Netflix continues amassing high-quality foreign content amidst streaming wars, the latest being the French animated tale I Lost My Body (J’ai perdu mon corps). Premiering on the streaming service on November 15th after a successful run on the festival circuit, the film follows a hand on its journey to reunite with its body. It may sound somewhat grotesque, but it’s closer to a fairy tale or a love letter than a scene out of the Addams Family....
John Boyega has good news for those anxious to find out what awaits Finn and Poe Dameron in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. In case you missed it, the official 2017 Star Wars Celebration is currently taking place in Orlando, Florida and is hosting a large chunk of cast and crew from the franchise’s illustrious past, as well as its hugely successful present. With The Last Jedi next on the release calendar, it’s not surprising that the movie’s Celebration panel included some major reveals about the film - including, The Last Jedi teaser trailer....
In a note last night, Wayne Lam of IHS-iSuppli made the case against Apple going with 1st generation LTE chips in its next iPhone. I think Apple is more concerned with the extra space and battery life the new chips would consume much more than the extra cost of the components.“The first generation of LTE chipsets forced a lot of design compromises with the handset, and some of those we are just not willing to make,” said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple chief financial officer, speaking at the company’s April 2011 earnings call....
The Gang from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia are always getting into crazy schemes, either in an attempt to get rich or an attempt to get even with an enemy. Most of the time, these schemes blow up in their faces. Dennis’ car will end up submerged in the ocean, or Frank’s spy van will get destroyed, or Mac’s dad will get sent to prison. They always managed to screw things up....
After a judge in March invalidated almost half of the $1B verdict Apple won in its patent infringement case against Samsung in August of 2012, another trial would have to take place to determine how much Samsung would actually owe. It still owes Apple the other approximately $600 million in damages pending an appeal, but today the two companies are in court for a retrial to determine how much of the other roughly $400 million in damages Samsung will be responsible for....
Super producer J.J. Abrams returned to a galaxy far, far away to direct Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which will close out the saga on December 20. He sat down with Screen Rant to discuss the narrative path following The Last Jedi, as well as the screenwriting process for the epic conclusion. J.J., we’re at the end of the journey of the Skywalker saga. I’m a little sad that we’re here, but also very excited....
When anything gets popular, imitators enter the market. This was especially true for the British spy thrillers when they first started picking up steam. The early Bond films were so popular that they spawned an entire genre of Eurospy films that were all trying to capture the essence of what makes a great Bond film. There are dozens upon dozens of movies that tried to emulate the famous spy films, and unsurprisingly, many of them are unwatchable....
Joker is… well, we don’t have time to sit here and review it, but it is an incredibly powerful movie that shows us an origin story of the character that we’ve never experienced before. In some ways, it humanizes the crazed villain, and gives him reason and purpose. As such, today we’ll be taking a look at five times this take on the Joker was sympathetic. We’ll also be taking a look at five other times the character took things way too far....
It’s no secret that HBO has changed a number of elements from A Song of Ice and Fire, from naming the show after only the first book in the series, Game of Thrones, to altering complete character histories and even personalities. Many book fans have a hard time forgiving HBO for brutalizing beloved characters, from Daenerys Targaryen and Sansa Stark to even Cersei Lannister, far worse than author George R.R. Martin did, even abandoning the series for these atrocities....
When director John Singleton passed away as a result of stroke-related complications on April 28th, 2019, many movie lovers were left sad. Singleton was a man of many achievements. In 1991, he became the youngest person to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Director. He was only 24 at the time. Most recently, Singleton co-created the FX drug drama Snowfall, which received excellent reviews. He also directed single episodes of Billions, Empire and American Crime Story....
Those hoping that mainstream adoption of Thunderbolt from PC manufacturers would help spur an increase in reasonably priced accessories won’t particularly enjoy today’s news from Acer. Apple might be pushing ahead with Intel’s Thunderbolt technology, but it seems PC makers are choosing USB 3.0 as a less expensive alternative offering comparable performance for the majority of consumers. Acer tells Cnet that it is removing Thunderbolt from its Aspire S5 Ultrabook this year, which was one of the only Windows notebooks to ship with the technology:...

Apple indeed operates the largest online content store in the world, the iTunes Store, but its storefront in iTunes and on the web leaves a lot to be desired. As a result of this, searching the iTunes Store often resembles picking a needle in the haystack. I mean, a fifteen-year old showed Apple who’s who in the usability department by creating iTunes Instant, a web-based search tool. Another guy also wrote App Store Instant in the spirit of Google’s Instant Search....
Jennifer Aniston is one of the most beloved actresses of our generation. She got her first big breakout role on the popular sitcom, Friends, where she played the iconic role of Rachel Green. From there, she went on to become an accomplished movie star with plenty of romantic comedies under her belt. She has branched out more in recent years by dabbling in hard-R comedy movies and next she’ll even star in a television show on Apple TV alongside Reese Witherspoon....
Welcome to the latest edition of Jeremy’s 5, my latest quick roundup of 5 interesting little things that aren’t big enough for full articles, but are still worth sharing with you. My first edition of 2016 looks at two separate topics related to this week’s 2016 CES: first, Apple’s continued absence from the show, and second, the annual event’s seemingly declining interest to Apple fans. I also wanted to share some additional thoughts on Apple’s Remote Loop for the new Apple TV’s Siri Remote, the classic (but ever-evolving) iOS app Akinator the Genie, and the continued scourge of free-to-play games…...
Angelina Pivarnick, of Jersey Shore, is done being so forgiving after the booed bachelorette speeches at her wedding. It may be the season of giving, but Pivarnick is putting forgiveness on the back burner as she prepares herself for the new year. Even though Pivarnick has yet to plan a second wedding after her first one that turned into a circus, she is still holding a grudge with her roommates. The drama never seems to leave the cast of Jersey Shore alone - especially the Staten Island native....
Does the trailer for Titans season 2 potentially set up Dick Grayson’s transformation from Robin to Nightwing? The debut season of Titans saw an angst-ridden Dick Grayson effectively abandon his past as Robin, the Boy Wonder to Batman’s Caped Crusader. In a moment of symbolism, Dick burned the Robin costume he’d kept by his side, even after spreading his wings beyond the plush confines of the Bat Cave, and seemed to finally move out from under Bruce Wayne’s considerable shadow....
Both chapters in Andy Muschietti’s adaptations of Stephen King’s It are filled with colorful excitement. In Chapter 2 we get to see our favorite club of misfits once more yet with an added bonus as we watch them mature (somewhat) into the world of adulthood. Chapter 1 and 2 both burst with creative energy and charisma, but what does the first film do better than the second and vise-versa? Read on to find out!...
When thinking of television’s greatest romances, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is not a show that would immediately come to mind. The series about the group of deranged friends who own a Philadelphia bar is more interested in exploring hate than love. The main characters in the show, while hilarious, are very unlikeable people so it’s hard to imagine that they would even find love. But while romance is not usually seen in the series, it does have some compelling relationships....
Jennifer Lawrence made her big screen debut as a teenager in the 2008 film, Garden Party. By 2015, she was the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, a feat she repeated in 2016. Just over a decade of work produced a wide range of roles for Lawrence, four of which earned her Academy Award nominations and — one win. Lawrence’s characters include a mutant, a spy, a revolutionary, a writer, and more. While a lot of her characters have been caretakers, even more have been brave, striking out into the unknown....
