"Batman: The Animated Series" is beloved for how accurately it adapted the "Batman" comics. Many consider the series to be the definitive depiction of Gotham City. Yet "Batman" also colored in the margins, where the creators left their own thumbprints.

The series didn't only adapt existing Batman comics and characters. The "Batman" team also introduced a handful of original characters, spicing up the stories they could tell. Some of these original characters were such successes that the comics started adapting them from the show.

Take Gotham police officer Renee Montoya, one of Commissioner Gordon's (Bob Hastings) inner circle. Or Nora Fries, terminally ill wife of the villainous Mr. Freeze. Nora's admittedly more of a plot device, but her presence casts a cloud over Freeze and is the foundation of his brilliant recharacterization.

Some of the other original characters were more sinister. The many illustrious villains of "Batman: The Animated Series...

Fatal Attraction, the 1987 psychological thriller starring Michael Douglas, Glenn Close and Anne Archer, will be streaming on Prime Video on Dec. 1. The film has been credited as launching the erotic thriller boom that occurred in the late 1980s to mid 90s.

Fatal Attraction tells the story of a married man, Dan Gallagher (Douglas), and the weekend affair he has with Alexandra Forrest (Glenn Close). After their affair, Alex becomes obsessed with Dan and refuses to sever ties with him, despite his attempts to end their relationship. Throughout the film, Alex begins to stalk and harass Dan, his wife Beth (Archer), and their daughter Ellen (Ellen Hamilton Latzen). As Dan attempts to calm things between himself and Alex, he ends up escalating her behavior further, highlighting the film's themes of adultery, obsession and the lengths some people are willing to go to maintain toxic relationships.

While the horror genre has traditionally been intended for a more mature audience, numerous 'gateway' movies are targeted towards younger viewers and have a lower MPAA rating. Goosebumps is a great example, as are Coraline, The Corpse Bride, and the TV show Wednesday. However, young people will find a way to watch content that's not suitable for their age range, regardless of the censors.

Horror movies are designed to terrify, disgust, and thrill audiences in equal measure, and there's no fun in sticking to PG-13 horror movies forever. As such, it's no surprise that millennials have been brought up on more extreme films from the genre. Some of the best gateway horror movies may have been R-rated upon release, but would likely get a lower rating in some cases now. However, that's not to say they're appropriate for fans who experienced them way too young.

Arachnophobia Directed By Frank Marshall...

Jeff Daniels shared memorable spider moments from Arachnophobia & appreciated it wasn't about snakes. Arachnophobia stands out with a mix of horror & comedy; high expectations for the upcoming remake. Director Christopher Landon might capture the comedic essence of Arachnophobia in the remake.

Jeff Daniels has shared his memories of working with a real giant rat-eating spider on the 1990 comedy-horror movie Arachnophobia. As James Wan prepares to remake the cult favorite, Daniels recalled the creepy time he spent working with his eight-legged co-star in an interview with Screen Rant about his Netflix miniseries A Man in Full.

Arachnophobia, directed by Frank Marshall and produced by now-Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, was not a movie to watch if you break out in a sweat at the sight of that dark shape scurrying across the floor. Telling the tale of a Californian town overrun by a deadly species of spider, the film co-starred John Goodman...

Disney+ is currently streaming every episode of the hit ABC sitcom Dinosaurs. Baby Sinclair, who beats out Baby Grogu by three decades, is back to reclaim his crown as the most popular baby on Disney's streaming service. The classic 1990s sitcom follows the lives of the anthropomorphic dinosaur family the Sinclairs. The family consists of parents Fran (Jessica Walter), Earl (Stuart Pankin), and their children Baby Sinclair (Kevin Clash), Robbie (Leif Tilden), and Charlene (Sally Struthers).

Jim Henson first conceived the idea for Dinosaurs back in 1988. However, people were not sold on the idea back then. In fact, people though that Henson, the man behind The Muppets, was "crazy" to think that a sitcom about dinosaurs would be a hit. It wasn't until the success of...

Stars in the House continues tonight 8pm with the New Works Virtual Festival with Marc Kudisch, Miguel Cervantes, Shuler Hensley, Michael Leon-Wooley, Brenda Braxton, Andy Karl, Orfeh, Ted Louis Levy, Glenn Morshower, Megan Cavanagh, Joely Fisher, Marsha Mason, Adam Jacobs, John Rubinstein, Judy Kuhn, Liz Larsen, Stuart Pankin, George Wendt, Vincent Rodriguez III, Bruce Vilanch, Leigh Ann Larkin, Carmen Cusack and Christina Bianco.

The new streaming service Disney+ already boasts a pretty impressive roster of content, but one of the most requested titles that fans want to see added is the cherished ABC series, Dinosaurs. Well, we have some good news, as it is now being reported that the show will become available on Disney+ sometime in the Fall.

Whilst no specific date has yet been made available, the announcement was made via Deadpool and Free Guy star Ryan Reynolds during the airing of ABC's brand new game show, Don't. Reynolds is currently acting as both producer and host for that particular show. Though the Disney+ release of Dinosaurs is rather vague right now, hopefully the show will be made available everywhere, though again this is sadly something else that is irritatingly unknown at this time. In hindsight, it would have been nice for Reynolds to provide us all with a few more details.

Do you remember Dinosaurs? Star Bill Barretta and his brother Gene are hosting a virtual reunion of the ABC TV show, reports ToughPigs.

The family sitcom follows the Sinclair family, a group of dinosaurs (portrayed by performers in puppets) living and working in Pangaea around 60,000,000 BC. The cast (both voice and body) includes Stuart Pankin, Bill Barretta, Jessica Walter, Mitchel Young Evans, Tony Sabin Prince, Jason Willinger, Leif Tilden, Sally Struthers, Kevin Clash, and more. The show ran on from 1991 to 1994.

It was in the spring of 1991 that the hit show Dinosaurs began to delight children everywhere. Well, for four seasons it did anyway, then came the final episode, which is being remembered on social media for the bleak way in which it brought an end to this mostly lighthearted tale of suburban anthropomorphic dinosaurs. This year marks the shows 29th anniversary, and yet the horrifying finale is still playing on people's minds.

Dinosaurs follows a family of dinosaurs residing in a modern world. They have TVs, fridges and various other objects. The only human beings around them are cavemen, who are considered pets and wild animals. The show is still remembered fondly, with the haunting finale, entitled Changing Nature, having gained something of an infamous following over the last three decades.

October 5, 2017 will be a day that will go down in Hollywood history, the date that The New York Times published their shocking expose on Harvey Weinstein, detailing decades worth of sexual harassment charges. A few days later, another report from The New Yorker, by Ronan Farrow (the son of Mia Farrow and stepson of Woody Allen), levied even more serious charges, with three women coming forward to accuse the now-disgraced producer of rape, including actress Asia Argento, the daughter of famed Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. At some point when these accusations were being first brought forth, I couldn't help but think of the short-lived satire series Action, especially the series finale. It has always been one of my favorite cult classic shows, because it was so far ahead of its time in terms of its dark humor... and now it serves almost as foreshadowing of the despicable acts that took...

Another Friday has passed and that means two titles never before released on DVD have been announced by the Scream Factory. You may not remember The Vagrant but odds are you remember The Horror Show and have been wondering if it would ever see the light of day again.

The big title of this week’s Scream Factory announcement is unquestionably The Horror Show, or as it is known in some foreign circles, House III. I never understood how anyone came to the conclusion that film could be released as a third installment of the House franchise, but then I also have never understood how a movie about killer radioactive tree roots could be marketed as Troll 3.

In much the same way Hollywood gave us dueling volcano films (Volcano and Dante’s Peak) and dueling celestial doomsday flicks (Armageddon and Deep Impact), 1989 saw the release of dueling fright flicks about...

Arachnophobia will soon arrive on Blu-ray for the first time since it's theatrical release in 1990 from Disney. The release is part of Disney's recent deluge of catalog releases on Blu-ray. It was directed by Frank Marshall and executive produced by Steven Spielberg. What sets this horror thriller apart from other films in it's genre is the great cast. Arachnophobia stars Jeff Daniels, Harley Jane Kozak, Julian Sands, John Goodman, Stuart Pankin, and Henry Jones.

Don Jakoby wrote the screenplay, which tells the story of a vicious spider from the South American rain forest who hitches a ride to a small California town in the casket with a dead body. Soon after arriving, the large spider mates with a local spider. Not long after, the small town is infested with venomous spiders and the population begins to die off one-by-one. The doctor and bumbling police chief are aided by an insect...

Whenever you get two extremely talented filmmakers together both with huge followings you can run the risk of egos clashing and prima donna behavior, and god forbid you add a famous actor into that equation, you could be writing a recipe for disaster. However that was not the case when filmmaking legend Roger Corman, acclaimed director Joe Dante and fan-favorite actor Corey Feldman collaborated for the exclusive new web-series, Splatter; which begins airing on-line October 29th. Sponsored by Netflix and available to subscribers and non-subscribers alike, the series can be seen by going to www.netflix.com/splatter beginning October 29th with a second installment airing November 6th and the entire series concludes on Friday, November 13. But what's the catch, you say? Viewers will have the opportunity to vote on line for which characters they think should live and which should die, so they will actually have control over the outcome of the series.

One of the great features over at the Internet Movie Database is the Bottom 100. Based on ratings viewers of the site give to various films, the worst of the worst films get put on this list. Some of them are on and off in a matter of days. Others stick around for the long haul, showing just how much suckage they truly emit.

It’s time to look at these movies and determine where they stand. Do they deserve to be on the Bottom 100 list? Are they not as bad as everyone says? Will they be off the list any time soon?

Here’s the breakdown for this week’s film:

Title: ‘Miss Cast Away’

Release Date: July 26th, 2005

Ranking on Bottom 100 (as of 7/7/2009): #84 (based on 1260 votes)

A spectacular new large-format 3-D film, "Encounter in the Third Dimension" has the deserved distinction of opening Friday in all three local Imax theaters (Edwards' Imax 3-D Theatres in Irvine and Ontario, Calif., and the California Science Center in Los Angeles), a first in this increasingly well-attended and adventuresome form of moviegoing.

Produced and distributed by independent nWave Pictures (1997's 2-D "Thrill ride: The Science of Fun"), the 40-minute sci-fi extravaganza is destined to enjoy long runs and worldwide success.

"Encounter" is ostensibly a demonstration film, packed with seat belt-required sequences that showcase the thrills of large-format 3-D, which is best known to audiences through Sony Pictures Classics' "Wings of Courage". It's wildly imaginative, silly and breathtaking, zipping through the history of 3-D in art, photography and movies with an irreverent attitude.

With a 1950s-meets-the-21st-century premise and visual scheme, the "docucoaster" centers on a goofy Professor (Stuart Pankin) at the fanciful Institute of 3-D Technology who keeps promising the audience a demonstration of his Real-O-Vision contraption, with a virtual performance of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, singing "Haunted House". But the Real-O-Vision generator keeps malfunctioning, and it's up to the professor's winged robot M.A.X. (voice by Pankin) to keep the audience occupied while the Professor fusses.

The main set -- a huge laboratory with countless mechanical things -- is a wondrous, digitally created introduction to the format, with the crowd-pleasing title sequence involving a mounted ray gun shooting the explosive letters onto the screen. But that's only the start of a mind-blowing, occasionally incomprehensible rush of sensational encounters with dinosaurs, a bully re-creation of the Lumiere Brothers' 1903 "L'Arrivee du Train", a rollercoaster-like journey through the Earth's interior and the astounding finale with Elvira topping all that's come before.

Using excerpts from Universal Studios' Terminator 2: 3-D ride, historical stereo photographs and scenes from such vintage 3-D flicks as "Flight to Tangier" and the Dean Martin-Jerry Lewis gangster comedy "Money From Home", "Encounter" is always an eye-popping experience as it charges through many a complicated detail about optics. Alas, many viewers will give up trying to grasp the finer points of such issues as increasing or decreasing interocular distance. "Encounter" also doesn't always hit its marks humor-wise, but Harry Shearer's mock-pompous narration in several scenes is a hoot.

nWave co-founder Ben Stassen, a Belgian, directs "Encounter" with more than the usual attention to every detail -- scenes with the Professor, M.A.X. and Elvira have 37 layers of images, for instance. A team of 14 CGI animators worked for a year on the film, while such sequences as Iwerks' Journey Through the Center of the Earth and excerpts from Dino Island II-3D are unforgettable on the big big screen.

The latest addition to the talking pooch genre, "Napoleon" is no bone apart.

A "Babe" wannabe, this live action Aussie import offers colorful nature footage, but the clumsy storytelling, ill-fitting dialogue and shrill voice characterizations leave it in the doghouse.

While clearly aimed at the kiddies, the story is fraught with peril and references to death and killing, while much of the humor is surprisingly mean-spirited.

A cuddly golden retriever puppy, Napoleon (called Muffin by his mom) yearns to leave the domestic life behind and heed the call of his wild brethren.

He gets his wish when a makeshift hot-air balloon carries him from his suburban backyard home out to the Australian bush, where he befriends a talkative Galah (a native Australian migratory bird) called Birdo Lucci.

Napoleon picks up a few quick pointers in survival skills during bouts with a feral cat, not to mention stampeding horses, a sugar cane blaze and flash flooding. Ultimately the frisky pup learns, like many screen creatures before him, that there's no place like home.

Writer-director Mario Andreacchio and director of photography Roger Dowling offer up an exotic menagerie of co-stars, including wallabies, wombats, lorikeets, and dingos in addition to the obligatory kangaroo.

But the accompanying story and dialogue have a slapped-together, after-the-fact feel and the inclusion of a handful of banal songs, credited to score composer Bill Conti and lyricist Mark Saltzman, do nothing to infuse the film with some much-needed charm.

Tinny comedy pounded flat marks ''Mannequin Two: On the Move,'' the follow-up to 1987's ''Mannequin.''

Obviously aimed at the early teen masses of the coast-to-coast suburban sprawl, this modestly budgeted feature may well find enough bubble gum chewers to turn a buck or two. Forget breakout business of any kind, though, and the film's real profits probably await it in video rentals on babysitter nights.

Adopting the basic plot but only one of the original characters, ''Mannequin Two'' opens with a medieval setup scene during which beautiful young peasant Jessie (Kristy Swanson) is put under a spell by an evil magician (Terry Kiser) at the behest of a queen mom (Cynthia Harris) who doesn't want her prince of a lovesick son (William Ragsdale) polluting his royal blood with common stock.

Cut to 1,000 years later when Philadelphia department store employee and all-around nice guy Jason Williamson (Ragsdale again) is working on a display from the European kingdom of Hauptmann-Koenig that includes the wooden body of the self-same enchanted peasant girl.

Jason accidently removes the necklace that enforces the spell, and Jessie, giddily happy to be alive in a century in which she can go disco dancing in a stretch minidress, falls in love with her apparently reincarnated prince. Jason, who is not blind, reciprocates.

However, the descendant of the evil sorcerer, Count Spretzle (Kiser again) is after the reawakened lass himself, and with a trio of wooden-headed body builders, ends up chasing and dueling (literally) with Jason for her possession.

The thin action is filled out with hit-or-mostly miss comedy schtick from the usually more reliable Kiser, Stuart Pankin as a huffily officious store manager, Harris reincarnated as Jason's dating service-owner mom, and especially from Meshach Taylor as Jason's boss, Hollywood Montrose, a gay display artist who is the only character held over from the original film (Taylor also doubles in a small role as a nightclub doorman).

Taylor gives forth with every gay designer cliche ever imagined, clearly trading on Middle America's stereotypes, but on the other hand, his character is also courageous and ingenious at key moments.

Although the period opening displays some flair and the ending picks up some much-needed steam, the movie's middle is a vast wasteland of tired jokes and ersatz romance. The cast appears to be making game stabs at humor, and director Stewart Raffill pumps up a few scenes, but there are far too many script misfires and built-in flat tires (every time the bodybuilding trio shows up the film dies) to overcome.

The film was shot partly at John Wanamaker Department Store in Philadelphia, a setting that lends helpful doses of atmosphere.

CANNES -- Mel Brooks tackles a virtually impossible objective in ''Life Stinks,'' shown here Wednesday as an out-of-competition festival ''film surprise.'' As director, co-writer, producer and star, Brooks tries to get guffaws out of such unfunny topics as the homeless, poverty, hunger and street life, and the result is as unamusing as the goal was unwise.

In lieu of the anticipated outcome, Brooks can expect many to use at least one portion of the title when passing out word-of-mouth about the film. Business at best will be light, most of it coming from those attracted to a good, rollicking time based on Brooks' past reputation for movie tomfoolery. And those are the very people who'll be most disappointed.

As with any Brooks movie, all is not a waste by any means. Brooks' penchant for grand fun and silliness shows up several times, and delightfully so, especially in a slap-for-slap scene with Rudy De Luca, the latter playing a vagrant who claims to be J. Paul Getty. There are also choice moments such as one in which Brooks gets accidentally swept into a garbage dumpster, also when he attempts to tap dance for coins and/or clean windshields with a greasy rag, not to mention several other isolated moments of inspired lunacy.

But even when the funnybone is being tickled with a masterful touch, it's hard to find much genuine merriment in the subject matter covered here. Cowboys can be satirized, so can producers, Frankenstein, ''Star Wars, '' ''Vertigo'' and the history of the world. But homelessness and hopelessness are nothing to giggle about. Especially not with the amount of it surrounding us these days.

The film begins as if it's going to be a crackerjack. Brooks (Goddard Bolt) is established as a financial wheeler-dealer, so cold and ruthless he's more than willing to rip out acres of Brazilian rain forests or tear down a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., nursing home, anything if it'll add to his bank balance ($6.4 billion and growing). He owns half of a 2 1/2-mile stretch of downtown Los Angeles slum and wants to buy the other half from crafty rival Jeffrey Tambor (Vance Crasswell). The problem is that Tambor also wants to own 100 percent of the property.

Tambor tricks Brooks into a bet: If the latter can survive in the slums for 30 days without any resources or credit cards, Tambor agrees to forfeit his half of the property. Should Brooks fail, Tambor is to get the deed.

Once the bet is on, the film becomes increasingly serious in spite of itself. Even when situations are sketched with a light touch, things seems much too heavy for the laughs to be more than intermittent at best, since the majority of the scenes are set in such sobering locales as a mission soup kitchen, a rat-infested side street, an overcrowded hospital corridor and other grim dead-ends.

If it was Brooks' desire to let ''Life'' get cynical at times, then that doesn't work either, since too much of the film is done with tongue-in-cheek for the audience to believe there's an underlying message.

As a performer, Brooks is as good as writer Brooks and director Brooks allow him to be. Leslie Ann Warren (Molly) has some nice moments as a hostile vagrant who eventually mellows. She ends up as Brooks' wife. Warren is particularly shining in a golden routine with Brooks, dancing in a warehouse, a la Fred and Ginger, to the tune of Cole Porter's ''Easy to Love.'' (Her terpsing comes as a vivid reminder that Warren began her career as a dancer; she's obviously kept up her training.)

The rest of the cast delivers well in formula roles, especially Tambor as the villain of the piece, Stuart Pankin (Pritchard) as an unreliable lawyer, Teddy Wilson (Fumes) and Howard Morris (Sailor) as down-and-outers and De Luca as the loony.

Peter Larkin's production design is uncomfortably convincing -- you wouldn't want to live there -- and Mary Malin's costumes are also just right -- you wouldn't want to wear 'em. Music by John Morris and editing by David Rawlins properly support the subject.

Bottom line: Tough sledding ahead. ''Life'' is set for a July 26 release in the U.S. via MGM/Pathe; 20th Century Fox is distributing the Brooksfilm overseas.
