It doesn’t really matter how old we are, but Disney movies will always have a special place in our hearts. We all are huge Disney fans and no matter what we love all the Disney movies. From Tangled to Brave, from Ratatouille to Aladdin, every movie by Disney is close to our heart. Here I have a list of the best Disney movies of all time—

Ratatouille (2007)

This 2007 Disney movie was co-written by Brad Bird and Jan Pinkava. The story of the movie tells us about Remy, a mouse, who wants to be a Gourmet Chef and meets a garbage boy Linguini who somehow happens to be the legal owner of the famous restaurant “Gusteau’s”.

Well, great talent can come from the most unexpected places at times.

Monsters, Inc. (2001)

Two adorable monsters works at the titular Monsters, Inc. One is the top scarer, James P. Sullivan or “Sully” and the other one is his one eyed best friend, Mike Wazowski. They were quite happily living their lives until they mistakenly bring a human child into their Monstropolis and now they have to return the child to where it belongs. The story tells us how someone who looks tough from outside can be very nice from inside. We all love “Sully” and “Mike” for being adorably scary!

The Jungle Book (2016)

The Jungle Book is actually an adaption of Rudyard Kipling’s novel with the same name. The story tells us about a little boy “Mowgli” who is raised by a pack of Indian wolves. He has always been very happy with his life until the time he meets his real enemy, “Shere Khan”, a Bengal Tiger who was attacked by “Mowgli’s Kind”. The story leads to Mowgli and Shere Khan’s ugly fight and ends with Shere Khan’s defeat. The lovely storyline of the movie has always kept us mesmerizing!

Tangled (2010)

Based on the German fairy tale “Rapunzel”, Tangled is the 50^th Disney Animated feature film. The story of the movie tells us about the beautiful lost Princess with magical long hair who spends 18 yrs of her life inside a secluded tower. Her mother never lets her get out of the tower and meet the people from outside world. But, on her 18^th birthday, she manages to run away from the tower with a handsome intruder against her mother’s wishes. Then the story leads to various events where Rapunzel finds out her real identity. The movie is one of the best Disney movies of all time.

Marlin, an overprotective Ocellaris Clownfish is out to Sydney Harbor along with his regal blue tang fish mate Dori, in search of his lost son Nemo.

In the day of her christening, King Stefan invites all 12 fairies in the kingdom, but doesn’t invite the evil fairy, Maleficent. While the blessing session was going on, angry Maleficent appeared and cursed Princess Aurora that on the day of her 16^th birthday, before the sun sets, she would prick her finger on the spindle of an enchanted spinning wheel and die. After saying that, Maleficent left the room. Fortunately, one fairy, Merry-weather still was still left to bless the little princess. So she used her blessing to weaken the curse and said the princess would not die, but sleep unless she is woken by a true lover’s kiss.

The Little Mermaid (1989)

This beautiful Disney movie is far different than any other fairy tales from Disney. The movie shows true love, sacrifice, passion and selflessness. The little Mermaid from the sea falls in love with a human prince and in order to get her love she lost everything that was important to her. But her selflessness and sacrifices made her a divine soul. Do not know about others but this one is my favourite.

The Lion King (1994)

This movie is the best Disney movie of all the time. The story tells us about Simba, a baby lion who is the future King of the Pride Lands. But, then his uncle Scar murders Mufasa, Simba’s father and somehow Simba finds himself responsible for everything.

So here is the list of the Best Directors of all time. Did we miss any? Let us know in the comment box.

Ever since we have fallen in love with Game of Thrones, we have always taken the characters to be integral parts of our lives. We cry when our favourite characters die, or we cherish it when our most hated characters meet their end. Now that almost half of the characters are dead, we cannot wait to see some of the most hated characters dead. Here is a list of most hated characters from Game of Thrones, dead and alive:

Olly

This sweet little lad was once everyone’s pie when he came to Castle Black after he lost his parents and his whole village in the Wildling attack. But then he shot Ygritte. It was quite okay for us because she killed his parents. But when he betrayed Jon Snow, we all started to hate him. We felt good only when he was beheaded in Season 6.

Myranda

We all remember that jealous psychopath lover of Ramsay Bolton. Myranda was a sadist with an intention of keeping Ramsay pleased all the time with her nasty deeds. From having Tansy mauled by the dogs to intimidating Sansa, Myranda took everything to a different level for the love she had for Ramsay. We couldn’t love to see it more when Theon threw her off the rampart to die.

Viserys Targaryn

An arrogant, stupid and pompous fellow, who could do anything to get his work done, traded his little sister Daenerys to Khal Drogo for a bunch of Army. Though he claimed to be the righteous heir to the Seven Kingdoms, there was nothing “Targaryn” about him. We hated him more for what he said to Daenerys when she was reluctant to marry Khal, “I would let his whole tribe f**** you, all his forty thousand men and their horses too, if that’s what it took (to take Westeros).” Well we took a deep breath of satisfaction when Khal gifted him that “Golden Crown” and it led him to death.

Stannis Baratheon

Though at one point Robert Baratheon’s younger brother seemed to be the righteous king to the “Seven Kingdoms”, this stubborn and obnoxious fellow lost all his respect when he killed his own brother with the help of black magic. His hunger for power and manipulation by the sorceress has led him to kill too many people. We hated him more when he sacrificed his own daughter Shireen to the Lord of the Lights in order to fulfill his motive of becoming the king of “Seven Kingdoms”. We are still grateful to Brienne for avenging Renly Baratheon by putting a sword through Stannis’s heart.

Melisandre

“The Red Woman” as we all popularly know, Melisandre managed to be quite a despised character throughout the whole six seasons so far. Though she is a beautiful and graceful woman, this sorceress has manipulated Stannis to an extent that he sacrificed his own daughter in the name of mysterious deity the Lord of the Light. However, despite of all her black magic, murder, warmongering and stuff, we could not help but appreciate her when she brings Jon Snow back from the death. Let’s take a moment in the name of this Red Priestess and enchant in her way- “For the Night is Dark and Full of Terrors.”

Theon Greyjoy

This irritating as hell heir to “Iron Islands” always did things to impress his Daddy Dearest and failed. By betraying Robb Start and beheading his childhood weapon trainer Ser Rodrik Cassel, this pathetic petulant managed to gather all our hatred. Always took pleasure in putting other’s down but soon became a victim himself. Now he no longer remembers his own name and manages to call himself “Reek”, a name given by Ramsay Bolton.

Lysa Arryn

Littlefinger’s puppet, a mother of a spoiled child, murderer of her husband and what not! We all knew Lysa was quite selfish when she refused to help her own sister Catelyn Stark with an army against the Lannisters. She was so obsessed with her childhood sweetheart “Littlefinger” that she killed her husband according to his wish and later blamed it to the Lannisters. It has led to a huge civil war and hence thousands died along with her own sister and nephews. Well, she paid off her dues when she died after Littlefinger pushed her out through the Moon Door.

Lord Walder Frey

Remember that creepy, pedophile, dirty looking old king from House Tully? Well no one can forget the man who signaled for the horrendous “Red Wedding Massacre” to begin. This deceitful old fellow enjoyed young wives and spawned more than 100 descendents. He joined forces with Roose Bolton and the Lannisters to betray the Starks and hence killed almost half of the Starks including Catelyn, Robb and Robb’s pregnant wife Talisa. We only felt justice has been served when Arya slit Walder’s throat the same way they did to Catelyn.

Petyr Bealish AKA Littlefinger

Highly manipulative Petyr Baelish was the reason Ned Stark died and this is why we all hate him so much. Nobody knows which side is “Littlefinger” on! From plotting Joffrey’s murder to trading Sansa to Ramsay Bolton, Petyr Baelish did everything he could to be on the “Iron Throne.” Though we hate him to the core, we cannot just deny that he is one of the most important characters in the show.

Joffrey Baratheon

I bet there might have not been a single minute on screen when you didn’t wish him dead throughout the seasons. Joffrey was a sadist little obnoxious freak who loved to torture Sansa and find happiness. We didn’t like him much from the beginning but with Ned Stark’s death, we almost started to loath him.  But thanks to Petyr Baelish, he died an awful dead which satisfied all our thrust!

Ramsay (Snow) Bolton

A true bastard in every way, Ramsay wasn’t that much of a hated character at first. We did like him when he tortured Theon as we felt like he deserved it for what he did. But then, to our surprise, this good looking bastard took everything on a whole new level and we started hating him to the core. It was great to see how he was eaten by his own dogs. God bless Sansa! 

Cersei Lannister

Have you ever hated a mother? Well, if you know Cersei then you have. She is beautiful yet deceiving and the most hated character of Game of Thrones till now. Being a woman, now she has managed to take Westeros under her and no doubt she is way too clever than any of the Lannisters. From incest to adultery, from mass murder to plotting of her husband’s death, Cersei did everything without letting her hands get dirty. She is certainly one powerful woman to hate. Isn’t it?

Though we hate them, we cannot disagree the fact that without these characters, Game of Thrones would have been a boring thing with just a bunch of good people. As they say, “It’s the villains who do remarkable things. Heroes just try to stop them.”

 

“The Arrow” first aired their Season Premier on The CW on October 10, 2012 in North America and the international broadcasting took place it the late 2012. Since then it has been a massive success. Now that “The Arrow” completed its fourth season and the 5^th one on its way, here are some of the facts about “The Arrow” to give you a bit of inside:

1. Oliver Queen, a billionaire playboy, somehow ends up on a hostile island for five years. When he comes back to Starling City, he becomes a different person, a vigilante, trying to fight crime and corruption in his city. The character is played by Stephen Amell.

2. Although the story line is based on DC character “Green Arrow”, Oliver doesn’t use this name until the Fourth Season.

3. The Arrow or Oliver Queen character was first shown in the TV Series Smallville from 2006 to 2011. But then, the producers decided to make a totally different show just based on Oliver Queen and his humanity. So basically The Arrow is a spin-off series from the Smallville.

4. Most of the characters from The Arrow are totally different from the comic book. For instance, the character Jon Diggle, Oliver’s most trusted person is specifically designed for the series. He was added to mainstream DC universe “Green Arrow” comic only in October 2013 on the 24^th issue.

5. Felicity Smoak, was supposed to be on the show only for one episode (episode 3, season 1). But then, the positive response from the viewers’ towards the character made her one of the leading characters on the show who later played the love interest of Oliver Queen.

6. In every episode throughout all the seasons, the episode title has been said by someone at least once.

7. The Arrow never wanted to reveal his identity. But whenever situation made him to, someone or the other either lost his life or was in danger. First time when Diggle found out about Oli, deadshot tried to kill him by tagging him with a curare laced bullet. Oliver himself was shot by his mother when Felicity found out. Again, when Barry Allen found out, Oli was poisoned. Then, Tommy found out and Malcolm Merlyn was about to die from a gunshot. Again, Oliver’s life was in danger when Merlyn himself found out. Pretty ironic isn’t it?

8. The exterior shots of Police Headquarter shown in the show is actually the main branch of Los Angeles’ public library.

9. The character Jon Diggle was named after the writer of ‘Green Arrow- Year One” Andy Diggle. However, it has been rumoured that Jon Diggle might become the Green Lantern in upcoming seasons. As of now he is the mantle of “Spartan” in the Season 4.

10. As of Season 4, John Barrowman, who plays the role of Malcolm Merlyn is the oldest of all the main cast members. However, Emily Bett Rickards who is portraying Felicity Smoak, is the youngest.

Aren’t these facts fun? Well we all need to know some insight about the shows we love. Isn’t it? Being a fan of DC Comics myself, I am happy to have another Superhero in the town. Keep watching and keep loving “The Arrow”.

We certainly enjoy a good piece of entertainment when we come back home after a hard day of work. Be it watching TV or listen to some soothing music. Well if you are someone who like to munch on some snacks and watch TV, then we recommend you to go through this list of some of the best TV series for you to watch.

What does it come to your mind when you think about The Vampire Diaries? Vampires, Werewolves, Hybrids, Witches, Hunters, and what not right? Well, keeping the supernatural stuff aside, The Vampire Diaries is all about love, lust, relationship, and stuff. From steamy hot kisses in the sunset to dreamy farewell dances, it has given us so much to go gaga over. But then, there are some hookups, we just could not take well. A few of them are listed below:

Matt Donovan and Elena Gilbert (The Melena)

They both were cute, but not together. Close friends since childhood and then a couple, Matt and Elena were not just meant for each other. They broke off a couple of months after Elena lost her parents because she wasn’t ready for a relationship. But then she moved on with Stefan and Matt kept whining over the break up for quite a long time.

Jeremy Gilbert and Anna (The Janna)

‘Janna” was quite an unpleasant one. They both were selfish and started seeing each other for their individual benefits. Anna was using Jeremy to bring her mother “Pearl” back from dead and Jeremy wanted Anna for her vampire blood so that he can become a vampire and be with Vicki. However, they started a normal relation afterward until Anna was dead, and then Jeremy moved on with Bonnie.

Katherine Pierce and Stefan Salvatore (The Stefarine)

Katherine was the reason why Stefan and Damon became vampires. Well, it all started back in 1864 and since then Katherine continued to love Stefan. They came close in the recent decade as well but it was a one-time thing for Stefan. He moved on with Katherine’s doppelganger Elena and had no feelings for Katherine. Sweet Stefan and Fierce Katherine was no match at all!

Stefan Salvatore and Rebekah Mikaelson (The Stebekah)

Back in 1920s, Stefan was a ripper and Rebekah was Stefan’s love interest. But then Klaus put Rebekah into sleep for years and the love story ended there. However, Rebekah found Stefan once again after she awoke from her sleep and they get back together one more time.  Obnoxious Rebekah had a good heart but she was not just perfect for Stefan.

Bonnie Bennett and Jeremy Gilbert (The Jonnie)

This was the worst relationship of all time. We certainly love Bonnie but we could not hold this relationship in high regard. They both had strong feelings for each other until Bonnie found out that Jeremy was still talking to his dead ex-girlfriend Anna. They both break up after that and Jeremy died. However, Bonnie brought him back from life and they start afresh once again.

Well despite a few miss matches, we continued to love The Vampire Diaries and we will. We love the way they make us wander around the beauty of the feeling of love. Nobody does love-lust or even hate like The Vampire Diaries. We could all get that hot, steamy, feeling of love in just one show. We hope to root over a few more tremendous relationships in the coming season.
