Films

If asked whether superheroines need to have perfect hair and deep cleavage, we would say that they don’t. However, filmmakers want to impress the audience with spectacular looks so much that they sometimes ignore logic. We decided to put together the movies in which female characters wore mind-blowing, but extremely inappropriate costumes.

Decades have passed since the heyday of the hit TV show Charmed, which captivated audiences with its blend of magic, sisterhood, and supernatural adventures. During its run, the actors were some of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. Now, with time marching on, it's fascinating to revisit these celebs and see how they've evolved over the years.

Movies can either be a box office hit or a flop. That’s why many Hollywood celebrities think long and hard before accepting a role in a film. Some artists decide not to take risks and refuse to star in films that, in the end, turn out to be huge hits.

Literature and cinema sometimes use very different methods to get the attention of the reader or the viewer. But even if we understand the concept, it is still really hard to not compare our favorite books to the films or series that were made based on it. And of course, we pay the most attention to the characters.

Even though all movies are scripted, actors use all the tricks in the book to sell us on their on-screen love stories. What is the best way to make a scene as genuine as possible? Improvise, of course! It can be intimidating to take your co-star by surprise and lay an unexpected kiss on them, but in almost all cases, the reward justifies the risk.

Only about 1-2% of the population of the planet has natural red hair which is why this hair color is really noticeable and it makes people unique. In Hollywood, there are actresses with red hair and they are incredibly charming.

It seems some celebrities have never been young because we all remember them at a more mature age. In fact, they have either started their career quite late or, for some reason, we don’t remember the start of their creative path.

There is a widespread belief that a pretty face is always something you want in your movie. People saying that certainly have a point. There’s a certain number of good-looking actors we repeatedly see in movies. But today we want to focus on those characters that aren’t defined by their good looks. Those are especially interesting because, in order to get the role, actors have to be talented not just good looking. However, that doesn’t mean that good-looking people haven’t played “ugly” characters.

In acting, aside from talent and charisma, appearance is another important factor for success. And while, for some people, it’s only getting harder and harder to look good with age, others have only gotten better.

There are plenty of talented actors in Hollywood that are really attractive. It seems that even time can’t shake their charm and charisma because, over the years, many of them become even more attractive.

Many directors love using little details to send secret messages to viewers. These details are referred to as “easter eggs” and finding them in movies is a great pleasure for many movie fans. Thanks to such attentive people, we can tell you which Aladdin character (1992) appeared in Moana (2016), or which ancient item was used as a futuristic-looking tablet in Blade Runner.

The screen version of a favorite book can disappoint a person greatly if the filmmakers decide to make significant changes to the plot. The impression from the movie can also be ruined by changing the appearance of characters: for example, when casting managers give the role to actors who don’t look like the book character they are playing and also don’t match them when it comes to age or appearance.

Many factors come into play when producers are casting actors for a big hit like Harry Potter. These choices are often so well-made that the viewer creates a powerful relationship with the character. This powerful relationship makes it hard to dissociate the image of the actor and their on-screen role. For instance, can you imagine a Harry Potter played by someone other than Daniel Radcliffe, or a Hermione not played by Emma Watson? Well, even though many of us think that these actors were “born” to play these roles, it is possible that on several occasions the producers did not agree at first and they may have even chosen someone else. It’s hard to believe, but true.

Signing autographs, endless photoshoots, and receiving long-awaited awards are not what the ordinary life of an actor or actress consists of. Their reality is much more prosaic: actors adhere to strict diets or gain weight, learn new skills (that can be fun, or not), and oftentimes work in conditions that are far from comfortable.

It is possible to write a book about how famous superheroes survived in the most extreme of situations, for example, Robinson Crusoe and Rambo. But are all of the methods they used really safe and effective?

Ariel, Mulan, Pocahontas — all of these characters have been familiar to us since childhood. We are so used to seeing them in a certain way, we don’t even notice the inaccuracies in their image. For example, Belle should’ve worn a giant powdered wig and Jasmine should be walking the streets with her head covered.

Beauty is a multifaceted and constantly-changing thing. The flow is the same as in the fashion world — while thin brows and impressive makeup were trendy yesterday, today, society appreciates a more natural look. This is clearly reflected in the film industry and with pop stars — while some try hard to look younger and follow fashion trends, others, on the contrary, adhere to a chosen style over many years and oftentimes end up being remembered by viewers even more.

Game of Thrones undeniably became a popular and captivating series, capturing the attention of an entire generation. Emilia Clarke, who portrayed the iconic character Daenerys Targaryen, experienced both the benefits and drawbacks of her role. While her portrayal brought her widespread recognition and success, it also brought to light a flaw in her character that she hadn’t been aware of before joining the fantasy series.

Actors often work on a movie for a few months or even years. So it’s no wonder they may develop feelings for their fellow actors. But these feelings are not always mutual, and sometimes, they have to leave the set with their hearts broken.

If you’re the kind of person who likes to ponder the mysteries of human nature even whilst you’re relaxing, watching a detective film might be just the perfect pasttime.

It often happens that a movie needs to tell the story of a character starting from their youth or childhood. In this case, makeup can’t help, so several actors need to be cast. And it’s not just the appearance, but also the behavior that needs to be acted out. This is a difficult task, and these roles often become breakthroughs for young actors. But of course, big stars can also be cast.

In the last several years, various live-action reboots of our favorite cartoons have aired, bringing the characters of our childhood back on screen. While many actors played fictional characters during this time, it seems like some actors were born for the roles of cartoon characters. Using AI, we imagined how 15 actors and actresses that resemble these characters a lot would look like actually playing them. And they turned out to be so good we can’t pick a favorite.

When cartoon designers use animals or other creatures to give life to their characters, they grant them so much personality that it’s inevitable to see them as human-like beings. So much so, that it wouldn’t be difficult to imagine them as our next-door neighbors (which cartoon character would you pick as your neighbor?). But what would they look like if they were actually human?

It is often said that “Truth is stranger than fiction.” And this saying seems to work very well for several of The Twilight Saga’s actors, who are living such beautiful love stories, that they even surpass the romances they had onscreen.
