  • 15 Sequels That Took Effing Forever to Get Made

    %Slideshow-374221%Waiting a decade — or more — to make a sequel isn’t exactly a widely practiced business model in Hollywood. Lately, the longest you have to wait is two or three years before the next installment in whatever potential or established franchise hits theaters.

    In the last few of years, however, waiting a decade (or more) for a follow-up isn’t such a crazy proposition. (Um, hello, “Mad Max: Fury Road.”)

    To celebrate the release of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2“, one of Hollywood’s longest-gestating sequels, we present the widest gaps between two movies of the same franchise, along with whether or not they were worth the wait. (Spoiler alert: A lot of them are not.)

  • 25 Greatest Horror Movie Heroines Ever, Ranked

    %Slideshow-373474%Why is the horror audience mostly female? One reason has to be the genre’s long tradition of heroines, scream queens, or final girls.

    They’re the last ones left standing in the movie’s final act, taking on the killer or monster while — armed with little more than pluck and righteous anger (and the occasional sharp object). Then again, who doesn’t enjoy watching a horror movie lead character overcome their fear and act like a badass? While not all horror movie heroines face-off with the Big Bad by the end of the film, they do suffer through all the jump-scares with us. It’s a miracle we they come out alive.

    Here are 25 of the best horror movie heroines who conquered demons — both internal and external — before conquering the multiplex.

  • Unforgettable Disney Channel TV Shows, Ranked From Least to Most Ridiculous

    %Slideshow-374202%
    Is it a rule that Disney Channel TV shows have to have the most absurd premises possible? When their development team gets together they’re probably just like, “Let’s make these scenarios as outrageous as we can, people.”

    But that’s the beauty of their programming. The shows might be about fantastic things like wizards, psychics, and double-life leading pop stars, but it works. These series have brought us so much goofy joy that we wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Here, we look back at 8 memorable TV shows from the Disney Channel and rank them from totally believable to totally ridiculous.

  • ‘Hannah Montana’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

    %Slideshow-374120% Hard to believe, but the most famous member of the Cyrus family used to be papa Billy Ray. That all changed 10 years ago, on March 24, 2006, with the debut of Disney’s “Hannah Montana,” which unleashed daughter Miley upon the world.

    Like her TV character on the 2006-11 series, Miley Cyrus was both a regular teenager and a flamboyant pop star chafing against her own squeaky-clean image. We’ve all seen how that tension has played out for Cyrus over the past decade, but what of the rest of Team Hannah? Here’s what’s become of the show’s cast in the years since Cyrus took a wrecking ball to her Disney persona.

    Willow Rosenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Even when she went full-on evil, you couldn’t be mad at her because she’s such a gentle little butterfly on the inside (hey, she’d just gone through something super traumatic, so LAY OFF). She’s just the best.

  • All of Shonda Rhimes’s Shondaland Shows, Ranked

    %Slideshow-374113% “How To Get Away With Murder” may be over for the season, but The Catch,” joins ABC’s all-Shondaland “TGIT” line-up.

    Like other Shondaland shows, “Catch” — which stars Mireille Enos (“The Killing”) as a detective hunting down the one man who ever conned her, fiancé Peter Krause (“Parenthood”) — looks like it’ll be a drama full of jaw-dropping plot twists and led by a strong heroine. So far, that formula has worked well for Rhimes, with a couple of notable exceptions.

    Here’s how we’d rank the Shondaland slate so far.

  • The 7 Funniest Movies You’ve (Probably) Never Seen

    %Slideshow-373881%Long before he was cranking out reliable Oscar-season fare like “Silver Linings Playbook,” David O. Russell was a struggling indie writer-director with one squirmy comedy about incest (“Spanking the Monkey“) under his belt.

    Then, 20 years ago this week, on March 22, 1996, he released the comedy “Flirting With Disaster,” starring Ben Stiller, and… crickets. (It would be another three years before “Three Kings” scored Russell his first mainstream hit.)

    It’s too bad, since “Flirting” is a very funny film, marked by the breakneck pacing that Russell’s fans have come to appreciate. But let’s face it, not all comedies find their audience right away, and not all worthy comedies even become cult favorites later. Here are seven outrageously funny films worthy of rediscovery now.
