Monkey Prince references the 16th century Chinese classic, Journey to the West by Wu Cheng’en. It is the story of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, and his epic journey to bring the Buddhist sutras to China from India. In China, it has been the subject of plays, operas, movies and TV shows. What’s more, it inspired Dragon Ball, Into the Badlands, and Yang’s own award-winning graphic novel, American Born Chinese....
Dexter: New Blood Episode 1 While first-person writing is often avoided in my reviews, I can’t resist it when talking about Dexter. I started writing for Den of Geek as a college student in 2012. Dexter was the first show that I was assigned to review. This sounds completely ancient, but I had binged the first five seasons using DVDs I ordered from my local library. Like everyone else, I thought that season 4 was a gripping watch, and the finale had my mouth agape and mind racing, wondering where Showtime would take this unconventional drama next....
Last December’s acclaimed Spider-Man: No Way Home put a lot of that speculation to rest, and now we’re here to tell you that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness wraps it in a sack and buries it in a rooftop garden. Directed by Sam Raimi, who is making his first Marvel movie and first superhero outing since completing his pre-MCU webslinging trilogy in 2007 with Spider-Man 3, Multiverse of Madness lives up to its title in all sorts of ways....
From the outset, Doctor Who: Flux has an uphill climb. Quite apart from the significant hurdles of filming anything during a global pandemic, recent announcements concerning the programme’s future – Russell’s coming back! We’re getting a new Doctor! – have firmly distracted everyone from what’s happening to the show in the present. It must be terribly frustrating for everyone involved in the creation of these episodes, no matter what their role was in proceedings, to see something they’ve worked hard on treated like yesterday’s news before the series has even aired....
12.8 The Haunting Of Villa Diodati It’s the spooky one! Most years since Doctor Who returned in 2005 have seen an episode that delves gleefully into something supernatural, even if it does usually turn out to be aliens in the end. We’ve had gaseous ‘ghosts’ in The Unquiet Dead and an otherworldly creature rampaging through a mansion in Hide, and now it’s the Thirteenth Doctor’s turn to strap on a proton pack (or at least wave the sonic around) and go bust some ghosts in The Haunting of Villa Diodati....
“Haunted by someone else’s past, but we’ll see you in the future,” Wright began teasing the plot of the movie. “It’s true. #LastNightinSoho is not quite finished yet due to Covid 19. But, I’m excited for you all to experience it, at a big screen near you, on April 23, 2021.” The news while not shocking is another unfortunate casualty to the coronavirus pandemic which continues to rage on around the globe....
Traditionally, businesses would collect data from various sources, store it in a cloud or on-premise storage, and analyze it later. However, this data analysis model is a vital bottleneck for the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Edge analytics is the answer! This article will take you through a concise journey of analytics on the edge so that you can develop solutions or transform digital businesses effortlessly....
Evil Season 2 Episode 1 Evil season 2 returns bearing gifts in episode 1. The Pop-Up Book of Terrifying Things MMXXI is open to the chapter “N Is for Night Terrors,” and Dr Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers) gets proactive on things which might disturb her sleep. The first season ended on news of the death of Orson LeReaux, a serial killer Bouchard tried to help the DA’s office put away. He got out on a technicality, threatened her family, and Kristen grabbed an ice axe and took off into the night....
To be clear, I do not mean this as a criticism or compliment. It’s merely an observation that the espionage thrills in Vin Diesel’s latest joy ride resemble less a 007 flick than what a child might imagine a 007 flick to be before they’ve seen one. If you asked the wee version of myself, who was raised on reruns of G.I. Joe and James Bond Jr., what Bond movies were like, I might say they’re where the bad guy has a giant magnet that catches his Mustang in the air after driving off a cliff, and the good guy then swings his car from a rope like it’s Tarzan....
Fargo Season 3 Episode 5 Sy Feltz has been my favorite character so far on this season of Fargo. Michael Stuhlbarg played a pathetic cuck to darkly comedic effect in the Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man and now he’s playing another in a TV series inspired by one of their films. Sy has gone from a posturing tough guy consigliere to a sniveling wimp who keeps making his unfortunate situation worse, yet I cannot quit laughing at how hopelessly inept this supposed “fixer” keeps acting....
There’s something undeniable about Fast & Furious: Spy Racers season 2 (subtitled Rio). No matter how wild the action gets, no matter what weird situations it has its lead characters land in, and no matter how many jokes come off as just plain bizarre, it’s just hard to shake how fun the show is. A few times throughout this second season I felt myself losing interest only for the show to do something that immediately brought it back with full force....
That doesn’t mean desktop software is living its last days, no—quite the opposite. Desktop software comes in handy when you need thorough video processing, mainly for professional purposes. But if you edit video online, chances are you need to get the results quickly and without significant effort. Fastreel by Movavi does just that. The review shows why this online video editor is up for the job, its downsides, and what makes it different from other tools on the market....
But everyone loves a good redemption story. The first half of season 6 was all about Morgan and his friends finding the strength within themselves to continue living despite being separated and alone. Ultimately, even the terrors they suffered under Virginia’s rule weren’t enough to tear our heroes apart. With a new lease on life and a more laissez-faire attitude towards chopping people’s heads off, Morgan has been building a new place for his friends to live, somewhere where they can truly begin to build a new, better world and be safe from future villains like Virginia....
Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 8 Well, damn. This is a real heartbreaker of an episode, isn’t it? If you haven’t heeded the spoiler warning above, here’s another one for you: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD for this episode. If for some reason you jumped straight to this review without first watching “The Door,” I strongly recommend that you rectify that right now. In a show that so often trucks in death, this one hurts a lot....
Forbidden Zone is a work of pure originality. It is a fever dream from the mind of a musical interloper that has no peer. Characterizations mean nothing in Forbidden Zone. Neither does storyline or continuity. The basic laws of physics don’t apply so why should the rules of cinema? Or music video? It’s not just that Forbidden Zone is a one-of-a-kind movie, it’s that there is no other movie like it....
As you’re reading this article, I am sure you’ve already heard about the GDPR law that came into profound effect back in 2018. It sent most bloggers and website owners into a panic mode because they had no clue how to be GDPR compliant. Though there are quite a few things you need to follow to be GDPR-compliant, two of them are adding a proper privacy policy and cookie consent on your website....
Game of Thrones was based on a series of books called “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin. After the first season of Thrones concluded in mid-2011, five books in that series had been written. By the time the entire series concluded in 2019…five books had been written. And now, three years after Thrones, say it with me: only five books have been written. Poor George R....
Because, yes, Sony Pictures is unsurprisingly moving forward with a direct follow-up of Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters legacy sequel, with the fourth canonical Ghostbusters movie (but fifth when you count the 2016 remake starring four women) now slated for a Dec. 20, 2023 release date. That’s obviously five days before Christmas (fitting for another movie starring a young family, no?) and one week following Timothée Chalamet’s Willy Wonka reboot (another bid for nostalgia-pleasing, that)....
The truth is, once you know their differences, the confusion won’t linger. Google Chrome is a web browser, while Chromium is a niche open-source browser. Chromium can be used as a browser and a base code for building different browsers from it. Chromium has fewer users and features than Google Chrome but shares the same source code as Google Chrome. Both Chrome and Chromium are products created by Google, so you can be assured both of them do a great job in what they offer....
There’s absolutely nothing like being left in a dumbfounded stupor after a multi-stage con has been properly executed. Stories that revolve around conmen and grifters operate with a very specific kind of jubilation and when they’re done right there is no greater high. A perfectly planned con is no different than an immaculate magic trick or an effective third act twist. As much as cons involve the stealing of something valuable, they’re even more concerned with an understanding of human nature....
