Happy Death Day 2U adds a genre twist to the series’ formula, delivering a sequel that’s funnier, sillier, and more entertaining than the first movie. A sequel to Happy Death Day, Happy Death Day 2U marks the second installment in the Blumhouse-produced slasher comedy franchise. Having already released the horror-thrillers Split and Get Out to widespread critical acclaim and big box office returns earlier in the year, Blumhouse enjoyed another unexpected success with 2017’s Happy Death Day - a movie often described as Groundhog Day meets Scream....

Rowling knew had to live until the very end, as he had a big role in a very powerful scene in the final book: Hagrid.

As awards season rounds the bend, with the Golden Globes premiering this Sunday and the Oscars looming, it’s time for a heartfelt biopic to shine. The genre usually snags at least one seat at the Academy Award for Best Picture table, from 2014’s The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything to 2013’s Captain Phillips and Dallas Buyers Club. Though Jackie, a biographical account of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s life following her husband’s assassination, has won critical acclaim and several award nominations for star Natalie Portman, the film only saw a limited release....

The writers and directors tasked with adapting the Harry Potter books had a hard task. The books are crammed with fun details and exciting scenes that just couldn’t make it into a film adaptation. Even the slimmed-down version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets clocks in at 161 minutes. That’s more than two and a half hours – and that’s not even touching the extended edition! As necessary as the cuts may have been, audiences still missed some great scenes....

Dudley Dursley is certainly a side character in both the books and in the films, but he does get a little more attention in the books than in the movies.

There are also several interesting pieces of backstory that have been revealed about Dudley from J....

In each installment of the Harry Potter series, Hermione Granger is the smartest of the trio. She has the best academic memory, highest grades, and always expanding her knowledge. However, it is Hermione’s logic and by-the-book mentality that allows Harry to surpass her. Harry is more likely to trust his gut instead of a textbook, and while he is not always right, it enables him to have a leg up in certain areas....

As much as we love the three main heroes from the Harry Potter series, even the biggest fans of the wizarding world have to admit that the golden trio were not perfect. Sometimes they were wrong. Sometimes they hurt other people. And sometimes, they were kind of annoying. That isn’t a bad thing. One thing that we truly loved about the books is the fact that even the positive and heroic characters had their fair share of negative traits....
