Fox has seen considerable success bringing the X-Men franchise to the big screen, from ensemble pictures such as the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse to the surprise success of Deadpool’s solo outing. It is easy to forget, then, that the studio has faced repeated failures to adapt another Marvel franchise to the big screen: the Fantastic Four. After two critically panned Fantastic Four movies in 2005 and 2007, Fox tried to redeem the franchise in 2015 with a rebooted Fantastic Four featuring a new cast and a reworked origin story....

The Fast and The Furious director Rob Cohen wants to return to helm the forthcoming final installment in the long-running series, Fast & Furious 10. Cohen directed the 2001 Fast & Furious film based on a script by Gary Scott Thompson (Hollow Man) and David Ayer (Suicide Squad), with a story by Thompson. The film was inspired by the Vibe magazine article “Racer X,” which documented street racing in New York City, yet it was an original story that ended up spawning one of the most commercially successful franchises in cinema history....

The cast is just about the only concrete detail we know about the forthcoming Fast & Furious film, aside from the fact it will be directed by Fast & Furious veteran Justin Lin....

Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers came roaring into being earlier this month, bringing with it plenty of thrills and extra frills for both series veterans and newcomers alike. The new jobs accompanying the expansion having been enticing to the existing community and a nod to previous releases in Square Enix’s mainline Final Fantasy series, so the interest in both classes has been understandably immense. There’s a new sheriff in town; Gunbreaker is the flavor of the month when it comes to Tanks now, and we think it’s delicious....

One of the first questions to come to mind when watching Final Space, the new sci-fi animated comedy on TBS from executive producer Conan O’Brien, is: Just who is this show supposed to be for? It’s a good question, as the series, created by Olan Rogers, is a curious mishmash of science fiction tropes and elements familiar to other animated series, like The Simpsons and, more obviously, Futurama. Case in point: the series’ main character, Gary, is another staggeringly dimwitted dude who is prone to making incredibly poor life decisions that inevitably send him tumbling down a path to self-actualization (maybe)....

Released in 2003, Disney/Pixar’s Finding Nemo proved to be an instant hit, earning a total of $936 million worldwide, and later receiving universal acclaim together with the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

Funimation’s CEO Gen Fukunaga believes that releasing Neon Genesis Evangelion on Netflix will be a huge mistake. Fukunaga, a 20-year veteran of the industry, expressed fears that Netflix’s oversaturation of titles and content will lead to the death of the once iconic anime brand. He doesn’t want to see such an important piece of anime history lost in the unending shuffle of content - something he claims would never happen if the groundbreaking mecha had come to Funimation....

Film adaptations of video games have never been the most prevalent genre, but it figures to only be a matter of time before the genre hits it big. This year is proof that despite past failures, studios continue to try and make this genre successful. Based on the popular MMO World of Warcraft, Warcraft was released earlier this year to not-so-favorable reviews and a lack of the high box office numbers needed....

Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ after-credits scene sets up the return of Ghidorah, teasing even more threats to Gojira than just King Kong. The giant atomic lizard will return in next year’s Godzilla vs. Kong, but his movie future now appears to stretch beyond that grudge match.

Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is set to be the biggest and strangest release window of the franchise to date. It’s already a juggernaut of commercial and critical success as last year, Captain America: Civil War joined the billion dollar club and injected some much-needed drama to the ensemble formula, while Doctor Strange introduced the franchise to sorcery and the celestial plane. The scope has never been so large and the lay of the land less predictable, with the Avengers divided between the morals of Iron Man and Captain America, and a new Infinity Stone revealed on Earth....

In our temporary living situation, I am without my normal HomeKit setup, so I’ve had to rethink what HomeKit products I want to reconfigure.

As someone that grew up in the Windows XP era where you reinstalled the OS once a year, old habits are hard to break....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe only continues to improve upon itself, with the numbers proving that each Phase is better than the last. Marvel Studios is in the midst of celebrating 10 years of the MCU, and the box office receipts for Avengers: Infinity War give them plenty of reasons to celebrate. After all of this buildup, their nineteenth movie is the biggest of them all. The box office total of the culmination (or at least Part 1 of it) is one thing, but the shared universe is even improving when it comes to how well their movies are being received; from Phase One to Phase Two and now into Phase Three, the MCU only continues to get better reviews and earn more at the box office as a result....

Results have been decidedly mixed for animation directors associated with the moneymaking Pixar studio transitioning into live action.

Similarly, Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton’s John Carter failed to light up the box office and, similar to Tomorrowland, earned a lukewarm critical reception, on the whole....

Fortnite players can expect to get some mounted turrets to play with sometime soon. While the popular battle royale is still dominating the genre, they have to keep things interesting in order to remain one step ahead of their growing list of competition. Developer Epic Games has maintained their game’s status largely through a constant stream of new skins, outlandish weapons, and the occasional breach across realities. The latest addition to the game, planned to be released later this week, is a usable turret....
