By CJ Tiernan We've all had a moment when watching a movie where we saw something that doesn't exist in our world and thought "aw man, I wish that was real." Whether it is a place, a person, or a thing, we've all had that desire. For me, it is often the mode of transportation the characters use. I just want for there to be flying cars already. C'mon, people. Let's make flying cars a thing. In lieu of that reality, we can simply appreciate all the cool stuff we see on screen (

By CJ Tiernan First off, I want to clarify that this list covers movies that contain extra-terrestrial beings, whether in space or on Earth. It is not limited exclusively to the Xenomorph-littered series that began with Ridley Scott and Sigourney Weaver back in the '70s. Both Alien and Aliens are in my Top 400 Movies of all time (but unfortunately don't make the cut for this list), but I haven't seen all of the Alien movies and I'm not even sure there are 11 to create an enti

Anyway, I compiled a list of my favorite characters that take flight in movies and these are my Top 11 Flying movie c

By CJ Tiernan TV shows are so much fun to watch and rewatch. You get an opportunity to really spend time with the characters and become immersed in the world. It can be pretty devastating when you come to find that your time in that world is cut short or the peril your favorite characters were placed in never gets resolved. This is a list of my favorite TV shows that never made it to season 3. 1. Better Off Ted (2009-2010) Breaking the fourth wall is one of my favorite tropes

By CJ Tiernan Romantic Comedies, or Rom Coms, are the dessert of the movie world. They're delicious and put a smile on our face without all that pesky nutritional value. I have assembled a list of my Top 11 favorite Rom Coms of all time and I'm willing to bet it differs from yours. That's all right. We all like different things. The thing we can agree on is a happy ending. A happy ending is a delicious morsel that I'll take a bite of every time. 1. The Princess Bride (1987) A
