Every movie with a plot twist is full of hilariously awkward unseen setups.
Despite a few craptacular CGI apples, 2015 was actually a huge year for gee-whiz special effects trickery.
Sadly, a lot of the people behind some of the best movies ever made get about as much recognition as the guy who sweeps your street at 4 a.m.
This ordinary tale of a time-travelling eccentric and his pet teenager has spawned some baffling shit.
Special effects are way more special when they're real.
It's in uncertain times such as these that we at Cracked must renew our sacred vow to expose the inaccuracies, exaggerations, and flat-out inventions currently filling your news feed.
It turns out that Hollywood magic isn't dead, and many of the scenes that had you screaming 'Fake!' at the screen took way, way more effort than you realized.
It turns out, some sequels only exist by feeding off the carcass of the original's now-mangled plot.
It seems some directors will go to insane lengths to avoid using CGI, seemingly just so they can point at the screen during the premiere and say 'yeah, a real guy totally did that.'
It turns out that sometimes in order for a film to really shock us with its ending it has to fudge the facts a little bit.
A movie set is still a workplace environment.
We're now entering the mandatory hype period for the 'Jurassic World' sequel.
So everybody, 'Thor: Ragnarok' was awesome. Article's over, go home.
Star Wars. You love it! You think it's great. But what if Star Wars stopped being great? That would be bad, right?
After more than two decades since the classic original duology, the 'Terminator' series is back.
Why did this suddenly become the month we exposed an industry so fraught with scandal that Variety now reads like a newspaper crime section?
Being a horror monster is a lot like being a small town cop: there's lots of down time mixed with brief moments of intense violence. Also, both occupations disproportionately target minorities.
There are a tons of other weird details that are seemingly mandatory for every horror flick.
Like swords and bear traps, nostalgia is all about how you wield it.
Get ready to chill out about shadows, balloons, and more.
John Hughes month concludes on Cracked Movie Club!
Aside from a couple original standouts, horror movies seem to trot out the same 5 or 6 monsters/killers/haunted board games each year.
The year was 1982, and John Carpenter was white hot.
John Carpenter month begins on Cracked Movie Club!
Steven Spielberg month continues on Cracked Movie Club!
Believe it or not, the idea of the summer break wasn't invented until very recently.
The term 'movie magic' typically refers to the technical brilliance of bringing dinosaurs to life onscreen or how Denzel Washington can make an entire theatre of men and women pregnant with a single knowing glance.
Who can forget the classic Oscars showdown between 'The Artist' and, uh, 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close'?
Will Smith famously turned down the role of Neo in 'The Matrix', a decision that created the current timeline in which we live.
