It went by many nicknames – the “Super NES CD-ROM System,” the “SNES-CD,” the “Nintendo Play Station” – but the gist was irresistible: Super Nintendo games on disc technology developed by Sony. For better or for worse, the system never came to be, and Sony took the much of the technology worked on to create their first PlayStation console, changing the game....

The series starsPaul Ruddas a depressed man who goes to a special spa to be a better person only to be replaced by an improved version of himself while he wakes up naked in a grave.

One of the more exciting elements ofRogue One: A Star Wars Storyis the inclusion of the greatBen Mendelsohnas the icy, clever, and ruthless Director Orson Krennic, the overseer of the Death Star project. Sure, the real win is the visionary style ofGareth Edwardsbut his cast, which also includes major talents likeFelicity Jones,Diego Luna, andRiz Ahmed, sells the picture brilliantly, even when his vision seems to dull parts of the action. Mendelsohn, for his part, creates a fantastic embodiment of how obsession with power can both embolden a person and rot them out from the inside....

Written and directed byRupert Everett, the biographical dramaThe Happy Princefinds Oscar Wilde (expertly played by Everett) on his death bed in a cheap Parisian hotel room, as he flashes back to other times and places in his previously very glamorous life.

Despite being The Chosen One, as he delightfully tellsHermione (Emma Watson)inHarry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, when we think about the achievements that Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) made in the films, he shows little of the ability on display in the books. Yes, Hermione is the best wizard of the trio, but Harry’s greatest glory during his time at Hogwarts had nothing to do with the prophecy or his battle with Voldemort, portrayed byRalph Fiennes....

A specialThe Suicide Squadposter was released today in concert with the film’sDC FanDomepanel, and boy is it an absolute delight. The film is a follow-up/reboot of sorts followingDavid Ayer’s 2016 film, keeping a few characters (Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn,Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang, etc.) but mostly building out a brand new team under the creative direction of writer/directorJames Gunn. Indeed, when Gunn briefly left Marvel over the resurfacing of old, offensive tweets (a dumb decision on Disney’s part, one they reversed weeks later), Warner Bros....

It was a little campy but also a little honest, and it made him a standout in a show that had become increasingly tedious. Unfortunately, he will no longer be flying through time with the waveriding crew. PerDeadline, on last night’s episode ofLoT, “the Time Council revealed to Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) that they have been controlling the Legends actions through a device called the Oculus, aiding Vandal Savage’s rise to power....
