Several new villains in Doctor Who season 12 have been suspiciously similar to the iconic Time Lord’s previous enemies. There’s a general consensus among Doctor Who fans that the current season is a marked improvement on Jodie Whittaker’s debut, with a better mix of stories, the introduction of the Ruth Doctor and the return of some classic baddies. This final point has been an issue of particular importance, since season 11 featured no familiar enemies at all until the New Year’s Day special, and the presence of the Master, the Judoon and the Cybermen has been most welcome this time around....

Like all good science fiction, Doctor Who delves into commentary on the past and present of our culture from time to time. Given the series’ emphasis on time travel, it is particularly well suited to deliver stories that can cut at humankind’s history as well as its future, and that’s a lot of room to run around and play in. In other words, no topic is too big or too small for the Doctor and his companion to tackle in some round about way or another....

Hollywood is far removed from the days silent films were played in front of live orchestras. Now, when it comes to the superhero genre, sound mixing and sound editing tend to carry more weight than actual film scores. Sure, explosions, car crashes, and all other manner of cacophony pull viewers into the action, but there’s something to be said of a score that leads the audience through a film. What would Star Wars or Harry Potter be without the iconic music of John Williams; or The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly without Ennio Morricone?...

DockCase is back with its latest product, a USB-C M.2 SSD enclosure. The device packs some great SSD protection and monitoring features into a sleek metal and glass enclosure with a small screen to keep you updated on your SSD’s health. But are these features worth the $99 price (only $69 on Kickstarter), or are you better off looking elsewhere? The SSD enclosure comes with a removable USB-C to USB-C cable with a convenient built-in USB-A adapter....

Director Mike Flanagan’s Stephen King adaptation Doctor Sleep bombed at the box office, but deserved much better treatment from audiences. One thing a lot of horror fans complain about nowadays is a glut of remakes and reboots that offer nothing audiences haven’t seen onscreen before, and films opting to go the PG-13 route, not fully embracing the potential for violence and disturbing material an R-rating offers. While it is based on a book, Doctor Sleep offered horror devotees a story that hadn’t been adapted before, a talented cast, no shortage of R-rated material, and a chance to revisit some locations and characters from the beloved movie version of The Shining....

Doctor Sleep is the latest major release on the calendar, but how much did it cost to make? Directed by Mike Flanagan, the film is both an adaptation of Stephen King’s original novel and a sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, making it quite the interesting work. It stars Ewan McGregor as an adult Danny Torrance, who protects a young girl from the villainous True Knot - a group of people who prey on youngsters with special abilities....

Mortal Shell is an upcoming RPG video game. Cold Symmetry developed it, and Playstack published this game. This game is going to release on 18 August 2020 and will be available on Epic Game Store. Now the main question arises, whether the game will support Co-Op cooperative multiplayer or not? Well, we have a perfect answer to this most searched question on the web. We will be looking at Mortal Shell deep throughout this guide....

When Doctor Who concluded its ninth season at the end of 2015, the current Doctor, Peter Capaldi, was left without a companion in the TARDIS. Jenna Coleman, who played Clara Oswald, left the show in order to work on another BBC drama, leaving fans wondering who could replace “The Impossible Girl”. Various rumors have surfaced since; not only about who the companion might be, but also over when they could appear....

Many people enjoy the amazing features that Snapchat offers, especially privacy. There is a lot of fun on Snapchat, and most of its users are teens who are on the constant task of gathering more Snapchat friends. On Snapchat, people have various ways through which they can add you as their friend. The question people ask is whether they can know how someone added them on Snapchat. This guide dives into understanding how you can add someone on Snapchat....

Doctor Sleep features a particularly violent and shocking scene involving the death of a child, but it’s essential to the film’s plot. Stephen King’s books often feature children in prominent roles, and Doctor Sleep is no different. However, one side effect of making children prominent in a horror story is that sometimes those characters die, and watching a child die is something most viewers find very difficult to do. It’s understandable, as someone dying young is one of the greater tragedies that can happen in real life....

The 1996 Doctor Who TV movie, starring Paul McGann, was a complete failure - despite the franchise as a whole being acclaimed. It’s easy to forget that Doctor Who wasn’t always a success. By the 1980s, viewing figures had been dropping for years, and hostile executives at the BBC sought to cancel the show outright. In 1989, they had their wish, and Sylvester McCoy’s Seventh Doctor stepped into the TARDIS alongside his companion Ace for the last time....

The absence of his lightsaber is the first intriguing part of this mystery. After losing his father’s old weapon along with his hand during the duel with Vader on Cloud City, Luke constructed a new, green-bladed lightsaber. Some fans think that saber was lost when the second Death Star was destroyed, but it can clearly be seen on the young Jedi’s belt during the party with Ewoks on the Endor moon, and it also shows up in Shattered Empire, the only canonical post Return of the Jedi story explicitly featuring Luke Skywalker other than The Force Awakens....

If rumors of a surprise Doctor Who Christmas special next month are true, it would be a fantastic move after the divisive response to Jodie Whittaker’s debut season. Festive episodes have become somewhat of a tradition in the land of Doctor Who ever since the iconic science fiction series was regenerated in 2005. For 12 uninterrupted years between 2005 and 2017, Britain’s favorite Time Lord joined viewers for their Christmas Day celebrations in adventures such as “The Runaway Bride” and “The Time of the Doctor,” also popping up on New Years Day 2010 for the second part of David Tennant’s swansong, “The End of Time....

Doctor Strange told the story of one of Marvel’s most unique superheroes, and the film’s distinctive premise helped it stand out when it first hit theaters. Director Scott Derrickson’s stunning visuals and Benedict Cumberbatch’s charismatic lead performance as Dr. Stephen Strange has left the superhero in surprisingly high demand in the wake of Doctor Strange’s success. Cumberbatch is reprising his role as the Sorcerer Supreme in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok and The Avengers: Infinity War as part of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

The upcoming Doctor Who season 11 continues to break new ground for the series as the new season will feature the first writers of color to ever work for the show. The new season will see more diversity, both inside and outside of the TARDIS. It’s hard to believe that in the long history of Doctor Who, no writers of color have ever worked for the series. But in looking at its history, the writer’s room has never been that diverse....

Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness finds a new writer in Loki showrunner Michael Waldron. The Doctor Strange sequel found itself without a director last month, after original helmsman Scott Derrickson stepped down over creative differences. It’s been speculated the filmmaker, who was best known for his work in the horror genre before directing the original Doctor Strange, wanted to take the sequel further into the realm of horror than Marvel Studios was comfortable with....

Paramount’s Dora and the Lost City of Gold adapts Nickelodeon’s Dora the Explorer animated TV show to live-action - but does it have a post-credits scene setting up a sequel? Hollywood has taken to adapting animated movies and TV series to live-action for big screen outings, like Disney’s The Lion King, and another of these is Dora and the Lost City of Gold. The movie is set 10 years after the TV show, as a 16-year-old Dora (Isabela Moner) is sent to live with her cousin Diego (Jeff Wahlberg) in California and attend public school....

Noah Hawley’s Doctor Doom script is almost complete. Despite the looming potential acquisition by The Walt Disney Company, 20th Century Fox is still operating as normal (as they should). This has resulted in news continuing to surface about new projects from the studio, or allow for previous projects to continue gestating. This has especially proven to be true with their Marvel-licensed characters, and this practice keeps the chance of a Doctor Doom solo movie alive....

Stephen Strange is officially coming back for Doctor Strange 2 in Marvel Studios’ upcoming Phase 4. Avengers: Endgame marked the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we’ve come to know it and gave closure to the arcs of some of the original Avengers while also making way for new stories for the rest of the heroes. With Spider-Man: Far From Home marking the end of the MCU’s Phase 3, there’s plenty of room for other heroes to step up....
