As previously-announced, Disney+ is now more expensive – and there’s a new ad-supported tier users can select. This comes following a price increase for Apple TV+, as well as the launch of an ad-supported tier for Netflix … which still isn’t available to Apple TV users. Disney first announced its plans to shake up the Disney+ offering back in August. The company hopes that a new ad-supported tier and higher prices for the ad-free tier will significantly help boost the profitability of Disney+....

There is the thinking that the key to longevity in the entertainment business is to constantly reinvent yourself. Clearly the brain trust at Marvel Studios buys into this philosophy, as their library of movies continues to diversify with every year. They have accomplished this by complimenting their superhero adventures with various sub-genres to make each film feel familiar, yet fresh. Perhaps, just as importantly, they began releasing two movies a year....

Just how long was Doctor Strange in the Dark Dimension? Screenwriter C. Robert Cargill has revealed it may have been a lot longer than anyone thought. The climax of Doctor Strange was unlike any other Marvel movie to date. Rather than outfight the Dread Dormammu, Strange outthought him. He dove into Dormammu’s realm, and used the power of the Time Stone to establish a time loop. Dormammu found himself trapped in time, killing Strange again and again, locked in an unending cycle - and increasingly frustrated by it....

Apple’s MacBook Air is a fantastic college computer So here’s the thing with the MacBook Air – Apple currently sells two models. There’s the M1 from 2020 and the M2 releasing on July 15. Either is a great option for most students. If you’re concerned with whether you should get the M1 model or M2 model, you should check out my colleague’s guide on the subject. With that aside, the MacBook Air offers a slim design that’s comfortable to carry around all day....

ABC has handed out a pilot production commitment for a new reboot of the iconic 1960s series Bewitched, which hails from Black-ish creator Kenya Barris. This continues the small-screen trend of rebooting and/or reviving shows from various TV eras, with CBS debuting their Murphy Brown revival and Magnum P.I. reboot, not to mention The CW rebooting Charmed, just this fall alone. Since there doesn’t seem to be an end to these reboots in sight, ABC is digging deep into its catalog once again....

Marvel’s Black Panther is now in theaters after spending more than two decades stuck in development hell, and it seems the wait was well worth it considering Black Panther is now the highest-rated superhero film on Rotten Tomatoes, with a critic score of 98 percent. The film comes from Creed director Ryan Coogler and screenwriter Joe Robert Cole, with Get On Up’s Chadwick Boseman playing the iconic Wakandan protector, T’Challa, aka Black Panther....

Every week we put together an informal list of box office picks for the upcoming weekend to offer readers a rough estimate of how new releases (and returning holdovers) will perform in theaters.

Beloved B-movie actor/director Bruce Campbell, best known to horror fans everywhere as Ash Williams, has officially announced his retirement from the role that made him an icon. This comes in the wake of the cancellation of the Starz series Ash Vs. Evil Dead after three seasons. Campbell began acting as a teenager, making movies with his friends with an old Super 8 camera. One of these friends was Sam Raimi, who Campbell would continue to work with for the rest of their careers....

At San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, Bumblebee writer Christina Hodson gave her reasons for the Transformers spinoff’s 1980s setting. It has a narrative purpose, sure, considering it’s depicting the early adventures of the yellow Autobot before the rest of his team arrived, but Hodson also had some additional reasons for choosing that era. Bumblebee takes place in 1987. This puts its events 20 years before director Michael Bay’s first live-action film....

Marvel Studios’ next movie could be one of their biggest as Captain Marvel is projected to have a $160 million opening weekend domestically. The twenty-first entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is set to be their first female led movie, and Brie Larson could lead the film to giant box office success before she leads the MCU as a whole. Although Carol Danvers has yet to appear in any MCU film, she has already been positioned as a savior for the entire universe....

After cursing on stage at a recent comic convention, Captain America actor Chris Evans reprimanded himself in true Cap fashion. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America, aka Steve Rogers, is a man originally from the 1940s when people did not curse in public and superheroes did their best to set an example for kids. Evans first stepped into the role for Captain America: The First Avenger, although news of his casting had some Marvel fans shaking their heads, especially considering his role as the Human Torch in Fantastic Four....

Samsung today unveiled the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic, its partnership with Google to create an all-new Wear OS experience and finally introduce a competitor to the Apple Watch. Although it’s just a first step of hopeful years of collaboration, there are multiple ways in which Apple still appears to be at the top – but Samsung is gaining. Before Apple announced the Apple Watch in 2015, Samsung and other Android makers had their vision of a smartwatch future, and none ended up being as successful as the Apple Watch is....

Daredevil season 2 is just moments away from being released on Netflix following a massively successful first season and while British actor Charlie Cox returns as protagonist Matt Murdock, lawyer by day and vigilante by night, the sophomore season places much focus in introducing key new characters from Marvel Comics. Jon Bernthal joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe playing fan-fave antihero Frank Castle a.k.a. Punisher, and Elodie Yung also joins in as assassin and love interest Elektra....

Daredevil star Amy Rutberg talks about what could’ve been Marci and Foggy (Elden Henson) in the show’ s supposed future after they pulled a shotgun engagement last season. The Marvel TV/Netflix collaboration was canceled just after three seasons, following the streaming giant’s earlier decision to pull the plug on Iron Fist and Luke Cage. The cancelation of Daredevil, however, is more controversial than other Marvel TV properties. The Charlie Cox-led show was arguably the most well-received among its peers, with its third season lauded by both critics and fans....

Alongside the release of macOS Monterey today, the award-winning photo and video editor Darkroom is getting updated to version 5.7 with some new features for the latest version of macOS. With macOS Monterey release, Darkroom is ready to support Shortcuts on the Mac.

Deadpool 2 has finally crossed the $300 million dollar mark at the domestic box office thanks to older adult moviegoers. It is only the fifth film with an R-rating to achieve that feat. The original Deadpool movie also holds one of these spots. Deadpool 2 released last month and profited $125 million dollars over its opening weekend. That opening, however, was slightly lower than its predecessor’s as the original Deadpool opened with $132 million on Valentine’s Day weekend in 2016....

Before the Destiny 2 Prestige Leviathan raid goes live, all the rewards for finishing the mode have been revealed - so as to give players a little more motivation in tackling the upgraded level. A couple of weeks after the sequel’s release on major consoles like Xbox One and PlayStation 4, some fans of the online-only multiplayer first-person shooter video game may already be looking to up the stakes and challenges....

Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that a limited spinoff series based on the MCU’s Loki is officially in development for the company’s upcoming streaming service, Disney Plus. The studio’s new streaming service has been hard at work developing original content for its official release next year, with a lineup that includes characters like Scarlet Witch, Winter Soldier, and Falcon. Considering Loki and Scarlet Witch’s apparent deaths in Avengers: Infinity War earlier this year, it was left uncertain whether or not either of their respective limited series’ would take place before or after the current run of the MCU....

Below, the newest roguelike adventure game from Capybara Games, is an experience that tries to be subversive and interesting by leaning into its brazen difficulty. Instead of achieving this admittedly noble goal, Below instead only succeeds at being an unforgiving and inaccessible mess of a game, one that will not endear itself to casual gamers or those who want a breezy action game with clear goals toward achieving in-game success. That’s not to say there aren’t aspects of Below that don’t work, of course....

Free Fire and High-Rise director Ben Wheatley is currently working on a “big Marvel film,” according to popular British comedian Bob Mortimer. Wheatley has been a rising star in indie circles, garnering praise for his twisted sense of humor and talent for suspense, so it was perhaps only a matter of time before he landed a big-budget project. Recent years have seen studios picking up buzzed-about indie directors left and right, with Colin Trevorrow hired for Jurassic World following his feature debut Safety Not Guaranteed, What We Do in the Shadows director Taika Waititi landing Thor: Ragnarok, and Jon Watts directing Spider-Man: Homecoming as his third feature film, after Sundance selection Cop Car and low-budget horror Clown....
