via Marvel Studios If there’s two things we’ve gleaned from the Marvel Cinematic Universe‘s most recent blockbuster, it’s that Thor: Love and Thunder has split opinion right down the middle, and the exact same thing can be said of its director Taika Waititi, a far cry from when he first burst onto the scene with the joyous Ragnarok. What worked the first time around isn’t always going to be successful on repeat, though, but fans on Reddit are already beginning to pick apart one of the main thematic driving…

Jordan Peele’s strange, muddled, indigestible new UFO mystery looks like it had a good fairy and a dodgy fairy present at the birth. The good fairy is Steven Spielberg, to whose Close Encounters and Jaws the film pays an overt tribute. The dodgy fairy is M Night Shyamalan, of Signs and The Happening: the sometimes brilliant, sometimes exasperating high-concept showman whose influence is also present – but unacknowledged, un-homaged. It feels like an event movie in the Shyamalan style, all about the prerelease conjecture…

Booking a train ticket on IRCTC is a rite of passage. It's one of India's leading e-commerce destinations, and it's quite a quaint thing, once you really dig into all the pages and get to know the names of the servers.

By Jake Coyle | Associated Press Paul Gallico’s 1958 novel “Mrs. ‘Arris Goes to Paris,” about a British cleaning lady with high couture dreams, wouldn’t seem to have even a stitch of contemporary relevance. Yet Anthony Fabian’s charming adaptation, snuggly tailored to star Lesley Manville, proves the durability of a good fairy tale and a smashing dress. The film, which open in theaters Friday, has added an “H” to the title, in case the cockney accent got lost in translation. But “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris” has not…

The C25 (successor to the C15) gets a significant processor upgrade in the form of the MediaTek Helio G70 (instead the older Helio G35) but at the same time, drops the camera count from four to three.However, despite having more power, the Realme C25 already has a very notable competitor which comes from the manufacturer's own stable, …

via Gage Skidmore Kevin Smith has a new take on the seemingly unending Marvel/Martin Scorsese conflict. In 2019, Scorsese launched one of the biggest contemporary cinematic debates by admitting that he doesn’t watch MCU movies because they’re “not cinema” and are more akin to “theme parks.” After more blowback than even the 60-year filmmaking vet probably could have anticipated, Scorsese clarified his position in a New York Times op-ed, reframing his dislike for the MCU around his frustration for formulaic…

Thor: Love and Thunder is what we’d imagine you’d see if you could live inside the head of director Taika Waititi. To Marvel fans, Waititi is best known for Thor: Ragnarok, 2017's bright, boisterous, hilarious Thor adventure that completely changed the film interpretation of the character. But he also won an Oscar for writing the World War II set Jojo Rabbit and co-created the genre-blending comedies What We Do in the Shadows, as well as Our Flag Means Death, just to name a few. Basically, there’s a lot going on in that…

In prison, you have plenty of time to weigh up what’s truth and what’s bullshit. So whenever I watch a drama about crime and punishment, particularly one set in a jail, my first test is how quickly it takes me back to my spells in UK slammers. The great prison dramas I’ve seen, from Jimmy McGovern’s Time to the new Taron Egerton show Black Bird, instantly give me a feeling of being inside again, as much for the sense of tedium as for the violence and mayhem that sporadically breaks the waste of everybody’s time.
