Elvis really is a marvel in spectacle and indulgence—plus a breakout for star Austin Butler who is so superb as the titular character that Luhrmann more than once slips in footage of the real Elvis’ 1950s rock star career, as well as clips from his ill-advised detour in 1960s Hollywood… and few viewers ever seemed to notice! For all intents and purposes, Presley and Butler became interchangeable onscreen: the singer and the actor, merged as one....

For those who may not know, Fortnite‘s gameplay has long been defined by the ability to collect resources and use them to build massive defensive structures that also allow them to cover great distances. It’s hard to remember now, but there was a time when many people saw Fortnite: Save the World’s battle royale spin-off as a shameless attempt to cash in on an emerging trend. While the game’s cartoonish graphics and faster-paced combat certainly helped set it apart from something like PUBG, it was ultimately that building system that separated Fortnite from a considerable pack of contenders....

No, I’m not describing the news reports surrounding Elon Musk’s Twitter quagmire, but the setup for Glass Onion, which as its full title reminds us is also “A Knives Out Mystery.” Having already played the festival circuit after receiving the greenlight more than a year ago, it’s some kind of serendipity that the movie is only now coming to Netflix. This is not to say writer-director Rian Johnson could predict Musk’s precise folly in decimating a popular social media app in only a handful of months....

I have lost count of the number of times I’ve seen this question asked online on various platforms, so I decided to take the baton in my hands, compile everything you need to know about them, and put them in this handy post. With the advent of technology, cloud storage has been gaining popularity with increasing adoption rates every year. As we know, 2 dominant players in the market are widely used amongst the old and the young alike and for various purposes....

The most common form of marketing is to create videos of your brand and run that frequently on mass media platforms like TV, Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Twitter Ads, and so on. But that is too costly and gets mixed results. How about targeting a small group with unconventional marketing collaterals that attract the audience, and later, they spread your brand’s name through word-of-mouth marketing? Sounds interesting? For that, you need to learn guerilla marketing and apply that in the right place and at the right time to see maximum return on investment (ROI)....

We are really at the heart of the Big Data phenomenon right now, and companies can no longer ignore the impact of data on their decision-making. As a reminder, the data considered Big Data meet three criteria: velocity, speed, and variety. However, you can’t process Big Data with traditional systems and technologies. It is with a view to overcoming this problem that Apache Software Foundation has proposed the most used solutions, namely Hadoop and Spark....

Series Three dives back into the action around five years after the explosive events of the Series Two finale, beginning with Sergeant Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire) discovering the remains of a gangland murder victim in a drained reservoir, a discovery which will lead her all the way back to her nemesis Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton). Catherine still lives with her grandson Ryan (Rhys Connah) who’s now sixteen and working out what kind of relationship, if any, he wants with Royce, the man who fathered him when he raped Catherine’s daughter Becky....

Though Harlan Coben thrillers generally take place in the same recognisably middle class world of Range Rovers, gated communities and marble kitchen islands, his inter-connected Myron Bolitar series excluded, they’re not set in a shared fictional universe. The plots are standalone and aside from the odd cameo, the characters don’t as a rule cross over from one story to the next. Until now. Netflix’s two Polish Harlan Coben series – 2020’s The Woods and 2022’s Hold Tight, adapted from the 2007 and 2008 novels of the same names – both feature the character of Pawel Kopinski (Grzegorz Damiecki), the lead in The Woods....

In Marvel’s Hawkeye episode three, “Echoes”, we get to know Maya Lopez aka Echo and her right hand man Kazi, who are currently heading up New York’s Tracksuit Mafia for a mysterious crime boss, while the friendship and trust between Kate Bishop and Clint Barton grows. It’s a near-flawless episode of MCU TV that pits Clint’s deep psychological issues and murky past against Kate’s headstrong enthusiasm and kindness, and introduces the character of Echo in a way that slices your sympathies apart with a jagged edge....

King Richard, starring Will Smith, is set to arrive on HBO Max and in theaters on Nov. 19. The movie will tell the story of Richard Williams, the father and coach of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams. Smith is already getting some early awards buzz for the role so Oscar-heads may want to check this one out. Aside from that, it’s a relatively light month for originals on HBO Max....

With just a quick glance at the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe trailer, it becomes quite clear that the series is not only a different take on the franchise, but a ground-up reinvention of the classic story—albeit one that, at the same time, has curated some elements from across its past iterations. While this particular take borrows the exact title of the fabulous-secrets-showing, disco-theme-thumping 1983-1985 animated series from studio Filmation, it also brandishes a technological sci-fi aesthetic that seems reminiscent of the 2002-2004 animated revival of Masters of the Universe from Mike Young Productions....

The new Shudder horror movie Hellbender introduces a new type of movie monster in the form of a witch/demon/apex predator hybrid. But the creation also comes from a surprising place of truth for The Adams, the family of filmmakers who make up Wonder Wheel Productions. In the film, 16-year-old Izzy (played by Zelda Adams) lives in isolation with Mother (Zelda’s real-life mom, Toby Poser) because she has a rare immune disorder....

Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen King Viserys Targaryen, father to Princess Rhaenrya Targaryen and older brother to Prince Daemon Targaryen, is a “warm, kind, and decent man” who wants to do right by his family and carry on his grandfather’s legacy. Actor Paddy Considine, who also starred in the HBO miniseries The Outsider, plays this Targaryen patriarch. Edgar Wright fans may recognize Considine from his roles in Hot Fuzz and The World’s End....

Despite the fact that the cable and streaming giant’s rival Prime Video is releasing its own fantasy epic with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Sept. 2, 2022, HBO is now premiering its resident classic fantasy prequel two weeks earlier. Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is officially set to arrive on Sunday, Aug. 21, HBO announced today. If it feels like this release date news has been a long time coming, that’s probably because it has....

In addition to directing and writing, Carpenter—the son of a music professor—has composed or co-composed the scores for nearly all his films. The filmmaker revealed a natural instinct for music which resulted in classic cues like the theme from Halloween or the lesser-known but still recognizable stingers from Prince of Darkness or The Fog. Although Carpenter has remained involved in filmmaking to some degree—most recently as an executive producer and co-composer on David Gordon Green’s excellent Halloween sequel and the next two installments in the series—he has, in recent years, turned his attention full-time to music....

Nintendo announced Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes during February’s Nintendo Direct, and made it abundantly clear the game would play like the first Fire Emblem Warriors, and that Three Hopes was connected to Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It makes sense: not only are the titles similar, but the announcement video showed the house leaders Dimitri, Edelgard, and Claude devastating enemies in typical musou fashion. The video also introduced a new character, Shez, fighting Three House’s protagonist Byleth....

“[Black Canary was] such an example of when you’re writing something and the character is like, ‘Hello I am present!’ She just continued to persevere through the entire script,” says Justice Society:World War II co-writer Meghan Fitzmartin. She wasn’t alone. “When I saw the movie, the thing that rocked my world was Elysia [Rotaru]’s portrayal of Black Canary,” co-writer Jeremy Adams agrees. “The take that Meghan and Jeremy did with her by making her more of a tough chick from Brooklyn was definitely great, and her character arc with Hawkman was excellent,” says supervising producer Butch Lukic....

“The last one I did, [director Stephen Norrington] was given $85 million to make a movie in Prague, but unfortunately he wasn’t certified before he started because he would have been arrested for insanity,” Connery told an interviewer in 2007. “So, we worked as well as we could, and [I] ended up being heavily involved in the editing and trying to salvage.” It’s a testament to how bad that film was and how successful Connery was, that the actor could just call it quits near the height of his powers and popularity....

Cretton’s approach to Shang-Chi was unconventional. Beyond the obvious Kung Fu movie influences, Cretton was loosely inspired by Good Will Hunting. Cretton felt that the characters of Shang-Chi and Will Hunting (Matt Damon) had a lot of similarities in that they both had big secrets and a lot of emotional baggage. In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Liu even revealed that his initial audition was to read two scenes from Good Will Hunting, which he claimed was one of his favorite movies....
