It's been quite a ride for Cuba Gooding Jr. When we first saw him, he was just a goofy-looking 20-year-old kid trying to keep a straight face as Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall yukked it up as heavily made-up (by the great Rick Baker) old-timers at a Queens barbershop in "Coming to America." Three years later, he was the lead of John Singleton's groundbreaking drama "Boyz n the Hood," which launched him to big-screen stardom. Or should have, anyway. Instead, Hollywood relegated him to thankless supporting roles in crap like "Lightning Jack" and "Outbreak" until he finally got another role worthy of his talent in Cameron Crowe's "Jerry Maguire." As Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rod Tidwell, Gooding did the sports world a service by demonstrating that uniquely talented individuals fighting to maximize their earnings before said talent fades are not the enemy; it's the business that fights hard...

“Cross” was the most-watched streaming original in the U.S. during the week of Nov. 15-21, per Luminate. The Amazon Prime Video series, based on James Patterson’s “Alex Cross” novels, was watched for 1.8 billion minutes in that timeframe, which marked its first full week of availability after premiering on Nov. 14.

Peacock also had a big win this week, charting higher than normal with the debut of “The Day of the Jackal.” The Eddie Redmayne-led series was watched for 830.4 million minutes in its first full week of streaming, landing at No. 2 and edging out “Tulsa King” Season 3’s third-place-winning 787.6 million minutes.

Season 6 of "Cobra Kai" was right behind "Tulsa King," taking fourth place with 782.3 million minutes watched in the first full week of availability for its second batch of episodes. (A third and final batch of episodes is set for Feb. 13.) At No. 5 was "Sisters' Feud," which was watched...

The first half of 2024 was pretty unkind to a lot of movies. The box office was on life support for most of that period and it all felt kind of bleak for anyone who pays attention to such things. The most depressing part was that quite a few great movies were being hung out to dry, including "The Fall Guy" and "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," among others. "Abigail," the latest horror movie from the filmmaking collective known as Radio Silence, was also a big disappointment theatrically. Fortunately though, it's finally finding its audience.

"Abigail" is currently streaming on Prime Video and, as of this writing, is sitting in the number four spot on Amazon's most-watched movies chart (via FlixPatrol). It's currently only trailing Mark Wahlberg's 2021 sci-fi flop "Infinite" (which also recently found new life on Prime Video), Nancy Meyers' perennial 2006 rom-com "The Holiday,...

While it’s common to see different game franchises spark a few conflicting opinions every now and then, Halo, especially the early games, has never truly been a part of it all. In fact, finding someone taking aim at this iconic franchise is about as rare as actually catching a shiny Pokémon.

So, when such opinions do pop up every now and then, consider ourselves utterly baffled by what said person is trying to cook up. Keeping that in mind, while we ourselves don’t have a horse in this race (for now), let’s take a look at what aspects might potentially make the Halo games “not” click for someone.

Is the Halo Series Really as Lacking as Few Make It Out to Be? Master Chief driving the Warthog in Halo: Ce – Image Credit: Bungie.

Let’s start...

After falling off the chart for two weeks, “Outer Banks” Season 4 is once again the top title on Luminate’s weekly streaming rankings. Thanks to the release of its second batch of episodes on Nov. 7, the Netflix teen drama was watched for 1.4 billion minutes watched during the Nov. 8-14 viewing window.

“Outer Banks” nearly doubled the viewership of the next-most-watched title, which was “Tulsa King” Season 2 with 810.5 million minutes watched. It was a strong week for Taylor Sheridan-created series; besides “Tulsa King,” both season of “Lioness” also made the chart. Interestingly, more viewers tuned into Season 1, which was released last year, than Season 2, which dropped its fourth episode during this window. Season 1 landed at No. 6 with 357.8 million minutes watched while Season 2 took eighth place with 289.4 million minutes watched.

In between the two Sheridan series were "The Lincoln Lawyer" Season 3 (third place with 714.2 million minutes watched in its fourth full...

There’s no doubt that Paramount’s Halo TV series was a massive disappointment, with it spending two seasons attempting to adapt some aspects of the series’ canon while also inducing severe changes to the original Halo games. Considering its horrible reception and massive budget, it’s no surprise that Paramount decided to cancel the Halo show after just two seasons.

Before the show’s cancellation, it looked like Season 3 was going to adopt one of the biggest-fan favorite stores of the franchise, The Fall of Reach. The event has been a major turning point for every character in the series. While it’s sad that we’ll never see a live-action adaptation of the event, it’s probably for the better when you consider the circumstances behind Reach‘s development by Bungie.

The rap God, aka Eminem, is one of the most successful and influential artists in the music industry. With a career of over two decades, Eminem is popularly known for his sharp lyricism, controversial themes, and powerful storytelling. He has sold millions of albums worldwide, including The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show, and earned multiple Grammy Awards. His venture into acting with a critically acclaimed role in 8 Mile and business through his record label, Shady Records, also earned him widespread success as a global hip-hop icon.

As per Celebrity Net Worth, the multi-platinum-selling American rapper has a net worth of $250 million. Born in Missouri, Eminem grew up with his single mom. As a child, he was bullied frequently at school. While he always dreamt of being a comic book artist, that changed when he heard his first rap song,...

“Beauty in Black,” Tyler Perry’s newest Netflix project, was the second-most-watched streaming original in the U.S. during the week of Oct. 25-31, per Luminate’s weekly viewership rankings. The series hit 1.2 billion minutes watched in its first full week of availability, landing only behind “The Lincoln Lawyer” Season 3, which took first place for the second week in a row with 1.4 billion minutes watched.

“Territory,” another Netflix title, debuted in third place with 890.1 million minutes watched in its first week of availability. It was followed by Season 2 of “Tulsa King,” which has been on the chart for weeks, this time boosted by the release of its seventh episode to achieve 555.8 million minutes watched on Paramount+. Like in previous weeks, the rollout of “Tulsa King” Season 2 continued to bring viewers to Season 1, which was the No. 10 title with 264.9 million minutes watched Oct. 25-31.

"This Is the Zodaic" debuted with 482.3 million minutes watched,...

There’s no denying the fact that Call of Duty is a franchise that stands as the face of the Fps genre. Whether you absolutely love it or despite it, one can’t disagree that this franchise has remained consistently fun to jump into throughout the years while still retaining its fast-packed action, making us come back year after year to experience.

The Call of Duty franchise hasn’t always given us blockbusters. (Image via Activision)

What’s interesting is that not every Call of Duty is crafted equally, with several different development teams getting their best shot at the franchise. While this formula has given us generational hits, sometimes things can get wacky for the player base. A few games in the franchise have missed the mark in the past, and caused a massive uproar in the community.

Let’s take a look at the worst of the worst...

It's kind of funny that the 2021 Antoine Fuqua science fiction film "Infinite" is about memory, because it's pretty darn forgettable. The movie stars everyone's favorite hamburger man Mark Wahlberg as Evan McCauley, who discovers that he has skills and knowledge that feel like they come from other lifetimes. He's contacted by people calling themselves "infinites," who explain that his memories are real and they come from his past lives. 

It's a pretty interesting premise, but the movie doesn't do anything worthwhile with it and our review gave "Infinite" a paltry 3/10. There are some great action sequences, of course, because Fuqua is one of the great reigning kings of action cinema. Otherwise, though, it's nearly two hours of a katana-wielding Marky Mark in dual roles. That's right: Mr. Funky Bunch plays not only Evan but one of his past selves, which means you get double the Mark Wahlberg. Do with that information what you will.

There’s no denying the fact that the last couple of years have been a wild one for the Halo franchise. Halo Infinite was supposed to revive the franchise and even brought an incredible campaign to the table, but it still managed to fail player expectations due to a lack of content. Players believed that it was the end of the road for the iconic franchise, and Microsoft would divert its resources somewhere else now.

However, the tech giant is now looking to usher in a brand-new era for the franchise. During Sunday’s Halo World Championship, gamers were treated to a first look at the new Halo Studios, the new moniker for developer 343 Industries, and its first project in the pipeline, currently codenamed Project Foundry. With its latest project,...

Halo Infinite was a game with lofty promises, from a sprawling open world to improved combat mechanics. Yet, it quickly became clear to everyone that the game was, to put it lightly, yet another mishandled entry in the once-legendary franchise.

Leaving its failure behind, however, Halo Studios is now going back to the drawing board while shifting from the Slipspace Engine to Unreal Engine 5, hoping to rebuild what was lost. But major transitions like these come with significant consequences, and for our money, one of the most notable is the cancellation of Halo Infinite’s sequel.

Halo Infinite’s Direct Sequel Was Potentially Canned in the Studio’s Move to Unreal Engine 5 A shift to Unreal Engine 5 will undoubtedly result in more varied landscapes – Image Credit: 343 Industries.

If we’re being honest, Halo Studios’ decision to switch to...

There’s no doubt that Halo: Reach is one of the best Fps titles we’ve ever seen in the history of the Fps genre. The game officially hit the shelves on September 14th, 2010, and capped off the original Halo games by developer Bungie. It was the story that kicked off with 2001’s Combat Evolved ended in 2007 with the release of Halo 3, but Bungie also gave us Reach.

Halo: Reach was a massive turning point for the Halo franchise. (Image via Microsoft)

Reach completely shook up the Halo formula, though the attention remained on its phenomenal campaign. Placing players in the boots of spartan named Noble Six, Reach invited gamers to buckle up for an emotional, and action-packed set of challenges. Halo: Reach was truly a generational hit, but it was also the reason why another great Halo game didn’t receive the love it deserved from Bungie at that time.

If you hate love triangles, we have bad news. Days of Our LIves spoilers for the week of 9-30-24 promise that two will heat up.

Worse yet, there’s plenty of Body & Soul drama, which means the silly soap-within-a-soap gets significant air time this week.

Still, there’s plenty to look forward to, even if these stories aren’t it.

Alex and Stephanie or Alex & Chanel? Alex And Chanel Are Friends Again, Which Could Mean Trouble

Alex has been gravitating toward Stephanie again for a while. That’s why I thought this Johnny/Chanel/Alex storyline was ridiculous.

I also don’t like that this storyline is a predictable part of the silliest meta storyline on TV, with all this drama coming from Chanel playing Alex’s lover on Body & Soul.

Antoine Fuqua's 2001 cop drama "Training Day" is notable for its hellish tone, gritty photography, and amazing central performance from the incomparable Denzel Washington. Indeed, "Training Day" won Washington his second acting Academy Award for playing LAPD Detective Alonzo Harris, the most horrible and corrupt cop on the force. Ethan Hawke plays Jake Hoyt, the cop assigned to learn from Alonzo on the day before his promotion. Hoyt will get a disturbing crash course in how deeply the violence and corruption of the LAPD really runs. 

Although Alonzo is a terrible person, he's an appealing villain, and many viewers came to love his gnashing and displays of brazen power. Alonzo's line "King Kong ain't got nothing on me," written by David Ayer, was briefly a part of the oft-repeated pop canon. "Training Day" was Fuqua's third feature as a director (after "The Replacement Killers" and "Bait"), but it was the...

Plot: Mike is happy living a simple life as a construction worker in his native New Jersey – until his long-lost high school sweetheart, Roxanne, shows up with more on her mind than romance. Knowing he’s the right man for the job, she recruits Mike on a dangerous intelligence mission in Europe that thrusts them back together into a world of spies and high-speed car chases, with sparks flying along the way.

Review: Spy franchises work when the main characters are augmented like Jason Bourne or elite veterans like James Bond and Ethan Hunt. When starting a new franchise, it is tricky to balance it and make it believable that an average nobody can quickly become a hero. The Union represents Mark Wahlberg’s second attempt in three years to play a seemingly average guy who has hidden skills that make him a vital resource to save the world. In 2021’s Infinite,...

The Xbox 360 era was a golden age for Xbox gamers, with countless amazing titles, and even more amazing expansions that made these legendary games even better.

But with the Xbox 360 marketplace now closed down, many fantastic Xbox 360 Dlc packs are slipping into the shadows, a few which haven’t been remastered along with their original Xbox games, and might not get the recognition they deserve.

The Hidden Dlc Gems of the Xbox 360 Era

The Xbox 360 had a lot of DLCs that enhanced gaming experiences beyond their base games. Many gamers might have overlooked these additions, focusing solely on the base games.

These DLCs not only extended the lifespan of the games but also offered fresh adventures, perspectives, and deeper dives into beloved game worlds. As the marketplace has shut down, it’s the perfect time to look back and appreciate them.

The main purpose behind the creation of the monumental crossover event of DC comics, Crisis on Infinite Earths, was to streamline DC’s ever-expanding roster of characters from the past fifty years and create a sense of cohesiveness in the process. Helmed by two of the greatest creative minds in comics literature, Marv Wolfman and George Perez, Crisis on Infinite Earths went on to become a pioneering comic epic and championed everything the iconic characters of the franchise stood for. The animated movie trilogy, which concluded with the recently released third part, might have different motivations, character arcs, and altered narrative structure, but in the end, it honors the spirit of its source material by adhering to the final resolution of the series. Like its comics counterpart, the Crisis on Infinite Earths movie trilogy is a story about bringing an end to beloved sagas but also about new beginnings, and...

The last game in the Bioshock series, Bioshock Infinite, was wrapped up with an expansion pack, Burial at Sea Episode 2, in 2014. It seems like the series is all set to continue without Ken Levine, Infinite‘s director, who is preparing to release his own game called Judas which is set to launch next year.

The Senior Cinematic Designer at 2K Cloud Chamber has announced that the team has many positions open. It seems like they are gathering a team to start the development soon. Levine’s Infinite was the last game in the franchise and despite its success, he felt like he trapped himself with the series.

Will Smith has been one of the biggest names in the industry and in addition to being a bankable star, the actor is also a great dramatic performer. The actor has starred in some of the most popular franchises and cult films that have garnered him various accolades.

In addition to films, Smith has a successful career in rap music and has even released four studio albums. In the late 90s, Smith reportedly butted heads with rising rapper Eminem, even taking a dig at him at an award event. Eminem famously hit back at the Hollywood star with his hit song The Real Slim Shady.

Lionsgate has just released the first official trailer for Flight Risk, an upcoming action-thriller from 2x Oscar-winning director Mel Gibson (Braveheart; Apocalypto; Hacksaw Ridge) that stars 2x Academy Award-nominee Mark Wahlberg (The Fighter; The Departed; Ted) in the lead role as a pilot that may not be who he seems...

The synopsis reads, "In this high-stakes suspense thriller, Mark Wahlberg plays a pilot transporting an Air Marshal (Michelle Dockery) accompanying a fugitive (Topher Grace) to trial. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem."

While the plot is fairly straightforward, it promises a wealth of thrills this coming October, which is shaping up to be quite a busy month on the release calendar with the debuts of Joker: Folie à Deux (October 4), White Bird (October 4), Terrifier 3 (October 11), Piece by Piece (October 11), We Live in Time (October...

It's probably fair to say that Bryan Singer's Superman Returns was not well-liked by fans when it hit theaters back in 2006, but many would agree that Brandon Routh did a pretty good job in the role of Clark Kent/Superman.

The movie's tepid reception led to a planned sequel being scrapped, but Routh would get the opportunity to play the Man of Steel many years later as the Kingdom Come version of the legendary DC Comics hero for the CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths television event.

This appearance most likely marked Routh's final time in the iconic red and blue suit, but the actor has often spoken about his love for Superman and clearly has a strong grasp of what's made him such a popular and enduring character over the years.

Routh was a guest during a spotlight panel at Ace Superhero Comic Con 2024. Host Sean Tajipour, the Mayor of Nerdtropolis,...

What was once believed to be impossible has just shaken the fighting game community to its core. At the Nintendo Direct stream earlier today, it was revealed that the much beloved Marvel vs. Capcom series would be making its return to consoles after a long hiatus.

The collection included the following games:

– X-Men: Children of the Atom

– Marvel Super Heroes

– X-Men vs. Street Fighter

– Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter

– Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of the Super Heroes

– Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes

– Punisher

These games had previously been compiled together on multiple dedicated miniature arcade cabinets by Arcade1Up with multiple different variants. However, many believed that an agreement for a console release would be impossible due to licensing issues from both Capcom and Marvel. But we were proven wrong.

The collection follows Capcom’s previous fighting game re-releases with the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection and the Capcom Fighting Collection,...

When 343 Industries was developing Halo: Infinite, it had ambitious plans to expand the game’s campaign with future DLCs. It was because the game was originally rumored to be a hub for all future Halo content.

The developer looked to other successful open-world games for inspiration, but this never fully came to fruition in the final product. An expansion to the campaign had been rumored, but it had been previously canceled.

Halo Infinite Had a Much Better Original Campaign That Was Unfortunately Canceled

Halo Infinite’s campaign was ultimately quite underwhelming.

Halo: Infinite, while praised for its return to the series’ roots of the original art style and more focused combat reminiscent of the original trilogy, was supposed to have a much more expansive and dynamic campaign. The canceled expansion aimed to expand on what the initial campaign was supposed to be, and make it more in line with the original vision.

What if the Halo: Combat Evolved the way you knew was just the tip of the iceberg? That there was always more to it? Imagine diving into a world where every cut mission, discarded weapon, gatekept story element, and forgotten character is brought back to life.

This is not just a remaster; it’s a complete reimagining, a tantalizing possibility that has surfaced over X.

Teasing the Halo We Never Knew Will the new Halo: Combat Evolved remake be up to the mark?

Marcus Lehto recently sparked intense speculation with a provocative tweet. He suggested that a potential remaster could include all the content that never made it into the original game. This has fans buzzing about the possibilities of an enriched narrative and expanded gameplay mechanics.

What if cut missions, weapons, characters and storyline elements were reintegrated along with more contemporary core mechanics that improve gameplay while remaining faithful to the original?...

Elder Scrolls 6 was announced in 2018 by Bethesda. Since then, we have heard little to no news about the game, except it officially entered production in 2023 after the studio finished its work with Starfield.

Fans are turning impatient for the upcoming title and criticizing Todd Howard’s studio for not timing the game’s announcement well enough. Fans are comparing the upcoming Elder Scrolls to titles announced simultaneously, which are almost at the end of their lifespan.

Halo Infinite and Elder Scrolls 6 Were Both Announced on the Same Day in 2018

Bethesda cannot risk making the same mistakes as Starfield with The Elder Scrolls 6.

Halo Infinite was a title that challenged the norms in the Fps shooter franchise. This included the game’s multiplayer following a free-to-play model, unlike any others in the franchise, which required gamers to play for the entire game. The game also faced a lot of criticism from purists and series veterans.

Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers 2 has been one of the most popular third-person shooter video games for the past few months, however, Xbox players never got to experience the game since Sony was closely linked with the development of Helldivers 2. This was quite unfortunate but a small development studio called The Forge Falcons wanted to give Xbox players a proper Helldivers 2 experience using their own Xbox-exclusive game, Halo Infinite.

The Forge Falcons came up with a ‘Helljumpers‘ Halo Infinite project which provides a Helldivers 2-like PvE experience using Halo Infinite‘s Forge. The studio aimed for a release in early June but the final release date has been revealed: 28th June. The Forge Falcons revealed that the development is going extremely well, however, they will have to delay the project if it doesn’t meet their expectations.

Halo, one of Microsoft’s most iconic franchises, revolutionized the console Fps genre. Given that Halo Infinite did not meet the company’s expectations, 343 Industries may be planning to reveal an update for the franchise at the upcoming Xbox Summer Showcase.

At least this is what fans are hoping to see at the anticipated event. The latest game was released at the end of 2021. Three years have passed, and Infinite has not added a ton of content post-launch. The players want to see this legendary franchise reborn with a new game.

Halo Needs Something New From 343 Industries Fans are hoping to see a new Halo from 343 Industries.

Despite a strange development that nearly led to the game’s demise, Halo Infinite was finally released one year after its original release date, lacking the content that fans had eagerly anticipated.

What I really want to see from the Summer Game...

When Castlevania dropped the fourth season of the highly popular anime series, fans got to see a new side of Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard. The season was considered one of the best, as it adapted the story from the game perfectly and still managed to leave an essence that was unique to the anime series.

Castlevania Season 4 | Powerhouse Animation Studios

However, the conditions of season 4 were not at all good, as Warren Ellis, the creator and writer of Castlevania, almost got it canceled after its third season. The creator once revealed that he nearly sacrificed the entire fourth season because he wanted to change the pace of the entire season, starting from the third season.

Initially, the first two seasons had only eight episodes, but with the third season, the series upgraded the number of episodes and added two additional episodes. This was, in a way, a positive move for Castlevania,...

Halo Infinite players have been quite creative with the forge mode, just like in previous installments of the franchise. Being the latest iteration of the forge mode, the one in Infinite is by far the most advanced and offers the most freedom and flexibility. Players have shown some really good creativity and versatility with the mode ever since.

The latest standout creation is a mode called Survive the Undead, which is now available in Halo Infinite’s matchmaking until June 4. It’s created by a group called The Forge Falcons, a well-known team of creators that features around a dozen members.

Classic Zombies Experience With a Halo Twist

Halo Infinite players can now play a version of the classic Zombies mode in the game.

The Survive the Undead mode brings the popular Call of Duty Zombies-like experience to Halo Infinite, using the Banished race of enemies from the main campaign.

Writer Ian Shorr has signed with WME for representation in all areas.

Shorr is currently adapting the Korean film Time to Hunt for Netflix, with 42 producing. The original Korean language movie has three outlaws plotting a money heist to leave their dystopian world behind for a faraway paradise, only to draw the attention of a vicious killer.

Shorr penned the 2021 film Infinite, a sci-fi thriller that was directed by Antoine Fuqua, with Mark Wahlberg and Chiwetel Ejiofor starring in the drama about a confused man discovering his schizophrenic visions are actually memories from past lives just in time to save humanity.

He also sold his sci-fi thriller spec script for Capsule to 20th Century Fox, with Hutch Parker (The Wolverine) producing. Capsule followed a young man whose life is upturned when he begins to receive metallic capsules containing messages from his future self.

His other projects include selling the horror...

Xbox, in particular, is finding the current generation to be a challenging business. Halo Infinite, one of their first console launches, was not even complete. According to Sura, an X insider at 343 Industries, the team behind the game has just registered a new unknown ID. This could mean that they are working on a new game in the franchise.

The timing is a little suspicious; Microsoft has just announced that it will open mobile stores, so there are also speculations about a possible mobile game from this very popular IP.

Mobile Games Are Probably Not What Xbox Fans Want A new Halo mobile game could be a possibility, according to an insider.

The last few games in one of the most popular video game franchises have failed to meet Xbox’s expectations. Halo has become a game that not every fan of the console is excited to play; this...

Halo Infinite is the first open-world game in the series, and its development cycle reflects that. Taking 6 years to develop on 343’s brand-new Slipspace engine, Infinite ended up releasing in 2021, after a year-long delay from its initial planned release.

Going the open-world route was a big point of debate for the return of Master Chief, as well as Infinite‘s unconventional direction as a “spiritual reboot” built on a smaller scale compared to other open-world titles. However, here’s why that might have been the very element that saved the franchise.

Halo Infinite’s Open World Is Much Different To Other Games

No padded-out fetch quests in Halo Infinite‘s map, says Crocker.

Speaking with The Gamer, Halo Infinite associate director Paul Crocker explained that the development team consciously avoided mimicking modern trends or relying on comparisons to other titles:

There’s a lot of games out there now, so...

From sitcoms to superhero movies, the concept of multiverse is now every director’s favorite, it seems. From the world of animation to Hollywood, multiverses are really popular nowadays. However, Dcau filmmakers are not pretty happy about this special concept turning into an everyday theme.

DC Animated Universe (Dcau) started in 1992 and ended in 2006. However, filmmakers are still using comics to make animated movies and fans are really positive towards these kinds of movies. Exploring a wide variety of characters and concepts is fun after all. But, it looks like the Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths filmmakers never really wanted others to normalize the concept of the multiverse.

Ever since Xbox announced in February that they’ll port four first-party games from their back-catalog, namely Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, and Grounded, to competing platforms PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, speculation has run rampant about which games will be next.

Although Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer attempted to mitigate fan outrage by saying that the dams aren’t going to break after these four games, there’s been a storm of claims from industry insiders claiming there are more ports on the way, with Hellblade 2 named as one of them. We delve into whether it’s possible.

Eminem’s next album might already exist, but it definitely didn’t arrive today. Monday morning, the rapper surprised everyone by announcing a record titled Infinite 2 with an elaborate teaser trailer. Fans sprinted to streaming services after he posted the 40-second video — which could benefit from having a warning for those with photosensitive epilepsy — only to be disappointed when nothing was actually there. They should’ve rushed to their calendar first.

Eminem, taking a page from Trent Reznor, trolled fans yearning for a new album by releasing a faux trailer for Infinite 2 on April Fools’ Day.

The video opens with screenshots of social media pleas from fans asking for a new Eminem album. Cue some 1996-era graphics and a movie narrator, who announces: “The highly-anticipated next studio album goes back to where it all started. Infinite but now it’s even more infinite. Out today!” The trailer is soundtracked by Eminem’s “Crack a Bottle.”

Though an obvious April Fools’ Joke, several Eminem admitted to being duped at first. “my dumbass still believed it despite being April 1st,” wrote one fan on reddit. Another added, “Mf Made Me Check Spotify With A Heart Attack.”

Fortunately for Eminem fans, a new and very real album is on the horizon, as Dr. Dre recently revealed. “Eminem is working on his own album, which is coming out this year,...

Well, that’s what everyone used to think, that the actor is a major name in the film industry, who would attract huge numbers at the box office. However, that is not the case anymore because Marky Mark’s latest film shows how he is becoming an irrelevant name in the film industry. His only way to avoid anonymity is by working alongside his Father Stu co-star, Mel Gibson,...

Arguably, the most famous fictional planet is Krypton -- the home of Kal-El, aka Clark Kent, aka Superman. We all know the story (though studios seem to think we don't) of how Krypton was destroyed, and how the sole (kind of) survivor was baby Kal-El. But while Krypton gets all the attention, it's not the only desolated former metropolis in the DC Universe.

Another essential part of the DC mythos is Mars, our red neighbor. In most of the DC continuity, Mars is mostly devoid of life, with all civilizations having been wiped out through war or a plague, leaving only J'onn J'onzz, aka the Martian Manhunter, alive and stranded on Earth. That is not the case with the acclaimed "Young Justice" animated series, which portrays Mars as having a big, advanced, and very active Martian civilization.

This was by design. The show, which is one of the best superhero TV shows out there,...

Helldivers 2 has grown the name of this newfound franchise exponentially. Fans cannot stop playing this game, and newcomers cannot stop fawning over its marvelous gameplay mechanics. On the surface, it’s just a sci-fi co-op third-person shooter, but underneath, it’s a constantly evolving game based on a galactic war of mammoth proportions.

The dynamism of it all is what’s keeping its players from moving away. The game keeps on evolving, and its lore keeps on developing right in front of the eyes of its fans. And now, after reaching these blinding heights of success, many people have started comparing it with another sci-fi shooter franchise, and its developers don’t seem to mind the comparison.

Helldivers 2’s Halo comparison does not affect its creative director in the least

As I get older, I find it harder and harder to find horror movies from the 80s and even 90s to qualify for a recommendation towards a best horror movie you never saw. First is the influx of all these great companies like Vinegar Syndrome, Arrow, and Severin Films, not to mention Kino and Scream Factory, who pull out all the stops finding the most hidden of hidden gems to clean up and release. Second, we have a ludicrous amount of streaming services, and the free ones typically can find these smaller movies that cost way less to license a streamable version. Between my generation recommending everything under the sun to their coworkers, friends, and family as well as newer generations being willing to stream something if its easy to find, the 80s is well represented, for better and for worse. The 2000s are Chock Full of movies that came...

Determined to protect his family — while treating them to the vacation of a lifetime — Dan must put his long-dormant skills into action, without revealing his true identity.

Review: Mark Wahlberg’s recent output has been mixed at best. For every solid acting project, Wahlberg has churned out awful action (Infinite), terrible comedy (Me Time), and a couple of attempts at franchises. The actor’s latest project blends humor and action in The Family Plan.

“Beckham” is leading Netflix’s Top 10 English language TV list after a clip from the docuseries went viral over the weekend.

The aforementioned clip shows David Beckham questioning his wife, Victoria Beckham, over her claims she grew up working class. Not only has the clip made a sizable impression on social media, but it seems as though the show it’s from has been popular as well. The docuseries topped Netflix’s English language list with 12.4 million views during its first week.

That was then followed by Season 1 of the UFO docuseries “Encounters” (2 million views), Season 5 of “Virgin River...

Actor Mark Wahlberg stays in shape because he wants to live for as long as possible as he explains his intense workouts. The 52-year-old actor underwent intense physical training for roles in his films ‘Pain and Gain’ and ‘Infinite’ and whilst initially, his efforts were about how he looked, he now stays in shape because he wants to make sure he is around for a long time.

He told People: “For me, now, it’s much more about longevity than anything else. You know? Before it was about aesthetic when trying to get in shape. I want to live a long time. I feel better getting up early. If I don’t work out in the morning, I have a really hard time doing it towards the end of the day.”

The star went on to add that whilst he often feels like taking a day off if he...
