Snowpiercer, TNT’s hour-long TV show has adapted Oscar-winning director Bong Joon-ho’s 2013 South Korean dystopian sci-fi film of the same name. The Snowpiercer TV show is headlined by an Oscar winner in Jennifer Connelly, who is joined by Hamilton stage standout Daveed Diggs. Plus, Doctor Strange helmer Scott Derrickson directed the pilot (sans reshoots). With Snowpiercer’s uniquely stylized dystopian premise, coupled with its overt political themes of class division, there will certainly be much with which to work when it comes to a prospective ongoing television show....

Our quick take Sony Cyber-shot HX50 - 4.0 / 5 Zoom! Shake The Room The High End of Low Image quality To recap The HX50 blends some high-spec features in among more standard travel zoom fare. We like the versatility of the 24-720mm equivalent optical zoom lens, but the maximum aperture range lacks that high-end feel - something which the hotshoe and exposure compensation dial both seem to suggest otherwise. Which leaves the HX50 sat on the fence: it’s got stacks of features and plenty right, but the image quality and level of creative control doesn’t elevate the HX50 out of its category to its fullest potential....

Illustration by Jessica Koynock The United States’ contract with Russia to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) will be ending soon, and if the U.S. wants to continue to have a presence on the space station, that means they need to find a new means to get there.

Splatoon 2 hasn’t let up on the monthly Splatfest events, as long-time players will know. This month, Nintendo is shaking the familiar format up a little, in a squid (and octopus, of course) style celebration of Halloween. So, the much-ballyhooed Nintendo Switch Online service is upon us.

Well, it’s certainly a cheaper service than Xbox and PlayStation are offering, but is it comparable in value?...

It’s interesting times when the dead speak and the third highest December opening of ever is still mildly disappointing for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the ostensible finale to the Skywalker saga begun 42 years ago.
