‘Witchboard’ Summons a Fun but Uneven Remake of a Cult Classic

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-03 00:00:48

Released in 1986, the original Witchboard‘s cultural impact lingers mostly because it stars Tawny Kitaen—known more for being a music-video vixen than an actor. But the stunt casting works: her character’s Ouija board curiosity turns tragic when an evil spirit takes a shine to her, possibly lured in by her perfectly teased hair. The movie delivers more cheese than frights, but you can easily see why it became a cult classic. Less clear is why Witchboard needed a remake, especially one that only

The Google Pixel 10 Pro is boring…and I’m buying it

We are just a week away from Google’s official reveal of the Pixel 10 series. I’ve been using the Pixel 9 Pro as my daily driver since it launched last year, and it’s not just my favorite phone of 2024, but possibly my favorite phone…ever. Now, as the rumor mill churns at full speed for the Pixel 10 launch on August 20, the overall consensus for the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro is that it is going to be, in a word, boring.

iPhone 17 Pro could redefine Apple’s Pro color strategy

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-03 10:08:06

After two years of titanium iPhone Pro models and many more years of stainless steel, Apple is rumored to be switching to aluminum for the iPhone 17 Pro. Titanium, instead, will be used on the ultra thin iPhone 17 Air. That may seem like a step away from premium materials for the Pro model. For anyone bored by variations of gray for Apple’s best iPhones, however, it appears to be good news. The reason comes down to color.

Insta360 Antigravity A1 drone preview: A 360-degree FPV drone unlike anything else

If DJI is entering the 360-degree action camera market, why shouldn't Insta360 venture into drones? That was my immediate thought when the company announced its first drone, the A1, from a spin-off brand and team called Antigravity. So, what is the A1? Is it an entry-level device? A camera for creators looking to spice up their videos without years of practice? A competitive POV drone? It’s a bit of all three, but the Antigravity A1 isn’t just a drone.
