2018 was a great year for women in film. There were dozens of movies that featured women as leads or co-leads, and, in fact, movies with female leads did better than movies with male leads at the box office. If you’re looking to make sure you’ve seen all of the best movies with female leads from 2018, we’ve got you covered. While there were many powerful and well-made indie films that featured women, too, we’ve collected a list of all of the blockbuster films that featured female leads in 2018....

Harry Potter had some of the most insane world-building that any franchise ever had, and with it came an enchanting magic system. It’s hard to pinpoint how J.K. Rowling did it exactly. The magic is so complex and intense but it was somehow easy to follow, with the rules introduced as we went along with the series. But there seemed to be some strange limits to the magic, to be honest....

Netflix has unveiled the first full Altered Carbon season 2 trailer alongside a foreboding new poster. In the world of this inventive sci-fi series, consciousness can be swapped and uploaded to different bodies (called sleeves), which can be used to disappear, find a new life, or even cheat death. That last one is an exclusive privilege of the mega-rich, who can even live forever in the same series of designer sleeves....

It’s no secret that Siri is far behind its competition in the digital assistant space, and this continues with Apple’s new product, HomePod, which features Siri at the core of the experience. For example, saying “Alexa, good morning” could trigger a specific playlist, album or song, in addition to other automations such as starting your coffee machine, or rolling up your blinds. As it currently stands, HomePod has no form of audio automation whatsoever, down to the fact that it is unable to play a custom sound when your alarm goes off....

Sigourney Weaver surprised the high school cast of the play based on Alien. With less than a month to go before the date arrives marking exactly 40 years since the initial US release of Alien, some fans are going that extra mile to deliver something befitting of the iconic sci-fi/horror film. As celebrations continue all over the world, including special screenings of the film, artwork, and even a handful of professional quality short films from amateur filmmakers, it’s safe to say that 2019 has so far brought Alien back into the public consciousness....

The Alita: Battle Angel cast is stacked with award-winning and fan-favorite sci-fi genre actors. Produced by James Cameron and directed by Robert Rodriguez, Alita: Battle Angel adapts Yukito Kishiro’s beloved manga Battle Angel: Alita for the big screen. James Cameron had been developing Alita: Battle Angel since 2000 and the screenplay is by Cameron and Laeta Kalogridis, adapting a portion of Kishiro’s manga. Though Rodriguez took on the challenge of directing this massive production, the true magic of Alita: Battle Angel was achieved by Weta Digital’s VFX team....

Update: Nope: It looks like this is just an iPad Mini digitizer as pointed out by nowhereelse.fr. We’ve already seen more than a few alleged iPad 5 parts pop up online. Most rumors, including images of the device’s front glass from April, and the shots of the device’s back cover we posted in January, would seem to indicate that Apple is heading for the obvious– a redesigned full-sized iPad that borrows many of the characteristics of the slimmer, smaller bezel iPad mini....

An adaptation for The Dark Tower was in the works for many years, with Ron Howard initially working on a cross-platform saga that would have seen the adventure told on both the big and small screens. The project ultimately didn’t come to pass, with Howard stepping back to serve merely as a producer on a solo film outing. Directed by Nikolaj Arcel (2009’s Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), the eventual film adaptation starred Idris Elba as Roland and Matthew McConaughey as his nemesis....

Quentin Tarantino’s movies are acclaimed for their use of music. Actually, they’re acclaimed for a lot of things, but their use of music is one of them. Tarantino uses many well-worn filmmaking techniques, and often frames his scenes in the way that an iconic director like Francois Truffaut or Jean-Luc Godard might frame them, but he rarely uses original musical compositions to play over the scenes. Instead, he will use a meticulously chosen pop song from his own personal record collection to pair perfectly with the feel of the scene....

It’s quite clear that The Boys is attempting to make a withering commentary on how homophobia has no place in society, but how the comic goes about this has provoked much debate over the years. While looking into the aforementioned case, Butcher liberally uses derogatory slurs such as “poof” and “bender” and Hughie chastises him for doing so. When their investigation leads to a gay bar, however, Hughie expresses discomfort at stepping inside, admitting he gets “a bit freaked out by what they do....

Amber Heard, ex-wife of Johnny Depp, responds to the controversy surrounding Depp’s role in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Last year, Warner Bros. kicked off a Harry Potter prequel film series with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. From director David Yates and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, the movie introduced fans to a new group of magical heroes, as well as the villain they’d be battling over the five-film Fantastic Beasts series....

This week we got our latest look at Ridley Scott’s highly anticipated follow-up to Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, in a brand new trailer that showed protagonist Daniels (Katherine Waterston) and the crew of the colony ship Covenant landing on the Engineers’ home world, where Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and the then-headless android David (Michael Fassbender) had arrived ten years prior. The crew of Shaw and David’s last ship, the USCSS Prometheus, was completely wiped out in the previous movie, but fortunately for the xenomorphs waiting on the planet down below, the Covenant is bringing plenty of new victims to play with - more than 2000 people, to be exact....

Fans of the 2019 cyberpunk film Alita: Battle Angel, took their demand for a sequel to Twitter and got #AlitaSequel trending on the social media site. The film’s recent release on HBO may have helped reignite the loyal fanbase, who had previously created a petition for a sequel in October 2019. Alita: Battle Angel is based on a 1990 manga called Battle Angel Alita by Yukito Kishiro. The film is about a cyborg woman who embarks on a quest to recover her lost memory in a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk future....

Amanda Seyfried reveals she turned down the chance to play Gamora in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starting with Guardians of the Galaxy. The actress has been starring in movies and television shows for years, breaking out as the ditzy Karen Smith in Mean Girls and playing a key part in Veronica Mars, but it’s interesting to think of how different things would have been if Seyfried accepted the offer. The franchise that began with Iron Man has changed the course of moviegoing in the last 11 years, revitalizing comic book adaptations across several mediums and adding up to billions of dollars at the box office....

- In October, many changes were announced behind the scenes of the neo-noir drama. Travis Beacham, who wrote the script on which the show is based, exited over what was reported to be creative differences. Marc Guggenheim, who was the showrunner for season 1, stepped back from the role due to his close involvement in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event. Guggenheim was replaced by Erik Oleson, who had previously worked on Daredevil and The Man in the High Castle....

Now that the movie formerly known as Prometheus 2 is officially part of the Alien franchise, under the title Alien: Covenant, it has a different set of expectations to live up to. While Prometheus was a prequel to the Alien series in a looser sense, Alien: Covenant will have to satisfy Alien fans in a way that Prometheus did not. For one thing, it must have xenomorphs, and luckily that box has already been checked by director Ridley Scott, who assures fans the characters in the upcoming installment will “come across the evolving creature” made by the engineers....
