Clint Eastwood’s latest movie 15:17 to Paris has won an appeal over its original R rating, which the director and producers thought was inappropriate and could possibly limit the audience. Now the true-life drama will be released in theaters with a PG-13 rating instead. Eastwood was first announced as the director of the project in April. The movie is based on a real incident where three Americans subdued an ISIS terrorist on a train from Amsterdam to Paris in 2015, and is sourced from the novel that was written by the men in the aftermath, titled The 15:17 to Paris: The True Story of a Terrorist, a Train, and Three American Heroes....

When one hears the title A Christmas Carol, dark and gritty aren’t usually the words that come to mind. That’s why we have the FX/BBC production to shed a little gloom and doom on the season to be merry and bright. Joking aside, this version is definitely unique and well-performed with more than a few curious touches. It’s not your mom and dad’s tale of a miser’s redemption, but it does have several clever details and callbacks worth appreciating....

In Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Sabrina attends a magic school called The Academy of Unseen Arts. But what if she went to a different magical school? J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books focused on Hogwarts in Britain, but Rowling also created Ilvermorny for the American witches and warlocks in the Potterverse. With houses representing the four main aspects of a witch or wizard (mind, heart, body, and soul), the Ilvermorny sorting is a little different than Hogwarts....

This post contains SPOILERS for Spectre - After Sam Mendes’ first James Bond film, Skyfall, earned widespread critical acclaim and became the highest-grossing franchise installment ($1 billion worldwide), expectations were sky high for the followup.

The critical reception was not nearly as enthusiastic (read our review), and Spectre is way behind its predecessor in terms of box office gross ($197 million domestically; $864....

However, Marvel Studios’ first ensemble film was also the final time viewers saw the fan-favorite S.H.I.E.L.D. operative appear on the big screen, after he and Nick Fury (Sam Jackson) faked his death to motivate the heroes to band together against Loki (Tom Hiddleston)....

Download Clean Master (Cleaner) from Google Play. Once installed, you’ll notice a simple straight-forward interface. It’s divided into four sections – History, Privacy, Tasks, and App Manager. The top area is reserved for showing you how much space you have available and used on your device’s internal memory and memory card. Since I’m using it on the Google Nexus 7, I’m getting the same figures for both. The History section is, in my humble opinion, the most useful, as it allows you to de-clutter your device....

Bachelor Nation is buzzing with speculation - will Hannah Brown return as the next lead on The Bachelorette? Host and producer Chris Harrison hinted that she could be because “she’s a train wreck.” After a brutal conclusion to her own sort of fairy tale, Brown is back on the market again.
