One of the more controversial narrative threads of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was the journey of former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Sharon Carter. The niece of S.H.I.E.L.D. charter member and Steve Rogers’ great love Peggy Carter (and, briefly, a love interest for Cap as well), the well-meaning and pure-intentioned Sharon found herself out of favor with the U.S. government and on the lam after helping Steve in his quest to find and clear Bucky Barnes in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War — which included disregarding orders and returning the shield to Steve....

Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers just arrived on Disney+ and while it follows up on 1988’s Rescue Rangers animated series, it’s more of a thematic sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. Both feature similar concepts like a world where humans and cartoons coexist, each use the existence of cartoons to explain real life issues (racism, trafficking), and both have a freaky hybrid villain in the finale. But the main thing everyone sees is that they’re also gigantic collections of cartoon cameos....

Episode five is directed by Gareth Evans himself, who made The Raid movies, and you can see certain elements and preoccupations from those films come through. We sat down with Evans – via Zoom – to talk through the details of the centrepiece episode from Gangs Of London. “We knew we wanted to have this overriding arc throughout the entire season. It felt like we were making nine films that would be a continuing story,” he explains, of his approach to the show as a whole....

Distributed tracing is the way to get fine-grained information about system performance. It is a way to visualize the lifecycle of a request passing through the application. The application could consist of multiple services present on a single node or distributed across nodes. So, by using distributed tracing, you can get a consolidated view of all the services. And Grafana Tempo is all about that. What is Grafana Tempo? There were some major updates from Grafana Labs at the ObservabilityCon conference this year, and Grafana Tempo was one of them....

One-time theatrical release Greenland, the Gerard Butler vehicle in which the star must try to save his family from a comet hurtling toward the Earth, is going to skip theaters altogether after moving out of its initial release date. Butler stars in the film as John Garrity, a construction engineer who begins getting mysterious messages from Homeland Security that a massive comet that is supposed to harmlessly buzz by us is instead aimed right for the planet....

In Gretel & Hansel, Gretel (Sophia Lillis) becomes reader and subject both: She’s the beneficiary of a witch’s whims yet she’s also granted the chance to actually consider the gift offered to her. At a glance, Osgood Perkins’ film is a welcome dark take on the source material. Yet like the witch’s gingerbread house, it suffers in its construction and upon closer inspection. How interesting that the past seven years has seen two very different adaptations of the Grimm Brothers’ Hansel and Gretel, with its malleable sibling dynamic and grotesque indulgence in cannibalism....

On that note, we should mention that the GTA Trilogy has already been brought into the modern age (kind of) via various ports to more modern platforms (including mobile devices). As such, you essentially have the original PS2 games (as well as their Xbox ports), the more recent “updated” versions of these titles, and this Definitive Edition remaster. It’s all a little strange, but we’ll talk more about what changes were made to specific versions of the games when we get to certain points....

In a discussion with The Independent, Poulter described his process for getting into shape for the role. In short, it sounds a bit intense: “I wouldn’t recommend anyone do what I did to get ready for that job,” he told The Independent. In addition to spending lots of time in the gym, Poulter has been adhering to what he calls “a very, very specific diet.” That diet includes “quantities of food you wouldn’t necessarily want to ingest....

“It completely snuck up on me,” says Gillan, who also made her directorial debut with 2018 dramedy The Party’s Just Beginning. “I did not anticipate that I would be doing action whatsoever. I don’t know why. It just never even crossed my mind. I mean, I did a little bit of aikido and judo when I was a kid, but it wasn’t at the forefront of my mind at all....

The interesting thing is, of all of the cases investigated in the show, the only criminal who might not have something saved for retirement is the one who got away with the crime and turned herself in. Told by the people who pulled them off, Heist is a cautionary tale that throws caution to the wind. The docuseries was produced by Dirty Robber, it chronicles the events of three famous modern heists....

“I feel like Mrs Coulter is a bit of a control freak,” says Ruth Wilson on stage at the London premiere of His Dark Materials. “She needs to be in control, and that’s in her look as much as everything else.” Mrs. Coulter’s look in the HBO-BBC adaptation is a striking one. Inspired by 1930s-1940s Hollywood actor Hedy Lamarr, it oozes glamour and shine. Wilson’s costumes feature bold tailoring in luxurious velvet, satin and fur, with jeweled accents....

1.6 The Daemon Cages Roger’s hero speech. Ma Costa’s revenge. Lyra karate-kicking the fire alarm. Serafina cutting a magical swathe through the enemy. The mother-daughter-monkey-rage-scream through the locked door. Iorek’s arrival. Lee’s gunshot. The guillotine meltdown… This episode had so many high points and so much rousing action that it’s a real credit to the writing, performance and direction that its most gripping scene was also its quietest: Lyra and Mrs Coulter’s reunion....

Described in George R.R. Martin’s fictional history of the Targaryen family, Fire & Blood, as “Lord Flea Bottom” and “Prince of the City,” Daemon always seemed destined to be a juicy role for any actor. As the younger, swaggering brother of old King Viserys (Paddy Considine in House of the Dragon), Daemon appears on the page about as close to a rock star as King’s Landing ever knew. He’s a man who fights pirates for fun yet nonetheless acts like one....

Josh (Rudd). Alicia Silverstone’s Cher Horowitz is a beautiful, rich teenager who is immaculately dressed and a Queen Bee at school. While she has a tendency to be self-centered, her heart is in the right place, even when she makes mistakes....

Future State: Harley Quinn introduced us to a Gotham where heroes are outlawed and a militarized police force known as the Magistrate rules supreme. Within this world Harley is a woman imprisoned, literally. That is until Jonathan Crane asks for her help to catch the criminals of the city. It’s a recognizable setup, one that Phillips took directly from a classic movie. “It was funny,” Phillips laughs. “We initially knew we wanted a Clarice....

The new DVD/Blu-Ray is the first fully uncut, extended version of the film to be available. Besides restoring cinematographer Nicolas Roeg’s sumptuous camerawork, we get extra scenes which were cut by censors. The package also includes a 20-page booklet with a new essay from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ film preservationist Tessa Idlewine. The original “The Masque of the Red Death” short story was published in 1842, and it is only 15 paragraphs long, shorter than a Cracked article....
