The answer is, just like the star, excited. We’re on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles to talk about Black Adam, and the actor is pursuing one of his favorite lines of conversation: what the fans of these iconic DC characters think about his upcoming blockbuster, which, in his words, will “disrupt” the superhero movie landscape. Johnson’s passion for Black Adam—the DC Comics antihero who was first introduced in 1941’s The Marvel Family #1 by C....

With Nintendo reviving its classic line of portable Game & Watch handhelds last year in honor of Super Mario’s 35th anniversary, it was only fair to give The Legend of Zelda the same treatment. Sure, we’ve had the pleasure of celebrating that franchise this year with the launch of Skyward Sword HD for the Nintendo Switch and Ocarina of Time joining the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack’s lineup, but why stop there?...

Of course Reitman is best remembered for directing Ghostbusters, the seminal 1984 film that spawned a franchise and has influenced an entire subgenre, the horror comedy, ever since its release. Ghostbusters wasn’t Reitman’s only foray into horror territory, however. His second feature film as a director was a low-budget horror comedy called Cannibal Girls (released in 1973 and starring Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin!), and he was involved with some other low-budget genre exercises after that as well....

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous season 1’s biggest cliffhanger is the fate of Ben. For most of the season, Ben is shy, paranoid, and afraid of everything. He carries allergen-free snacks in his fanny pack, along with a seemingly everlasting supply of hand sanitizer. In the last episode, after having a huge moment of triumph in the face of his own fears, Ben is thrown from the monorail, and the other campers assume he’s fallen to his death....

Telling the tale of two teenage sea monsters named Luca and Alberto (voiced respectively by Jacob Tremblay from Good Boys and Room, and Jack Dylan Grazer of It and Shazam! fame) who spend a summer disguised as humans and enjoying life on land in an Italian seaside village, Luca represents two major firsts for Pixar: It is the first feature in the studio’s decades-long history to take place specifically in Italy and it is, for all intents and purposes, the first Pixar film to be made almost completely at home....

Ray tracing is a feature so graphically revolutionary that NVIDIA named a whole series of GPUs after it. And after a big impact in the desktop gaming PC space, NVIDIA next turned to laptops. RTX 20 series laptops brought a whole new world of power to PC gamers who no longer had to choose between portability and power. Now NVIDIA has brought its Ampere architecture powered GeForce RTX 30 Laptop GPUs to the masses, and the results are as impressive as you’d expect from technology which the company describes as its “biggest generational leap ever....

SAS: Rise of the Black Swan centers on a hijacking: terrorist leader Grace Lewis (Ruby Rose) and her Black Swans commandeer high-speed train Eurostream while it’s under the English Channel, and the SAS (Special Air Service, essentially the British Army’s counter-terrorist unit) stud Tom Buckingham (Sam Heughan) attempts to thwart the hijacking while protecting his partner Sophie (Hannah John-Kamen), who he intends to marry. Based on the novel SAS: Red Notice by former British soldier Andy Mcnab, the film is an unflinching political action thriller that ends with a massive explosion, a bloody knife fight to the death, and a massive government cover up....

Subscribe to the magazine here. Most laptop companies concentrate on 15.6in and 16in screens these days, but HP’s new Omen 17 ( $1,850/£1,499) shows that there’s still plenty to like about larger devices. Its 17.3in screen is immediately immersive, and the 2,560 x 1,440 resolution gives you more pixels than conventional 1080p panels. Combine the resolution with the 165Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time, and you’ve got a screen that’s well suited to gaming, despite the lack of adaptive sync....

The actor, who is currently doing the rounds promoting his new psychological thriller miniseries The Undoing, where he stars opposite Nicole Kidman, didn’t paint a particularly fun picture of his COVID-19 experience when he popped up on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week. Grant apparently caught coronavirus all the way back in February when he was in London with his wife, Anna Elisabet Eberstein. He didn’t get tested (it was virtually impossible in the UK at that time anyway) but confirmed that he now has the relevant antibodies, which he says he’s “rather proud of”....

Barbara Thorson (Madison Wolfe) is the lifeblood of this magical film adapted from the graphic novel of the same name by Ken Niimura and Joe Kelly, the later of whom also writes the screenplay. As her sister (Imogen Poots) struggles to keep her head above water caring for Barbara and their brother in a house seemingly without parents, Barbara goes on her usual rounds to protect the town from evil giants makes a new friend, Sophia (Syndey Wade)....

There’s old school comedy of the ‘Frank Spencer roller-skating under a lorry’ kind, and then there’s old school comedy of the ‘clowns, dukes, ruffs and rhyming couplets’ variety. The Inside No. 9 series six opener draws on the latter, improbably combining 16th century commedia dell’arte with a modern-day jewel heist. It’s proof, if any were needed, that there really is no formula to this show. Peculiarity is its only genre....

The most prominent Ip Man franchise stars Donnie Yen. It began in 2008 with Ip Man and retained the same core team for four installments: directed by Wilson Yip, produced by Raymond Wong, and written by Edmond Wong. Yip and Yen collaborated in some previous critically acclaimed martial arts films like Kill Zone (aka SPL: Sha Po Lang), Dragon Tiger Gate, and Flashpoint – all of which were well regarded for their high octane action and brutally satisfying fight choreography....

Stunt teams are some of the hardest working people in the industry. They literally put their lives on the line just to entertain us and yet there’s so little acknowledgement of their contributions. There is no Oscar for stunt work, but there should be. Netflix’s adaptation of Jupiter’s Legacy has secured one of the industry’s hottest stunt choreographers, one who is no stranger to superhero action, Philip J. Silvera. If you’ve read Jupiter’s Legacy already, you know Frank Quitely’s artwork leaps off the page, splattered with intense moments of sanguineous bloodshed....

Filming epic adventures is certainly nothing new to Josh Duhamel, having starred in four of the Transformers films and the Call of Duty: WWII video game. In between, he’s been a part of 35 films (including voicing Harvey Dent in the forthcoming animated film Batman: The Long Halloween Part One). On television he made his debut as Leo du Pres in the daytime soap All My Children, and guest starred or voiced characters on a variety of series....

As exhaustively reported over the past couple of years, Snyder stepped away from finishing his version of Justice League in early 2017 following the death of his daughter. Joss Whedon was appointed by Warner Bros. Pictures to complete the movie and ended up doing a fair amount of rewriting and some two months of reshoots, resulting in a film that — whatever one thought of it — was reportedly quite different from the picture Snyder started out to make....

A film that Smith made in tandem with students at the Ringling College of Art and Design, Killroy Was Here has been a bit of an enigma for Smith fans over the years. Working from a screenplay by Smith and Andrew McElfresh, Smith and his crew of budding filmmakers began shooting in Sarasota, Florida in 2017. But after Smith suffered a heart attack that same year, the movie’s fate became a mystery....

Killing Eve Season 4 Episode 5 In black and white in 1979 Berlin, we meet a young Carolyn who was apparently always dry, startlingly quick (quicker than the audience, perhaps?), and maybe always a disturbingly cool customer, if her reaction to her father’s suicide is any indication. If Kenny’s death wasn’t enough, this is why she’s so dogged in her fight to take down the Twelve: both she and Konstantin were founding members, sort of....

Knightfall Episode 9 With apologies to Britney Spears, oops, they lost it again. Don’t get me wrong; I like Knightfall a lot, but playing hot potato with the Holy Grail every few weeks just rubs me the wrong way. That said, the penultimate “Fiat!” presents another side of King Philip that quite frankly has been a long time coming and features the welcome return of Brother Tancrede to the Templar fold after his earlier expulsion from the order....

“Adult Swim has announced a new spinoff series from its flagship comedy Rick and Morty. Takashi Sano (Tower of God) will direct Rick and Morty: The Anime, which will air on Adult Swim and HBO Max. Sano previously directed two anime shorts, Rick and Morty vs. Genocider and Summer Meets God (Rick Meets Evil), which earned over 10 million combined views on Adult Swim digital platforms.” Read more at The Mary Sue A new image from Thor: Love and Thunder tease a potential connection to the Black Panther series....

“In a recent interview with The New Yorker, Halloween franchise creator John Carpenter claims that Halloween Ends may not be the last installment. The trailer for Halloween Ends debuted last month, giving die-hard fans a teaser of what to expect for the upcoming film. Carpenter, who is behind the slasher saga, spoke about potentially growing the franchise and adding more sequels. He told the publication, ‘If a movie makes enough money, you can be assured that it will [get a sequel]....
