There’s been a lot of speculation about a possible iPhone 16 Ultra coming out this year when the16 series launches. So far we haven’t heard anything official from Apple and we haven’t really seen much in the way of leaks from suppliers.

Christmas has come early, at least for some folks who like what they see in the first trailer forThe Man Who Invented Christmas. However, despite the fact that Bleecker Street rolled outChristopher Plummer(who plays Scrooge in this film and turns 88 this December) to smooth over any resistance to this trailer, there will be those who say “Humbug” to this take onCharles Dickens'“A Christmas Carol.” I’m … weirdly in the middle of this divide....

Maydayis a bit hard to describe, but Cinorre likens it to “a modernWizard of Ozabout a young woman who’s trying to find her voice.” She elaborated further, explaining where the inspiration for the film originated. “It came partly out of my obsession, as a girl, withThe Wizard of Oz, I think, and always wanting to kind of make a better one....
Tim Burtonis returning to the creepy, perverse world of everybody’s favorite bioexorcist withBeetlejuice Beetlejuice, which hits theaters this weekend. The original 1988 film,Beetlejuice, is a zany horror-comedy classic, with a knockout performance fromMichael Keatonin the titular role. Keaton gives a fearlessly gross, weird, and iconic performance that has left a major impact on audiences, but he’s not the only one doing some of his best work in this movie.Catherine O’Haraportrays Delia Deetz, the matriarch of the Deetzes, the family that moves into a home occupied by the spirits of Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara Maitland (Geena Davis)....
Not a lot of actors get to portray serial killers during their careers (unless you’reAnthony HopkinsorEvan Peters, of course). But Emmy-nomineeMichael Sheenplayed his most deliciously evil role in FOX’s gone-too-soon series,Prodigal Son. As Martin Whitly, Sheen played a former doctor who had earned the nickname, The Surgeon, after he was found guilty of killing 23 people. Instead of serving his sentence in prison,he was relegated to a psychiatric institute where he was free to continue his nefarious mind gameswith everyone he came in contact with....
Warning: This interview contains light spoilers for Episode 5 of ‘Doom Patrol’ Season 3, “Dada Patrol.” Doom Patrolis back for a third season and shows no signs of slowing down on its gloriously bonkers storytelling — but the motley members of the Doom Patrol have another person joining their ranks now that the show has returned. A mysterious woman (Michelle Gomez) arrived in town via time machine at the end of the Season 3 premiere, with no memory of who she is or what her purpose might be....

Back whenThe Martianwas prepping for itshome video release, I had a chance to chat with the novel’s author,Andy Weir. At the time, he had been working on his follow-up novel, some Hollywood screenplays, and a TV series pitch. Weir had actually back-burnered a book project by the name of “Zhek” in order to work on a new story “about a city on the moon” that was “going to be another technically accurate sci-fi story....
Surprising no one, both DreamWorks/Warner Bros.‘Ready Player Oneand Disney/Marvel’sBlack Pantherare getting PG-13 ratings. What’s more interesting here is exactly why each movie got the rating that it did.Steven Spielberg’s adaptation ofErnest Cline’s novel is going to be an interesting one, not just because there are so many licensed brands to wrangle in the nostalgia-fueled film but because Cline worked some pretty mature subject material into his story that probably won’t make it onto the screen....

Francis Ford Coppolais one of the most important filmmakers of all-time, as classics likeThe Godfather, The Godfather: Part II, The Conversation,Bram Stoker’s Dracula,andRumble Fishare often cited when discussingthe greatest films ever made. Although Coppola’s catalog of classics have certainly inspired multiple generations of young and aspiring filmmakers, his work has also had a significant influence on the development of modern television. Many of the best television shows ever made have drawn from the storytelling techniques that Coppola invented throughout his career, as they still offer insight on how to make something feel cinematic; ironically, some of today’s best dramatic stories are being told on television, and“prestige television” as it exists todaywould likely not exist without what Coppola did....
