It has been 17 years since Hugh Jackman first brought Wolverine to life on the big screen in the original X-Men movie, but he might have saved his best work in the role for the latest installment in the franchise, Logan. Audiences and critics alike have been raving over the film, a serious and powerful drama that is unlike any other superhero movie ever made, and one that has already become a favorite among X-Men fans....
Facebook 2FA (two-factor authentication) will become mandatory for accounts likely to be targeted by hackers. The move is one of a range of protections offered to high-risk accounts in order to reduce the likelihood of interference in elections. 2FA means that in addition to a password being required to login to the account from a new device, a 6-digit security code is also needed. This code is either supplied by an authenticator app, or is auto-filled on a device running iOS 15....
In season 1, Fear the Walking Dead took viewers through the first few weeks of the zombie apocalypse, turning presumably millions of Los Angeles residents into wandering corpses with a hankerin’ for some human flesh. For fans fond of its predecessor, the appeal of seeing the early days of the end of days was a big part of the show’s initial appeal, as that is typically the best part of any fiction involving the undead – walking or otherwise....
The Fear the Walking Dead season 5 premiere contained a major reference to Rick Grimes’ new story that will be shown in AMC’s The Walking Dead movies that are currently being developed. A lot happened in The Walking Dead season 9, which is due to multiple time jumps which allowed the show to completely revamp itself, but one of the biggest events was undoubtedly Andrew Lincoln’s highly publicized exit as Rick Grimes....
Future Man was something of a surprise for Hulu, as its puerile sense of humor is distinctly different from other original offerings from the streaming service, like, say, Castle Rock, Runaways, or The First. But the difference has helped the series stand out — well, that and its seemingly endless list of pop-culture references pointing to everything from Back to the Future to The Terminator. Add that to a very funny cast that includes Josh Hutcherson as Josh Futterman, Eliza Coupe as Tiger, and season 1 MVP Derek Wilson as Wolf, and you have the makings of a very fun and enjoyably immature season of television....
[SPOILERS for those not caught up on Game of Thrones ahead.] - Wrapping its sixth season earlier this year, Game of Thrones provided another 10 episodes of chaos, deceit, twists and turns that, for the first time, kept both viewers and fans of the original book series on their toes. The hugely successful HBO fantasy series has now been running for quite some time and is well-known for its roster of colorful characters; some of them hugely likeable and some of them not so much....
Following the roll-out of the second season of the AMC original series spinoff Fear the Walking Dead, which is franchise tie-in to the preceding basic cable mega-hit The Walking Dead, it would appear as though each and every major genre series on television would be ripe for successive spinoffs to roll out. That being said, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss might be served well to consider developing a franchise tie-in for their ever popular fantasy drama Game of Thrones for HBO....
Sansa is the last true Stark alive in Game Of Thrones. After a long wait, it’s just a few months until the final season of HBO’s fantasy drama, and there’s a lot of questions about how the show will end. Unsurprisingly, many of them center on the Starks, the family at the center of Game of Thrones. Since the first season, when the Starks at Winterfell served as the introduction to Westeros, fans have been rooting for the Stark children and their direwolves....
Since the end of Game of Thrones season 5, a great deal of the discussion set around the series has focused on two questions: Will George R.R. Martin manage to finish the sixth book of the show’s source material in time for the new season? And: Is Jon Snow dead or alive? One of those questions one has definitely been answered – as Martin last week admitted that he won’t be done with the sixth book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series prior to the start of the season....
The first full trailer for the live-action, western adaptation of The Ghost in the Shell finally hit the web today, featuring remarkably sharp visuals and teasing The Major’s not-as-it-seems backstory. Predictably, Scarlett Johansson’s (Captain America: Civil War) visual depiction of the character was slightly more obfuscated than the barenaked lady style of the original, but otherwise, the imagery of the anime classic appears to be intact. Leading up to this moment, there has been no shortage of advance curiosity and criticism over the new take, including the “white washed” casting of The Major and concern over the pedigree of one-time feature film director, Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman)....
Warner Bros. Pictures continues to expand their burgeoning MonsterVerse with Godzilla: King of the Monsters. A sequel to Gareth Edwards’ 2014 movie, Godzilla, and a follow-up to Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters sees Godzilla return to the fold along with the shadow government agency Monarch. With almost an entire slate of new characters at the helm, Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the final movie that will ultimately set up Adam Wingard’s Godzilla vs Kong mashup movie in 2020....
Gamers should get ready to place their bets because Grand Theft Auto Online is adding casinos. Grand Theft Auto Online is the multiplayer online extension of Grand Theft Auto V. In the MMO, players can explore the state of San Andreas and participate in co-op or competitive game matches. Developed by Rockstar Games, the multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V launched in 2013. Grand Theft Auto V was a hit with players when it released: it was only the third game ever to hit the 100 million sales mark....
In his first Power On newsletter of 2022, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman gives a tidbit about Apple’s development of a new external display. According to the journalist, the next external monitor, which is different from the Pro Display XDR sucessor, is “destined to be about half the price” of Apple’s professional display. Gurman also says he’s “hoping” that this new external display “launches in the coming year.” It’s important to notice that as the journalist says “hoping,” it isn’t clear whether Gurman is betting or in fact has a source that told him that....
[Update: Check out our Doctor Strange trailer breakdown!] Marvel Studios and director Scott Derrickson just wrapped production on Doctor Strange after shooting its final scenes in public view in downtown New York, with its characters in full costume. Doctor Strange represents the second chapter of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe which begins in just a few short weeks with Captain America: Civil War.

However, Apple has also introduced some new wallpapers that are exclusive to the latest iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models. But, if you want to get these new wallpapers without having to buy a new device, you can download them right here. As for the new iPhone 14 wallpapers, there’s a new one for each device color....
While it hasn’t yet been confirmed by FX, Adam Reed has announced his plans to leave Archer after the current season, season 10. 10 seasons is a good place to stop. It makes a nice, clean box set to have a round number like 10. On the other hand, it’ll be a shame to see Archer go. It’s been one of the funniest, freshest, most inventive animated comedies on the air since 2009, with the voice acting and the writing going hand-in-hand to deliver the goods....
Karen Gillan has shared her hopes for Jumanji 3, including who she wants to “play” her in-game character Ruby Roundhouse during the movie. Gillan is lined up to return for the as-yet untitled third Jumanji film, along with her Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle costars Dwayne Johnson (Dr. Smolder Bravestone), Kevin Hart (Franklin “Moose” Finbar), and Jack Black (Professor Sheldon “Shelly” Oberon). Welcome to the Jungle takes place in the same universe as 1995’s Jumanji and became an unexpected box office smash hit over the past winter holiday season....
Fallout 76 might surprise a lot of fans by going online. According to a preliminary report, the long-awaited next Fallout installment could be saying goodbye to the traditional single-player campaigns for which the series is known. Instead, Fallout 76 will apparently be an online game of some fashion, although details on exactly what that means are still hazy. Bethesda shocked the world yesterday when it released a teaser for a new Fallout game....
Fans waiting for the Final Fantasy VII remake got an important update, although it might not exactly be the news they wanted. During a conversation between Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura, producer Yoshinori Kitase, and development lead Naoki Hamaguchi, the three Final Fantasy veterans confirmed a release window for the upcoming remake. The goal is to have the role-playing game released on PlayStation 4 before the series’ 35th anniversary, which would be in the year 2023....
The Assassin’s Creed video game movie adaptation is directed by Justin Kurzel and reunites the filmmaker with several of his collaborators on his acclaimed Macbeth (2015) adaptation; including, co-writer Michael Lesslie, stars Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, and cinematographer Adam Arkpaw. Going from adapting a play by William Shakespeare to bringing a highly-popular Ubisoft gaming IP is certainly an unusual move on Kurzel’s part, but also one that suggests that in his hands, Assassin’s Creed could be something special - and not just by the (admittedly, low) standards of video game-inspired cinema, either....
