On March 16, 2001, Christopher Nolan’s Memento opened in movie theaters. Its ingenious non-linear narrative forced viewers to completely rethink every unwritten rule about cinematic story structure.On May 21, 2002, Christopher Nolan’s Memento came out on a limited edition DVD. Its complex web of onscreen menus forced viewers to completely rethink every unwritten rule about home video formats — in the most annoying and least user-friendly way possible.On paper, at least, the concept made some sense. Memento — directed and written by Nolan from a story by his brother Jonathan — is a movie told out of chronological order. Its protagonist, Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) suffers from a form of amnesia. After a…

When it comes to guys like Stephen King, film and TV adaptations are a dime a dozen. It might be hard to believe, but for every novel or short story that the king of horror has churned out, a ridiculous number of screen iterations have followed in their wake. This is for good reason, too. King basically prints money. There are the groundbreaking It adaptations (from the films to the latest Welcome to Derry series), several Carrie movies, a few Shining-related projects (some better than others), and the endlessly resurrected Pet Sematary franchise. Still, many corners haven’t quite gotten their…

With over a thousand episodes, a live-action adaptation, and endless manga chapters, Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is an absolute juggernaut. But beyond these, there is also a massive library of feature films that range from cinematic masterpieces to skippable filler. While the majority of these releases are non-canon, some offer a totally fresh take on the Straw Hats’ adventure. It gives you a unique, high-budget experience that you just don’t get in the main storyline. And with Oda teasing a new movie in production at Jump Festa 2026, there’s never been a better time to figure out which theatrical adventures…

Certainly it has provided fertile ground for Phil Lord and Christopher Miller ever since 2009’s Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, who return to live-action filmmaking for the first time since 2014 with Project Hail Mary, adapted by Drew Goddard from Andy Weir’s novel of the same name. This is familiar ground – Goddard wrote the script for Ridley Scott’s The…

There’s no doubt that when Bob’s Burgers premiered back in 2011, creators Loren Bouchard and Jim Dauterive knew they had something special to share with the world. But as is the case with most shows, it took some time for the FOX series to really find its footing. With 16 seasons under its belt, and having been renewed through Season 19, it’s clear that they’ve righted the ship. It’s hard to deny, however, that the early seasons are rough. Whether it’s the one-dimensional characters, or the low-budget animation, Bob’s Burgers definitely went through some growing pains. Our first glimpse into…

It’s a story concerned with the psychological traumas that can be inflicted by such a choice, and also the way that it allows us to partition and perhaps even massage our memories…
