What’s in a name? For movies, they can be the determining factor when it comes to deciding what to watch. Some can be overly simplistic and straightforward, like Scary Movie or Men in Black, while others are absolutely absurd, like The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? Yes, that last one is a real movie, all the way down to the question mark. But a bizarre title doesn’t necessarily equal a good movie....

As a truly special film franchise, since it first made its debut in 1977, people have really invested their time in everything Star Wars. Fantastic because it featured a simple story of good versus evil, it had incredible special effects, and was spiritual in nature, there are a good number of things to love about this series.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is, without a doubt, one of the best games to release this year, and it might very well go down as one of Rockstar’s best ever releases.

Spend five minutes playing the game, and it’s clear that there is a lot more to do in this game then we could ever imagine....
There is no room for doubt: every company with an Internet presence (in other words, everyone) is constantly exposed to cybercriminals whose level of organization and tactics have evolved to a level where they can no longer be ignored. But there is a key point many security professionals are still missing: A war is won by whoever makes less mistakes. Even companies that adopt a sound security strategy must face the fact a cybercriminal just needs to be successful one time to cause major havoc....
We’re expecting Apple to launch the 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro later this year, with Apple Silicon. It’s currently unclear whether Apple will label the chip an M1X or M2, but either way, we can expect some pretty dramatic performance improvements over the current M1-based 13-inch MacBook Pro (above). Exceeding the performance of Intel’s high-end CPUs doesn’t look like much of a challenge, but matching or beating the high-end GPUs available in build-to-order versions of the Intel machines could take more work…...
Many Marvel characters have abilities that surpass the laws of physics and demonstrate just how different they are from the general human gene pool. While running faster than a speeding train or healing a bit more quickly than the average person seem conceivable, especially for those with mutant genetics or altered DNA, the idea of running as fast as mach 10 is a bit far-fetched - until you consider Quicksilver....
When Naruto ended in 2017, fans were excited to have its sequel series, Boruto, start in the same year. Experiencing a serious time jump, the new series would follow Naruto’s son, Boruto Uzumaki, and his friends during their ninja adventures. It took place in Konoha, but it focused on a new generation. However, other big changes affected the series, such as a huge technological boost, relative peace with a decreased need for shinobi, and Naruto becoming Hokage....

A career in Hollywood must seem like the dream gig for any child. Fame, fortune, and the promise of many years of living the good life. As we’ve learned, though, this isn’t quite the case and children in Hollywood are often exploited and mistreated in the worst kind of way. Speaking to USA Today, former child TV star Tia Mowry said, “You’re a child who is working. You have a job....
Even the most powerful superheroes sometimes need to be saved themselves, and The Hulk is no exception. Although there are few threats in the Marvel Universe that the Jade Giant can’t handle by himself thanks to his healing factor, near-invulnerability, and virtually limitless strength, the Hulk is not invincible. Furthermore, enemies who are aware that Dr. Bruce Banner and the Hulk are one and the same often take the wiser route of targeting his human form rather than his gamma-spawned alter-ego....

Change the Admin Username and Password Again, you need to distance yourself from the defaults. They make it too easy for an attacker to know what they’re working with and carry out an attack. Change both the admin username and the admin password. “Admin” is probably one of the most common usernames that hackers test passwords against because too many people don’t change defaults....

Some auditioned and got roles, and many came back to play the same characters again or take on entirely different ones. But there’s another category of guest star, and wannabe guest star, who, once famous in their own right, made it known to the creative teams in charge of the latest edition of the franchise that they were available, like Bebe Neuwirth....
