These recommendations are based on others you’ve visited in the past, as well as interests and ratings you’ve registered....

The Walking Dead star Michael Rooker is set for a leading role in Monster Problems, from Stranger Things producer Shawn Levy. In addition to playing Daryl Dixon’s bad guy brother Merle on TWD, Rooker also made a lot of fans for his portrayal of Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy and its sequel. Yondu indeed became a central character in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and his send-off gave the film an unexpectedly poignant touch....

Yahoo has announced plans to close the Yahoo! Music Store, and has told its legitimate, paying music loving customers it will switch-off the authorisation servers, meaning those attempting to transfer their music collections to other computers will be sunk. “They may as well have invested in 8-Track,” a website notes. Microsoft this year tried to do the same thing, telling customers of MSN Music it would no longer supply authorization keys for songs purchased from the defunct service....

Standardizing on USB was arguably the best thing ever to happen to gadget lovers. Instead of having an unholy mess of chargers cluttering up your home, you just need a few USB cables and something to plug them into. I’ve previously reviewed the Lightning Rabbit Triforce and Truffol Station 5 USB chargers, which offer stylish options for the home or office. We’ve also reviewed a bunch of others. When travelling, though, I pack light....

The relationship between Alex (Ariel Winter) and her parents is a bizarre one. On Modern Family, there is a sense of belonging and loyalty between the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tuckers. However, has anyone else noticed how Claire (Julie Bowen) and Phil (Ty Burrell) take Alex for granted? Or how they neglect her in favor of their other kids? It comes as no surprise that Alex doesn’t check in with her family often because they don’t seem to care....

The open-source browser allowed users to access the web through standalone virtual reality and augmented reality headsets, and was available in the Viveport, Oculus, and Daydream app stores. When on the browser, users could visit standard URLs, perform searches, and ultimately move between 2D websites and immersive web experiences. Mozilla explained its decision to close down Firefox Reality was rooted in plans to place that technology into other communities and organisations so it can “continue to grow and contribute to the web like WebAssembly, Rust, and Servo”....

Infinity Ward’s next Call of Duty is all but confirmed to be the highly anticipated follow-up to the beloved Modern Warfare series, and it’s rumored that publisher Activision is considering implementing free-to-play components in the game after perceiving Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 to have underperformed. A return to the Modern Warfare setting has been rumored for the 16-year-old Call of Duty franchise for a while now, and whispers only grew when a small group of professional athletes got their hands on a playable build of the latest title....

A moody and well-acted noir drama, Motherless Brooklyn is held back by its jumbled storytelling and somewhat unrefined filmmaking approach. Like an incomplete puzzle (the kind that would infuriate its protagonist, Lionel Essrog), the film version of Motherless Brooklyn is missing something. An adaptation of the 1999 novel by Jonathan Lethem, the noir detective movie is a passion project for its writer, director, and star Edward Norton, who’s been trying to get it made for the last two decades....

When powerful villains arrive on the island intent on stealing the quirk of the little boy Katsuma Shimano (Maxey Whitehead), the fledgling heroes need to quickly navigate the learning curve from heroes-in-training to professional heroes in order to protect every citizen on Nabu Island and defeat the villains....

There is something special about the sitcom 30 Rock. Created by Tina Fey and airing for seven seasons from 2006 until 2013, the show followed the lives of Liz Lemon and her coworkers at a sketch comedy TV show called TGS with Tracy Jordan. Fans still watch the show to this day thanks to its quirky storylines, quick-witted humor, and fast pace. It wasn’t a typical sitcom with a cheesy laugh track and Liz wanted more than just to fall in love and get married (although, sure, she wouldn’t mind that at all)....

The main character of the Naruto sequel series should’ve been Sarada, rather than Boruto. After Masashi Kishimoto’s massively popular Naruto story came to an end, a sequel series was put into production almost immediately, albeit without the direct involvement of the franchise creator. Titled Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, the new series centers around the previous main character’s son and features a supporting cast of young ninja, most of whom are also the descendants of characters from the classic series....

Today’s generation smartphones are getting bigger and bigger. We are getting 5.5-inch or more screen size with every newly launched smartphone. Moreover, users of stock Android, HTC Sense, LG UX, Oxygen OS, or Samsung’s One UI, may find pulling of the notification panel up from the bottom of the screen a bit weird. However, with a 6-inch smartphone, it might be very useful as not everybody has bigger hands and many users cannot reach the top of the notification panel easily....

Phil Dunphy is one of the kindest, funniest and most adorkable dads to ever grace a sitcom with his quirkiness and crazy inventions. In a show filled with cynical, neurotic characters, Phil’s unceasing sunniness can almost seem the most unrealistic thing of all. But thanks to Ty Burrell’s grounded, sensitive approach to the character, Phil goes from being a stereotypical trying-to-be-cool dad to a three-dimensional character. Even while having his kid’s best interests at heart, Phil is not always the perfect parent....
