Few people changed the film industry the way Bob Shaye did. As a young student filmmaker in the 1960s, he knew it would be a hassle to find distribution for the kinds of films he wanted to make and share with the world, so he decided to make his own distribution outfit. It was from these modest ambitions that New Line Cinema was founded, in Shaye’s apartment on 14th street and 2nd Avenue in Manhattan, New York....

iPhone smuggling into China is nothing new, but this year it has perhaps been even more of a problem as Apple awaits regulatory approvals to begin selling its new iPhone models in the country. The good news is that a report from CNBC notes that regulators in the country said today that final reviews of licenses for the new iPhones would be “completed soon”. While the exact reason behind the delays for approvals is still unknown....

What could happen to Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul that would ensure she’s never even mentioned in Breaking Bad? Vince Gilligan’s landmark TV series is packed with fascinating supporting characters, but perhaps none more so than Saul Goodman, the crooked lawyer hired by Walt as an accomplice in his meth empire. Saul’s wise-cracking ways and Bob Odenkirk’s performance endeared the character to viewers and spawned a spinoff venture in the form of Better Call Saul....
Beverly Hills, 90210 still ranks as one of the most popular TV series of all time. The wildly popular 90s teen drama remained on air from 1990 to 2000, piling up 292 episodes over that span. The show was nominated for four Golden Globes during its run and won both Kids’ and People’s Choice Awards. It seems everybody loved 90210!

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) debuted with the second-highest Rotten Tomatoes score in the DCEU. In its earliest days, the franchise was far from a critical darling. Though the likes of Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Suicide Squad were all commercially successful, they were largely panned by critics and proved to be divisive. Of course, the DCEU reached its absolute nadir back in 2017 when Justice League became an unmitigated disaster, bombing at the box office amidst its negative reviews....
There aren’t many superhero costumes that are as iconic and memorable as Black Canary’s get-up. Her costume is sleek and sexy, as she sports her trademark fishnets, leotard, and a leather jacket. However, in the 80s, Dinah Laurel Lance was given a new look and it was without a doubt one of the worst costumes in comics. Black Canary first debuted in Flash Comics #86 and has been a key player in DC Comics history ever since....

Black Panther editor Michael Shawver has opened up on a key deleted scene featured Okoye and W’Kabi. It’s fair to say Black Panther has become a full-blown phenomenon at this point. The movie was already highly anticipated after the character’s introduction in Captain America: Civil War, but Black Panther just continues to smash through records left and right. It’s already topped a $1 billion worldwide, its currently Marvel’s freshest rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s the MCU’s most successful solo superhero adventure and it’s even passed The Dark Knight at the box office....
Marvel’s Black Panther is poised to have one of the biggest second weekends of all-time, with projections indicating it’ll make over $100 million at the box office this weekend.
