Daniel Craig says he would love to make a Knives Out sequel. Talk of a followup to writer/director Rian Johnson’s acclaimed whodunnit was happening as early as September 2019, as the film held its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Johnson expressed interest in making another movie starring Craig as Benoit Blanc, with the renowned private investigator solving a new mystery. Since that time, Knives Out became a breakout box office hit (approaching the $300 million mark worldwide) and racked up numerous accolades during awards season - including an Oscar nomination for Johnson’s original screenplay....

Dawson’s Creek may be a TV show that is part of the coming-of-age genre, but the series really focuses on relationships.

Cable is one of the most famous X-Men characters in history. This recognition is somewhat surprising, given that he’s a relatively new character; he debuted in The Uncanny X-Men #201, which hit the store shelves in 1991. (Nathan Summers, though, debuted in 1986. It’s complicated. For comparison, the X-Men first appeared in 1963. The ‘90s were a risky time for new X-Men characters hoping to stick around; the writers introduced fans to many new members of the team and it’s safe to say that many of these additions crashed and burned....

The Ryan Reynolds fronted Deadpool was the breakout superhero success story of 2016, generating $783.1 million worldwide to become the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time.

This unprecedented success has led to the suggestion that Deadpool could be a serious Oscar contender, despite its deliberate irreverence and some strong, more conventional competition in the form of Damien Chazelle’s acclaimed musical La La Land (and several other dramas)....

CyanogenMod installer supports a long-list of devices, ranging from the HTC One and Galaxy S4 to the Nexus S and Galaxy S II....

The Vietnam War is widely remembered as a distinctly American affair, though some people might not realize just how many nations were roped into conflict in the country that had formerly been part of French Indochina. Indeed, Australia took part in the war, and the 1966 Battle of Long Tan marked a turning point for the young soldiers who had been sent to a foreign country without understanding why there were there, or who, exactly they had been sent to fight....

There’s something special about an everyday citizen taking it upon themselves to protect the weak, particularly when the action is set in the pages of a comic book. When those skills are based on martial arts and a good attitude, a long cape or a simple mask can do the trick. But when that vigilante rises to the rank of certified superhero… a more sophisticated wardrobe is called for. Take Superman, for instance: a superhero so iconic, so all-powerful and unflappable that his existence across more than half a century has seen dozens of updates, upgrades, makeovers, and groundbreaking new looks - and he’s about to add one more....

A Bloomberg report says Apple is considering allowing iPhone and iPad users to choose third-party default iOS apps for things like email and web-browsing. Currently, you can use third-party apps, of course, but as we explained earlier, you can’t set them as the defaults. If Apple does go ahead with this, it will likely be reluctantly.
