The biggest twist in Twisters isn’t one spinning on screen. It’s that the film goes a surprising step beyond what you expect it to be. Yes, Twisters delivers plenty of high-octane, effects-driven action set pieces with tornadoes destroying all manner of homes, hotels, and the occasional human. But it also prioritizes life in a way the original 1996 film didn’t. We care more about who lives and who dies, and that heartfelt humanity at its core elevates Twisters in all sorts of ways.

After weeks of creepy trailers and very good pre-release buzz, Neon’s long-awaited Longlegs finally hit theaters this weekend. Directed by Osgood Perkins, attention on the Maika Monore and Nicolas Cage-led horror thriller has built up a lot of goodwill, and that appears to have paid off big time at the theater.

House of the Dragon‘s most memorable moments tend to be flashy, (quite literally) fiery, and shot through with agonizing violence. There was plenty of that in last week’s episode, but episode five, “Regent,” which aired last night, gave us one of the most powerful reactions we’ve ever seen on the show—and also one of the quietest. In a new interview, “Regent” director Clare Kilner discussed how it all came together.

Almost 50 years after NASA opted to make Chuck Berry one of the first sounds aliens may hear from intelligent life on Earth, the space agency blasted a more contemporary music sampling into space. Missy Elliott’s debut single ‘The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)’ has gotten plenty of radio play since its release in 1997, but nothing quite like this. On Friday, the song was loaded up onto NASA’s ultra powerful Deep Space Network transmitter and beamed toward Venus, making it the first hip-hop song aired in deep space.

Kevin Conroy will always be one of the best Batmen to ever proverbially don the cowl, and the thought that with his passing there would be no more chances to hear the voice that defined the Dark Knight for generations of fans was a bittersweet one. But while there was much ire about the idea that Conroy’s final Batman performance might have come in the controversial, maligned Suicide Squad video game Kill the Justice League, it turned out one final huzzah for Conroy’s Batman was waiting–and now it’s here, and damn near perfect.

The original OnePlus Pad was a decent all-around Android tablet, but it was not amazing in any one area. Now, OnePlus is back with a new tablet device that packs more power, has a better screen, more speakers, and a higher starting price. OnePlus offers an Android tablet alternative that costs less than the latest iPad Airs, though it seems like it’s hewing very close to the rendition from 2023.

There are a lot of Optimus Prime figures. The heroic leader of the Autobots is easily one of the most recognisable Transformers, if not the most recognisable, to have ever transformed and rolled out, so it makes sense that its biggest hero is also the biggest part of the toymaker’s figures, too, in the many designs and incarnations Optimus has had over the generations. But their latest crack at the whip for Prime might just be one of the company’s finest.

Grief is never a tidy emotion, but in Starve Acre, Richard (Matt Smith) and Juliette (Morfydd Clark) find the process further complicated by their surroundings.
