Science fiction is an exploration of ideas and the act of turning the impossible into the possible. Much of the genre has predicted technology that we use today. Star Trek presented the Communicator, a device used for voice communication from a distance. Now we have mobile phones with telecommunications stretching across continents. Fantastical elements are still on the drawing board, like teleportation and flying cars, but they continue to excite the imagination and propel reality towards the future....

According to Agatha: Coven of Chaos star Kathryn Hahn her upcoming solo series was not a part of the MCU roadmap until WandaVision’s success.

Though we previously explored Akira Kurosawa’s best early movies through the beginning stages of his career, we couldn’t resist highlighting the Japanese filmmaker’s most successful projects throughout the second half of his extensive and exciting directorial reign as one of the most respected masters of cinema. While a great deal of his work had intersected Japanese politics and traditional Japanese Noh theater with realistic forms of human drama, the middle-to-later part of his career (prior to his final films after Dersu Uzala) emphasized darker subject matters, where viewers see the worst case scenarios, or are led to believe that the worst will ultimately happen throughout the film....
It’s looking like the gears are finally turning on that long-gestating Alien series from Noah Hawley.

Admittedly, this is a brief teaser that doesn’t give us a whole lot to work with, but it’s probably enough to grab the attention of quite a few potential viewers. We see a grizzled Al Pacino plotting out the locations of former Nazis like a madman. We get brief glimpses of him getting to work on said Nazis, which looks brutal and cinematic Pacino provides a bit of badass voiceover saying, “This is not murder, this is mitzvah....

Andor’s latest episode showed us the inner workings of two teams on opposite sides of the Star Wars moral spectrum. While we watched Cassian Andor interact with a highly clandestine group of Rebels, we were also privy to see an Imperial officer try to find her NS-9 Starpath unit that Andor had abandoned on his escape from Ferrix. The officer’s journey to find some cooperation in her unit seemed to mirror Andor’s difficulties with the Rebels; neither character was trusted....
