We posted this amazing trailer when Kubo and the Two Strings was first announced. We told everyone it was made by the geek geniuses over at Studio Laika (America’s stop motion Ghibli as far as I am concerned) and that it was going to be the kind of fantasy movie that was made specifically for […]
Many people hold the film The Princess Bride in highest regard, and they should. It is a damn-near perfect fantasy filled to the brim with unforgettable characters, amazing dialogue, and whimsical moments.

That’s like trying to pick between ice cream cake and lasagna. Can’t we just have both? Well, this list is ten fictional movie universes that […]
The funny thing about high fantasy and medieval novels is, when we read them, we still think we wish we lived in that world based on their tropes (and swords). Truth is, we don’t. If you stop to take a moment to think about it, your life span would probably be freakishly short in such […]
