I love me a stupid-ass action movie. Something where the plot is thin while the muscles and accents on all the henchmen are thick as hell. Think Broken Arrow or Eraser — movies that were artistically and sometimes commercially terrible but nevertheless thrilling watches that you forgot about almost immediately after leaving the theater. Borderlands 4 is the video game …

Explosive plays and playing to the standard. Those are the things Nebraska coordinators Dana Hologrsen and John Butler want to continue. Offensively, OC Holgorsen said now you’ve put those types of plays on tape. “Was that just a one-time thing because we were excited about the light show and being up by a couple of touchdowns, or is that who …

One of the most important decisions when making a space flight simulation game is choosing between realism and arcade action. The genre spans a wide spectrum, from hyper-realistic entries like Elite Dangerous or the upcoming Starship Simulator, through to arcade shoot-em-ups like Everspace 2, where the focus is less on realistic docking or shunting power between subsystems and more on …

VENICE — Anyone who loves the Oscars remembers Julia Roberts’s best actress speech for “Erin Brockovich” in 2001. At nearly four minutes, it’s legendary, iconic, joyful, unhinged, humble, a little self-centered, way too long and in the Top 5 of the 21st century — or maybe ever. Who can forget her starting off with that famous laugh and immediately turning …

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).
