Screen mirroring from an iPhone to a Chromebook lets you show your phone’s screen on a larger display. This is useful for presentations, streaming content, or expanding your workspace. To do this, you need to download a compatible app on your iPhone, like Vysor or Mirroring 360, and sometimes a corresponding receiver app on the Chromebook. Once both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, the setup process is simple and guides you through the connection....

Apologies in advance for the sound quality on this one, but we couldn’t resist sharing Eric Bauza’s excellent voice-work. With the launch of HBO Max today comes a new batch ofLooney Tunes Cartoons. The Warner Bros. Animation serieshonors both the long history that came before it and brings a fresh new energy to classic characterslike Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Marvin the Martian, and Tweety. Voicing those characters is the one-and-onlyEric Bauza, the Emmy-nominated voice-actor who has long been a part of theLooney Tunes(and other famous franchise) story but now gets to step into the cartoonishly large shoes of the lateMel Blanc....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t just superheroes interacting with other superheroes. The notion of a “universe” is that the actions of some characters leave a permanent impression on the surrounding world. The idea is that when these characters do something, it isn’t just forgotten or ignored, but rather it must be reckoned with. That’s why some people findIron Man 3to be such an infuriating experience. If Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr....

Nicolas Cageis getting into the superhero game later this year with Sony’s animated Marvel featureSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. But Cage rarely restricts himself to simply performing a role as written; he’s got to inject 100% Cage into each and every part he plays. So while it remains to be seen just how big a role he’ll have in the big-screen retelling of Miles Morales' spider-journey, Cage is going to make the most of it....

While speaking at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic,Stellan Skarsgårdtalked about his relationship with Swedish cinematic legendIngmar Bergman, and he didn’t mince his words. Skarsgård, who is at the venerable film festival to support his latest film,Sentimental Value, noted Bergman’s skill while also discussing his manipulative ways, and tied it back to Bergman’s controversial past as a Nazi supporter during World War II. Bergman directed Skarsgård inHustruskolan, a 1983 Swedish TV adaptation ofMolière’s playThe School for Wives....

It feels rare that we get a middlebrow, feel-good, low-stakes comedy nowadays. Films in the ilk ofWine Country,Book Club, or anything byNancy Meyersfeel too far and in between now. However, according toDeadline,Susan Sarandon,Bette Midler, andMegan Mullallyare attached to star in a wedding/road trip comedy titledThe Fabulous Four.Jocelyn Moorhouse(The Dressmaker) is currently attached to direct the project. The film follows a pair of life-long friends, played by Sarandon and Mullally, as they travel to Key West to be bridesmaids to their college girlfriend, played by Midler, who is getting married in a surprise ceremony....

With guns, explosions, and an intricate web full of secrets - the world of espionage isn’t exactly the most conducive place to foster a blossoming relationship. And yet, somehow, filmmakers have done just that, showcasing relationships that thrive on the life or death stakes. Perhaps it stems from the adrenaline boost or maybe it’s the desire for light in an otherwise dreary industry; but spy couples are some of the most intriguing couples, even despite their tragedies....

The eight-episode HBO Max streaming seriesThe Flight Attendantfollows Cassie Bowden (Kaley Cuoco, who’s also an executive producer), a flight attendant whose life is such a mess that when she wakes up in a hotel with a dead man (Michiel Huisman), she has no idea what happened and has to start trying to put her life back together. Without all of the pieces to the puzzle, she turns to friends (Rosie Perez,Zosia Mamet) and family (T....

WHEW. Well that was a heck of a ride. All season long,The Handmaid’s Talehas been lauded as a harrowing and cautionary tale against extremism, and it certainly delivered. It has been about what happens when fear overtakes a society, and a desire for isolationism and religious fundamentalism (or in this case, just crazy-pants rules and brutality) allowing for the creation of an oppressive regime. Some of the most terrifying sequences inHandmaidwere its quietest — flashbacks to before the rise of Gilead where then-June (Elisabeth Moss), Luke (O-T Fagbenle), and Moira (Samira Wiley) talked about how fast everything happened....

Desperate Housewiveschanged the scope of television when we were welcomed into the neighborhood of Wisteria Lane in 2004. Created byMarc Cherry, the series followed a group of women, “housewives”, who consistently found themselves elbow-deep in dirty laundry — and not the machine-washable kind. The series started off with a bang — literally, when Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) committed suicide for unknown reasons. She’s our narrator for the series and through her, we follow her friends, Gabrielle (Eva Longoria), Susan (Teri Hatcher), Bree (Marcia Cross), and Lynette (Felicity Huffman) as they try to uncover the reason behind her suicide, all the while balancing their own messy dramas....

Week 7 ofThe Masked Singerhas come and gone, revealing Godmother of SoulPatti LaBelleas the person trapped beneath the tepid, sweat-drenched mask of The Flower. The 75-year-old icon of American music was forced to stand next toNick Cannonfor nearly two entire months and listen toJenny McCarthy, who as far as I know has never been in the same room as a musical instrument, critique her performance as she stared out at an ocean of faces that could not pick her out of a lineup if they watched her Gluttony murder their parents with a stack of Patti LaBelle’s Fancy Cakes....

Gangster moviesare one of cinema’s most tried and true genres, populated by slick and larger-than-life anti-heroes that make being so bad look so good. Who among the film-watching population hasn’t stared into a mirror, fingers pointed like mock pistols and uttered, “You talkin' to me?” While many may point to films likeGoodfellasorCasinoas the quintessential gangster flick due to their shockingly violent scenes, the violence in these movies is more of a backdrop for what are stories about mafia culture and the characters that inhabited that life....
