With the highly anticipated release of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum comes a return to the intriguing world of hired assassins that is the hallmark of the John Wick franchise. Now a trilogy of films, the franchise has always been characterized by stunning cinematography and innovative action sequences, as well as intricate world building populated by memorable people. From Winston, the unflappable manager of the luxury Continental hotel for assassins, to Aurelio, the chop shop mechanic who fixed John Wick’s prized car, these are characters who add depth and complexity to John Wick’s world....

Venice Film Festival Chief Alberto Barbera says Joker will be a definite Oscar contender this year. The film premiered in Venice this past weekend, where it received widespread critical praise and was proclaimed a game-changer for comic book adaptations. Joaquin Phoenix’s transformative performance as the Clown Prince of Crime earned raves across the board, and some people used the word “masterpiece” to describe Joker’s hauntingly dark origin story for its titular character....

Joker director Todd Phillips says he would like to see a film about Batman set in the same big screen version of Gotham City as his own DC movie. Phillips’ extremely popular (and more than a little divisive) comic book adaptation actually sets the stage for the rise of the Caped Crusader during its own third act. The film climaxes with a riot breaking out in Gotham, spurred on by its protagonist, Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), having murdered talk show host Murray Franklin (Robert DeNiro) on-air....

While Sam Raimi and Marc Webb’s respective Spider-Man franchise had their many ups and downs, Sony Pictures was still determined to have a working franchise going. After years of fans hoping for the web-slinger to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sony and Marvel eventually agreed to a team-up which would allow Spider-Man to appear in the Avengers universe. With Tom Holland taking on the role in the MCU, we have seen a young Peter Parker take part in several Avengers films as well as star in his own franchise....

Screen Rant: Jovan, congratulations on all the success. You’re certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. You guys had a great debut at Fantastic Fest, and now we’re finally come full circle and made it to the home video release for Blu-ray and Digital. Talk to me about Boyce. Talk to me about the character a little bit. Screen Rant: All the characters are really flushed out in this movie and this does definitely feel like a band of brothers type of war epic, along with the mashup of a horror film....

Jurassic World 3 may be adding another familiar face: original Jurassic Park actor Joe Mazzello. Mazzello played Tim Murphy, the younger brother of Lex and grandson of John Hammond. Due to their parents’ divorce, the two come to Jurassic Park and spend a lot of time with Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), who saves their lives many times. Lex and Tim also appear in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, but only at the beginning of the film....

While it could be debated whether or not Apple Maps is better than its competitors, it’s an easy to use app that is built into every iOS device. When navigating and playing music with Apple Maps, it can be infuriating if the navigation volume is too quiet and your music over takes, or vice versa. However, there is an option to either lower or raise the Apple Maps navigation voice. Follow along as we guide you through how to change the navigation volume in Apple Maps....

Apple reached a surprising settlement with Qualcomm earlier this year, but the deal wasn’t reached early enough to affect the iPhone 11. PCMag reports today that the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro both feature LTE modems from Intel rather than Qualcomm. PCMag explains how it was able to figure out that the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max use Intel modems: In past years, Apple split iPhone modem orders between Intel and Qualcomm, but this year it seems that Intel is providing all modems....

After slipping to “2-3 weeks” for preorder customers, just two days after the launch of the iPhone 5 last week, readers informed us Apple’s website now lists the device as available to ship in “3-4 weeks” in at least the United States, Australia and Canada. Many other countries are still listed at “2-3 weeks.” Either way, initial shipments will not arrive until long after Apple launches the device in another 22 countries at the end of the month....

I gave my verdict on the iPhone 7 yesterday, and asked for yours. The majority of you – some 54% – said that the new iPhone was as expected. That’s not particularly surprising given than we’d previously reported almost everything we saw, but 28% of you were still impressed, while 17% were disappointed. Impressed or not, though, the majority of those who took part in the poll are intending to buy the new iPhone....

Earlier this month, a report claimed that the iPhone 7s would be thicker due to the switch to glass backing to accommodate wireless charging. TechnoBuffalo today corroborates that report, reiterating detailed information on the dimensions of the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s… Today’s report, citing a “trusted and reliable source,” says the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus will be “slightly bigger in every dimension. What this means, should today’s report reign true, is the two devices will be wider, taller, and thicker than the ones before them....

The use of incompatible charging equipment, damaged ports, or power sources is also among the possible causes for the slow charging of an iPhone. If your iPhone seems like it’s taking an eternity to charge, it may not be a problem with the device or the charging cable. Here, in this article, we have discussed the simplest and straightforward methods to Fix if iPhone 8 is Charging Very Slow. CNET’s Dan Graziano explains it may be a simple buildup of dust or debris in the device’s lightning port....

The iPhone is one of the most popular mobile devices on the market and that makes it a popular target for malware developers and data thieves. Some of the types of data stored on the phone include: Web browser history A history of all locations looked up on map applications The phone’s serial number and the owner’s public key The call and text history, including call durations Dynamic text which is a wealth of useful forensic information...

iPhone Upgrade Program members in the US were able to set everything up in advance to pre-order their new iPhone 12 on day one. Not so UK members, however, as upgrades could only be processed in physical Apple Stores – and those were closed by the coronavirus lockdown . Non-essential stores could remain open for click-and-collect, but that didn’t permit the in-store paperwork needed to begin or renew an iUP membership …...

I made the decision a few weeks ago to install the beta of macOS Catalina. It’s still pretty buggy, but since I enjoy testing out new features (and writing about them), I am willing to deal with the crashes and incompatibility throughout the summer. One of the biggest surprises for me has been the changes in the Reminders app. Over the years, I used several to-do/GTD/project management/task apps. From Kindless GTD, Omnifocus, Things, and Todoist, I’ve used a lot of them....

Is DCEU’s blockbuster Suicide Squad available to stream on Netflix? The DC Extended Universe is currently in great shape, with a line-up of exciting projects, from the eagerly awaited sequel Wonder Woman 1984 to Joaquin Phoenix’s mature take on the Joker. It has to be said the DCEU had some bumps along the way, however. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, the second official entry, was met with a mixed critical reception and its box-office gross proved disappointing to the studio....

Apple has slowly been improving the movie rental experience on iTunes this year as it focuses on revenue growth from services. Back in March, Apple introduced a new ‘rent once, watch anywhere’ feature that removed a playback restriction for viewing rentals on different devices. Now, Apple has doubled the amount of time you’re allowed to play a rental after you start watching. The new limit gives you playback access to a rented movie for 48 hours from the time you hit play....

What’s meant to occur is that customers purchasing film or TV content in HD will automatically also gain a standard definition version, which they can carry around and play on their iPhone or iPod. But, as described on an Apple support forum, the implementation appears a little buggy, with some users complaining that after waiting for a significant length of time for the HD version of the title to download, the badly-named SD version then overwrites the higher-resolution video....

UISettings, first third-party widget for the iOS 5 Notification Center Well, that didn’t take too long. The jailbreak community is obviously pleased with the new Notification Center in iOS 5 and its ability to run little web programs called widgets. Apple ships two-built in widgets, Weather and Stocks, that can be configured in Settings > Notifications and a recent proof-of-concept has taught us that developing widgets for the notification screen is technically feasible, even with the latest software development kit not officially endorsing widgets....
