New TV Adaptation of His Dark Materials Arriving This Year
BBC One is joining forces with New Line and Bad Wolf Productions, the very talented Julie Gardner and Jane Tranter, to create an eight-part TV event of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials Book Trilogy. (You may recognize these two as former producers of Doctor Who.) His Dark Materials are often better known as The Golden Compass, (or Northern Lights if you’re from the UK) The subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. Although this was originally announced in 2015, the mini-series has been gaming headway with the announcement of a sequel to the much-loved trilogy. While Harry Potter & The Cursed Child brought a new range of readers to the Potterverse, this TV adaptation is sure to garner more fans for His Dark Materials.

'A Bronx Tale' Took More Than a Real Mob Story to Come to Life
When Chazz Palminteri appeared opposite Robert De Niro in A Bronx Tale, his credits showed a series of TV spots and only three movie roles. De Niro, on the other hand, transcended the notion of a career that could be summed up in a mere IMDB listing. Nonetheless, Palminteri's performance enveloped the screen and suspended us in disbelief where it seemed he was the one carrying all the credits and acclaim. The confidence to pull off such a feat was obvious. But what it took to actually put himself in that position... Well, as they say in the Bronx - fu-ge-da-boud-it

André The Giant Subject Of New Documentary
André the Giant may be best known to those with little to no interest in the wrestling world as Fezzik the giant from The Princess Bride, but those who cut their teeth on the WWF (now WWE) well remember the giant in his wrestling heyday. Not only did he become known for his inhuman ability to drink vast quantities of alcohol, he also became known for his heel turn against wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan. In Wrestlemania III, Hogan successfully defended his championship title against André the Giant and, incredibly, pinned the big man to the mat in a clean defeat.

Top 90s Kids Movies
In the 90s, binge worthy entertainment included films full of mediocre special effects, entertaining storylines, and the debut of stars who would go on to shape the movies we watched. You have never seen such an awesome collection of 90s kids movies in one place, including Free Willy, Mrs. Doubtfire, and The Parent Trap. These films, which entertained children and adults alike, have stood the test of time and have been handed down to the younger generations. As kids, we wished we were able to perform magic with our mind like Matilda, be part of a real life board game like Jumanji, or challenge monsters to an epic basketball game alongside Michael Jordan in Space Jam. Classics will provide entertainment for many years, and the best 90s kids movies will make you feel nostalgic for times past or incite new fun for kids and families.
