Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS ahead for Avengers: Endgame Hawkeye may have been entirely absent from Avengers: Infinity War, but he makes up for it in Avengers: Endgame by finally getting the kind of story arc that fans have been waiting for - and makes a strong case for getting a bigger role in Phase 4. Endgame opens with Clint, enjoying his (ankle monitor-enforced) time off from the superhero gig by teaching his daughter, Lila, how to use a bow and arrow and spending quality time with his family....

The Rorschach cult’s plans begin to come into focus in the official Watchmen trailer for Damon Lindelof’s HBO series. Based on the acclaimed Alan Moore graphic novel, Lindelof is set to tell a new tale in the Watchmen universe later this year. While fans have seen the original story adapted by Zack Snyder in 2009 for the big screen, Lindelof’s series will be a continuation of the larger Watchmen story in some way....

High-end Roomba robot vacuum cleaners are set to receive a firmware upgrade which will make them massively more intelligent, says iRobot. The company says that while today’s robot cleaners are smart in machine terms, they are very dumb compared to a human cleaner, and that’s what the company plans to change … Robot vacuum cleaners are smart in the way they can create their own map of a home layout and plan an efficient route to clean it....

Fans know a lot when it comes to the students of the Hogwarts wizarding academy, and the top students from that school remain some of the most powerful and accomplished wizards in history. When names like Harry Potter rank low on the list of the best students at Hogwarts, it is clear that there have been some tremendous wizards and witches that walked through its halls. Just looking at names like Dumbledore and Voldemort proves that the school has delivered the most powerful men and women in the realm of the Harry Potter world....

Small iPhone fans, rejoice! Apple has finally updated its 4-inch iPhone for the first time since the iPhone 5s in 2013. Dubbed the iPhone SE, Apple’s 2016 4-inch iPhone could pass for the iPhone 5s if you weren’t looking too close (save for the rose gold version), but how does it compare to its predecessor as well as the rest of the current iPhone lineup? We break it down below:...

Apple is one of the most renowned smartphone manufacturers in the world. Apple iPhones are probably the most awaited device throughout the year. Last year Apple forayed into the credit card segment with its Apple Card. In fact, Apple has now launched the application process page that allows the user to apply for a credit card application. Moreover, the webpage also includes a video that details the process of applying for the Apple card....

Before Jason Segel was cast in How I Met Your Mother, his biggest claim to fame was his role in the short-lived teen comedy-drama Freaks and Geeks. Those who watched both series might have picked up on some references that the NBC sitcom made to its star’s past on Freaks and Geeks. Aside from numerous connections, How I Met Your Mother also featured a number of other Freaks and Geeks veterans....

Hannah Brown hit a breaking point during this week’s rehearsal for Dancing With the Stars. Although she advanced to the final five, the former star of The Bachelorette had a rough week in rehearsals. Brown has been open about her struggles over the course of the season, but the November 11 episode showed a particularly emotional side of the star. Brown first appeared on the latest season of The Bachelorette, where she set out on a journey to find love....

Ravenclaw is thought of as the house of bright wizards who are more intelligent than anyone else at Hogwarts. They tend to be quick-witted, academic, ambitious, and hardcore about their studies. Ravenclaws are also known for being hyper-competitive. Just because they tend to brilliant doesn’t always mean they are generous and kind. Some Ravenclaws are prone to manipulation, betrayal, and backstabbing when it comes to getting an edge over their competition....

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone first released in 1997. The story of the young wizard Harry Potter exceeded expectations as readers swarmed bookstores all over the world to buy a copy of the first installment in the Harry Potter series. In 2001, the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was released, sending those same fans to movie theaters to see how director, Chris Columbus, producer, David Heyman, and screenwriter, Steve Kloves adapted the wizarding world and how they brought Hogwarts to life....

He might have defeated the Dark Lord many times and came down in the Wizarding World as “the boy who lived,” but Harry Potter is by no means the best student in Hogwarts’ history. In the Harry Potter books and movies, many rival his skill, surpass his intelligence, and even compete with his feats. Some of them are even within the same batch or generation as Harry himself. In that regard, many of them could theoretically defeat Potter, whether in a fair duel or even a life and death situation....

Harry Potter’s time at school was harrowing, to say the least. There were multiple assaults, basilisks, werewolves, prisoners, and evils around every corner. It makes sense the students were desperate to take action. While within the walls of Hogwarts, one of the few ways students felt they could fight back was through Dumbledore’s Army. This was an organization started by Harry, Ron, and Hermione to teach their peers the things they learned while fighting off evil....

The Avengers movies gave Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye a place alongside Marvel’s most powerful heroes. But in the films, as in the comics, the archer was often sidelined in favor of world-ending, cosmic crises. As the title suggests, the launch of Hawkeye: Freefall #1 finds Clint un-tethered and aimless in his new solo miniseries. Until not one, but two new villains burst in to throw his zen right out the window....

Things aren’t looking good for director Neil Marshall’s 2019 Hellboy reboot, which was released in theaters across North America on April 12, and is already bombing at the box office. While originally expected to rake in somewhere between $16 and $20 million dollars on opening weekend, the reboot brought in considerably less. Marshall’s Hellboy promised a closer connection to Mike Mignola’s graphic novels than previous film adaptions, especially with Mignola’s co-authorship of the screenplay....

The Disney Channel’s High School Musical series spanned three movies that fans loved due to its catchy songs and tumultuous storyline. Things seemed to go wrong at every turn as relationships were formed and destroyed in a matter of seconds. It was a roller coaster ride that fans were invited on, but they weren’t pleased with every outcome. Several relationships appeared throughout the series that fans were completely behind, while others, they wanted to see crash and burn....

Last Updated: January 26, 2020 With billions of dollars in earnings to their names, here are the highest grossing directors at the box office. As the international box office becomes more high stakes than ever, it’s no longer a rarity for movies to pass a billion dollars at the box office. Blockbuster budgets have gotten bigger, as have studio expectations. Previously, the go-to plan for Hollywood would have been to hire a big name with proven money making experience to shepherd that wannabe franchise to major profits....

The average American makes three resolutions, and the theme is pretty much summarized by one word — better. We want to look better. We want to act better. We want to be better. We just want to be better at something. Of course, common resolutions are to lose weight, exercise more, drink less, and eat healthier. Perhaps yours is more intrinsic. You want to pray more, have patience with family members, or have a positive outlook....

Harman Kardon is perhaps best known to Apple fans for its transparent Soundsticks speakers once sold in Apple Stores, and a popular pairing with a range of Macs. But the company also used to make headphones, and it has now returned to the market ready to go head-to-head with Apple’s AirPods … As Engadget notes, it’s been more than five years years since the launch of the company’s last headphones....

We heard yesterday that Walmart would begin pre-orders in-store at 8 a.m. this morning (that might not be so true). We also heard the retailer would offer the device for about $10 less than Apple’s price at $189.97 on a two-year contract. Now we get a look at Walmart’s entire iPhone 5 launch plan, which, according to the internal documents sent to us above, includes a $4.99 VUDU movie credit, but it does not seem to agree with the launch schedule originally reported....
