Dumbledore is one of the most well-known and also controversial figures in Harry Potter. While he started off as a benevolent mentor figure to Harry who likely had a few secrets, he turned out to be a person who used and manipulated Harry to try and help save the world. We also learned of Dumbledore’s past with Grindelwald and his troubling past when it comes to Muggles, making it harder for many fans who like Dumbledore to defend him....

The main point of Captain America: Civil War may be to advance the overarching story of the Avengers, using Captain America (Chris Evans) as the personal focus, but it’s the film’s secondary function that has had fans talking the most since its debut two weekends ago: how it sets up all the myriad plot threads that will be raging across Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (which started this month with Civil War and which ends with the currently-titled The Avengers: Infinity War, Part II in May 2019)....

High Flying Bird doesn’t quite manage to change ’the game’ but, under Soderbergh and McCraney’s guidance, it certainly makes an entertaining go at it. One-man army director Steven Soderbergh’s never been particularly interested in playing by the rules. He helped revolutionize independent film in the early ’90s with sex, lies, and videotape, and for years after oscillated from commercial studio fare to experimental offerings (some successful, others not). Recently, following his - very - brief retirement, Soderbergh’s turned to shooting films on an iPhone 7, starting with his psycho-thriller Unsane....

Zac Efron began acting at a young age, but it wasn’t until he starred in the Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical that audiences sat up and took notice. That movie set him on the path to becoming a household name. Over a decade later, he’s got dozens more roles under his belt and a large variety of fictional characters just begging to have a turn with the Hogwarts sorting hat....

The 2014 version of Thanos knows who the Avengers are in Avengers: Endgame, but how could he? A clash between the Mad Titan and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes has been building in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the end of The Avengers, when Thanos first made an appearance. It wasn’t until last year’s Avengers: Infinity War that this fight really began, and audiences were ultimately shocked that Thanos come out victorious....

Fans of the popular action-adventure property Hitman, from video game developer IO Interactive and publisher Square Enix, are no doubt well aware of the impending release of the new episodic series that will serve as the sixth installment in the franchise proper. After the release of an initial batch of beta content, which is set to feature a prologue story detailing protagonist Agent 47’s rise within the International Contract Agency as a gun for hire, players can expect to see six more episodic installments....

UPDATE 11/17: Apple has delayed HomePod into 2018. With the launch of the Apple Watch Series 3 and iPhone X behind us, there’s still one more new Apple product on my shopping list this year: HomePod. Apple previewed its new smart speaker back in June at WWDC, and now it’s almost time for HomePod to hit the market. Here’s what we know about HomePod so far: What is HomePod? HomePod is the first Apple-designed music speaker since the iPod Hi-Fi (which shipped in 2007 and was discontinued a year later)....

Castlevania fans were blindsided with the news that the classic video game franchise would be returning to mainstream attention with a series from Netflix. First spotted in a list of productions coming thoughout the year from the streaming giant, the project was later officially confirmed by producer Adi Shankar. Said to be R-rated, dark and satirical, the animated show demonstrates not only more experimentation from Netflix as distributors, but, more importantly, it presents a chance for Castlevania to live up to its own prestige after years of mediocrity and stagnation....

Hereditary is one of the most universally acclaimed and beloved horror movies ever made. It is one of those rare works that actually show everything that horror movies are capable of being, and it certainly raised the bar for any horror flicks that come after it. But given how much work writer/director Ari Aster put into making the film the best it could be, it’s really no surprise that the results were so spectacular....

So much of Apple’s history is tied up between two periods: Pre-iPod and Post-iPod. The iPod took Apple from a computer company, and it set them up to become a consumer electronics company that would go on to become one of the most valuable companies in the world. What most people forget is that the iPod didn’t become the iPod until the iPod mini was released. The original iPod was $399, where the iPod mini had a lower price of $249....

Season 4’s Reinvention Turned Agents of SHIELD Into A New Show The last two seasons have actually seen Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. benefit from two major strategic decisions. The first was ABC’s decision to move the series to a later timeslot, which allowed S.H.I.E.L.D. to take a much darker, more violent tone. It’s true that S.H.I.E.L.D. occasionally veered towards the gratuitous the first episode of Season 4 kicked off with Daisy getting dressed but in general, the show has handled this more mature approach well....

A TikTok video of an American embracing the UK pub chain Wetherspoons has gone viral. TikTok is known for creating viral content, although most of the time the content tends to remain within the TikTok community. This time, the video has gone viral thanks to the help of other social media platforms. Namely, Twitter. In the UK, Wetherspoons is a very familiar site considering the ‘pub with food’ can be found in most cities throughout the country....

The late Earl Hindman played Tim Taylor’s down to earth, yet mysterious next-door neighbor Wilson for many years on the popular sitcom Home Improvement. This sagacious and scholarly individual had enough advice to last three lifetimes, which was a big help to Taylor and his family. In many respects, Wilson was the kind of neighbor everyone wished they could move next door to. As much as Tim struggled (with hilarious effect) to understand Wilson’s many important lessons and words of wisdom, he still valued his wisdom....

Controlling window shades and blinds with HomeKit and Siri is easily one of the coolest smart home experiences possible today, but it’s also one of the most expensive. Eve is expanding its line of dedicated HomeKit products to include a new partnership with Coulisse that just might solve that problem. Coulisse is a company dedicated to providing window covers from blinds and shades to curtains and more since 1992. Since Eve spun out of Elgato in 2018, the smart home product maker has focused entirely on creating HomeKit experiences....

My family has never used overhead lights unless we have company over. We prefer natural light and lamps. A few years ago, I swapped out all of our bulbs to LED light bulbs, and I invested in HomeKit compatible outlet switches as a way to control them from the Home app, HomePod with Siri, and HomeKit automations. As part of my outdoor lighting project I did earlier this year, I invested in a Philips Hue Hub with the Hue outdoor floodlights....

When the CW decided to expand their superhero offerings, creating their Arrowverse of shows (and some epic crossovers), the second series introduced was The Flash. Barry Allen is the fastest man alive, and he uses that gift to save his city — and sometimes the world — every week. The idea of a metahuman in The Flash is a little different than the idea of a wizard, but both types of fictional beings have abilities that we might call a little magical....

Huawei today unveiled its latest smartphone at an event in Beijing and naturally the company named the follow up to its previous generation Honor 6 device, the Honor 6 Plus. Creative. Apart from the name there aren’t many other similarities between the Android-powered Honor 6 Plus and Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus. That is, however, other than the same size 5.5-inch display and the exact same color options (as pictured above). The previous generation Honor 6 sported a 5-inch display....
