Acting and script aside, one of the most important aspects of any film is its soundtrack. Done right, an original score for a movie can enhance the whole thing, get it wrong and it can appear out of place and intrusive. For movies such as Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, getting the soundtrack right is perhaps even more crucial since many scenes will rely heavily on the build up of music to reflect the action happening on the screen....

Anticipation for Zach Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice has not abated of late, as fans of the film’s two featured characters continue to stoke the fires of a communal imagination hoping for the very best from the forthcoming climactic meeting from the two most recognizable superheroes in the DC Extended Universe film canon. It has already been reported that Snyder’s follow-up to his 2013 Superman film Man of Steel is already expected to clear between $100 and $140 million during its opening weekend, with an even grander R-rated home video cut of the film already in the works....

Avid is best known for its Pro Tools software, the music industry’s leading DAW used by pros worldwide, and it is the biggest competitor to Apple’s Logic Pro, but perhaps just as popular among Mac musicians is Avid’s consumer M-Audio brand. It offers midi controllers, keyboards, audio interfaces, speakers, and DJ gear. Today, Avid announced that it will sell off its consumer audio and video product lines to focus on “Media Enterprise and Post & Professional customers and to drive improved operating performance....

2008 brought us one of the greatest superhero movies of all time - The Dark Knight. From the opening bank heist to the closing moments, we were given heroes and villains that felt more brutal and flawed than ever. The gritty sequel to Batman Begins found Batman as a character who was stuck between multiple mentalities. He longs for Rachel, the love of his life, but he cannot put his vigilante activities to rest…they are his core....

Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame is officially the most tweeted about film ever. The latest film in the MCU is doing exceptionally well, also becoming the third highest rated movie on IMDb in less than a week. There is simply no stopping the continued impact of Endgame. It is the first film to cross the $1 billion mark in its opening weekend. To put that in perspective, it took Star Wars: The Force Awakens 12 days to achieve $1 billion....

On Monday night’s episode of Dancing With the Stars, a familiar face from Bachelor Nation appeared in the audience. Former Bachelor Colton Underwood attended this week’s taping to show some loud and proud support for his ex, Hannah Brown. Even though their romance didn’t work out, Underwood and Brown’s friendly relationship means he’s definitely rooting for her to dominate this season. Underwood starred on the 23rd season of The Bachelor as the franchise’s leading gentleman....

The Bachelorette star Hannah Brown admitted to having sex with one of the contestants in a windmill, twice, during the filming of the show. The 24-year-old apparently didn’t want to wait until the Fantasy Suites to take things to the next level with one of her suitors. By now, fans of The Bachelorette have likely seen clips of Brown - who originally appeared on Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor - reaming out controversial contestant Luke Parker for sex-shaming her....

Before today, the latest versions of Word, PowerPoint, and Excel for OS X came with Office for Mac 2011, a suite of productivity apps which you can tell from the name included dated software without many modern features Mac users expect. Office for Mac 2011 was actually first released in October 2010. A lot has changed since then. Microsoft moved Office from a paid upgrade approach to a cloud subscription model, saw its CEO Steve Ballmer retire and buy a basketball team, appointed Satya Nadella as head of the company, and even released Office for iPad and iPhone....

DC’s flagship Batman series is about to go into overdrive. Writer James Tynion IV may have only been on the series for a few issues but already he is gearing up for something big. This May’s Batman #95 will mark the beginning of “Joker War,” a story described as the final chapter in the story between the Dark Knight and the Clown Prince of Crime! The first issue of “Joker War” will be written by Tynion with art by Jorge Jimenez....

As development continues on the mysterious upcoming Batman video game, recent leaks all but confirm that the title will be a soft reboot of the successful Arkham series. Although no information can be found through Rocksteady, the studio responsible for every Arkham title excluding Arkham Origins, WB Games Montreal, piqued the interest of Batman fans last September (on Batman Day) by tweeting a short video featuring hidden images reminiscent of the League of Assassins....

The first look at the Batmobile from The Batman movie was recently released, and it’s a much better reveal than the first look at Ben Affleck’s Batman and Batmobile. Just a short period of time after debuting a first-look at Pattinson’s Batsuit, director Matt Reeves dropped a number of images that showed off the newest cinematic version of the Batmobile. These photos depicted a sleeker version of the Batmobile compared to the more tank-esque designs seen in the Batmobiles driven by Ben Affleck and Christian Bale in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and The Dark Knight trilogy, respectively....

The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will continue to diversify, and the ending of Avengers: Endgame may help establish this. As successful as Marvel Studios has been over the last eleven years, one of the main criticisms to fall upon the shoulders of the studio and the MCU was the lack of diversity, especially in leading roles. It hasn’t been until recently that women and people of color have been put in lead roles, through Captain Marvel and Black Panther respectively - and both earned over $1 billion at the box office....

A typical computer forensics expert works for law enforcement agencies and works on cases concerning offenses committed on the Internet (‘cyber crime’) and examine computers that may have been involved in other types of crime to find evidence of illegal activity. The unique and sensitive nature of work performed by cyber forensics expert made their job highly demanding must for many organizations that are dealing with user’s confidential or personal information....

Bad Boys 4 Life has rounded out its supporting cast. Bad Boys 4 Life is the first entry in the series since Bad Boys II back in 2003, which in turn came eight years after the original movie, and it hasn’t been for lack of trying that the third movie has taken this long to come together. Michael Bay stated back in 2008 that he still wanted to make another sequel to Bad Boys, but his heavy involvement in the Transformers movies saw him eventually exit the project....

Avengers: Endgame’s newest LEGO set reveals the team’s redesigned Quinjet. Used by the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to travel for their missions, the aircraft is S.H.I.E.L.D.’s technologically advanced jet that has unique flying capabilities thanks to their specially crafted swings that have turbine fans. Over the years, they started to become equipped with weaponry, making them more useful in combat. With just less than three months before hitting theaters, a slew of tie-in merchandise for Endgame is potentially giving fans an idea about what to expect in the film following the events of Avengers: Infinity War....

Mistakes happen all the time and every film has a couple of them, but Avengers: Endgame has a very peculiar (and kinda fun) mistake during the final battle against Thanos’ army, in which two Cull Obsidians can be seen… in the same shot. The Marvel Cinematic Universe began its run in 2008 with Iron Man, and its first arc reached its highest point with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, bringing together all the current superheroes to fight Thanos and his army....

The battle royale subgenre of games is already something of a monolith in the industry, but it could get even bigger next year with an estimate of $20 billion earned in 2019. At the moment, the battle royale market is being dominated by a handful of games, with Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds divvying up player bases between them in spite of that controversial lawsuit attempt. The pair are not the only two battle royale games available at the minute, but things are going to get much more competitive in 2019....

Avengers: Infinity War has become just the fourth film in history to hit $2 billion at the worldwide box office. Billed as the culmination of the MCU’s first 10 years of interconnected storytelling, the epic crossover event was unquestioningly 2018’s most anticipated title and its commercial performance more than reflects that. Shattering the all-time opening weekend record as it entered theaters at the end of April, Infinity War proceeded to rewrite the record books during its run as it marched towards this latest milestone....

Major spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War. - Avengers: Infinity War has one of the most shocking endings of not just the MCU, but the entire superhero genre. Today we’re going to break down how that cliffhanger came to be and what it means for Marvel movies going forward. As the marketing has made heavily clear, Infinity War is everything the ten-year Marvel Studios experiment has been building up to, dubbed repeatedly as a “culmination”....
