After kicking off the Marvel Cinematic Universe via Jon Favreau’s Iron Man in 2008, the actor reprised the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man nine more times before wrapping out his run in Joe and Anthony Russo’s culminating movie. Aside from bringing the character’s journey to a poetic end, many commented about how Downey’s final outing as the character was arguably his best go in the role....

One claim that higher-end iPhones are to be made in India is untrue, say supply-chain sources. The original report, earlier this month, has been dismissed as ‘election rhetoric’ on the part of government officials. There have been reports of higher-end iPhone assembly in India by both Wistron and Foxconn, and it’s the former claim which is today being disputed … Wistron is currently Apple’s sole iPhone assembler in India, making the iPhone SE and iPhone 6S specifically for the Indian market....

Legendary zombie director George A. Romero was originally set to helm the first Resident Evil movie, but was ultimately fired before production began. Romero famously created the modern zombie sub-genre with his 1968 indie classic Night of the Living Dead, which established most of the zombie rules subsequent entries have followed, including The Walking Dead. Night of the Living Dead presented zombies as recently risen corpses with an insatiable hunger for human flesh, and got away from the voodoo-based zombies seen in prior Hollywood films....

Four years after he reprised his role as Rocky Balboa for Ryan Coogler’s sequel-spinoff Creed, Sylvester Stallone is reviving his other iconic character, John Rambo, for a fifth and supposedly final entry in the ultra-violent movie series about the damaged and misunderstood Vietnam War vet. The upcoming Last Blood (a tip of the hat to the film that started it all, First Blood) takes a leaf out of Logan’s book and sends an aging Rambo on his most personal mission yet, in an effort to make amends with the darkness of his past....

Before we begin this list, let’s break down one of the true elements of Grey’s Anatomy. These doctors save lives on a daily basis and will give us an occasional laugh and some tears along the way. But what sets Grey’s apart from most shows are the unions. Not the friendships, but the love triangles, the breakups, the getting to-know-one-anothers, and the long-lasting connections that some share. Thinking back to the beginning of Grey’s Anatomy, there have been numerous hookups, one night stands, and missed chances....

Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans make fun of Captain America’s costume from The Avengers. It’s been almost seven years since the Joss Whedon directed blockbuster brought together all MCU Phase 1 heroes for an epic mission against Loki.
