As a result, there are some surprising crossover locations between different iconic shows....

Welcome back, True Believers! Last week’sAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.episode saw the return ofPatton Oswalt’s Agent Koenig and with it, a much needed boost to the fourth season overall after the loss of Ghost Rider. Luckily, “Boom” manages to take some of that goodwill from the previous installment and apply it here, even if Koenig is nowhere to be found. “Boom” finds the team dealing with a new threat incorporated into the Watchdog pack in the form of the recurring character, Tucker Shockley, who is now gaining abilities thanks to an unexpected reaction to Terrigen Crystals that Radcliffe had kept on hand during his time as Hive’s second in command....

Once an AirTag is set up, it uses Bluetooth technology to ping its location to nearby Apple devices, updating its position on the owner’s Find My app. If an item goes missing, Precision Finding can help iPhone users with the necessary hardware to find their AirTag with guided directions....

Arnold Schwarzeneggerhas blown up robots, crushed skulls in the jungle, and fought off apocalyptic future threats. But none of those action-packed roles netted him a bigger payday thanTwins— the 1988 buddy comedy with a42% Rotten Tomatoes scorethat became, surprisingly, the most financially rewarding film of his legendary career. In a recent appearance onWatch What Happens LivewithAndy Cohen, theTerminatoricon shocked viewers by revealing thatTwinsearned him “more than $40 million” thanks to one very unconventional deal made with co-starDanny DeVitoand directorIvan Reitman....

In the words of my sainted, late grandmother: What in the damn-hell took you so long? Duringa conversation with Deadlineabout this weekend’s domestic release ofCaptain America: Civil War,Kevin Feigesaid that Marvel Studios is “creatively and emotionally” committed to a solo movie featuringBlack Widow, AKA Natascha Romanoff. The character, portrayed in some half-dozen MCU titles byScarlett Johanssen, has been at the center of great controversy over the last few years, as the only reason that the character hasn’t garnered a solo movie has been that she’s a she....

Chris Prattis going from guardian to mentor, as he’s set to produce and star in the karate-themed indie comedyThe Black Belt. Monarch Media is behind the coming-of-age film, which follows a shy, unassuming teen on a quest to become a karate expert, and the unorthodox uncle who guides him along the way. I assume Pratt will be playing the wacky uncle, which to be honest, sounds like a fun role for him....

We’re now nearly 17 years into the 21st century, and the cinematic landscape has changed drastically since the year 2000. The highest grossing movie of that year wasHow the Grinch Stole Christmas, followed byCast Away—a lengthy drama starringTom Hankswith minimal dialogue. Indeed, in the entire box office Top 10 of 2000 there’s only one superhero movie and one sequel—the rest are dramas, comedies, and original stories. Contrast that with 2016 where only three of the Top 10 were original stories, four were superhero movies, and the highest grossing film of the year was aStar Warsprequel....

When I hit the end of 2019’sEscape Room, I wanted a sequel now, now, now. Not only did directorAdam Robitelcraft some exceptionally tense set pieces while bringing the escape room concept to screen, but he also started building the foundation of a fascinating evil operation via Minos Escape Rooms. That essentially left him with many promising routes to pursue in a sequel. You could opt for the anthology format and show us a new series of rooms with entirely different players, or you could go with what Robitel and co....

Furious 7is one of my favorite entries of theFast and Furiousfranchise. It’s packed to the brim with especially well executed thrills and also rocks one of the most powerful doses of family in the series. But on top of that, directorJames Wanand co. had to meet a devastating challenge, addressing the passing of starPaul Walker. I’ve seenFurious 7quite a few times at this point, but that ending both brings me to tears and fills my heart every single time....

Star WarsandStar Trekare easilythe twomost influential science fiction properties of all time,and both have extremely dedicated fan bases that have devoted a significant amount of time to immersing themselves in the respective universes. Although there is an old cliche thatthe two fan bases have a feud with one another,that could not be further from the truth; there have actually been many collaborators that have worked on both franchises, including Industrial Lights & Magic and directorJ....

Netflix isn’t only in the business of churning out original content. They’re using the platform to resurrect series from the past, series such asFull House,Voltron, andGilmore Girls. News about the return of the latter made Stars Hollow citizen wannabes sigh with content. The series stretched over seven seasons and introduced a host of peculiar but delightful personalities, most of whom called the small town of Stars Hollow home. Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel) were the pillars holding up the story, but they were supported by memorable family and friends....
