Emily Blunt plays the Practically Perfect nanny Mary Poppins in Disney’s musical sequel Mary Poppins Returns - but does the film have an after-credits scene? It was the Mouse House that first brought author P.L. Travers’ magical nanny to the big screen all the way back in 1964, with Julie Andrews playing the character in a role that ultimately landed her a Best Actress Oscar. However, Travers’ disapproval of Disney’s Mary Poppins adaptation (as detailed in the memoir Saving Mr....

Warning: SPOILERS for Doctor Sleep. A lot of questions were answered in Doctor Sleep., but the movie also introduced an entire set of new questions. Directed by Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House), Doctor Sleep pulls off the magic trick of adapting the 2013 novel by Stephen King while also simultaneously being a sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Although King famously hates Kubrick’s The Shining, the author very much approves of Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep despite the necessary changes that had to be made to reconcile the story with the events in Kubrick’s film....

When Peter Capaldi took over from Matt Smith in 2013, fans experienced a peculiar sensation of whiplash. The Twelfth Doctor was nothing like his predecessor as he was significantly older in appearance and had the temperament of a very grumpy man. No one was sure what to make of him at first. Naturally, over the course of three seasons, the Twelfth Doctor mellowed and allowed his playful side to surface a lot more....

Doctor Who has repeatedly changed the origin story for the Cybermen. As the longest-running science fiction series in TV history, it’s hardly surprising that Doctor Who’s continuity has a few wrinkles. From the Doctor claiming to be half-human to the amount of times a Time Lord can regenerate, the sheer amount of creative minds working on Doctor Who over the past 56 years has resulted in some inconsistencies where certain elements have been rewritten either to serve a more recent narrative, or to undo a particularly restrictive piece of canon....

Doctor Who uses the science fiction elements of time travel in order to explore eras of history that we might not get to see very often. In typical Who fashion, some kind of alien mystery is normally woven into real-world events. Sometimes, these historical episodes are incredibly accurate; other times, they are all over the place and pay little regard to precision. Let’s take a look at five episodes that stayed relatively faithful to history, along with five examples that weren’t exactly accurate when it comes to the portrayal of their historical figures....

Where could Doctor Who’s Ruth Doctor potentially fit into the character’s past line of regenerations? In season 12’s “Fugitive of the Judoon,” Doctor Who shocked audiences by unveiling a brand new iteration of the Doctor that had been hiding on Earth as a human tour guide. Using the chameleon arch, Jo Martin’s Doctor transformed herself from renegade Time Lord to Ruth from Gloucester, expert on cathedral history. Ruth remained undercover until a mysterious pursuer hired the Judoon to track her down, ultimately forcing Ruth to restore her true Gallifreyan self....

As we all know that the internet has a plethora of knowledge as well threats along with it. The internet is not entirely safe as it was before. So you need to take proper care of this. Ransomware is not a regular malware that can infect a system and cause minimal damage. Ransomware can severely infect not only your system but the essential files and documents that are most important. We can say that Ransomware captures a system and transfers or blocks all the data to the host computer....

Doctor Who’s title character is as sharp as a tack, there’s no two ways about it. No matter how impossible a situation seems, the Doctor always has a plan to stop the baddies and save the day. With a brain like his (and now hers), and twice the heart, the Doctor is exactly the kind of person you wouldn’t want to cross. The Doctor and his/her companions always manage to get themselves into scrapes, but on the bright side, they always manage to get themselves out again....

Doctor Who season 12 has teased another new threat - with Captain Jack warning of the Lone Cyberman. There’s a sense in which Doctor Who season 12 is turning into something of a mystery, with myriad plot points that frankly demand further explanation. Who is the Timeless Child? How does Jo Martin’s new/old Doctor fit into the show’s continuity? And how did the Master destroy his homeworld of Gallifrey? The latest episode of Doctor Who, “Fugitive of the Judoon,” added another question to the growing list....

The BBC has issued a response to criticisms about Jodie Whittaker’s casting as the new lead on Doctor Who. Every few years, the BBC has to recast one of their most popular characters. The Doctor from Doctor Who is a Time Lord, an alien who upon dying regenerates into a new body. Since the first time The Doctor regenerated - in 1966 - there have been 13 actors who have had a turn playing the role....

Where does Doctor Who’s latest Master fit into the character’s long history? The Doctor Who season 12 premiere sprung an almighty surprise with the timely return of the Master. Sacha Dhawan spent almost the entire first episode posing as a secret agent called O, pretending to help the Doctor investigate a series of alien attacks on Earth’s spy networks, but the final scene revealed Dhawan was actually the Master. The dastardly Time Lord was behind the entire plot, looking to wipe out humanity and prove his superiority over the Doctor once and for all....

It has been a while since fans got their first look at Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange last December. Since then, new images have been scarce and mostly relegated to concept art. Most of Marvel’s marketing efforts have been focused on the upcoming Captain America: Civil War, since that will be the next MCU film to hit theaters. Now, however, filming for Doctor Strange has begun in London, and while the filmmakers for Star Wars: Episode VIII are able to use counter-drones to keep peeping Toms away from their set, that is not an option when filming in a major metropolitan area....

One of the most famous episodes of Doctor Who, “Blink,” is getting rewritten - to include Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor. Widely viewed as one of the best episodes of Doctor Who ever made, “Blink” was a Doctor-lite episode that starred Carey Mulligan as Sally Sparrow, the greatest Doctor Who companion who never was. “Blink” is fondly remembered as the introduction for the Weeping Angels, an alien race of predators who become immobile whenever you look at them, and who “feed” upon people by transporting them back in time and consuming the temporal energy of the resulting paradoxes....

Doctor Sleep is a sequel to both The Shining film and novel, and it achieved this by changing and explaining The Shining movie’s ending. Stephen King’s novel Doctor Sleep was published in 2013 and is a sequel to one of his most famous works: The Shining, published in 1977. The story follows adult Danny Torrance as he deals with the trauma from that winter at the Overlook Hotel and with a new menace that is targeting those with exceptional “shining” abilities....

The runtime for Doctor Sleep has been confirmed, and it’s longer than The Shining. Published in 1977, Stephen King’s The Shining tells the story of an unstable author named Jack Torrance who goes over the edge, much to the dismay of his wife and son, while serving as the winter overseer of a remote mountain hotel. The story hit movie screens in 1980, with legendary director Stanley Kubrick at the helm, and went on to be considered a horror classic – despite King’s objections to the adaptation....

The Doctor will come face to face with his past in the Doctor Who Christmas special. A new teaser trailer released at San Diego Comic-Con, also reveals the episode will be titled ‘Twice Upon a Time.’ Doctor Who season ten ended with the current Doctor, Peter Capaldi, desperately trying to stave off his regeneration. Stumbling from the TARDIS, he went outside and plunged his hands into the snow, stating he wasn’t ready to go....

Doctor Strange’s director, Scott Derrickson, has joined Marvel’s other directors in praising the Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Infinity War. The film has garnered praise from fans and Marvel professionals alike. It’s not hard to see why, as Avengers: Infinity War not only delivered incredible emotional punches, it also effectively set up Ant-Man and the Wasp, the next film on Marvel’s Cinematic Universe slate. The beginning of Marvel’s closing salvo has shaken the 14 billion dollar franchise to its core, resolving plotlines and making it a worthy near-conclusion for the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

Doctor Doom should be the first Fox character to make his way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Kirby back in 1962, Victor von Doom is one of Marvel’s most iconic super-villains. He stands above almost every other Marvel super-villain, a remarkably well-developed character with the power to threaten the entire Marvel Universe. Until recently, the film rights to Doctor Doom had sat with Fox, who used him as the chief antagonist in all three of their Fantastic Four movies....

One of the biggest challenges that Marvel and director Scott Derrickson had when they were making and developing Doctor Strange, was how they were going to visualize the mystical arts and alternate worlds that The Sorcerer Supreme ventures into on the big screen, especially based on the revolutionary artwork from a majority of the original comic books. Luckily, if there was one thing that the film didn’t have a shortage of, it was great mind-bending visual effects and action sequences, most of which were praised as being the strongest aspects of the film (and have now been nominated for an Oscar no less)....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has thus far provided us with heroes of all kinds, everything from alien gods to determined humans aided by technology or scientific experimentation. While many of the Avengers’ powers bend our concept of reality, the MCU debut of Doctor Strange later this year will take that to another levitation-cloaked-level. Cinematographer Ben Davis has even dubbed the upcoming Marvel film the “Fantasia of the MCU.” Director Scott Derrickson (Sinister) will be sticking to the title character’s traditional comic book origin story with Doctor Strange: after a debilitating car accident, former surgeon Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) turns his brilliant mind to the mystical arts, studying with the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) in order to become the Sorcerer Supreme....
