In 1990, Bruce Willis returned to the big screen as John McClane in Die Hard 2. Following the success of Die Hard was not easy, but once again the movie saw McClane in a Christmas Eve tussle with terrorists, and the movie proved to be just another step up the ladder for Willis as an action hero. While the movie was a hit, the movie’s director Renny Harlin recently revealed that the making of the movie was not all full of good will, as he clashed with Willis over the direction of McClane’s character....

Series premieres are important for determining a TV show’s future prospects. The numbers can give you a rough idea of how the project resonates with an audience and how much you can expect it to continue to do so in the future. Is this series worth financing, or can we put the money somewhere else? Although the numbers are crucial, it’s not often they’re freely displayed for public knowledge. Given how a lot of big TV shows are created by Netflix now, which has a strong policy of not revealing their viewership (as outlined by The Atlantic), it’s challenging to create a full truthful list of the most watched premieres....

Although docuseries seem to be the new push in the way true stories are told, it’s hard to beat a great documentary.

The situational comedy — or, more commonly, sitcom — has been locked in its place in television history since the dawn of the form of entertainment. From Seinfeld’s breaking of the mold that dared to tell a story about the humdrum of daily life to Arrested Development’s outlandish, uncommon family-centered misbehavior, modern TV sitcoms have fictionalized both high and low aspects of reality. As society continues to shape itself and new television series pull from the influence of the world around it, sitcoms have evolved to pivot around relatable events in commonplace settings....

Acting is far more challenging than it seems. It’s not just about memorizing scripts and lines, but about bringing a character to life in the most credible way possible. Moreover, it should not be forgotten that acting is an actor’s everyday job and, just like every other job, offers depend on their skills and what they have been able to demonstrate in both previous productions and during auditions. Once an actor rises to the spotlight, each movie he or she performs in can either continue to catapult or sink his or her career....

Pre-1939, sporting a short, stumpy toothbrush mustache, and a grease-clad comb-over with a neat side parting was fine, perhaps even a fashion statement reminiscent of the all-singing, all-dancing Hollywood star, Charlie Chaplin, or the melancholic writer Ernest Hemingway. Sadly, that once classic and stoic look died a slow and painful death, not through the administration of cyanide like its wearer, but by its association with one of the cruelest, evilest, and most despicable men who have ever lived....
