The Week Before: Eat Down the Fridge Right about now, you need to start emptying your fridge. The more you can cook in advance, the less work you’ll have to do on the big day. Now’s the time to eat what you’ve got in the fridge and pitch the stuff that’s expired. I like doing this because it also makes sure that we have what we need. The Outdoor Grill That grill is designed to cook food after all....

David Ayer’s Suicide Squad was mostly maligned by fans and critics back in the summer of 2016. Jared Leto’s Joker was seen as a betrayal of the character at his core; the script was rushed, as Warner Bros. forced Ayer to complete it in just six weeks; and the dialogue was agonizingly on-the-nose. The only thing that fans unanimously enjoyed about the movie was Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn. So, with the studio in her debt, Robbie is now producing her own female-led DC spin-off, Birds of Prey....

The estimated box office numbers for Blade Runner 2049’s opening weekend have been lowered after the film had a disappointing Friday. The long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1982 classic has received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with Denis Villeneuve providing audiences with a faithful, expansive continuation. While it’s a critical hit, it’s still unclear if it will be a financial one. The film cost a whopping $185 million to make, meaning that to break even the film needs to gross over $300 million worldwide (standard Hollywood math says marketing and associated costs essentially doubles the budget)....
Guy Pearce is in talks to replace Michael Sheen in Bloodshot. Sony and Cross Creek Pictures are producing the movie as are Fast and the Furious’ Neal Moritz and Dinesh Shamdasani. Multiple directors were eyed for the project before they settled on Dave Wilson, who is the partner of Deadpool director Tim Miller at Blur Studio. This will be his feature film directorial debut. He previously worked as a creative supervisor for Blur Studio on Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron....
The release of Bloodshot #1 is fast approaching, giving the unkillable antihero another chance to make an (action-packed) first impression with a new wave of comic readers. And believe us, the first issue is all they’ll need to see exactly why Valiant’s star supersoldier is in a league of his own. From his debut appearance, the premise of Bloodshot has sold itself: an experimental soldier injected with billions of nano-machines giving him super-healing, shape-shifting, tech-mastery, and more....

In the superhero world, there are many hypothetical fights that people want to see happen, and one of those is certainly Wolverine against Black Panther. Pitting the X-Men character against the Avengers member would create a very intriguing match. There’s no doubt that the two characters have many similarities. Their fighting styles are both very similar to each other and while they have very different personalities, a fight between them would likely be a very closely fought encounter....
No movie continues to inspire fan analyses and theories like Blade Runner does. Even with the release of its belated sequel Blade Runner 2049 that finally provided some answers, the debates and questions continue to this very day. It’s probably not surprising to find out that many college students used the two movies as a topic for their Philosophy papers. Was Deckard really human? Was the whole movie a dream? Which director’s cut is the best?...
[This is a review of Bloodline season 2, episode 10. There will be SPOILERS.] - Given that in season 1 of Bloodline all roads led to the death of the series’ best and most interesting character, season 2 worked to squeeze blood from the proverbial narrative stone by taking the “bad thing” the three main Rayburn siblings had done, and use it to usher in another kind of end, one that would see the lives of John, Kevin, and Meg fall apart over the course of the next batch of episodes....
Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk is a well-intentioned misfire that cannot live up to its higher aspirations.

DC’s Birds of Prey will show a more “personal” side of Harley Quinn, according to actress Margot Robbie. In Birds of Prey, Robbie reprises her role from Suicide Squad, in which Harley Quinn is romantically linked to the Joker and influences others with her unique personality and style. David Ayer’s film also explores Harley Quinn’s frame of mind, as she’s presented as a mentally-unstable character who’s fiercely loyal to the Joker, certainly after he breaks her out from prison....

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Black Panther. Black Panther’s opening scene, which explains the history and culture of Wakanda, was added after the film’s initial test screenings. For a long time, the biggest and most well-regarded fictional location in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was Thor’s Asgard. That all changed when Wakanda joined the fold in 2018’s Black Panther film, which was directed by Ryan Coogler and based on a script by Coogler and screenwriter Joe Robert Cole....

With the BlackBerry Z10 and the BlackBerry 10 OS, the company formerly known as RIM defied the odds, critics and delays to come up with a fresh take on a smartphone platform. However, the device still left hardcore fans wanting, since it lacked the feature so typical of a BlackBerry – the QWERTY keypad. That void is now filled by the Q10 – in a way, an old-fashioned take on the modern-day smartphone....
Blizzard’s latest controversial stance comes from its Hearthstone Masters Tour livestream on Twitch this weekend, which began today and has already seen viewers receiving 24-hour chat bans for typing “Free Hong Kong” into chat during the broadcast.
