The 10 Oldest First-Time Oscar Nominees of All Time, Ranked by Age
It's something of a cliché to say that good things come to those that wait, but just because something's clichéd doesn't mean it can't come true. This is seen in the world of film, as while most stars (and sometimes even directors) achieve peak popularity when they're younger, others find success when they're older. Sometimes, they start young and grow their skills as they age, and other times, their careers don't truly take off until they've reached their senior years.

Lydia Tár and Daniel Plainview Fascinate Us For This Same Reason
Cate Blanchett's latest character Lydia Tár in Todd Field's Tár, yet another phenomenal performance added to the actor's rich filmography, brings another chillingly maniacal character to mind - Daniel Day-Lewis' Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood. Lydia Tár, the world’s most acclaimed and ruthless composer, is manipulative, scary, and starkly human on a level that is truly sensational to experience. While Blanchett already has two Academy Awards on her resume, she could likely win another Best Actress trophy in March for a performance that is simply “undeniable.” One of the few actors that already has three acting prizes from the Academy is Daniel Day-Lewis; his second win came for his role as the aforementioned Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood, a performance not dissimilar from Blanchett’s.

'Mary Shelley's Frankenstein': The (Almost) Perfect Adaptation of a Horror Classic
There are few words more synonymous with horror than Frankenstein. The story of the gifted but narcissistic Victor Frankenstein and his misguided pursuit to reanimate the dead is arguably the genre’s most enduring tale, and its flexibility has allowed for a constant stream of fresh interpretations that has made it a favorite for budding writers everywhere. It’s been over two hundred years since Mary Shelley composed her mournful ode to parental neglect and scientific experimentation gone wrong during the volcanic winter of 1816 (the so-called Year Without a Summer), and while time has done nothing to diminish its brilliance, the lax approach taken by its countless adaptations in the years since has made the original story appear increasingly disparate. Shelley’s novel is a very different beast than what centuries worth of reimaginings have decided the stereotypical image should be, and while a few have flirted with sticking closer to her vision, none have embraced this idea better than Kenneth Branagh’s appropriately titled Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein – a flawed but nevertheless compelling film that remains the strongest adaption of horror’s greatest story.

Sam Raimi Isn’t the King of Weird '80s Horror Movies, This Guy Is
If anyone in the 1980s could be called the king of weird horror movies, it would be Frank Henenlotter. There are plenty of other minds whose names could be up for the title, directors like Sam Raimi and Stuart Gordon, but those figures don't quite reach the oddball mold that Henenlotter shaped for himself.

The Terrifying True Story Behind 'The Clovehitch Killer'
Art often imitates real life, and in the case of horror movies, a terrifying way to make that statement true is to make a movie based on a real-life serial killer. Movies like Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and My Friend Dahmer are some of the popular adaptations of real-life killings in true crime history.

'Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches' Episode 5 Recap: You Gaslighter, You
Last week’s episode of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches was a double downer as Rowan (Alexandra Daddario) was mourning the loss of her adoptive mother Ellie (Erica Gimpel) and her birth mother Deirdre (Annabeth Gish). Rowan also got mixed messages about whom to trust when she watched Cortland (Harry Hamlin) and Carlotta (Beth Grant) argue at the memorial and give her conflicting opinions on Lasher (Jack Huston). The episode ended up in literal flames, as Ciprien (Tongayi Chirisa) took a knife to the torso for Rowan after Carlotta lit her house on fire and all hell broke loose. Right as they tried to escape, Lasher slammed the front door shut and trapped them inside. It’s time to unpack Episode 5, “The Thrall.”
