology by Black Panther. Coupled with all the charm, world-saving, and moral grandstanding, it’s easy to believe that Captain America didn’t make a single false move throughout the eleven year Avengers saga. But upon closer examination Captain America has made some of the worst decisions in the entire MCU (post suspended animation). And these poor choices come to the forefront in Avengers: Endgame.

Harry Styles has never opted to play it safe when it comes to fashion. Instead, the singer makes a fashion statement, and his appearance at the 2021 Grammy Awards was of course no different. Styles, who was nominated for various awards, had three wardrobe changes throughout the night and accessorized each one with a matching faux fur boa. The 27-year-old opened the event (which was a virtual/in-person hybrid) wearing a black leather Gucci suit along with a green boa. The fuzzy accessory was discarded during his performance of his hit single Watermelon Sugar. But that wasn’t the last of the bold, head-turning statement piece.

With the entertainment industry in disarray due to the global pandemic, a lot of actors have had to find more creative ways of doing what they love. Although lots of famous folks use social media to keep their fans entertained, indie film star Sam Myerson has taken it to the next level. The California native, who’s tirelessly worked to make a name for himself in Hollywood, is using his social media platforms to promote his own comedy sketches. His skits are a brilliant mix of current and classic humour, reminiscent of Jerry Seinfeld’s observational comedy.

With all the fanfare surrounding the release of next-gen gaming units, PC gaming has sort of slipped into the shadows. But due to the hefty price tags attached to those consoles, gaming on your computer is a pretty good alternative – especially if you have the right gear. At only 63 grams, Logitech’s G Pro X Superlight is essentially a feather-light version of the brand’s Pro Wireless mouse. But there are several other differences worth noting.

Chadwick Boseman has received a posthumous Academy Award nomination for his work in , an adaptation of the popular August Wilson play. The actor has previously won a Golden Globe award for the same role. The George C Wolfe-directed film tells the story of Ma Rainey, an influential blues singer in the 1920s. Boseman plays Levee Green, a talented trumpet player who hopes to break away from Rainey in an attempt to secure his own record deal.

Marvel created something new with The Avengers in 2012. The movie brought together different heroes from their own stories into one big team-up movie. When that was done the characters parted ways and went back to their own sequels. This type of storytelling has always been done in the comics. But doing it across 23 films with so many strong characters and undertones was brand new. While each movie may not be telling the exact same story, they all take place in the same universe and are connected by characters, events, and settings. So if you’re new to the franchise you’d be forgiven for being a little confused as to how they all fit together, and in which order to watch them.

Social media platforms and pop culture forums have made it virtually impossible for anyone to have a differing opinion about a movie, television show, or fictional character. Openly express criticism of a popular movie and your timeline will be flooded with comments from strangers telling you why you’re wrong, or even stupid for not liking Movie X,Y or Z. The argument usually escalates quickly, with your personal taste being equated with sexism, racism, bigotry, or whatever other terrible insult they have at the ready. In reality, this is a false equivalency. A difference of opinion about something (in the grand scheme of things) as insignificant as a movie really shouldn’t be just cause for online harassment or bullying. So in the spirit of everyone being different but equally awesome, here’s a list of relatively unpopular opinions about some of the most famous movies in recent years that would probably get my movie card revoked.

Movies are one of humanity’s greatest creations ever. Thanks to movies, we can travel back in time or even to a galaxy far, far away. We can escape to places beyond our wildest dreams and lose ourselves in the fantasy. Movies are also a great way to learn. We can track the progress of humanity through the re-telling of stories about wars, gain insight into different countries and cultures and see just how much we have progressed as a society. Like photographs, movies are a snapshot in time. This used to be the essence of all movies. But lately Hollywood has tasked itself with leading us into a more “woke’ future by attempting to right the wrongs of all social evils. Having ditched the sexism, racial stereotyping and bigotry of yesteryear, Hollywood is attempting to erase the past in order to remedy the problem of unconscious bias. But they’re not doing it very well.
