There have not been very many onscreen depictions of Vladimir Putin, perhaps in part because he is still Russia’s leader, and so the story of his reign is not yet over. In a recent interview with Deadline, though, Jude Law revealed that he’ll be playing the Russian leader during the first part of his governing career in Olivier Assayas’s new film, The Wizard of the Kremlin.  “I say that hesitatingly because I haven’t really started work on it yet,” Law explained. “I mean, I have, but at the moment, it looks like an Everest to climb, so I’m in the…

Table of Contents Table of Contents Safe (2012) Walking Tall (2004) War (2007) There are so many great action movies to choose from starring A-listers as well as newcomers. A good action movie gets you pumped as you live vicariously through the stars who drive, fight, and charm their way through dangerous situations. Jason Statham and action movies go hand in hand, and this month, three action movies on Amazon Prime Video you need to watch in January 2025 include two films in which he stars. That’s no surprise since he always brings the heat — and the box office…

Table of Contents Table of Contents No, it doesn’t ‘predict the future’ Latency isn’t the issue you think it is A completely new model Nvidia stole the show at CES 2025 with the announcement of the RTX 5090, and despite plenty of discourse about the card’s $2,000 price tag, it ushers in a lot of new technology. Chief among them is DLSS 4, which brings multi-frame generation to Nvidia’s GPUs, offering a 4X performance boost in over 75 games right away when Nvidia’s new RTX 50-series GPUs hit the streets. I’ve seen way too much misunderstanding about how DLSS 4…

In the three years between seasons of Severance, some fans have obsessively analyzed the series for clues about what might be going on on the show. Some of the most popular theories focus on the Lumon Corporation that all of the show’s main characters work for. In a recent video produced for Entertainment Weekly, the show’s cast dove into some of the most popular theories, and in the process, they debunked one that has become incredibly common online. That theory suggests that the severance technology, which uses a chip to sever a person’s work memories from the rest of their…

With the launch of the Galaxy S25 series just around the corner, there has been a lot of speculation about the so-called S25 Slim. It might be too early to sing its praises, though; according to a reliable tipster, the upcoming OnePlus Open 2 (also known as the Oppo Find N5 in the Chinese market) might be the thinnest foldable phone ever made. Digital Chat Station, a leaker with a pretty trustworthy track record, has claimed the OnePlus Open 2 will beat out even the Honor Magic V3. The Honor Magic V3 is only 9.2mm folded and 4.35mm unfolded —…

Table of Contents Table of Contents I Capture the Castle (2003) Boy Kills World (2024) Holiday (1938) January is often considered a dead month for entertainment. Few major movies come out, if any, to the point where the month is often called “Dumpuary” because studios literally dump their least exciting projects during these otherwise dull and unimportant 30 days. Chances are, you won’t find much entertainment at the movie theater, although streaming might actually offer some interesting movies this January. What better time to check out some underrated movie gems than now, especially since no other major movie will be…

After dominating the Oscars with Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan is making the most of a “blank check” opportunity with his next film, The Odyssey. Per Matt Belloni of Puck, Nolan’s The Odyssey reportedly has a massive $250 million budget. The news comes after Jeff Sneider wrote in his newsletter that The Odyssey will be the “most expensive film of Nolan’s career.” If The Odyssey’s budget stays at $250 million, it matches The Dark Knight Rises as the most expensive film of his career. The third Batman film had an estimated budget of $250 million to $300 million, but tax credits reduced the figure to $230 million. For comparison, Oppenheimer carried a…

Table of Contents Table of Contents Why aren’t phone makers using it? What else can the sensor do? Is this the end for multispectral sensors on phones? “To the average consumer, the pictures they take with their phone are often good enough,” Spectricity’s chief marketing officer, Henrik Andersen, told me during a Google Meet call during CES 2025. He was talking about the ongoing challenge of getting exciting new camera technology into our phones when the major players tend to be conservative in their approach, and unless you’re an enthusiast, the advancements may not appear all that meaningful at first.…
