The new science fiction horror film comes from director Nicolas Winding Refn, known for movies like Valhalla Rising (2009), Drive (2011), and The Neon Demon (2016). Christina Ricci, famous for her role in Yellowjackets, stars alongside Charles Melton, Dougray Scott, Havana Rose Liu, and Diego Calva in the film.
The series initially gained popularity in Japan, and Nintendo hoped for similar success in America, though they likely didn’t anticipate such a massive cultural impact. To build on this success, they created spin-off games. One early spin-off, surprisingly, demonstrated that Pokémon wasn’t guaranteed to succeed with everything it tried, but it ultimately became very influential for future games.
We’ll always cherish the delightfully quirky and charming games created by this developer. While known for RPGs, they constantly strived to create something unique within the genre, whether it was a classic turn-based experience or a challenging soulslike. Here’s a look back at some of their most memorable titles, all of which we highly recommend.
As dawn breaks over a quiet, unnamed town in the West, John Magaro’s character, Martin, carefully carries his sleeping six-year-old son, Charlie, to the car. He then wakes his nine-year-old daughter, Ella, and asks her to gather a few belongings and get their dog, Rex, ready. It quickly becomes clear that this isn’t a typical departure – it’s something more urgent. When Ella asks what they would take if the house was on fire, Martin’s thoughtful answer hints that they’re leaving quickly, and perhaps not by choice.
Although cyberpunk themes are still popular in games, animation, and books, it’s been hard to create a live-action movie or show that has the same impact. That might be about to change with Neuromancer, Apple TV+’s big-budget adaptation of William Gibson’s influential 1984 novel. For years, many thought the book couldn’t be made into a film or series, but it’s now becoming a high-quality TV show.
Okay, as a huge fan, let me tell you – Miranda Priestly’s amazing style is still the focus, with those perfectly tailored outfits and her cool, intimidating vibe.

These vibrant red Jacquemus Cubisto slingback heels are priced at £710 from Farfetch and are guaranteed to add a bold splash of colour to your look. The rest of Miranda’s outfit is kept simple and timeless, letting the eye-catching shoes take centre stage.
A.J. Quinnell’s novels have been made into movies twice. Though the 1987 film isn’t well remembered, the 2004 movie starring Denzel Washington is a huge hit with audiences, earning an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Considered one of the greatest cyberpunk shows of all time, Aeon Flux is a unique sci-fi adventure that originally aired in the early to mid-1990s. Set in a bleak, dystopian future inspired by German Expressionism, the series takes place after a global catastrophe has left only two city-states standing: Monica and Bregna. These cities, separated by a massive wall in a desolate landscape, are inhabited by clones, robots, and mutants. The show follows a skilled spy and dominatrix from Monica as she undertakes dangerous missions against the ruling forces of Bregna, often clashing with her complex rival and occasional lover.
OpenAI and Microsoft have changed their partnership after seven years of Microsoft being the only cloud provider for OpenAI’s technology. As reported by crypto.news, OpenAI’s AI models are now available to customers of Amazon Web Services (AWS) through a service called Amazon Bedrock, allowing businesses to create AI-powered tools within AWS. OpenAI’s leadership explained that the previous agreement with Microsoft restricted their ability to work with other companies, and the demand for an AWS offering has been incredibly high. AWS CEO Matt Garman stated that customers have been requesting this change for a long time. Under the new deal, which lasts until 2032, Microsoft will no longer share revenue with OpenAI, but OpenAI will continue to pay Microsoft until 2030. Google Cloud is now evaluating the new terms to see how they can potentially partner with OpenAI.
