It’s pretty crazy that Supernatural is entering its 14th season, considering that creator Eric Kripke was unsure the series would survive to even see a sophomore outing. Kripke’s story about two brothers continuing their family business of “saving people” and “hunting things” unfolded over the course of five years. At that point, feeling that he had given the Winchesters the beginning, middle and end that they deserved, Kripke stepped down as showrunner....
Action has been a staple of cinema since the very beginning. In 1903, The Great Train Robbery was the first movie to utilize composite editing, on-location shooting, and a moving camera, which would all become integral to early action cinema. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s many films were made which further explored the use of action set pieces, often inspired by stage productions and using many of the same tropes. Swashbuckling movies, starring Errol Flynn in particular, were huge draws for audiences which marvelled at the ever-growing sense of wonder as colour and sound were added to productions....
Some 27% of Brits say that Apple Pay is their preferred payment method when buying products online, against only 14% of Americans saying the same thing … TNW reports payment platform Stripe – which conducted the research – suggesting that the greater popularity of online take-out food services might be one explanation, where people want to make the order as fast and easy as possible.

Watching a movie of a particular genre comes with certain expectations. When it comes to horror, we expect a superhuman villain, some gratuitous sex scenes, and a character tripping at the most inopportune moment. Romantic comedies simply must include an adorable meet-cute, an easily avoidable miscommunication that leads to all sorts of shenanigans, and, of course, a happy ending. Action films are no different. Fans go in expecting to see dazzling fight choreography, pulse-pounding chase sequences, and, above all, the film’s star using everything in their arsenal to dispatch evil henchmen by the boat load....

Nintendo’s perceived standing in the video game world waxes and wanes more dramatically than any other company, and it seems like they always follow every crushing defeat with an unprecedented victory. After the Wii U became the worst-selling home console of the 21st century so far, the Nintendo Switch has been a blockbuster success, becoming the fastest-selling console of all-time in both Japan and the United States. The reason for the Switch’s popularity is due to a number of important factors: from the quality of its first-party game library to the very nature of the system itself, it’s a unique hybrid of a home system and portable gaming tablet that makes it both a console and a handheld all at once....

Almost fittingly debuting not long after 9/11 - considering the often terrorism-based subject matter - 24 was one of FOX’s biggest hits of the 2000s, sitting near the top of the ratings charts for the majority of its eight season run. Unfortunately, the 2014 revival season 24: Live Another Day proved to not be the smash success FOX was hoping for, and the franchise was seemingly once again retired. That was until this year’s announcement of spinoff 24: Legacy, a 12-episode series set in the 24 universe and retaining its signature “real time” concept....
