The Marvel Cinematic Universe has turned one crowd-pleasing film out after another, but besides its semi-diverse ensembles, the starring roles have always gone to white men. Mileage will vary from viewer to viewer on how problematic this is. Superhero legends have largely sprung from the minds of white American men, so it’s only natural that this is the focus of many of their tales. But the more the superhero genre has grown into a worldwide, culture-breaching phenomenon, the more the lack of diversity has stood out....

It looks all but certain that Apple will announce its first European iPhone carrier next week. And some bad news for y’all across the pond (or Channel as it were), it is not going to be carried by Vodafone who is currently launching an iTunes competitor (and whose CTO recently publicly dissed the iPhone). It will most likely be carried by O2 only. It remains to be seen what effect, if any, the recent iPhone hacking will have on the selection of iPhone carriers....

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of the best shows on TV at the moment. The characters on this show are all just so well-written, hilarious, relatable, and likable. The tough-as-nails Detective Rosa Diaz is scary, smart, secretive, and almost impossible to read. Most members of the precinct are terrified of her and no one really knows much about her, not even her closest friend Jake. While she’s considered the resident “tough guy” and “badass”, Rosa does have a soft side, which occasionally comes out....

Brian Banks, which arrives in theaters this week, tells a powerful true story with the help of the man who lived through it. After the promising young football star was sent to jail for a crime he did not commit, Banks lifted himself up and stood up to the system. Now that he’s exonerated and able to tell his tale, he has the support of artists such as director Tom Shadyac, who were committed to bringing his story to the big screen....

Good intentions and Hodge’s eloquent, stirring performance help to compensate for Brian Banks’ shortcomings as a thinly-sketched inspirational biopic. Brian Banks’ real-life story is one that risks coming off very badly in a movie. It deals with highly sensitive topics - specifically, a false rape accusation - that require delicate handling to avoid being problematic in their portrayal. That it also involves an innocent black teenager being coerced into accepting a plea deal (in order to serve a broken justice system) is almost a secondary issue....

47 Meters Down: Uncaged promises to double the chills of 2017’s underwater thriller, and it’s got a bright, young cast ready to deliver. Actors Brianne Tju, Davi Santos, and Khylin Rhambo all sat down with Screen Rant to share how Johannes Roberts prepared them for their sea creature struggle and sort out their own feelings about sharks after their adventure. Congratulations on the film. Terrifying. I almost don’t want to go in the water; I think I about shit myself....

After being announced back at CES in January, Brilliant has officially launched HomeKit support in public beta for its “Control” smart home hub.

With HomeKit support, fans and lights wired directly to Brilliant Control directly will now be controllable via HomeKit: Brilliant also points out one limitation to its new support of HomeKit, which it says is a limitation on Apple’s side:...

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has a compelling cast of well-developed and intricately fleshed out characters who have everyday, relatable adventures. And then there’s Hitchcock and Scully. This hilarious duo is a big part of what makes Brooklyn Nine-Nine so unique. Every sitcom needs a Hitchcock and Scully, but not every show manages to portray them in such a ridiculously funny, weird way, Hitchcock and Scully are definitely not the heart of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but they contribute a lot to the comedy department....

The move was first noted by MultiChannel News. CableLabs is a consortium made up of cable providers that works with these providers in order to bring new TV-related technologies to life. At Apple, Mule will work as an Engineering Director, but it is currently unclear was his precise role will be....

Incredibles 1 and 2 director Brad Bird is not interested in having Pixar’s superheroes cross-over with Marvel Studios’ characters. To be fair, it’s something that could actually happen, now that both Marvel and Pixar are part of the larger Disney family. The Mouse House is already taking advantage of the sheer number of IPs under its umbrella by having Marvel characters, stormtroopers, and Disney princesses alike appear in this fall’s Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2....

Former star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Brandi Glanville calls Denise Richards a “b*tch” over season 10 drama. Brandi starred on the Bravo show from season 3 to season 5 and often was the center of attention, emerging as a fan favorite. Glanville may be best known for her modeling days, as well as marrying Eddie Cibrian, who famously cheated on her with LeAnn Rimes. She has also written a book and worked in the fashion world....

These days, villains seem to be in fashion. Thanos and Killmonger have proved a big hit in the MCU, while fascination still surrounds Kylo Ren in the Star Wars saga. We’ve had a Chucky remake which has gone down a storm, whereas the Joker movie is due to hit screens in October. While that’s all very good, however, Brightburn has proved to be arguably the most refreshing take on an enhanced being yet....

Breaking Bad is a show that teaches you not to get too attached to characters. The epic series follows Walter White’s transformation from a mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher into a meth-cooking criminal. The result is an intense journey filled with violence and death. While you could argue that some of the people who are killed throughout the show certainly had it coming, there are a lot of character deaths that are pretty emotional....

Nintendo’s E3 2019 Direct surprised Zelda fans with a particularly spooky The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 reveal trailer, prompting plenty of theories and speculation. While some Breath of the Wild 2 fan theories are too outlandish to be likely, many of them actually have quite a bit of merit. Despite being only a little more than a minute long, the Breath of the Wild sequel reveal trailer provided lots of material for those eager to theorize....
