During the 1990s the show In Living Color rivaled Saturday Night Live as far as talent and the level of hilarious that it was able to reach. Not only was the show loaded with talent, it literally served as the launching pad for of the top stars of today, including J-Lo, Rosie Perez, Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, David Allen Greer, Tommy Davidson and the entire Wayans clan. When thinking of the countless skits that were performed on this show, it is hard to think of just one, but without question, Jim Carrey produced some unforgettable characters on this show that

Stephen King is trying to better understand Trump voters by inventing a few. In a piece for The Guardian published over the weekend, King wrote six fictional characters who voted for Trump. They include Indiana construction worker “Gary from Gary is 41, married with two kids, currently unemployed” and David Allen, a “a roadie-for-hire in Nashville, almost always employed.” He stressed that none of his pro-trump characters were “stupid, venal or evil,” but imagined that all had been given truth serum that would make them explain honestly why they supported Trump. King’s said his interest in Trump started, in part,...

Yellowstone National Park, the U.S.'s first, is home to some of the most spectacular sights the country has to offer. It attracts four million visitors a year from all over the world to its hot springs, wildlife and scenic views. But Yellowstone isn't Disney. And while occasionally animals can be the ones that suffer because of people's actions - as in the case of a newborn baby bison that was euthanized earlier this month after two tourists placed it in the back of their SUV to "keep it warm" - it's usually people who are learning hard, and occasionally fatal,...

“She can’t die! Don’t let her die!” screams Frank Delfino, running alongside a gurney carrying a bleeding-out Annalise Keating, during this week’s “Shooting Night” flash-forward on How to Get Away With Murder. Turns out, though, that Frank’s just playing hysterical for the benefit of the facility’s security cameras. By the time he gets to his car, he looks as nonchalant as if he’s in the Keating kitchen busting Bonnie for her Great Doucheface Dalliance of 2015.

Special Mention: Death Proof
Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino
USA, 2007
Genre: Slasher
The obvious reference points of Death Proof are such movies as Vanishing Point, Roadgames, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, and even Spielberg’s Duel – but Death Proof is influenced by more than just vehicular horror. Tarantino’s homage to the road-fury genre is really two movies in one, offering two versions of the same story about two separate groups of beautiful women who are stalked by a homicidal maniac who uses his car (his weapon of choice) to terrorize and eventually kill his victims. Death Proof can easily be viewed as two slasher films, with the second half acting as a sequel, offering new, beautiful victims for the murderous Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) to terrorize. It’s a grim stalk-and-slash picture with a blaring commentary of female empowerment. Replace the typical sharp edged blade with a car, and...
