James Bond himself, Daniel Craig, took over hosting duties for this week’s Saturday Night Live and participated in the inevitable No Time to Die sketch. Craig previously hosted the long-running comedy show back in 2012, and he finally made his return during a busy time in his career. This year, Craig is set to wrap up his tenure as James Bond with No Time to Die, his fifth Bond film....
Yesterday marks the 13th time director Danny Boyle has brought a new feature-length film to theaters everywhere - but how does it compare to his other movies? With a career spanning nearly 30 years in film, television, and theater, Boyle has become a prominent and respected director, known for a unique vision which he infuses into all of his films. Boyle’s feature-length movie career is of note, particularly because Boyle has proven he is unafraid to bounce between genres and relishes the chance to put his own stamp on each of them....
It was building towards the character’s full entrance all season and Daredevil season 2 episode 13 finally unleashed The Punisher. The Punisher has always been a “hero” who stands apart in the Marvel universe since he tends to just shoot villains in the head than attempt to bring them to justice. The Punisher’s true identity is Frank Castle, a Vietnam vet who becomes a vigilante when his family is killed by the mob....

As the success stories keep piling up, so do the number of projects filling up crowdfunding websites with, among other things, neat hardware- and software-related products. Some projects, like Pebble, gain thousands of supporters as well as millions of dollars in funding (and end up at Best Buy’s retail stores). Other projects flop and don’t reach their necessary funding amount. Rather than make you sift through all of these projects, we’re rounding up the best or most notable projects from around the web and delivering them to you in a simple roundup....
Daniel Craig finally confirms that Bond 25 as his next movie. The actor made his debut as 007 in Martin Campbell’s Casino Royale in 2006, and he reprised his role in three sequels - the last one being Sam Mendes’ Spectre in 2015. Although the movie was a sequel to the most successful installment in the entire James Bond franchise, it wasn’t as well-received nor as commercially successful. So, the producers behind the series are looking to get back on track....
When season 1 of Netflix series Daredevil premiered, it immediately set itself apart from the current crop of superhero shows. While a dark, edgy tone isn’t new to the genre, the realistic, grounded take on Marvel’s blind vigilante was a refreshing spin. Despite the fantastic feats of skill and strength, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) felt pain, he bled (profusely), and he often needed help out of dire situations. That realism was carried through every action sequence, which were the exact opposite of flashy, colorful, CGI-enhanced spectacles....
Critics are accusing MasterChef star Gordon Ramsay’s new show, Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted of copying Anthony Bourdain’s shows Parts Unknown and No Reservations. Ramsay earned his culinary fame for his aggressive behavior in shows like Hell’s Kitchen, The F Word, and Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, among others. Two of the most popular household chef names can easily be narrowed down to Gordon Ramsay and the late Anthony Bourdain. Bourdain was known for his quick wit and cutting tongue, as he would often go after other celebrity chefs by calling them out on their subpar cooking....
Thanks to home video distributor Vinegar Syndrome, Tammy & The T-Rex can now be seen in its original, uncensored form on 4K Blu ray. It’s always a shame when movies like Justice League and Fantastic 4 are released in severely edited forms that the original filmmakers didn’t intend. While it may seem like a new phenomenon, the practice has been going on for years. Take, for example, Tammy & The T-Rex, a cult 1994 horror comedy starring Denise Richards and Paul Walker in one of their earliest films....
A chief information officer (CIO), chief technology officer (CTO) or chief information security officer (CISO) can command an average of $170,000, according to Payscale. As there aren’t many candidates available, rates are surging even higher. The impact of the cybersecurity talent shortage How bad is the talent shortage? The Infosec IT and Security Pipeline survey discovered that 92% of respondents believe it is difficult to fill open cybersecurity positions. Out of all C-level IT executive positions, the CISO is the hardest to fill....
Legendary “Attitude Era” faction D-Generation X is set to headline WWE’s 2019 Hall of Fame class, and will be inducted during WrestleMania weekend. Over the course of their long existence in various forms, D-Generation X has always had one question for WWE fans: “Are you ready?” That’s a question to which the WWE faithful have always responded with an enthusiastic yes. Of course, anyone in the crowd who wasn’t “down with that,” would be instructed to “suck it,” a phrase rarely allowed in today’s family-friendly WWE....
Dark Phoenix is likely to lose $100 million after bombing in its opening weekend. Fox’s superhero franchise has had its fair share of highs and lows since kicking off in 2000, and unfortunately the studio saved the worst for last. Dark Phoenix ended up being the furthest thing from an epic sendoff for the mutants, as it was hit with largely negative reviews criticizing its undercooked story and weak character arcs....

This new Darkroom+ workflow allows you to quickly flag your highlights and reject the bad ones.

It has very basic features like getting the current time and creating shopping lists with voice commands. However, a couple of basic features it has been missing is the ability to create reminders and set multiple timers. It’s hard to believe such basic functions have been missing this whole time. But, thanks to a recent update it’s now possible as the company beefs up Alexa’s basic abilities. Using Reminders with Alexa on Echo Creating reminders with Alexa works like you’re used to from other digital assistants such as Microsoft Cortana, Google Now, or Apple’s Siri....
Disney’s looming acquisition of Fox’s movie and film assets is hurting Dark Phoenix. The in-development buyout is currently in the final stages, with all legalities expected to be ironed out in the next coming days after more than a year of going through the process. This will effectively bring the character rights for the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and other tie-in characters back to Marvel, after years of being handled separately over at Fox....
The budget of X-Men: Dark Phoenix is rumored to sit at around $200 million as a result of reshoots. The tentpole X-Men film was originally scheduled to release on November 2, 2018, but it was pushed back to 2019. It had proved difficult for Fox to reunite the cast for additional photography in time for the November release, and there had long been rumors that director Simon Kinberg wanted a later release date....
Darren Aronofsky’s thriller mother! (starring Jennifer Lawrence) is now hitting theaters sooner than expected - a month sooner in fact. Paramount Pictures has confirmed that mother! will be hitting theaters on September 15th this year, rather than its previously-scheduled October 13th launch date. This means mother! will be going up against the likes of Marc Forster’s All I See Is You (starring Blake Lively and Jason Clarke), Michael Cuesta’s American Assassin (starring Dylan O’Brien and Michael Keaton), Albert Hughes’ Alpha (starring Kodi Smith-McPhee), and, Kate and Luara Mulleavy’s Woodshock (starring Kirsten Dunst) at the box office, during its opening weekend....
The Forecast team today released their iOS 7 update for Dark Sky ($3.99), the ‘down-to-the-minute’ weather app. The update strips back the bevels and gloss to fit the iOS 7 aesthetic. The new design puts the most important information — the current weather conditions — front and center. A graph plot of upcoming precipitation is also available at a glance on the main page of the app. Blurring has also been used to great effect, with the forecast information superimposed on a blurred view of the global radar maps....
Updated box office predictions after Thursday and Friday suggest The Dark Tower could lose its opening weekend to Dunkirk, a film that is currently in its third week of release. Dunkirk may be an intense, serious war movie, but it still comes from Christopher Nolan, a proven director of blockbusters from atypical pitches; the film beat expectations to net $50.5 million in its first week and showed off competition from The Emoji Movie to win its second....
1980 cult slasher flick Terror on Tour certainly isn’t the best movie in the world, but it more than deserves to finally get a DVD release. While any genre is capable of producing movies worthy of being dubbed so bad they’re good, it seems like horror is the genre most prone to doing so. In fact, there are many horror fans that enjoy watching an entertainingly bad film almost as much as they love watching a movie that’s genuinely good, if not more so....
