No one expects Shakespeare from a Transformers movie. We all innately understand that a sequel to an already mediocre film will probably be bad; it will certainly not be a candidate for cinematic immortality. (At least not the good kind.) As the lights go down and the credits start to roll, we set our expectations accordingly. As bad as a Transformers sequel might be (and very often is), those kinds of projects are never as disappointing as a bad sequel to a great movie. There really might not be a more infuriating experience in the world of cinema than a truly terrible sequel to a truly epic ...

Determining the best film of a certain historical period is an exercise in futility; an attempt to find an objective answer to an entirely subjective topic. But let’s do it anyway! I find there are only two viable ways to approach this sort of thing: Either you pick your own personal favorites — which generates a 100 percent accurate list of an era’s best films according to one individual — or you look to a source where you can compare many different people’s ratings to at least get a good idea of a broad consensus. That’s why I like Letterboxd, where you can sort through their database to see...

If you graduated from high school in the last 10 years, there’s a 50/50 chance thatKane Brown or Morgan Wallen had the most played song on country radio that year. If your high school graduation came in the 1980s, Willie Nelson — or Clint Black — might have been your guy. For ’90s kids, it was a whole lot of Tim McGraw. This isn’t as much a list of great country graduation songs (find a really bad example of one of those in 2015) as it is a list of songs that shaped culture in the year you finished school. Three artists dominated three years each — can you find them? Our research goes back to ...

And another retailer bites the dust. Things haven’t looked good for brick-and-mortar retailers over the last several years. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be changing either. We’ve seen the downfalls of some greats like Sears (remember when you could look at clothes while your dad was mesmerized by the tool section?), Bed Bath & Beyond (the place you probably did your wedding registry), and Francesca’s. And that’s just naming a few. There are so many others. The latest retailer to file bankruptcy and join that list is the clothing store Express. This place used to be the go-to for work at...

Stunts have been an integral part of filmmaking since the very beginning, providing the type of blood-pumping adrenaline rush that comes with seeing something unbelievable pulled off to perfection. There’s nothing we love more than staring openmouthed at a particularly incredible stunt, wondering how in the world they possibly did that without anyone getting seriously injured. With the prevalence of computer effects making it easier for filmmakers to throw some stunts into their movies without anyone actually having to do the stunts at all, the genuine article is even more precious. Stunts hav...

A full list of American Idolstars who’ve died includes eight Top 12 finalists, one third place finisher and a runner-up. Season 5 and Season 7 seem particularly cursed. Mandisa’s (Season 5, ninth place) recent death follows tragedies that befell Katharine McPhee (her nanny was killed in a car accident last year) and Kellie Pickler (husband Kyle Jacobs died by suicide in February of 2023). Before that, there was a woman who’d auditioned and then died on judge Paula Abdul’s doorstep.

The old saying goes “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” That is especially true in the world of movies. There isn’t a film out there that everyone universally loves or everyone universally hates. There are people who think The Godfather is overrated and people who think Gigli is a misunderstood classic. Cinematic beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder. For proof of that, check out the 30 films below. They are all personal favorites of mine that, according to the wider general consensus, were flops, bombs, and stinkers. Not to me! If you ask me, all of these titles deserve a seco...

In this list of country music’s nastiest divorces, you’ll find cheating, abuse, drugs, alcohol … and we’re just talking about No. 3! We ranked 13 famous marital breakups from the least to most shocking, and in doing so, took a trip down a salacious memory lane. Reba McEntire‘s divorce from Narvel Blackstock is first because — like everything else in her life — the country singer handled her business like a pro. Last on this list of messy breakups is a case that both parties still can’t talk about today. It involved another country artist, a rock band, several lawsuits and a reality TV show. An...

People generally like good movies. We want movies to be good, we want to have a good time watching them, and we want to feel as if the experience, the ticket price, and the time spent was worthwhile when we go to see one. Movies should be good, right? Except, sometimes, they’re better when they’re not. People enjoy watching good movies, but some of us love watching truly terrible movies even more. There’s nothing quite like the sense of anticipation you get when you sit down to see something you know is going to be bad, and there’s nothing better than doing it with a large, rowdy group of peop...
