Alex Brovarnik, from 90 Day Fiancé fame, recently just rescued a man from drowning in the ocean and the whole thing was caught on camera. The video showed Alex running into the lend a helping hand to a man who appeared to be unconcious. Alex and Loren originally met while the Florida native was partaking in a trip to Israel via Birthright. Alex happened to be the tour’s medic for the entire trip and the two hit it off quickly....

In this heyday of sequels and franchise filmmaking, it can be rare to see a film that bends the conventions of genre break into the mainstream. A Monster Calls is a notable exception to this rule, as the PG-13 film combines a young protagonist and dark themes in a way reminiscent of Guillermo del Toro’s international smash Pan’s Labyrinth. The film follows Conor O’Malley as he copes with his mother’s terminal illness and bullies at school....

AAPL earnings for Q2 2022 (calendar Q1) will be announced by the company later today, and analysts are expecting the news to be good. While professional analysts are more cautious than independent ones, all expect significant year-on-year growth almost across the board … PED30 has collated a spreadsheet showing the consensus expectations of analysts for total revenue, as well as the anticipated breakdown by product category. The bottom line is that analysts expect Apple to report total revenue of $95....

A few months ago, Activision Blizzard announced plans to purchase Candy Crush creator King Digital Entertainment. This would allow Activision Blizzard to accent its current online offerings with King’s fan-favorite titles that appeal to a more casual crowd. And now, in a new press release, Activision Blizzard announced that the acquisition is complete. With a combined player base of over 500 million users across almost every country, this gives Activision Blizzard the largest online game network in the world....

[SPOILERS for those not caught up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ahead.] - When season three of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. came to a close, one of the biggest mysteries remaining was who the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was and why Coulson was no longer in charge. Viewers left wondering the answer to the question for months, with the popular theory hoping it would be the original Human Torch himself, Jim Hammond. That has proven to not be the case with it being recently confirmed that Jason O’Mara is playing Jeffrey Mace aka Patriot....

As fans look forward to what’s next for the cinematic universe, many are wondering when we will begin to see some of those Fox characters integrated into the MCU adventures. The Fantastic Four are of particular interest for fans as they are Marvel’s “First Family” and have suffered some poorly received cinematic interpretations. While it might still be a while before they appear, it’s never too early to speculate on casting....

Fans don’t want their favorite movies to end. Hollywood knows that and it’s more than happy to provide them with sequels. But sequels can go only so far before the law of diminishing returns sets in. One solution around this problem is to set the new story before the events of the first film, which is a novel way of, say, returning to a character after his death. Although prequels have a long history, they’ve become especially prevalent in the last fifteen years, as risk-adverse producers stick more and more with successful, sometimes decades-old franchises....

BoJack Horseman. While the character is known for constantly making mistakes, the show itself gets a lot right, one of those things being comedy. It’s done a great job at remaining consistently funny throughout all six seasons which is an amazing feat considering the serious direction the show can sometimes take with its subject matter. BoJack has one of the largest catalogs of running gags to pull from that make the show incredibly unique....

Everyone loves a good romance. They often spice up a story and make people relate to the characters more because, after all, most of us have also been in love. When the couple in question ends up happily ever after, it brings joy to the audience. Should the romance dissipate, it ends up breaking the audiences’, or in some cases the players’, hearts. Either way, there is usually a satisfying catharsis, albeit sometimes a sad one....

From streaming sites like Netflix and Hulu to networks such as NBC and FOX, the world of television is now more accessible than ever. And with so many new and exciting ways to watch television, producers are tasked with creating new and exciting series to match. Television has been stepping it up over the past few years, and this spring brings along with it a few more shows that have real promise....

Despite being in the same ballpark, being a talented performer in front of the camera does not necessarily equate to being a talent behind it. They’re wholly different crafts. It’s the difference between a circus performer keeping one or two plates spinning and keeping a hundred spinning at once. As actors come along in the industry, they may start producing or writing, but few have the talents required, or even the inclination, to start calling the shots and yelling through a megaphone....

In the age of sequels, prequels and reboots, coming across original film content is pretty rare. In the exceptional occasion that Hollywood produces a film that’s so enthralling, so captivating that we as an audience can’t look away, it quickly becomes iconic. Many of the films on this list have reached this status. While the con artist film isn’t necessarily original, the following list of films have taken the trope and turned it into a series comedic, dramatic and unbelievably entertaining movies that viewers watch again and again....

Movie twists are a useful way for a story to make a big impact. They’re meant to change the game, and fundamentally alter everything we’ve already seen in a given film. Often, they actually overshadow everything that’s come before, and they make the rest of the movie seem rather forgettable by comparison. Of course, there are some films that use their twists and turns to their advantage, and enhance everything the audience has already seen....

Thanks to the #MeToo movement, we all know now that Hollywood is a nightmarish factory of horrors from which good movies occasionally escape, and occasionally you learn that not every celebrity you know is a monster. Even the best days filming on set are filled with long hours, dozens of monotonous takes and retakes, pausing to move equipment, and a general “hurry-up-and-wait” mentality. It’s enough to drive anyone insane. Occasionally, it actually does....

When Supernatural kicked off in 2005, few expected the show to amass the impressive cult following it’s gained. Only a handful of shows can say they’ve successfully completed a dozen seasons and continue to command attention from viewers and critics alike. That said, Supernatural isn’t without its flaws and missteps. With over 200 episodes, it’s impossible not to do something to offend a set of viewers, or to get a bit too wild, silly, or dark....

A-list stars bring a lot to a movie. First and foremost, they bring their considerable talents, which can go a long way toward making a project work. They also bring a level of prestige, alerting audiences to the fact that a movie is worth paying attention to. They even bring financial security. When a top actor appears in a new movie, their fans are very likely to run to the box office, ready to purchase a ticket....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is an employer that guarantees extreme bragging rights. Who wouldn’t want to work with one of the best media franchises and shared universe in the world, centered on a series of superhero movies? Whether you watch the action happen as a cameraman, or are the center of the action as a superhero or villain, working with the MCU is a dream come true for many. This is clear from many Marvel Studio reviews on Indeed, where MCU was termed as a great opportunity with an awesome experience, offering a fun learning environment, and dedicated professionals who foster creativity....

They don’t look like turtles. Not teenage, mutant, or ninja turtles. They are grown men draped in body stockings, faces and limbs meticulously coated in dots, with ping pong balls affixed above their heads as an eyeline. Nonetheless, the four stars of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows feel like the titular turtles the moment they open their mouths. Alan Ritchson (Raphael), Noel Fisher (Michelangelo), Jeremy Howard (Donatello), and Pete Ploszek (Leonardo) share an affable ease, a ball-busting playfulness and an ardent love of the franchise made world famous by a 1980’s cartoon show and ’90s live-action trilogy....

Atari is making a bold return, after unveiling the Atari VCS console. The company was once the golden boy of the video game industry, delivering at-home gaming excitement that was at the time unparalleled. Of course, the video game crash of 1983 put major dents in Atari’s standing in the industry (in part thanks to the release of poor quality tie-in games such as E.T.), leading to the dominance of competitors like Nintendo and the gradual decline of Atari as a whole....
