Here at Movieweb, we’re all about movies, and as the medium continues to push boundaries, whether technological or even in overcoming taboos, it’s important to remember that the concept of a feature film has a relatively short history in the grand scheme of things.

Special effects have come a long way in filmmaking. Of course, the digital revolution with out-of-this-world computer-generated effects is what first comes to mind, but the evolution of practical effects is something to marvel at as well. In the early days of cinema, filmmakers would use whatever they could find to create believable effects on screen, and this was especially the case when it came to replicating snow. As long as it was white and looked fluffy and real enough, fake snow ranged from salt, sugar, flour, soap, cornflakes painted white, marble dust, and even a carcinogenic substance known as asbestos....

Over the show’s four-season run on The CW, Arrow has introduced a multitude of characters who have roots in the DC Comics.

The story of humans versus androids seems almost cliché at this point, a fear that only continues to grow as technological capabilities increase and the concept of robots in the home slowly becomes less novel and foreign to everyday consumers. It is predicted that the market for virtual assistants will grow from $2.2 billion in 2018 to $11.3 billion in 2024. Technology has become a crutch for humanity. Human reliance on technology has heavily increased during the past decade....

1974’s Black Christmas gave a new meaning to Christmas. Released a year after the groundbreaking The Exorcist and shortly after The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Black Christmas had quite a challenge ahead of itself to standout from the lot, and it succeeded in its own right. Audiences were pleasantly horrified by the reinvention of the most popular holiday in the world, notably because it was done tastefully through its carefully-handled plot and exquisite performances; Olivia Hussey and Margot Kidder gave two contrasting yet mesmerizing portrayals as sorority sisters, Jess and Barb; the unseen Billy became a haunting voice that lingered with audiences longer after the film’s conclusion; Black Christmas earned its place in the classic slasher hall of fame....
