Amazon Prime Video has a vast selection of movies from which to choose, from classics to new films as well as Amazon Originals. The great news is that you can access them all with your base Amazon Prime subscription. If you pay the extra fee, you can enjoy them without ads, too. The bad news? Movies come and go all the time, so while some stick around for a year, even longer, others could be coming up for removal at a moment’s notice. Case in point: This month, multiple movies from the James Bond franchise will be leaving the streaming…
“Steve McQueen’s Blitz is a can’t-miss war drama — and already one of the most underrated movies of the year.” Pros Steve McQueen’s bold, virtuosic direction Multiple breathtaking set pieces and sequences Saoirse Ronan and Elliott Heffernan’s strong acting Cons Some chapters gel together less well than others Not as emotionally affecting as some may hope A few underdeveloped supporting characters There is a moment of chilling power midway through Steve McQueen’s new, Apple-produced World War II drama Blitz. The film, a Dickensian exploration of London during the Nazis’ devastating bombing campaign, keeps itself mostly at the sides of either…
November means it’s awards season, and Netflix will certainly make a push to win its first Best Picture Oscar. The streamer’s top contender is Emilia Pérez, a French crime musical about a cartel leader’s secret plan to leave the drug trade and transition into a woman. Netflix’s other prestige play, The Piano Lesson, is a moving drama based on an August Wilson play. While Emilia Pérez and The Piano Lesson will remain on Netflix for a long time, a select group of movies will depart from the service at the end of the month. Don’t wait until the last minute to…
There was a time when putting Brad Pitt and George Clooney in your movie together was a guarantee that the movie would be a hit. Unfortunately, it seems that time is no more. Variety is reporting that, three months after director Jon Watts inked a deal with Apple to develop a sequel to Wolfs, the movie won’t actually be moving forward. In a recent interview with Collider, Watts basically confirmed as much when he was asked what his next project would be. “I don’t know what I’m directing next, and I don’t think there’s going to be a Wolfs sequel,” he said.…
None of us like higher prices, but that’s exactly what we could be in for next year. I’m going to be analyzing the impact of Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on the price of PC hardware in the future, using not only some estimates that are available now, but also the historical context of tariffs during Trump’s first administration. My point is not to say anything political in nature, but instead to take a serious look at just how much these tariffs will affect PC hardware pricing. The target of these tariffs is the world’s second-largest economy in China, and the…
Fallout 76 had an undeniably rocky start, with an above-average number of bugs and glitches for even a Bethesda game. It also has one of the best comeback stories in all of gaming and is now a popular, and more importantly, populated, game with a ton of content. The Gleaming Depths update promises to add even more to do in the game, including a brand-new raid, the biggest boss yet, and — finally — four-star gear. This update marks the start of Fallout 76 season 19, The Scientific Forge. It starts on December 3, but the new raid has already…
Microsoft has just redesigned its Outlook email app, and it’s fair to say that the change has made some people unhappy. But Outlook covers more than just email — it’s got a built-in calendar too, and Microsoft’s plan is to ditch the existing Mail and Calendar apps for Windows and merge them both into Outlook. That means that anyone switching away from the email app also needs a new way to manage their schedule. That’s where our guide comes in. We’ve found five of the best Outlook alternatives you can get your hands on, and they run the gamut of…
Momentum has been slowly building for well over a year now for James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe. The multimedia, DC Comics-inspired franchise hasn’t officially begun, though. That long-awaited moment will come when the new Gunn-created animated Suicide Squad spin-off TV series, Creature Commandos, premieres December 5 on Max. Nonetheless, Gunn is already not only receiving criticisms from some comic book readers and superhero fans, but also pushing back against certain claims. The DC Studios co-CEO did that very thing when one fan recently argued on Threads that Gunn’s decision to greenlight projects about “niche” characters like Sgt.…
Have you ever paused your game, tabbed over to a browser, and Googled something you were stuck on? You aren’t alone. 88% of PC players have done that, Microsoft says. While this works for a lot of people, it can cause games to glitch out (like Skyrim, which somehow always loses my crosshairs). Microsoft’s solution is Edge Game Assist, a fully-featured in-game browser that’s similar to Steam’s overlay but with a twist. It’s essentially a gaming-optimized version of Microsoft Edge that appears on top of your game in Game Bar. Here’s the cool part: It knows what you’re playing and will…
The 2025 Oscar nominations may still be several months away, but one of the stars of Dune: Part Two is already making his expectations for them known. In a recent interview with Variety, Josh Brolin said that he will take drastic action if Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve doesn’t receive a Best Director nomination for his work on the film. “If he doesn’t get nominated this year, I’ll quit acting,” the actor announced. Brolin went on to explain why he believes Villeneuve deserves the kind of critical recognition for Dune: Part Two that an Oscar nomination would provide. “It was…
