Expert Tips for Sleeping Comfortably at Night While Pregnant With an Active Baby

We all need quality sleep to function properly during the day, but it gets even more important when you're pregnant. The irony? That's also when sleep gets harder. With a lot of nighttime activity in the womb, you can get less sleep at a time when you need more sleep. A recent Reddit thread also shows many moms-to-be experiencing the same, leading to more fatigue during the day. I spoke to several experts to see why this tends to be a common experience among expectant parents, and they shared so

The new War of the Worlds movie is even more terrible than you’ve heard but also hilarious

There’s a micro-genre of film called “screenlife movies,” where all of the action takes place on a desktop computer. In 2014, Unfriended made a horror movie out of video chat and text messages, and it was successful enough to inspire a sequel. The more thoughtful Searching from 2018, in which a father attempts to find his missing daughter, felt novel and a bit more promising for the genre, even if an hour and a half really tested the amount of time you could look at a scrunched John Cho and Mac

Do We Have to Bring Johnny Depp Back to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, Actually?

Back in 2003, when Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl first hit theaters, it was a pleasant surprise. A movie based on a Disney ride—in a time when pirate movies weren’t exactly riding high—it was highly entertaining, made a zillion dollars, and earned Johnny Depp his first Oscar nomination. Four sequels of varying quality followed, but despite many rumblings since Dead Men Tell No Tales in 2017, Pirates has yet to relaunch. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is now saying there migh

James Cameron Wants to Remind You That Generative AI Is a Threat

As the industry behind generative AI keeps touting its evolution, Hollywood stands on a precipice to see just who’s going to be first to break ground leveraging the controversial technology in film production (although, reportedly, not for a lack of trying and failing behind the scenes). But for James Cameron, at least, the current will-they-won’t-they approach is untenable—and the filmmaker believes that studios have to start getting a grip with the technology now, before it irrevocably damages

Why AI Shouldn’t Replace Historians Anytime Soon

Microsoft recently released a study about the types of jobs most likely to be augmented by AI in the future. It led many people to assume those are the jobs that will soon be replaced by machines, and since “historian” ranked second highest on the list, it raised more than a few eyebrows among historians on social media. But after I tested generative AI tools with some historical facts, it seems like historians shouldn’t worry too much about the robots taking over just yet. At the very least, th

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Will Return to Theaters for a Sing-Along Special

If you’ve been wanting to see KPop Demon Hunters on the big screen, then good news—especially if you can’t stop singing Huntr/X’s best hits to yourself.

Tickets for Netflix’s hit film are being sold for screenings currently slated for Saturday, August 23, and Sunday, August 24. These showings will be sing-along events, meaning lyrics for the movie’s songs will pop up on screen for

Here’s How to Watch the Original Naked Gun Movies in Order in One Convenient Place

The Naked Gun series was a staple in my household when I was growing up. I rented the movies so regularly that my parents gave me the trilogy on DVD for Christmas one year. So when a reboot, or legacy sequel, titled The Naked Gun was announced, I was excited. And apparently, I wasn't the only one -- according to Box Office Mojo, the film generated nearly $17 million at the box office domestically in its opening weekend. Plus, The Naked Gun 2025 has a whopping 90% critic rating and 76% audience s

The Ending of ‘Weapons’ Is Very Personal to Zach Cregger

You can’t watch a movie like Weapons and not sense that parts of it come from deep within a person. The portrayals of family, fear, and loss—it’s all heartbreaking and scary even before you get to the chills and thrills. Writer-director Zach Cregger fully admits the film was written as a way for him to cope with the loss of a good friend, but his personal connections to the material go even beyond that. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Cregger talked about some of the big reveals in the final act of th

Creating the Longest Possible Ski Jump in “The Games: Winter Challenge”

Zach Cregger’s Dream DC Movie Would Take After a Great ‘Batman’ Episode

Zach Cregger’s got Weapons out this weekend, but the man apparently never stops working. Not only is he working on a new Resident Evil movie, but he’s also cooked up an idea for DC Studios that we now know a little bit more about.

James Cameron Will Keep Making ‘Avatar’ Movies Whether You Want Him to or Not

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Cameron talked about why he is so committed to the world of Avatar and it’s not (just) because the films make the big bucks every time one is rel

A Misconfiguration That Haunts Corporate Streaming Platforms Could Expose Sensitive Data

Top streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ have made sustained investments over the years to lock their content down. Whenever they can, they prevent users from accessing videos without a subscription or watching region-blocked content. New findings presented today at the Defcon security conference in Las Vegas, though, indicate that streaming platforms used for things like internal corporate broadcasts and sports livestreams can contain basic design flaws that allow anyone to access a vast

Zach Cregger’s first major film Barbarian was tense and frightening, but it was also infused with a healthy dose of absurdity. The movie’s twisted sense of humor made it easier to stomach its grotesque violence and a bit more difficult to anticipate how its unhinged story would unfold. But Barbarian also worked surprisingly well as a
