“Charming” is not often a word associated with horror films; it’s counterintuitive to what the genre usually stands for—you know, terror and tension, followed by release and a sense of ease, then repeat—but yet here we are with a romantic tale about a boy, a girl, a teleportation device, and the insect that comes between them. Welcome to the world of The Fly (1958), where the hosts are welcoming, the police polite, and the monster bug-eyed.
Released by Twentieth Century Fox in July, The Fly pulled in $7 million against its $300,000 budget, enticing audiences with a tale often told at the time—sold as another Atomic Age Monster Mash, The Fly instead uses a much smaller (and human) canvas to convey a message of obsession and the love that ultimately ends it. Having said that, you also get a man with a fly head and some neat-o transportation sequences,...

The easiest way to piss off your reality TV co-stars? Land yourself a spinoff that doesn't include any of them. And as Jax Taylor tells it, when he and girlfriend Brittany Cartwright were presented with the possibility of a series of their very own, following them to Brittany's family's Kentucky farm for a true fish-out-of-water situation, by the producers of Vanderpump Rules, he couldn't wait to stick it to some of the ladies in the cast who've given him grief in the past. "I was excited, but then the first thing I thought of was, 'Oh man, what is everyone else going to think?'" he told E!

Ready to "Get Low?" Liam Payne and Zedd dropped their new single Thursday. In May, Zedd told Beats 1 he was "super excited" about the partnership. "It's the definition of a summer song to me, personally." "The easiest way to describe it would be a Drake-ish influenced sound, but very open to do something that sounds unique and different, which I love. I think it's a really good balance between where he's going with his solo project and where I am going with my own music. It's right in between. Without Liam, I might have never finished the song. He really pulled it towards a direction that I would not have and I love where it is. I would say it's probably the most...

It’s the end of the world as we know it in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s season four finale! At least it will be, if Aida has her way.
This season of S.H.I.E.L.D. was split into three consecutive pods of episodes -- Ghost Rider, Life Model Decoys, and the Framework reality-based Agents of Hydra -- but now, the three storylines are coming together for one epic season closer, as Dr. Radcliffe’s former android assistant (played brilliantly by Mallory Jansen) has built herself a human body and is out for revenge!
As the team recovers from their time in the Framework’s alternate reality, the Lmd-turned-all-powerful Inhuman is hell bent on global destruction after getting an overdose of human emotion in her new, organic body, and the agents will need every trick in the book if they hope to stop the super-powered being.

It’s been three days since missing 15-year-old Elizabeth Thomas was reunited with her family in Tennessee, after allegedly spending more than a month with her accused kidnapper and former high school teacher, Tad Cummins.
Although Elizabeth is safe, her older brother says her ordeal is far from over.
“It makes me relieved that she’s not physically broken,” James Thomas, one of Elizabeth’s nine siblings, tells People. “But at the same time it makes me worried about … how far did he sink his teeth into her mentally?”
Cummins, 50, abducted Elizabeth on March 13 after “grooming” her during the school year,...

The easiest way to explain how [Blank] My Life is different from other web comedies is to discuss the way its second season starts -- not at a party, or in a bedroom, but in the mind of its protagonist, Susan, as she relives a childhood encounter with a sexual predator. It's a fitting way to kick off a show that respects the intelligence of its viewers and offers them subtle characters and a vivid script, all while examining Susan's mental state.
Susan is portrayed by Alex Spieth, who is also the creator and writer of [Blank] My Life. Early on, Spieth makes sure to let us know that Susan is struggling to keep it together. In the first episode, the memory of the aforementioned encounter leads her to burst into tears at an art museum. In the second, the idea that her babysitting charge could have another caretaker in her life leads to unshakeable paranoia.

A gooey substance known simply as “slime” is the new must-have item among tweens, and the trend is causing a shortage of its main ingredient: Elmer’s glue.
The homemade concoction is closer in texture to the jiggly “Gak” sold by Nickelodeon in the 1990s than the dripping green liquid the TV network regularly dumped on kids and celebrities, which is called slime. It’s simple to make (instructional videos can be found on YouTube) and requires only a few household items, often jazzed up with food coloring and glitter.

Ikea is facing another shocking safety-related recall.
The Swedish furniture retailer is recalling its Mysingsö folding beach chair after it was revealed the seat “can collapse, posing fall and fingertip amputation hazards,” according to a release on its website. This news comes just seven months after the company was forced to recall 29 million Malm dressers and chests, which were prone to tipping over and had killed at least six children.
A report released by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Cpsc) states, “Ikea has received 13 reports worldwide of incidents, including 10 reports of injuries, six of which resulted in fingertip amputations.

Last week, after a series of extreme workouts, three University of Oregon football players were hospitalized, one of them with rhabdomyolysis—or rhabdo for short—a condition in which muscle tissue breaks down so severely that the contents of the muscle fibers leak into the bloodstream and literally clog up your kidneys. It’s as awful as it sounds. Unchecked, it can lead to kidney damage, and in the worst case scenario, death.
The Oregonian reported that the players had endured grueling, “military” style workouts, including a session that involved up to an hour of continuous push-ups and up-downs (which...

A recent study by Better Homes and Gardens reveals that first-time millennial home buyers (ages 22-39) aren’t afraid of purchasing a house that needs a little TLC.

While they have aspirational dream homes, they have a realistic approach to their goals and budgets when it comes to home buying and renovating,” the report states. It also points out that they are more likely “to live in lower-end homes that are aging and in need of fixing up.” In fact, 50% said at move-in...

Katie Holmes is the latest star to jump on the bang bandwagon, and contrary to many of the faux fringe looks that have been gracing Hollywood’s famous foreheads this year (from Chrissy Teigen to Lea Michele to Karlie Kloss), her cut appears to be the real deal.
Holmes appeared on Good Morning America sporting her new fringe, and instead of giving us a total throwback to 2014, it seems the star opted for a choppier, shaggy look to pair with her straight brunette strands.
But if they’re not the real deal, it wouldn’t be the first time she experimented with the look.

Say goodbye to microwave spills and splatters!
Everyone has fallen victim to the occasional tomato soup explosion or marinara mess in the microwave and felt a little too unmotivated to deal with the aftermath. So you leave it. And it dries.

Storks takes the old myth of storks delivering babies as a starting point for an animated action/adventure comedy, where the storks have gone corporate and gotten out of the baby delivery business. Now, storks deliver merchandise for Cornerstore.com, a giant Amazon-like internet retailer, because now there are so many options if you want a baby. Or at least they thought they were out of the baby business, until a little boy uses an old form to place an order for a baby brother- an order that would never have been filled except for a glitch in the system that activates the long-shuttered Baby Factory.
A baby is in no way part of the company’s new business model, so an ambitious, efficient stork named Junior (Andy Samberg), who is in line to become the next CEO, has to deal with the problem – and quickly, before his boss Hunter...

Eat That Question: Frank Zappa In His Own Words takes its title from a song found on the composer’s 1972 fusion album The Grand Wazoo, and there may be no better preparation for the Frank Zappa revealed in director Thorston Schutte’s extraordinary documentary than this command to consume, and then presumably digest and defecate out, the sort of journalistic queries Zappa routinely endured, with patience, smarts and inescapable sarcasm, throughout his career. “Being interviewed is one of the most abnormal things that you can do to somebody,” Zappa explains during a TV interview to a reporter whose expression, an uneasy mixture of intimidation and confusion, remains constant throughout their encounter.
The composer’s testy relationship with the media is one of the threads that unites Schutte’s somewhat unusual approach—there are none of the usual associates, scholars and friends on hand to tell you secondhand (at best) what a genius Zappa was,...

The easiest way to explain something complicated to people is to have Margot Robbie spell it out while sitting in a bubble bath. That’s just science.

But the winner, in my opinion, was Robbie, who continued to prove that she has stellar comedic timing, and she knows how to wring a few more laughs out of a good joke. ...

San Diego Comic-Con has struggled with the “Hall H” problem for years. Everyone wants to see the biggest reveals for the upcoming superhero films, but not everyone can get inside. Or is willing to sleep on the unforgiving concrete for a chance to see their favorite stars up close. Or can even get Sdcc tickets from the Comic-Con lottery gods. For a long time, being in Hall H was a badge of honor and a gritty war story about the tribulations gone through to survive until your panel of choice was on stage. This year, Comic-Con is trying to change that. Some panels will be shown online shortly after their live presentations. It’s a baby step forward, but after the Massive Success of Star Wars Celebration live-streaming the Star Wars: The Force Awakens panel and trailer in 2015, it feels like Sdcc is lagging behind. But not as far behind as 20th Century Fox.

When we have that time, I try to encourage as much play as possible, because so much of what you learn about how to deal with other people comes from the way you play with them.

Adolphe Menjou movies today (This article is currently being revised.) Despite countless stories to the contrary, numerous silent film performers managed to survive the coming of sound. Adolphe Menjou, however, is a special case in that he not only remained a leading man in the early sound era, but smoothly made the transition to top supporting player in mid-decade, a position he would continue to hold for the quarter of a century. Menjou is Turner Classic Movies' Star of the Day today, Aug. 3, as part of TCM's "Summer Under the Stars" 2015 series. Right now, TCM is showing William A. Wellman's A Star Is Born, the "original" version of the story about a small-town girl (Janet Gaynor) who becomes a Hollywood star, while her husband (Fredric March) boozes his way into oblivion. In typical Hollywood originality (not that things are any different elsewhere), this 1937 version of the story – produced by...

What would happen if you smashed together an indie comedy web series and an informative infographic? Food For Thought provides the answer. The new series, from Australian creative team The Pirone Brothers, combines bantering characters with clever nuggets of wisdom and informative statistics related to common topics.
The easiest way to explain Food For Thought is to discuss one of its episodes. In an installment about breakups, the characters Michael and Ruby eavesdrop on a couple that is on the verge of splitting up and offer their own thoughts about the proper way to go about the task. Food For Thought also makes liberal use of flashbacks to explore Michael and Ruby’s pasts. In the last section of the episode, the two eavesdroppers take a seat on a bench of their own and share some statistics about how different generations prefer to carry out their breakups.

Written by Rachel Deering | Art by Christopher Mooneyham, Wesley St. Clare | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 96pp
A little bit of research showed that this title has had quite the history in its short life. Creator Rachel Deering has used Kickstarter to try and raise funds to get the title self published, had artists drop out on her, has had to fire artists, and had virtually every publisher she approached reject the title. After all that, it’s nice it finally has a settled home at Titan Comics. So what exactly is Anathema?
The easiest way to classify it is to call it ‘classic’ horror. It has the deliberate look and feel of those 60′s and 70′s Hammer horror films, mixed in with the pulpiness of EC Comics and the black & white magazines from Warren Publishing. The creator Rachel Deering is very upfront about wanting to write a book...

It’s not every day that the most consistent character on your favorite show loses her grasp on reality, but that’s exactly what fans were reunited with when The Vampire Diaries returned tonight after a month-long hiatus. Caroline Forbes (Candice Accola), even as a vampire without her humanity was managing to fair exceptionally well considering the circumstances. At least, better than any of her friends, that’s for sure. That is, until Stefan (Paul Wesley) crossed the metaphorical line in the sand that she had drawn and joined her on the darker side.
Since Stefan is Caroline’s trigger, it makes sense that the writers would choose to prolong her current state by establishing a clear cut roadblock in her friends’ path to restoring her humanity.
