We are all relying on video calls to communicate with each other, be it for personal or professional purposes. Thus, we turn to our computer’s webcam and if it’s of poor quality (which most of them are) or damaged, a big bummer! Gladly, there’s a workaround, in fact, an easy one. Droidcam is an app […]

Ben Stokes is set to lead England in the first Test against West Indies with skipper Joe Root likely to miss the match due to the birth of his child.Universal Pictures has just shared a new promo for their upcoming film Candyman. The horror slasher, which will be directed by Nia DaCosta and produced by Jordan Peele, already got its first official trailer back in February, but does this new bit of footage reveal any additional information about the pic?
Not particularly. The promo – about 30 seconds in length – includes footage from the February teaser and intersperses it with puppetry animation that presumably tells the backstory of the film’s antagonist: a laws-of-physics-defying mass-murdering boogeyman who derived his name from America’s favorite dessert.
Initially expected to be directed by Peele himself, the project was eventually relegated to DaCosta. An African American screenwriter and filmmaker who made her directorial debut with the respectable 2018 drama Little Woods, she’s arguably one of the most qualified creatives Universal could have settled for.
That is, of course, besides Peele himself. Through his movies Get Out and Us, he not only cemented himself as one of the best contemporary horror filmmakers, but one of the best filmmakers in general. Blending original concepts with expertly-crafted storytelling that could impress even the likes of Charlie Kaufman, Peele was without a doubt the public’s number one choice.
Still, Candyman is one of the most hotly-anticipated films of the year and the hype around it can be attributed not only to the talented artists who are making it, but also to the current state of the world. Following the nationwide civil rights protests in response to the death of George Floyd, the western movie industry is about to become more representational and inclusive than it ever was before. And as two artists of color, Peele and DaCosta’s work is sure to prove itself a welcome addition among the uninspired and whitewashed productions that Hollywood usually churns out.

This year’s new iPhones might not have as much in the box as you’re used to. According to well-connected analyst Ming-chi Kuo, Apple is planning to stop including a power adapter and EarPods in the box with 2020 models, and will even remove the power adapter from the new iPhone SE’s packaging later this year. Kuo’s research note was reported on by AppleInsider, MacRumors, and 9to5Mac.
Apple is attempting to offset the cost increases that come with upgrading the iPhone range to 5G, according to Kuo. Smaller packaging would be more eco-friendly and also reduce shipping costs, since more phones could fit into a single shipment. (Encouraging more sales of AirPods can’t hurt, either.)
Right now Apple includes EarPods with all iPhones, a 5W...

Updated every day, these top ten lists (one for movies, one for shows and one for both) gives subscribers an overview of what a given country is watching. Of course, Netflix knew this information from the very beginning and it was precisely this informational edge that helped the streamer triumph over its competitors.
Usually, the list is comprised of some pretty unsurprising entries. Recent toppers, for instance, include the Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, whose arrival on Netflix took the world by storm, as well as hit shows like Money Heist and 13 Reasons Why. Today, however, these standard entries are joined by a pretty unusual one as rounding off the list at the bottom spot is a little-known horror movie from 2013 titled Dark Skies.
Written and directed by Scott Stewart, it stars Keri Russell alongside Jake Brennan and Josh Hamilton. Its story – in all respects, textbook stuff when it comes to horror – follows your typical American family whose idyllic suburban life gets disrupted when a mysterious, deadly and possibly otherworldly force comes to haunt them.
Sporting a 41% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it may neither be particularly well-crafted nor exceptionally original, but it should get the job done. That is, to say, it’ll scare you.
Should you want more out of a horror film than screams, though, there are a few other, more artistically appealing horror films hidden inside the streamer’s catalog that may be of interest of you. These include David Fincher’s Zodiac as well as The Car, The Boy and Cape Fear.
But tell us, which scary horror films (besides Dark Skies) have you been watching on Netflix? Let us know in the comments section down below.
If you’re a longtime fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, then it stands to reason that you’d be pretty excited about two new movies being in development to continue Disney’s swashbuckling adventures. However, despite one project hailing from series veteran Terry Rossio and the creator of the acclaimed Chernobyl, and the other being spearheaded by Birds of Prey writer Christina Hodson and star Margot Robbie, reaction has been a little on the tepid side.
Of course, this is all down to the status of Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow, the marquee name and main selling point of all five installments to date. Fans were furious when it was originally announced that Disney were dropping him from the sixth movie, and even though there’s been no shortage of speculation since then that he might be involved in some capacity, even with two new Pirates of the Caribbean blockbusters moving forward, there’s still been no official confirmation or denial that Depp will return.
There’ve already been petitions launched in an effort to get him reinstated, as well as rumors that Captain Jack might be written into one of the scripts for a small cameo in order to appease the fans, but from the looks of things, it appears as though a number of people have no interest whatsoever in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie that doesn’t star Johnny Depp, and you can check out some of the reactions below.
It’s simple .. if the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie has no Captain Jack Sparrow, no Johnny Depp, I’m not watching it

Very happy for Margot Robbie on landing the Pirates of the Caribbean movie! She’s gonna kill it!
But can we agree that Johnny Depp should still play Jack Sparrow because his lying ass ex wife fabricated stories about being abused and almost ruined his life?
Savvy?

Before Twitter spins it as people being against the new Pirates of the Caribbean because they “hate women” or something… no.
Johnny Depp is a domestic violence victim and lost Jack Sparrow because of false allegations from his abuser.
This is Disneys way of saying “fuck you.”

Listen disney: Johnny Depp is the reason POTC had success. He gave Jack Sparrow life and created an amazing character because of his TALENT. And by not casting him you're not only gonna lose money and fans, but you're discrediting a domestic violence victim. #NoJohnnyNoPirates pic.twitter.com/WaTnt8S8ft

Yeah, I’d feel way more positively about this if Johnny Depp wasn’t going to the ends of the earth to prove he lost Jack Sparrow because of false allegations from Amber Heard.

It's not about Margot Robbie. It's about Johnny Depp losing his iconic Captain Jack Sparrow role because Amber Heard falsely accused him of abuse.
…she abused him.
Despite this, he continues visiting sick children, as Jack Sparrow, to cheer them up.
Johnny deserves better.— Aurora | #BlackLivesMatter (@MsAuroraGilmore) June 26, 2020
Johnny Depp is more than his role as Jack Sparrow. He’ll be perfectly fine without Pirates Of The Caribbean, however Pirates Of The Caribbean will suffer without him.
— Strawberry Fields. (@sunflxwervolsix) June 27, 2020
History has shown that very few big-name franchises ever reach the same levels of success without their biggest draw, and based on how Dead Men Tell No Tales disappointed at the box office even with Jack Sparrow front-and-center, any new Pirates of the Caribbean movies that don’t feature the iconic character are more than likely already facing an uphill battle to reignite the stagnating brand.
