It seems as though Apple's powerful new tablet, which starts at $799, is a beautifully designed device with new futuristic features like USB-C charging and Face ID, but it's not quite a total replacement for your laptop just yet. Most reviewers noted that the iPad Pro is an incredibly fast and powerful device, but it lacks a few […]
Most of us will get to see Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald when it officially hits theaters on November 16.

In fact, one person even gave Crimes Of Grindelwald a huge vote of confidence in her […]
"It makes the Battle of the Bastards look like a theme park," Peter Dinklage said. HBO is protecting Game of Thrones season eight spoilers with a blockade of fake scripts, decoy endings, and drone-killing guns, but one of the few bits of hype to get through was a description of a huge battle scene that would dwarf the 25-day Battle of the Bastards shoot.

As you know, Netflix is hard at work on a new series based on Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher novels (which, yes, were also turned into a series of Witcher games by the folks at CD Projekt Red). He looks ... well, he looks like The Witcher, alright! As you can see, this is Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, the silver-haired monster hunter with a taste for adventure and bubble baths. The photo itself is […]

The field is crowded with stars in their prime, young guns, and old guys who’ve been waiting decades for their moment.
