The devil of any Quentin Tarantino movie is in the details, and that’s truer than ever when it comes to Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. The auteur’s ninth film celebrated Los Angeles’ past with incredibly accurate recreations while also reimagining some of its darker history, and audiences reacted remarkably well. With the digital version of the film being made available and 4K, DVD and Blu-ray packages arriving on December 10, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment showcased some of the gorgeous costume pieces for members of the press....

In the third episode of Arrow, Oliver Queen walked into a mechanic’s garage and started speaking fluent Russian to the men he found there. It was a bit of a shock, seeing as the show had already established that he had been a very poor student who never finished college. Adding to the confusion was the moment when Ollie revealed a tattoo on his chest and said “I am Bratva” in Russian....

There’s no shortage of live-action and inter-connected universes based on comic books. Between the MCU, the DCEU, and even FOX’s continuity nightmare that is their X-Men Universe, it’s not hard to get a superhero fix. For all the options out there though, the Arrowverse on The CW might be the best. The universe that started with the very grounded Arrow and now spans various dimensions isn’t perfect. Each of the four shows (and counting) have their ups and downs....

Asher tries to get by on the talent of its leads, but it’s a dull thriller hamstrung by sloppy pacing and a poorly-constructed screenplay. An official selection at the 2018 Sitges Film Festival, Asher is the latest film from director Michael Caton-Jones (Basic Instinct 2, The Jackal). Starring Ron Perlman as the titular character, it looks to provide yet another riff on the tried and true aging hitman sub-genre, giving fans of crime movies an interesting alternative as the holiday movie season heats up....

It is no secret that movies based on video games do not have the greatest track record, with most people agreeing that there has never been a good video game movie ever made. Warcraft was the latest attempt at cracking the genre, but instead suffered from harsh reviews and a lackluster performance at the box office. The pressure of turning around this genre has now shifted to Assassin’s Creed, prior to its release at the end of this year....

You know how we feel about MMS. It is an outdated technology that ties your communication to a carrier and doesn’t offer many of the benefits of email, let alone more modern technologies like IM. That being said, we know a lot of you out there can’t wait to get your hands on it. AT&T’s official launch date is September 25th, a few weeks beyond the “Late Summer” release promised at WWDC....

Now fans of both Avatar and Star Wars can start counting down the days until they can visit Pandora and Tatooine from within the comfort and safety of a Disney Park....

Australia’s three biggest banks are claiming that Apple is in breach of antitrust laws by not allowing third-party mobile payment apps to use the NFC chip used by Apple Pay for contactless payment. Reuters reports that the banks have initially requested permission from regulators to jointly negotiate with Apple – ironically, because they might themselves be in breach of antitrust laws if they clubbed together to negotiate without clearance to do so …...

Many would be stunned to learn that there’s a secret connection between the television series Arrow and the music of Bruce Springsteen, beyond both The Boss and Oliver Queen sharing a love of social justice. Yet there is a tradition which binds the two shows, with the penultimate episode of every season of Arrow taking its name from a classic Bruce Springsteen song. The tradition was started by Executive Producer and self-described Springsteen super-fan Marc Guggenheim....
