Doctor Who’s New Year special “Resolution” may have thrilled audiences with the return of the Doctor’s arch-enemies, but “Dalek” still stands as the best Dalek-centric episode of the modern era. The dreaded Daleks are as integral to Doctor Who – and as iconic – as the TARDIS and the sonic screwdriver. It’s a testament to the show’s writing and innovative flair that a relatively low-budget creation like the Daleks could instil such fear in its audience....
Robin Hood (2018) is a modern retelling of the classic folktale - but does this new adaptation include an end credits scene teasing a potential sequel? There have been numerous adaptations of the Robin Hood story to film and television over the years. The story, after all, dates back as far as the 13th century. The last widely released Robin Hood movie arrived in 2010 starring Russell Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott, though it received largely mixed-to-negative reviews....
Back in April, the well-known billionaire Elon Musk announced that he would buy Twitter in a $44 billion deal. However, the deal was put on hold a month later after a number of controversies. Now Elon Musk seems to have officially backed out of the Twitter deal, as he has formally notified the company that he will no longer acquire it. As reported by Bloomberg, Musk sent a letter to Twitter on Friday in which he confirms that he’s “terminating the merger agreement” with the company....
For the last eight and a half years, Marvel has been dazzling audiences the world over. It all began with 2008’s Iron Man. One post-credits scene later and the Marvel Cinematic Universe was born. In total, Marvel has produced fourteen films, each of which has debuted number one at the box office, and four of which have grossed over $1 billion worldwide. The MCU is now the highest grossing franchise of all time, and has no signs of slowing down....
Players think that the latest Fallout 76 update is not improving the game, but making it even worse thanks to bugs and other issues. Although fans were excited by the initial Fallout 76 announcement, they were less enthused after Bethesda revealed that the game was multiplayer and based on the settlements introduced in Fallout 4, and has colored their perception of the game ever since. Many players just wanted to return to the Wasteland to explore the post-apocalyptic setting that they loved in previous Fallout games....
Colman Domingo is one of the few original cast members left on AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead, and this season he’ll be directing an episode as well. When the series first introduced Victor Strand, the character was the epitome of cynical, which says a lot considering just how steep in nihilism The Walking Dead franchise is. Over the course of the next few seasons, though, as Strand lost companions like Madison (Kim Dickens), Daniel (Rubén Blades), Nick (Frank Dillane) and more, a new side of him slowly began to emerge....
We regret to bring the news that Ron Glass has passed away, at the age of 71. A spokesperson for the movie/TV actor has confirmed the news of his death to multiple outlets. His agent has confirmed respiratory failure as the cause of death. Born Ronald E. Glass in Evansville, Indiana, in the year 1945, Glass made his small screen debut in the early 1970s, having acted onstage at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis prior to that....
I’ve only spent a few hours with the new iPad mini, but I can confidently say that it’s fantastic. It’s not perfect, no product is, but Apple has done something wonderful with the iPad mini this generation. These are my first impressions of using the 6th generation iPad mini on launch day. The perfect size First off, the iPad mini is the perfect size. It’s smaller than the previous generation and you can feel it....
Despite rumors to the contrary, actor Carlos Valdes does not have any plans to leave The Flash. Valdes portrays Cisco Ramon on the series, the tech genius behind Team Flash who was also the metahuman known as Vibe before taking the metahuman cure at the end of season 5. His superpowers allowed him to open portals across the current world, and he could even open portals to alternate dimensions. Cisco is a major geek, who often uses pop culture references that the rest of Team Flash don’t usually get....
Two of the biggest pop culture phenomenons of the moment - Fortnite: Battle Royale and Avengers: Infinity War - have joined forces. Thanos, the Mad Titan, has landed in Fortnite and brought with him his own separate mode. Understandably titled Infinity War, Fortnite’s new mode sees 99 players and a single Thanos duke it out a battle field. The mode is only meant to be around for a limited time. However, Infinity War is so much fun that it should be added to the game on a permanent basis....
On its path to the current console generation the Gears of War franchise endured several significant developments, from becoming a Microsoft-owned brand to getting a dedicated developer in Canada’s The Coalition (previously known as Black Tusk Studios). This new dev studio, headed by Gears veteran Rod Fergusson, got their first taste of Xbox One development for the cover shooter series by remastering the original Gears of War title into an “Ultimate Edition” last holiday, and this year their first new game in Gears of War 4 - and the first real Xbox One game in the series - finally moves the franchise forward by quasi-relaunching the saga....
Each new year brings with it hopes and dreams for what the days ahead will offer - and in our case that’s mostly the return of our favorite TV shows and the release of our most anticipated movies. But for literary fans, specifically those desperately waiting for A Song of Ice and Fire’s sixth novel - The Winds of Winter - there is no joy this new year. By now, the popularity of HBO’s Game of Thrones has eclipsed that of George R....
Gerald’s Game Crypt Creeper - AKA the “Moonlight Man” - is based on a notorious real-life killer. From the moment Stephen King broke through with his first published novel Carrie, production companies have rushed to adapt his books for movies and TV. This naturally began with Brian DePalma’s haunting version of Carrie and continued with The Shining, Dead Zone, and John Carpenter’s Christine. While there’s rarely been a period where his work hasn’t been adapted, there was something of a lean period following the release of The Mist in 2007....
Gamers can properly immerse themselves in the bloody battles of 13th Century Japan as developers at Sucker Punch Productions confirm that Ghost of Tsushima will have a Japanese audio option for all regions. Already pushing the boundaries in terms of graphics and hoping to claim the title of most authentic samurai game in existence, Sucker Punch is eager to transport players back to the Mongol invasions of Japan. Jostling for the top spot of E3’s next-gen games, the likes of Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part II and Shadow of the Tomb Raider had players and professionals staring in awe at their frankly amazing graphics....
M. Night Shyamalan’s cameo in Glass avoids a plot hole in the previous movies in his Eastrail 177 trilogy. Though it’s not uncommon for directors to cast themselves in minor roles, Shyamalan’s cameos in Unbreakable and Split are anything but random, as he plays the same character, Jai, in those films as well as this year’s Glass, thus connecting the trilogy’s narrative threads. Establishing a continuity between all three movies - Unbreakable, Split, and Glass - was almost the entire purpose of the final film, as the first two installments were practically standalone movies....
King of the Monsters offers the campy pleasures of an old-school Godzilla sequel, despite going overboard with its relentless kaiju battles. After a five year absence, the MonsterVerse’s Godzilla has finally returned for Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla reboot launched the kaiju franchise in 2014, and embraced a fairly serious tone reminiscent of Ishirō Honda’s original 1954 classic. By comparison, 2017’s Kong: Skull Island moved away from Edwards’ restrained direction in favor of a far more colorful and rip-roaring MonsterVerse adventure set in the 1970s....
Rodan may be on Ghidorah’s side in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Next year’s blockbuster movie marks the third installment in Warner Bros.’ other burgeoning shared universe, the MonsterVerse, which began with Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla reboot in 2014. While audiences got to see the franchise expand with Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ Kong: Skull Island in 2017, they will finally be able to revisit Godzilla, as well as be introduced to several new monsters, in Godzilla 2, which comes from director Michael Dougherty and screenwriters Dougherty, Max Borenstein, and Zach Shields....

Good morning Upper East-Siders, more than ten years ago the first episode of the teen sensation we would come to know as Gossip Girl aired across millions of television screens in the US. Merely a year later, audiences across the world were enthralled with the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite, as ridiculous and farfetched as they may seem. Gossip Girl was everywhere for a solid six years: in magazines, on social media, and most importantly on television....
Despite plenty of evidence to the contrary, it turns out Jerome isn’t the Joker of Gotham after all. When Gotham premiered, it did so promising plenty of Easter eggs for the Dark Knight’s greatest foe. Throughout the series, maniacal laughter could be heard and ‘HAHAHA’ graffiti is never hard to spot in the city. We’ve even seen a failed standup and a take on the Red Hood persona, both homages to The Killing Joke....
