PlayStation 5 has been available for several years now, and it’s easier than ever to find it in stock at retailers. The new-gen hardware makes big upgrades over its predecessor, letting gamers enjoy better graphics, shorter loading times, and support for the fancy DualSense controller. It’s also much more expensive than PS4, so while PS5 is better than PS4 in most regards, it might not be ideal for frugal shoppers. But is PS4 or PS5 the better choice in 2024? Does the aging PS4 really make sense to purchase right…

The Marvel fandom is a funny thing. At the exact same time that Madame Web making mere pennies at the box office is used as more kindling for the “superhero fatigue” fire, folks are getting excited for the future of the MCU again for numerous reasons.

Don’t get too excited, but it’s claimed that Henry Cavill has signed on for top-secret role with…

There have been countless books about Hollywood, but few come from inside the machine. The director Ed Zwick – who made Legends of the Fall, Glory and The Last Samurai, among other films – has written a fantastically entertaining memoir that shows the movie business in high definition. It is part how-to guide, peppered with frank lists that crunch hard-won advice into easily digestible bites, and will be useful for young film-makers – but the layperson will inhale it for the gossip and what it reveals about the frankly…

By Jake Coyle | Associated Press NEW YORK — Apple has had its first box office flop. “Argylle,” the $200-million star-studded spy thriller from Apple Studios, debuted with $18 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday. The film, directed by Matthew Vaughn, managed to lead the weekend box office, but still found little interest from moviegoers.

It’s been a long time since virtually anyone in the elite of right-wing media, the national Republican Party, or conservative grassroots leadership has thought Ron DeSantis wasn’t going to be a loser. But Iowa was the 2024 state that was supposed to be his biggest gimme. On Monday night, even that fantasy came crashing down. Trump dominated Iowa, so much so that the Associated Press called the race barely 30 minutes after caucuses began. Entrance polls showed Trump  30 points ahead of DeSantis and Nikki Haley, who…

Sweat, heavy breathing, warm temperatures and lots of people — the gym is the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive in, which is why wiping equipment down is a normal part of gym etiquette. But does a quick wipe really eliminate all those germs? CBC's Marketplace swabbed equipment at several popular national gym chains to find out which surface harbours the most bacteria. With training and supplies from an accredited laboratory in Mississauga, Ont., Marketplace visited some of the largest for-profit gym chains: three…

Pfizer noted that it will release data on a once-daily version of…

After an historic record-breaking box office run, but for all the wrong reasons, The Marvels is facing the comparison that every Marvel movie fears: it’s getting likened to Morbius. In fact, with a 79% drop-off in earnings from its opening weekend to its second in theaters, The Marvels actually suffered a bigger weekend 2 loss than even Morbius did, which plummeted by the slightly less 74% over the same period. To be entirely fair to Nia DaCosta’s sequel — which, in this writer’s opinion is actually a ton of fun and…
