Razer Blade Pro FHD review: The screen is its best and worst trick

Enlarge / The Razer Blade Pro FHD, complete with a week’s worth of fingerprints on its black-aluminum frame. (credit: Sam Machkovech) For all of the years we’ve talked about the gaming-hardware company Razer and its range of expensive and (sometimes) remarkably thin gaming laptops, we’ve rarely put those “Blade” machines through extensive testing.

Avengers Infinity War: Star Wars The Last Jedi’s John Boyega for BLADE after Avengers 4?

When Doctor Strange was released in 2016, he said: “They did ask a long time ago, and I think our answer was, ‘No, we’ll do something with Blade at some point.’ That’s still the answer.” Now Boss Logic has mocked up Star Wars actor Boyega as Blade, as though he were starring as the human-vampire […]

‘Mute’ Review Round-Up: A ‘Blade Runner’ Wannabe With Nothing to Say

In 2009, Moon put Duncan Jones on the map as one of the most intriguing and promising new directors working today. His debut gave Jones the opportunity to direct the modestly received, star-studded Source Code and the poorly received, big-budget Warcraft. But most importantly, it paved the way for a passion project 16 years in the making. And […]

Mute movie reviews are TERRIBLE – ‘BAD Blade Runner’ is ‘a PUNISHING watch’

The latest Netflix original movie is available to stream today, but just like The Cloverfield Paradox before it, the critics aren’t impressed. Jones’ Mute currently has just 8% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Starring Alexander Skarsgard, Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux, the sci-fi noir is set in 2058 Berlin where a mute bartender searches for […]

‘Altered Carbon’ Director Miguel Sapochnik on His Influences, Imagining the Future, and ‘Blade Runner’ [Interview]

Over the past few years, Miguel Sapochnik has been directing some of the most exciting episodes on television. Sapochnik’s Game of Thrones episodes, “Hardhome” and “Battle of the Bastards,” are unforgettable and earned him a well-deserved Emmy. Before returning for the final season of that HBO series, the director (who has also helmed episodes of House and True Detective) worked on one […]

‘Blade’ Trilogy Honest Trailer: Marvel’s First Franchise Had Some Awful Vampires

Black Panther has been getting all sorts of praise as the film hits theaters everywhere with sneak preview screenings tonight. But let us not forget the first Marvel franchise that not only featured a black superhero in the lead, but also boasted an R-rating across three films and introduced us to a simultaneously badass and […]

‘Altered Carbon’ is more than just a ‘Blade Runner’ ripoff

Altered Carbon is the very definition of a guilty pleasure. The show, adapted by Laeta Kalogridis from Richard Morgan’s novel, isn’t exactly well written. And, like most Netflix joints, it goes on for way too long. But it’s gorgeous, it’s filled with charismatic actors and its cyberpunk aesthetic feels like a ’90s anime brought to […]

Secret Cinema reveals Blade Runner for its 10th Anniversary: When do tickets go on sale?

Dave Bautista Was Told He Was Too Young for His ‘Blade Runner 2049’ Role

Towering at 6′ 3″ and boasting a thickset neck and torso, Dave Bautista is already an unlikely Hollywood star. The former professional wrestler and mixed martial arts fighter shot to stardom in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy as Drax, the gruff musclehead alien with a heart, and continues to shine in intriguing roles like that of the Replicant Sapper Morton in Blade Runner 2049.
