Despite a potentially compelling lead, Hellboy is a surprisingly boring superhero epic that drags between sequences of fantasy action spectacle. Based on the comics by Mike Mignola, the new Hellboy movie additionally serves as a reboot of the big screen franchise that previously consisted of Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army. However, when plans fell through for Hellboy 3, the studio decided to take the series in a new direction by rebooting it and casting a new actor in the role of Hellboy, with David Harbour taking the reins from Ron Perlman....

The show may be called Hey Arnold!, but make no mistake, Helga G. Pataki is the true star of the underrated ’90s Nicktoon. A nine-year-old terror with a pink bow and a unibrow to boot, audiences were introduced to the blonde early on in the series – in the pilot, in fact – and was quickly established as the character to act as Arnold’s foil (and potential love interest). Where Arnold is calm and kind, with a level-head and a big heart, Helga is bold, emotional, impulsive, and at times, very violent, selfish, and greedy....

Hidden Figures is the rare true story-based historical drama that succeeds at being as inspirational and feel-good as it aspires to be. It’s the early 1960s and the United States is in the heat of a race with the Soviet Union to be the first to break new ground in the final frontier: space. Mathematicians Katherine Coleman (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) are all black women working in the segregated West Area Computers division at the NASA Research Center in Langley when one day, Katherine is unexpectedly recruited to serve as a (human) computer for the Space Task Group that is concentrating on getting a man into orbit around the Earth - with gruff, but focused and goal-oriented, director Al Harrison (Kevin Costner) leading the charge....

The magical world of Harry Potter is as complex as it is fascinating. And that goes doubly so for family ties. Thankfully, we know a fair bit about the genealogy in this world. And yet there are still surprises to be found – or to be reminded of. The pureblooded wizarding families all seem to be connected, but that makes total sense when you think about it. After all, there are only so many families you can marry into if you want to maintain that status....

Hermione Granger is one of the most important characters in Harry Potter. She’s known for her fierce intelligence and deep-rooted friendship with Harry and Ron. However, making friends didn’t always come easily to Hermione. At the beginning of her Hogwarts career, Hermione is a lone wolf. Nobody makes an effort to be friends with her, but on the flip side, Hermione doesn’t put herself out there either. It’s not until a near-death experience with a troll that unites her with Harry and Ron....

Hearthstone’s next expansion is coming soon, and it will be called Rise of Shadows. The newest set will be coming to all available platforms on April 9, and will mark the start of Hearthstone’s first year-long storyline.

Hearthstone remains one of the most popular digital card games in the world, but that space has certainly heated up with the release of Magic Arena....

The front side of an alleged 4.5-inch iOS device with the elongated home button. Click for larger. One would assume case vendors would stop making oversized iPhone cases now that we have a pretty clear picture of the iPhone 4-like design of the iPhone 4S. Not Hard Candy Cases, a mobile accessories company which decided to ramp up manufacturing for a range of cases seemingly designed for a mystery iOS device with a 4....

Albus Dumbledore will go down in history as one of the most iconic literary figures of all time. He certainly ranks up there with Gandalf, who he is often compared and contrasted against. But Dumbledore was the iconic headmaster of Hogwarts whose goal was to defeat Voldemort for good and try to raise Harry to face off against him. Dumbledore has many faults and strengths, regardless of how you feel about his morality, he’s a fascinatingly complex character to be sure....

Severus Snape is one of the most controversial and divisive characters in the Harry Potter series. While many fans loved his redemption arc and found him compelling and redeemable, others feel like he was simply a villain through and through, end of story. But whether you like Snape or not, it’s pretty difficult to deny that Snape was more than capable of some pretty annoying feats and behaviors at times. Sure, he also did some truly awful things, but there are also some less intense actions he engaged in that were really frustrating....

As Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was split into two different parts, it’s able to tell the story in a more in-depth and detailed way. While some of the Harry Potter movie adaptations miss a lot out, Deathly Hallows does a pretty good job at including most things. But, of course, there are some things that didn’t make it to the big screen. Some of these also make it difficult for movie viewers to understand what is going on....

The Unforgivable Curses of Harry Potter are some pretty intimidating magical spells. They’re the most dangerous spells in the series, and illegal for most of it — until the Ministry of Magic becomes corrupt, but that’s another story. They come in three forms: the Imperius, the Cruciatus, and the killing curses. Each of them comes with an incantation and directions, and none ar easy to perform. They take a particularly skilled (and hateful) magical person....
