Ever since the dark and gritty Power Rangers short film starring James Van Der Beek and Katee Sackhoff hit the web, fans of the franchise have been hungry for a more grounded iteration of the teens with attitude. And that is exactly what has been promised by the promotional material for the upcoming big screen reboot. No, this upcoming feature length Power Rangers adaptation does not look be quite as grim as Joseph Kahn’s aforementioned short, but it does look to be a far departure from the campy, lighthearted tone of the long-running television series....
As soon as Apple unveiled the new iMac earlier this year, it hit me that the company needed to give the same design treatment to its mobile counterpart, the MacBook Air.

Captain America is getting a major costume upgrade in Avengers: Endgame as he’ll finally dawn his chainmail look. This is his classic design in the comics after all, making it all the more surprising that Marvel Studios waited this long to bring it to the screen.

Arguably the most-anticipated film of 2018, Infinity War is the first half of MCU’s crowning jewel project, with the other half, Avengers 4, not due until 2019.

The cast of Deadpool 2 appears on a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 and no one saw the best joke of the whole thing.

We’ve already gone over some shocking alternate endings as well as those that are unknown to most moviegoers....
Dave Bautista has officially volunteered himself to play Bane in the DCEU. Possessing a mix of brute strength and exceptional intelligence, Bane is an iconic Batman villain that first made his comic book debut in 1993. Credited as being the only villain to have “broken the bat” both physically and mentally, Bane has been adapted for the screen on multiple occasions. He first appeared on the big screen in the much-maligned Batman & Robin before being attempted a tad more favorably by Tom Hardy in The Dark Knight Rises....
