Thor: Ragnarok hit US theaters this weekend and it definitely looks like the money Marvel Studios spent on the movie was worth every cent.

She didn’t return for A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, which was probably for the best, considering how oddly plotted that sequel turned out to be....

Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus Andrew Lincoln has been the show’s main star ever since the beginning, leading the charge as Rick Grimes.
