When one hears the title A Christmas Carol, dark and gritty aren’t usually the words that come to mind. That’s why we have the FX/BBC production to shed a little gloom and doom on the season to be merry and bright.

In Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Sabrina attends a magic school called The Academy of Unseen Arts. But what if she went to a different magical school? J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books focused on Hogwarts in Britain, but Rowling also created Ilvermorny for the American witches and warlocks in the Potterverse. With houses representing the four main aspects of a witch or wizard (mind, heart, body, and soul), the Ilvermorny sorting is a little different than Hogwarts....

Chuck Liddell co-stars in D-Day, the latest action flick from The Asylum, the studio behind Sharknado and Z Nation.

However, Marvel Studios’ first ensemble film was also the final time viewers saw the fan-favorite S.H.I.E.L.D. operative appear on the big screen, after he and Nick Fury (Sam Jackson) faked his death to motivate the heroes to band together against Loki (Tom Hiddleston)....

Download Clean Master (Cleaner) from Google Play. Once installed, you’ll notice a simple straight-forward interface. It’s divided into four sections – History, Privacy, Tasks, and App Manager. The top area is reserved for showing you how much space you have available and used on your device’s internal memory and memory card. Since I’m using it on the Google Nexus 7, I’m getting the same figures for both. The History section is, in my humble opinion, the most useful, as it allows you to de-clutter your device....

A recently released behind the scenes video of Chris Evans rehearsing for the iconic elevator fight from Captain America: The Winter Soldier shows practice was just as intense as the final filmed scene. The fight between Captain America and an elevator full of Hydra agents posing as members of S.H.I.E.L.D. is still fondly remembered as one of the most iconic moments from The Winter Soldier. Although Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released back in 2014, the film is considered one of the best in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe and easily one of the best Captain America solo films according to fans....
