The Wizard of Oz is landing on the Vegas strip at the Sphere this summer, and it’s not without some controversy. The Warner Bros. classic Technicolor feature starring Judy Garland is being presented in a special limited engagement at the massive spherical stadium venue in Las Vegas, presumably in between music artist residencies. The state-of-the-art immersive entertainment center made its debut as a must-visit attraction with rock band U2. Now in a new venture, the Sphere collaborates with Wa

You can't use Apple Pay or Google Pay if you're shopping in-store at Walmart. Kativ/Getty Images When I stop by Walmart on my way home from the gym, I don't always have my wallet on me.

‘M3GAN 2.0’ Is an Antihero Upgrade, But at a Cost

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-09-01 04:01:18

M3GAN 2.0 delivers a bloody slay of a sequel, one that elevates Blumhouse’s sci-fi horror darling and gives its icon an action-packed upgrade–one that works, albeit at the expense of the original’s horror roots. You can’t keep a killer down, or a killer doll for that matter, as the end of the first film teased, as 2.0 opens with M3GAN (voiced by Jenna Davis, and physically portrayed by Amie Donald) having taken refuge in the cloud after he defeat.

I Watched ‘Jurassic World Dominion: Extended Version’ So You Don’t Have To

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-01 11:51:37

If you’ve ever been curious to see the impact of editing on a movie, the extended version of Jurassic World Dominion is a fascinating case. Clocking in 14 minutes longer than the original film, the extended version (which is streaming on Peacock) is somehow both better and worse than its predecessor at the exact same time. The new scenes add welcome scope and pathos to the film, taking a movie that was all over the place and giving it some welcome focus. However, those scenes are also poison to

M3GAN 2.0 review: The AI camp queen pulls a Terminator 2

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-01 14:00:49

M3GAN was an unexpected hit, and for good reason: It was the best killer toy horror film since Child's Play, combining comedy and camp with a meme-worthy android lead. For the sequel, writer/director Gerard Johnstone (working off a story from him and the first film's writer Akela Cooper), have taken a few notes from Terminator 2. This time around, there's an even more evil android on the scene (Amelia, played by Ivanna Sakhno) who wants AI to rule the world. And there's only one somewhat less ev

Zombie Dong Will Return in ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’

Two topics of conversation dominated the opening weekend of Danny Boyle’s new film, 28 Years Later. One, that wild ending that introduced a seemingly out-of-place controversial new character. And two was the sheer amount, and size, of the penises seen in the film. Throughout 28 Years Later, the Rage virus-infected zombies that run around the mainland are all naked.

One of the Most Surprising Moments in ‘Elio’ Feels Right Out of a Horror Movie

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-09-03 11:00:43

Pixar’s latest is a sci-fi gem that homages the genre in a surprisingly dark way. Elio directors Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian even dip into space horror for one of the film’s most memorable scenes. It was so unexpected for a Disney family film and worked so cleverly in the context of the movie, it left me wanting more of this tone in the future of Pixar films. Early in the film, an Elio clone made by the Comuniverse is sent to Earth so his aunt doesn’t notice the real Elio is gone. The clon
