Considering his father is the legendary Brendan Gleeson, there was always going to be a foot in the acting door for Domhnall. However, what people didn’t expect was for him to enter the door with such grandeur and ferocity. Way back in 2006 he landed himself a Tony nomination for his part in The Lieutenant Of Inishmore, but it was around 2015 that his career really took off. However, every career has its ups and downs....

Prepare your minds to bend along with reality as Doctor Strange finally gets his day on the big screen. The Marvel character is debuting in November on the big screen and expectations are high due to not only the success of recent Marvel movies in the past decade, but also the franchise’s surging popularity on Netflix, the star-packed cast and a team of seasoned filmmakers behind it.

Directed by Ben Young, Extinction at first seems like a typical invasion movie along the lines of Cloverfield or War of the Worlds, but a mid-movie twist reveals that there’s more to the story than meets the eye....
Josh Trank suggests his cut of Fantastic Four and Zack Snyder’s Justice Legaue for a double feature. There’s no blatant similarities with the two films, understandably confusing fans other than both being superhero movies. However, looking closer, there may actually be some parallels between them. Almost two years since Warner Bros. and DC’s superhero film, it’s relevant as ever with fans relentlessly supporting the Release the Snyder Cut campaign. This movement, which began shortly after the film hit hit theaters, demands that Warner Bros....
Apple might be disappointed that a lot of what it announced yesterday leaked beforehand, but the company still managed to pull enough surprises out of the hat. Tim Cook punned beforehand that Far Out would be a stellar event, and he wasn’t wrong. From the absolute UI genius of the Dynamic Island to the unexpectedly low price of the Apple Watch Ultra, it was an impressive event from start to finish …...

In the third episode of season 5, Fear The Walking Dead’s main group are on the hunt for Al (Maggie Grace), one of their number who has mysteriously disappeared, and have split into groups to cover more ground. This week’s offering focuses on the duo of John Dorie and June, two romantically involved survivors who are very much still in their sickeningly sweet honeymoon period....
Everywhere you look it seems like more and more big Hollywood bigwigs are being accused of inappropriate behavior, and now Fuller House showrunner Jeff Franklin is one of them. Warner Bros. has ousted Franklin from his position on the TV series and has declined to renew their production deal with the veteran producer. Best known for his work on the original Full House, Hangin’ With Mister Cooper, and a short-lived sitcom based on the children’s book Stuart Little, Franklin built his career on family-friendly entertainment....
Two Guild Wars 2 writers were fired after tweets they made earlier this week were deemed inappropriate. ArenaNet fired the writers after deciding that the tweets were unacceptable in the way they communicated with the players of Guild Wars 2. Guild Wars 2 is a MMORPG originally developed by ArenaNet in 2012. The game still has an avid following with players who take on roles in a fantasy world called Tyria that lets them go on adventures and missions within that vast setting....
Apple last week announced multiple new products, including the iPhone 13 lineup, the 9th-generation iPad, and the 6th-generation iPad mini with an all-new design. These new devices come with brand-new wallpapers, and you can download them right here. Instead of abstract images, Apple this time has created wallpapers with the word “mini” as if it had been artistically handwritten. There are four different versions of the new wallpapers based on the four colors of the iPad mini: space gray, pink, purple, and starlight....
The Avengers: Endgame merchandise may have confirmed the purpose of the Avengers’ mysterious new white suits. Nobody was particularly surprised when merchandise revealed that the Avengers would be getting new costumes of some sort in Avengers: Endgame. From a business point of view, a costume change of some kind means more money from sale of merchandise. And yet, these new outfits looked pretty functional - as though they really were driven by the plot....
The upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will introduce the world to magizoologist Newt Scamander (Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne), the wizard who shall one day write the eponymous textbook that, in turn, will be studied by countless students who attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter among them. However, when the movie picks up with Scamander in 1926, he’s only just completed his journey around the world to find and document a wide variety of “fantastic beasts” for the benefit of the Wizarding World (and away from the prying eyes of the non-magic users in this world aka Muggles and No-Majs)....
A decision on a new streaming service for the National Football League’s Sunday Ticket is coming sooner rather than later. The NFL’s commissioner said in an interview that a decision will be made by fall, just in time for the new season. Could Apple seal the deal as the exclusive streaming service for the NFL Sunday Ticket? I clearly believe we’ll be moving to a streaming service. I think that’s best for consumers at this stage....
Apple announced the iPad mini 6 at its special “California streaming” event on September 14, and pre-orders began immediately after the keynote.

FOX recently unveiled its full broadcasting schedule for the upcoming 2016-17 TV season. In-keeping with the current trends, the network will be returning to deliver some small screen adaptations of classic movies (The Exorcist, Lethal Weapon, Rocky Horror Picture Show), in addition to offering some reboots and revivals of beloved television shows (24: Legacy, Prison Break). Rather refreshingly though, there will also be some original programming (Son of Zorn, APB) in the mix too – in fact, the most ever in FOX’s TV slate history....
Debating which is better, Star Wars or Star Trek, isn’t likely to be more productive than debating which is better, my religion or yours, because both sides have fans who are devoted to their favorite franchise and thus unable to see issues from the perspective of the other side. However, while Star Wars and Star Trek share a futuristic setting, there are differences between them that could be basis for objective assessment of their relative merits....
With the premiere just one week away, HBO is ramping up the hype for season 6 of Game of Thrones. Hopes are high as the series continues to branch away from the timeline of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire under the guidance of long-time show runners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff. In the latest clip from the upcoming season, fans are given a chance to catch up with Arya Stark (who, these days, is simply going by ’no one’) as she continues her training in Braavos while completely blind....
Margot Robbie will look different the next time she plays Harley Quinn, with Birds of Prey set to debut a new costume. One of the best parts of Suicide Squad was Robbie’s portrayal of Dr. Harleen Quinzel. She was able to bring out all of Harley’s crazy, while still giving her enough personality to make her a likable anti-hero. The overwhelmingly positive response to her put Warner Bros. in the position of developing numerous films that could possibly star their latest breakout....
Ant-Man & the Wasp is the latest blockbuster hit from Marvel Studios, but does it have an end-credits scene? The short answer: yes! Marvel Studios didn’t invent the end-credits scene, but they’ve certainly turned it into something of a trademark. And yet, things seem to be changing a little at the House of Ideas; the Russo brothers actually considered not giving Avengers: Infinity War a post-credits scene at all. They ultimately decided to film a brief clip, but the fact remains that Marvel almost considered abandoning this tradition....
