[This is a review of the Colony season 1 finale. There will be SPOILERS.] - The first season of Colony was an inconsistent attempt at providing viewers with a more “realistic” version of what it would be like if we were ever occupied by aliens, or Hosts, or whatever you want to call them. Even with its inconsistencies, the series provided us with some memorable moments that will perhaps leave you wanting more....
An angled circular display The top surface of the HomePod mini lights up with colorful Siri animations, but it can’t actually display any sort of content or controls. In fact, the HomePod mini has volume controls printed on the surface, which would obstruct any visuals. HomePod mini’s design, however, is a lovely complement to nearly any space. And the vibrant colors introduced last year help add a pop of fun to drab rooms....
Warning: SPOILERS For Creed 2 Ahead Creed 2 star Dolph Lundgren has detailed an ‘emotional’ deleted scene that provided his character Ivan Drago with some redemption. Aside from a small, wordless appearance in the 1985 James Bond movie A View To A Kill, Rocky IV was Lundgren’s first real acting job. Stallone cast the actor for his hulking physique and towering height, and the character quickly became an iconic figure in the franchise....
Creed 2 isn’t just a sequel to Rocky 4; it actually improves and enhances the 1985 film. Rocky 4 holds a special place in the hearts of Rocky fans; though it’s the most cartoonish of the Rocky films thanks to writer-director Sylvester Stallone’s straightforward USA vs USSR “good vs. evil” story, some fans feel Rocky 4 is the best Rocky movie of them all. This is largely due to Rocky Balboa’s rousing and inspirational training sequences set to John Cafferty’s “Hearts on Fire” and the epic fight Rocky wins over Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) in Moscow....
More than six years ago, AMC’s hit series The Walking Dead brought zombies back to life and back into public consciousness, paving the way for other shows in the genre like spinoff Fear the Walking Dead, Z Nation and iZombie. Each of these TV shows examines zombies existing in real life, but they all do it in different ways - from horror to comedy, action and crime drama. The same process is also currently happening with time travel series, too, like 12 Monkeys, Timeless, Frequency and this spring’s Time After Time....
Few games have managed to capture dread as effectively as Failbetter Games’ Fallen London and Sunless Sea. Both titles were darlings within the independent gaming scene, and brought about a level of creeping fear far beyond some of their AAA peers, telling vibrant yet horrifying stories with ease. Although Cultist Simulator may not be a Failbetter title proper, it does comes from alumni of the studio at two-person developer Weather Factory....
CD Projekt Red is setting a lofty goal for the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game with the studio aiming to match its quality with Red Dead Redemption 2. CD Projekt Red CEO Adam Kiciński made the statement in a call earlier this week after being asked what the studio had learned from the release of Red Dead Redemption 2. Cyberpunk 2077 is the massive follow-up to CD Projekt Red’s last critically-acclaimed open world RPG, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt....
Tickets for D23 2019 will go on sale next week, as Disney unveils the first official details of the event. The studio holds the convention every two years, shining a spotlight on their upcoming projects. With all the popular subsidiaries under the Mouse House’s umbrella (Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm), there’s always a great amount of interest.

Many things were changed from the original comics when the Phoenix Saga and Dark Phoenix Saga were adapted into the film Dark Phoenix. This is par for the course whenever a classic written work is adapted for a visual medium and even with an extensive X-Men cinematic universe having been established by earlier movies, there was no way to include every aspect of the original storyline in a single film....
X-Men: Dark Phoenix star Alexandra Shipp - better known as Storm - has nothing but positive words for the forthcoming movie’s director Simon Kinberg and believes that the X-Men world will flourish under his guidance. Fox’s X-Men franchise certainly has its hands full at present. Having scored two huge big screen hits with Deadpool and Logan, the studio is hard at work on Deadpool 2. On the small screen, this year’s Legion was well received by fans and critics and The Gifted recently premiered to positive reviews also....
NOTE: This article contains SPOILERS for Darth Maul #1 - In an entertainment franchise or fictional universe, it’s not easy being anyone but the hero. While their future and fan base is all but guaranteed, the surrounding cast faces their own added challenges. If you’re the villain, you’ve got to match the hero just to get the same attention, let alone be remembered separately. Sidekicks must be plucky and lovable, romantic interests must chart their own course, and so on....

The live-action show is expected to launch in September 2019, and will be the fifth original series to debut on DC Universe. Tigress, Sportsmaster, and Dragon King are all members of the Injustice Society, a criminal collective that was created as a counter to DC’s superhero team the Justice Society of America....
Ryan Reynolds is adding co-writer to his list of credits on Deadpool 2. The Deadpool films have undoubtedly been a labor of love for Reynolds, especially as he tried to right the ship for the character or Wade Wilson and his crime-fighting alter-ego following its underwhelming debut in the critical-and fan-maligned debut in the 2009 X-Men spinoff X-Men Origins: Wolverine. His passion as an actor and producer ultimately paid off big in 2016, when his proper, R-rated version of Deadpool earned $363 million domestically and $420 million internationally for an astounding global take of $783 million....
Mild SPOILERS for Deadpool 2 and Avengers: Infinity War ahead. Deadpool 2 uses Marvel Comics superhero Hawkeye better in a hilarious one-liner than Marvel Studios does in the whole of Avengers: Infinity War. As the marketing for Avengers: Infinity War began to ramp up, fans noticed the absence of one of the original Avengers: Hawkeye. Though he appeared on the Infinity War SDCC poster, he was nowhere to be found in the trailers or further one-sheets released for the film....
Legendary Entertainment has revealed a sneak peek of the artwork the company will use to promote Denis Villeneuve’s Dune at next week’s Licensing Expo with a teaser poster. Villeneuve’s upcoming sci-fi epic is adapted from Frank Herbert’s novel of the same name which centers around a desert planet called Arrakis where warring groups battle over a valuable drug known as spice. Herbert’s novel was previously adapted for the big screen by David Lynch in 1984 and though critics weren’t taken with Lynch’s Dune, the film has since amassed a cult following....
We are less than two months away from the release of the fourteenth installment of the enormously successful Marvel Cinematic Universe (“MCU” for short). Doctor Strange will see the MCU dive head first into the mystic arts, when Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) takes on the role of Stephen Strange. The highly anticipated film also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor (The Martian) as Karl Mordo, Rachel McAdams (Spotlight) as Christine Palmer, and Oscar winner Tilda Swinton (Trainwreck) as the Ancient One....
Some people call Westerns a dead genre, or one that has its best days behind it at the very least. Nothing could be further from the truth, though. A variety of film-makers from across the world still explore the traditions and emotions of the genre to this day. The genre has lived on not just because of its classic status, but also because of its versatility. It can be revised and combined (to great effect) with a number of other distinct genres to form something new....
The Secret Origin of Storm & Black Panther Black Panther has the luxury of already having been introduced in a massive film. What’s more, his first solo film will be quickly followed by more screen time when Thanos and his forces come calling in Avengers 3and make Wakanda a front of the titular Infinity War. As such, by the time Black Panther 2 comes around the door will be wide open for the franchise to head in any direction it chooses....
