Four directors helmed Warner Bros. Pictures’ eight Harry Potter movies. Home Alone director Chris Columbus directed the series’ first two installments, 2001’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and 2002’s Chamber of Secrets, while Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, and David Yates tackled the six films that followed. Each brought their own sensibilities to the franchise, especially Cuarón, who is a well-respected name among both casual moviegoers and die-hard cinephiles. It turns out that he isn’t the only celebrated auteur that Warner Bros. met with to direct a Harry Potter film, either. In a recent interview with Variety, Se7en and The Social…

It seems Samsung is in no rush to rethink its foldable strategy, even if that means taking a backseat to innovation and letting the Chinese labels bear the burden of progressive experimentation. One of Samsung’s manufacturing partners has revealed in an interview that the next slate of foldable phones from Samsung may not offer much in terms of upgrades. Instead, enthusiasts will have to wait for the 2026 slate to see any notable changes. Talking to Korean news outlet The Elec, an executive at China’s FastPrint revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 series may not get much in terms…

Nosferatu star Lily-Rose Depp likely knows a thing or two about which movies traumatize an audience. Her central role in Robert Eggers’ latest film is unsettling, to say the least. Which is why it might come as a surprise to some that, in a recent interview with the U.K. version of Harper’s Bazaar., she said that one of her most traumatizing childhood watches was Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands, which stars her father, Johnny Depp, as its central character. “I was traumatized by it,” Depp explained. “Not because I thought he was scary, but because everyone was being so mean to him,…

Despite having some amazing games on the Xbox Series X and S, console sales this generation have been lackluster at best. Xbox has made a lot of gambles to try to stay competitive, such as Game Pass and making the biggest acquisition in gaming history with Activision Blizzard, but the question still remains how it will manage to regain its foothold in the industry after…

Minecraft is a force of nature that nearly every single person over the age of 15 has either played or watched on YouTube, and its creator, Markus Persson (better known as Notch), said he has “basically announced” Minecraft 2, or at least a game in a similar vein. Shortly after the turn of the New Year, Notch posted a survey on X asking fans what type of game they would like to see him make next. The options were Minecraft 2 or a retro-inspired roguelike. Nearly a quarter of a million people voted, with the unsurprising majority asking for Minecraft 2.…

While Path of Exile 2 has six unique classes to choose from at the start of the game, you can eventually specialize in one of two Ascendencies from each class.

This ARPG offers an array of skills on your skill tree, and even more exclusive skills for each Ascendency. Even if you haven’t reached the point where you get to choose one yet, it’s good to know how good each Ascendency is in the meta right now. Here’s a…

Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event is less than three weeks away, but much like the years, the leaks just keep coming. Though we’ve seen potential renders of the Galaxy S25 Ultra in the past, have been few actual photos of one. Now a leaked image shows the phone and its incredibly-thin bezels, giving us a better idea of what to expect at launch. The picture was shared on X by known tipster Jukanlosreve (who also credited Ice Universe, another leaker). It depicts the right side of what is supposedly the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the slender bezels on its side and…
