Disney’s Pinocchio Review: Re-Watch The Original Instead Of This Wooden Remake
“Pinocchio” is the latest Disney animated film to get an updated “live-action” remake in our contemporary times. The 1940 original is rightfully a classic — a film that pushed the boundary of what animation can bring to the screen and a story about a boy’s earnest search to find out who he is. Robert Zemeckis’ […]
Batwoman Boss Considered ‘Soap Opera’ Recast for ‘Hot Minute,’ Instead Chose ‘Reboot’ With New Character
A Bat-mystery has been solved. Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries has shed some light on the decision to not recast the role of Kate Kane, in the wake of Ruby Rose abruptly parting ways with the CW series, but instead create “a whole new character” to slip into the cape and cowl for Season 2. As […]
Homeland Almost ‘De-Aged’ Mandy Patinkin for 1986 Flashbacks, But Took Cue From Criminal Minds Instead
Earlier this year, Ben Savage played a Young Mandy Patinkin in the penultimate episode of Criminal Minds. Two months later, he played a Young Mandy Patinkin in the penultimate episode of Homeland.

The patients who said ‘f*ck cancer’ and went to Burning Man instead
Joel Balsam January 11, 2019 Share this article Deep in the Black Rock Desert—and arguably even deeper into the Burning man experience—a hardy crew of cancer patients are burying their diagnoses in the dust. The sun is beating down over one of the most inhospitable places on the planet and I can’t remember the last […]
Oscars 2019: Kevin Hart ‘will NOT return to host’ – here’s what’ll happen instead
Hart was initially unveiled as the presenter of the iconic awards bash late last year, until a huge homophobia furore erupted – based on clips from his stand-up routines and numerous tweets with derogatory language from several years ago. He stepped down, leaving the Oscars officially host-less. But the row returned to prominence this week […]
I tested a $52,000 Cadillac XT4 crossover SUV that used an old-school navigation system instead of digital maps — here’s what it was like
Matthew DeBord/BI Many vehicles are now equipped with GPS navigation systems that use digital maps, rendered in infotainment screens. Recently, I tested a $ 52,000 Cadillac XT4 crossover SUV that lacked this feature. Instead, it had an older system, called “Turn-by-Turn.” I’ve always been a fan if Turn-by-Turn, and on the XT4, I found that […]
Avengers 4 trailer WON'T release on Monday – because Marvel just confirmed THIS instead
In a bizarre move – as the long, long wait for a first look at Avengers 4 continues – Kevin Feige’s studio has instead promised a full trailer for Captain Marvel, which hits cinemas in March. This vaguely – but not quite – aligns with a previous rumour suggesting an Avengers 4 trailer would come […]
