Apple has made the move in response to shifts in currency exchange rates and varying tax rules. Prices are also being increased in Norway and Russia, though Icelandic residents will see a price cut … The cost of the cheapest apps in the UK have increased from £0....
Harry Potter is one of the most well-known characters in the history of movies. The movie series is one of the most popular and successful of all time, and a lot of that is down to Harry as a character, with the entire story being based around him. Audiences get to follow his journey from being a young boy who knows very little about magic to becoming the man who defeats Lord Voldemort....
Dolores Umbridge might be one of the vilest and villainous characters from Harry Potter. She is definitely right up there with Voldemort and some of his worst Death Eaters, even if she technically never was one. From her first introduction to Hogwarts through to the horrible things she did at the Ministry of Magic under Voldemort’s rule, she was a character that never did anything kind of admirable. But, some of the things that she did were worse than others....
With Apple rumored to working on sleeker versions of its 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pro models in time for a possible reveal at WWDC, designer Martin Hajek has provided one possible take on how the new machines might look. His mockups essentially scale up the 12-inch MacBook design, the above image contrasting with the existing design. The renders also incorporate a rather lovely OS X concept created by Andrew Ambrosino, the UX designer behind the standalone Apple Music app concept we showed you last year....
Apple is preparing to reopen a select number of retail stores in the United States next week. The company closed the majority of its 510 locations worldwide in the first half of March and has recently taken steps to restore critical support and service functions at a handful of stores across Australia, Austria, Germany, and South Korea. The number of coronavirus cases reported varies significantly from state to state. Apple will focus its initial reopening efforts on regions less impacted by infection....
While it might go underappreciated by many, the importance of music within movies cannot be understated. A great film score can really take a movie to a whole new level, even without people truly noticing how much of an impact it is having. From sound effects to ambient music or a full-on loud backing score, music just adds a totally different dynamic. When it comes to creating film soundtracks, there really is nobody better than Hans Zimmer....
Comic book fans wanting to see more than just Marvel and DC properties make it to the big screen were thrilled by the news that Sony had signed a five-film deal with Valiant comics back in 2015. The deal includes both Harbinger and Bloodshot adaptations, with reports that each property would be given two stand-alone films followed by a crossover event film, Harbinger Wars. Now, things are continuing to move forward with the film, but the studio isn’t quite ready to begin production quite yet....
Hayou Miyazaki is one of the legendary directors of modern cinema. The Japanese director and co-founder of Studio Ghibli has produced some of the most iconic films of the last several decades, including Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, and Princess Mononoke. While Miyazaki retired after the release of The Wind Rises in 2013, he has been working on a film entitled How Do You Live? since 2016, with Studio Ghibli also announcing that they are working on two new films in 2020....
HBO is being sued by Michael Jackson’s estate over their new documentary Leaving Neverland. The film premiered at last month’s Sundance Film Festival and created instant controversy among critics and fans of the deceased King of Pop. Clocking in with four hours of extensive detail, the documentary takes an unflinching look at Jackson’s alleged sexual abuse of young boys at his Neverland Ranch in the late 1980s and early 1990s....
The latest expansion for Hearthstone, the online card game from Blizzard, has just been announced. It is scheduled to roll release sometime during the first week of next month. This expansion brings with it over 130 cool new cards and features a special dual-class group of cards that have multiple uses within each class. In other words, this will make the dual-class cards have the same value as a double major from school....
In the original Hellraiser movie, Kirsty Cotton comes face to terrifying face with The Engineer, one of Hell’s strangest and creepiest creatures. Seeing as it hails from the delightfully twisted mind of Clive Barker, it’s no wonder that the Hellraiser movie universe is one of the most visually striking in horror history. It’s also no wonder that Hellraiser is probably the mainstream franchise with the most “WTF?” moments in horror history, regularly featuring imagery likely to drop the jaw of even some of the most jaded fright fans....
The annual iPhone Photography Awards have recognized the top images taken with an iPhone as well as the top iPhone photographers for the last 9 years, and now this year’s winners have been unveiled. This year, “thousands” of images were submitted from photographers across 139 countries, but the grand price went to Chinese photographer Siyuan Niu for an image he called “Man and the Eagle.” According to Niu, the image depicts a 70-year-old man that is normally “rigid and solemn,” but when he’s with his “beloved eagle,” things are different....

The movie is one of the strongest of the franchise, with its 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes reflecting that.

Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody from Harry Potter might be one of the most intriguing professors to ever teach at Hogwarts. Given how many interesting characters had the job of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, this is really saying a lot. While most of the time Harry knew Mad-Eye he was actually Barty Crouch Jr., the real Mad-Eye wasn’t all that different than the acting Barty Crouch Jr. was doing. While Mad-Eye himself might never have actually taught at Hogwarts, Barty Crouch Jr....

The Bachelorette’s Tyler Cameron took Hannah Brown up on her offer to get drinks just two days after the live show aired. Apparently, these ex-lover turned friends may have taken it to the next level as Tyler was seen leaving the former Bachelorette’s place the next morning. Hannah’s ill-fated decision to choose Jed Wyatt over fan-favorite Tyler was one of Bachelor Nations biggest regrets. After Hannah stopped Tyler from finishing his proposal speech on the finale of The Bachelorette, Hannah told him he wasn’t the one and chose Jed, as she felt he was the safe option....
