Recently I was wondering what the most popular and most productive (in terms of box office revenue) film genres are. A simple Google search led me to a statistic on The Numbers, which aggregated all theatrical releases o
It's a bit hard to keep track of all the delays and postponements to films and series that have happened over the last couple of months because of the coronavirus pandemic. While in the beginning, it was better to announ

With so many postponements with regard to not only film productions, but also releases, it's a bit tricky to keep accurate track of what exactly is coming out in the near future. So, I've decided to jump forward a little
I was browsing Netflix at the weekend, looking for new material to add to my watchlist. I tried to cover as wide a geographical scope as possible - in the end, only two of the six entries come from the same country. What

Summertime is here, and regardless of the global pandemic that goes on in the world, we wouldn't have expected much in terms of films and series. Summer is usually the time for light, often corny films that usually are r
