Alien: Blackout could be the title of the next game in the Alien franchise given Fox’s recent trademark of the title. The Alien series began in 1979 when Ridley Scott released the Oscar-winning horror classic. Since then, fans have gotten several Alien sequels, crossovers with the Predator, and an abundance of video games. The first Alien video game was released in 1982 for the Atari 2600. The title was basically just a maze game based on the movie, but since then fans have gotten dozens of Alien games spanning across several years and platforms....

The team behind Alita: Battle Angel discuss Ed Skrein’s transformation into Zapan in a behind the scenes clip from the live-action film. Adapted from Yukito Kishiro’s manga series Battle Angel Alita (which ran from 1990-95), Alita was originally envisioned as being a directorial vehicle for James Cameron back in the early 2000s. However, following the success of Avatar, Cameron ultimately handed the project off to Robert Rodriguez, allowing him to focus all of his attention on his upcoming sequels to that movie instead....

Alita Battle Angel director Robert Rodriguez has explained the logic behind the live-action film’s ‘photo-realistic’ version of oversized manga eyes. Battle Angel has been a pet project for producer James Cameron for nearly twenty years, and like Avatar he waited until the technology was right to pull off his vision. Battle Angel is based on the manga of the same name and is set in a post-apocalyptic future, where a cyborg named Alita is found on a scrap heap and struggles to remember her past....

Last year’s entries in the highly popular Pokémon franchise, Pokémon Sword and Shield, took an interesting new approach to the original tradition of the games. Although there have been conflicting views from fans, the games have received largely positive reviews for certain features. These include the exciting new gym battle system and its innovative graphics. Since the gameplay of these games differs considerably from the previous entries in the franchise, there are certain aspects new players need to familiarize themselves with....

Whether you like his work or not, there’s no denying that when you watch a Quentin Tarantino movie, you know you’re watching a Quentin Tarantino movie. One of the ways that Tarantino has managed to create so many movies that ooze his signature filmmaking style, yet somehow also feel unique, is opening each movie with the perfect shot to begin that story. If he immerses us into that movie’s world immediately with a brilliant opening shot, then we’re hooked for the rest of the movie, whether its runtime is 99 minutes (Reservoir Dogs) or 187 minutes (the roadshow cut of The Hateful Eight)....

Vanderpump Rules is currently on its eighth season, and it’s been a wild ride since the series began in 2013. Over the past seven years, the cast members have dated each other, cheated on each other, and much more. While every fan of the show has their favorite moments and cast members, there are overall some seasons that are better than others. While the show started out rather fascinating, it took it a while to hit its stride, and, like many long-running reality television series, it’s struggling to continue with the same momentum as earlier seasons....

What it does is allow your devices to connect to your neighbor’s Wi-Fi, and to allow your neighbor’s devices to connect to yours – all without exchanging passwords. All the same, I’d echo the ArsTechnica cautionary note. Information customers would deem sensitive, like the contents of a packet sent over the Sidewalk network, is not seen by Sidewalk; only the intended destinations (the endpoint and application server) possess the keys required to access this information....

Good Evening. Besides Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone, there was one other profoundly clever anthology hit starring a charismatic host. The Master of Suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock decided to bring his wry, dark humor to television. However, the stories themselves were generally pretty stark, frequently dealing in murder, suicide, rape, and other crimes. They were small slices of sharply written suspense, rather than Serling’s sci-fi meditations on morality. Although, they did incorporate a witty sense of irony, great performances, and clever twists....

As a pioneer of many of the revolutionary filmmaking techniques that today’s moviegoers take for granted and the gold standard for directing suspenseful sequences that grip the audience, Alfred Hitchcock is one of the most legendary directors who ever put his stamp on Hollywood. He’s responsible for more timeless, virtually flawless classics than can be counted on two hands, and he’s influenced every great director who followed him, from Martin Scorsese to Brian De Palma, Steven Spielberg to Quentin Tarantino, and every great director who followed them....
