The morality of the John Wick franchise is far from black and white. “Good guys” are hard to find in a world of assassins, but that doesn’t mean everyone is a cackling villain either. It’s a world full of shades of gray, with some admittedly darker than others. Even a feared hitman can fall in love and find redemption, after all. So where do these characters fall on the Dungeons & Dragons character alignment scale?...

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia recently aired its fourteenth season, and after all these years, it’s still going strong.

Since 1984, Alex Trebek has been the pronunciation snob who insists upon providing answers in the form of questions due to his role as host of the quiz competition television game show Jeopardy! The show has been around in various iterations since 1964, but it all seemed to come together for wider audiences once Trebek took over. On Jeopardy!, contestants vie for money by answering questions in three rounds: Jeopardy!, Double Jeopardy!...

In 2014, directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch reinvigorated the action-adventure genre with their 1990s style throwback film that channeled one-man army movies of yesteryear. Keanu Reeves shined as the titular John Wick, a former assassin who is forced back into his former lifestyle when tragedy strikes. The movie created its own fascinating world that felt like it extended well beyond the camera’s frame, complete with its own legends, physics, and, most intriguing of all, seeming complex and well-constructed mythology....

Veteran actor Robert Forster has passed away at the age of 78. He first came to prominence with a critically-acclaimed supporting performance opposite Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor in Reflections in a Golden Eye. He followed that up with an equally praised turn as Nick Tana in The Stalking Moon. Forster then came to more widespread attention as the lead in Haskell Wexler’s Medium Cool, which would one day bring him to the attention of Quentin Tarantino....

Not that it was necessary, but with his win for Best Actor in a Leading Role this past weekend, Joaquin Phoenix has solidified his spot as one of the greatest actors of all time. His chilling work as Arthur Fleck in Joker was nothing short of inspired, and his win was more than deserving. But is Joker Phoenix’s best performance of his career? Most agree it is, but given the breadth of Phoenix’s cumulative work, it’s certainly up for debate....

John Wick 4 will send John Wick into space says the character’s creator Derek Kolstad – jokingly of course. Released in 2014, the original John Wick introduced Keanu Reeves as the titular reluctant but very deadly assassin, a character that would go on to become a signature one for the actor. Following the cult success of the first film, John Wick: Chapter 2 arrived in 2017 and proved to be a legitimate hit with $171 million at the global box office....

One momentary lapse of judgment, one careless moment of instant reaction, and we can descend into a hole from which it’s hard to emerge. A particularly cruel scam involves preying on those – the elderly or those not well versed with officialdom, for example – who are most willing to believe an official-sounding phone call is real. The caller may claim – as did one I received the other day – that they’re from the “Department of Taxes....
