We have not been conditioned to have fun during a Darren Aronofsky movie — or, at least, not the traditional kind of fun. No one would describe watching the handful of addicts in “Requiem for a Dream” descend to a new circle of unimaginable, dopesick Hell as a “romp.” Even a film like “Black Swan,” which lives at the center …

I uploaded a trailer for this summer’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning movie onto the TinyTV, and with 223.4 pixels per inch, its screen was sharp enough to show details like a document with text, the edges of a small airplane’s wing, and the miniscule space between Tom Cruise and the floor in that vault from the first Mission: …

There is a spec war going on among companies to claim the crown of thinnest foldable. Phone manufacturers are playing with fractions of millimeters to boast about their phone’s thickness.
Honor is winning this race on a theoretical basis with its 8.8 mm (when folded) thick Magic V5 foldable. I’m saying theoretical because there is a huge, camera-bump-sized caveat to this. Image Credits:Ivan Mehta The device’s thin frame looks and …

In “Jay Kelly,” George Clooney plays a movie star very much like George Clooney. By that, I don’t simply mean that the outlines of Clooney’s career and that of the character sync up just so (though they do).

We live in an age when we want things to be relatable. Whether it’s celebrities, cultures, movies and TV shows, music, even humor – if we can’t relate to it, we’re probably less likely to say that we find it interesting. And while we have that thing in common, our tastes and preferences can vary vastly. That’s why Bored Panda …

9:55 a.m. – The first day of a new $25 fee charged to those who park on some Falcon Heights streets didn’t get off to a smooth start for Joe and Marla McPherson. Signs on Asbury Street read “Fast & Easy” parking payments, but the couple ran into a snag when the app sent back a message saying “can’t carry …

Over the past 30 years of Ron Howard’s mostly-post-comedy directorial career, some of his best movies resemble grand adventures gone wrong. Apollo 13 is filled with wonder and reverence for slipping the surly bonds of Earth until a technical malfunction redirects that awe toward a procedural rescue. The Missing is a wide-open-spaces Western mission underpinned by a dark, dangerous urgency. …

Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons wasn’t interested in talking about his brief scuffle with quarterback Cam Ward at practice earlier this week, but Ward didn’t seem to have any trouble talking about it on Wednesday. Ward threw a touchdown in practice and then shoved Simmons before breaking out his “Zombieland” celebration. Simmons responded by shoving Ward and members of the …
