Writer-director Alex Garland says he has no interest in making a sequel to Annihilation, his critically praised 2018 sci-fi horror film starring Natalie Portman. After establishing his sci-fi credentials tackling writing duties on films from Sunshine to Never Let Me Go to Dredd, Garland made the leap to directing with Ex Machina, the 2014 film starring Alicia Vikander as an android who develops sentience. After the success of Ex Machina, Garland next tackled Annihilation, an adaptation of the Jeff VanderMeer novel about a group of female scientist-soldiers entering a forbidden zone and encountering a deadly alien threat....

If you want a single line, that will cost you $70/month....

As a result, Emily has returned to a life that’s been shattered by the circumstances of her capture. Case in point, her husband Nick (Patrick Heusinger) is now remarried and her son, Flynn (Patrick McAuley) is torn between to women: the mother he thought he’d lost and the new one he’d gained....

Background The idea is that Matter will be a major boon to smart home adoption and popularity. It works by giving accessories cross-platform capabilities without nearly as much overhead as before. For instance, this means that if a device is Matter-compatible, then it is effectively HomeKit-compatible, too. There is only support for Matter via WiFi, not Thread Only compatible with Android devices Only supported accessory types: smart plugs, smart bulbs, and smart switches Additionally, the delay of an iOS Matter-compatible Alexa app is due to “Apple requiring apps to use new APIs that only just became available,” says DeCenzo....

Well, things are a little complicated sometimes. We buy a smartphone and then add a new email id to protect our identity from Google. Later we may end up resetting our device and get stuck on Google verification, where we don’t even remember the password of our email id, which we used on the device to protect our identity. Even a few buy second-hand devices and then try to reset the device, and it will ask for Google verification of the old buyer; this problem is most common nowadays....

The Department of Homeland Security found that almost all apps used by emergency professionals have vulnerabilities. Of the 33 popular first responder apps tested, all but one was found to raise potential security and privacy concerns – and more than half had ‘critical flaws’ … The DHS explained the reason for the checks. The results were far from reassuring. The good news is that 14 of the apps have been fixed, with one surprising piece of news....

Every Quentin Tarantino movie ends with a somewhat ambiguous final shot. None of his movies have a really definitive ending; he always leaves a couple of pieces out of the puzzle for the audience to figure out for themselves. What happened to Django and Broomhilda after they burned down Candyland? Did Mr. Pink get away with the diamonds or did the cops catch up to him? Did Rick Dalton’s Hollywood movie career finally take off?...

Steven Spielberg is renowned as one of the greatest directors who ever lived, and he’s found success with all kinds of movies. Whereas a lot of directors pigeonhole themselves to one genre or style, Spielberg has dabbled in almost every cinematic category. He’s done suspense, romance, action-adventure — and plenty of historical dramas. Like his contemporary Martin Scorsese, Spielberg has based a lot of his movies on true-to-life events. Sometimes, real life comes up with more interesting stories than a writer with the deepest, widest imagination could ever think of....

The Alien concept art designed by artist H.R. Giger helped transform the project from a b-movie into a genre classic. Given the lifecycle of the xenomorph itself, its somewhat fitting Alien also had a difficult birth. The idea was first conceived by writer Dan O’Bannon, who collaborated with director John Carpenter (Halloween) on a low-budget sci-fi comedy called Dark Star in 1974. The movie followed the aimless misadventures of a crew of astronauts, with one sequence finding Pinback - also played by O’Bannon - chasing a small alien creature through the ship’s vents....

Growing up, was there anything better than waking up late on the weekend, getting a big bowl of sugar cereal, and parking yourself in front of the TV to watch your favorite block of Saturday-morning cartoons?

Isn’t nostalgia a funny thing?...

Director Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant is arriving five years after the release of Prometheus, Scott’s quasi-prequel to his touchstone 1979 sci-fi/horror classic, Alien. The esteemed filmmaker has continued to remain prolific in terms of his directing output even with his 80th birthday on the horizon, having on average released about one new film every year for most of the past decade. Now that Scott is doubling-down his efforts on expanding the Alien franchise, it sounds as though audiences won’t have to wait another five years between installments....
