For fourteen seasons, Meredith Grey and company have won over audiences with their constant medical emergencies, devastating losses, and relationship drama. It’s one of those rare shows that spans across different generations.

Rising star Alden Ehrenreich leads the charge as the iconic smuggler, fronting an A-list cast that’s one of the finest ensembles the studio has assembled.

AirPods are one of my favorite Apple products to come along in quite some time, and I use them every single day. I especially enjoy using them while traveling, because they’re completely devoid of wires, have all-day battery life, seamless device pairing, and are easy to stow away. I was skeptical during their initial unveiling, but after using AirPods for the last year and half, they’ve become one of my favorite tech products of all time....

Live Streaming content can require a lot of moving parts and can sometimes be challenging to manage. Elgato had these same concerns and decided to create the Stream Deck. The Stream Deck is a live content creation controller with 15 customizable LCD keys. These keys are used for creating quick and easy shortcuts to make streaming easier and more efficient. I, however, am not a heavy gamer nor streamer. I decided to test out the Elgato Stream Deck for my own workflow....

Happy Death Day 2U’s ending not only revealed the reason for the time loops that force Tree Gelbman (Jessica Rothe) to repeat the same day multiple times but it also set up a multiverse and a third film.

DC Universe’s new Harley Quinn series features cameos by a large number of DC Comics characters. Many of these are Batman villains and allies, as befits the Gotham City setting, but the show’s trailers have revealed that the Clown Princess of Crime will be confronting heroes and villains from all corners of the DC Universe soon enough. The Harley Quinn series premiere, “Til Death Do Us Part”, sets the stage for the series at large and introduces the main players....

Wands! In the Potterverse, they are the necessary wizard or witch accessory. Or are they? Actually, a witch or wizard can, if they focus really hard and concentrate, do magic without a wand. But the wand comes in handy to speed up the process. It’s a convenience item, a way of channeling the maximum amount of magical energy. Zapping power, you might say. Before the movies came along, you had to imagine what the wands actually looked like....

Every house in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is well known for certain qualities that they value and aspire to above all else. Hufflepuff values kindness and hard work, Gryffindor values bravery and boldness, Slytherin values ambition and cunning, and Ravenclaw values wit and wisdom. So it’s no big surprise that Ravenclaw house has the reputation of being the smartest house in the world of Harry Potter. While the vast majority of Ravenclaw students are at least above average in their intelligence, being in Ravenclaw certainly isn’t a guarantee that someone is smart....

The Coalition has pulled out all the stops with Gears 5, making some bold choices when it comes to gameplay.

Beyond the gameplay, Gears 5 also pushes the series forward when it comes to its story....

E-mails are the most commonly used mode of communication in the professional world today. Composing a mail using any mode like Gmail is quite easy. Though like any other software or app, Gmail too is not left alone from errors.

Early reactions for Godzilla: King of the Monsters have arrived, hyping a monster blockbuster. The road to the new Godzilla film has been long, but it’s almost here. It has been five years since Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla, where the legendary kaiju battled a creature called M.U.T.O.

To try to change the public perception of their universe, they promoted DC Comics’ Geoff Johns to the head of DC Entertainment. Since he became directly involved with the film side of things, Johns has been at the center of lots of speculation thanks to his social media activity....

There’s no shortage of tearjerking where Grey’s Anatomy is concerned, as the show’s selling point in its first seasons was that it would have you bawling on the ground like a girl dumped at the prom at regular intervals. Although there are hundreds of times where the show had us crying, there have been a select few moments that shattered our hearts. In this list, we haven’t put major focus on main character deaths, as those were naturally hard on the feels....

Back in July, Gunn was fired by Disney after old tweets with controversial jokes resurfaced, leaving Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in limbo for months, and fans all over the world confused and frustrated. The Guardians cast, as well as filmmakers from both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and other studios, expressed their support for Gunn, with some campaigning for him to be reinstated....

When you think of the director you’d want to bring on for a live action version of a Disney movie, Guy Ritchie probably isn’t the first person to spring to mind. His films, like Snatch and RocknRolla or Sherlock Holmes don’t really fit in with the typical Disney fare. When we sat down to discuss Aladdin with Ritchie, he addresses just that along with his approach to bringing this beloved film to life in live action for both a new audience and fans of the original....

The holiday season is preceded by Christmas decorations going up in craft stores by October, eggnog cartons lining the grocery shelves in November, and the promise of all new Hallmark Christmas movies to binge on TV come December. Over the decades that Hallmark has been in the business of professional merry-making, they’ve generated dozens (if not hundreds) of films focused on the meaning of Christmas. These films are full of beautiful looking people, festive looking set pieces, and the same tried-and-true tropes year after year....

Although cannibalism is also frowned on in the wizarding world, Hannibal characters can still be sorted into their Hogwarts houses....
