Unlike the previous Insomniac Spider-Man games, Spider-Man 2 allows you to play as both Miles Morales and Peter Parker throughout the open-world adventure. While you will occasionally need to play as one or the other for a specific story mission, each will be utilized throughout the campaign and open-world segments. The opportunity to play as both is very much welcome, though it does raise the question, ”Who is more powerful: Miles Morales or Peter Parker?”
No, I’m not talking about which character is more powerful in the grand scheme of the Marvel multiverse. That’s a very nerdy, very long discussion for another day. Instead, I’m talking about the fact that Spider-Man 2 gives Miles and Peter their own skill trees as well as a “Shared” tree that contains abilities that affect both of them. Given the unique nature of that system, you’re inevitably going to wonder...

Humphrey Bogart and Eleanor Parker in Chain Lightning (1950) will be available on Blu-ray June 22nd from Warner Archive
Matt Brennan (Humphrey Bogart) plans to show the potential of the Ja-3, an experimental jet – by flying it from Nome over the North Pole and into the Pentagon’s lap in Washington, D.C. The Ja-3 has never been tested at this range and can’t provide enough pressurization at 80,000 feet. But Brennan has modifications in mind…and no shortage of courage. Eleanor Parker, as a former World War II flame, fuels the romance in this adventure that tapped into the era’s fascination with jet aviation.
Chain Lightning stars Humphrey Bogart, Eleanor Parker, Raymond Massey, Richard Whorf, and James Brown

Claudia Barrett, an actress whose busy television career of the 1950s was destined to be outdone in the public’s memory by her film performance alongside a gorilla-suited alien in the camp sci-fi trash classic Robot Monster, died April 30 of natural causes at her home in Palm Desert. She was 91.
Her death was announced by her family.
“Although she loved acting, by the mid 60s she realized her career wasn’t advancing, so she switched to ancillary jobs in film distribution, publicity, and PR, but was not satisfied,” according to her family-written obituary. “However, in 1981 she found her dream job at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). She worked in the division that produced the awards for scientific and technical advances, got to go to the Academy Awards Show every year, and was able to give tickets to family members in the early years.”

Space Hulk: Deathwing is a First-Person Shooter set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe from Games Workshop. The new edition, dubbed “Enhanced Edition,” on the Playstation 4, expands upon the original and features a host of new content, new features and a richer multiplayer mode.
In the game you play as a Space Marine Terminator, including a powerful new class – the Chaplain and his powerful Crozius Arcanum power mace. Though in the single-player mode you’re limited to the Librarian class – a Space Marine who, besides being equipped in Terminator armour, also have a plethora of psychic powers: including Shockwave, Chain Lightning, Spontaneous Combustion and Teleporation (or Lions Shadow as its called in-game)
Along with the new Chaplain class, in the multiplayer you can play as four other Space Marine classes as well as get assistance from you “brother,” an apothecary who can heal you and – in the single-player campaign – help you proceed through the levels,...

EA details the character abilities we'll see as we play Han, Leia or Palpatine in Star Wars: Battlefront...
We're already preparing our best gravelly "Fully operational battle station" Emperor Palpatine impression, as EA reveals details of three additional characters in Star Wars: Battlefront. As you've probably gathered, they're household names from the Star Wars-verse: on the side of all that's good in the galaxy, there's Leia Organa and Han Solo. On the side of evil, the cackling, scheming Emperor Palpatine in his fright make-up.
They join the characters already announced - Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Darth Vader - as the six heroes and villains we'll be able to briefly control at certain moments in the game. Each will have their own unique ability; Luke with his Force Pushes, Sabre Rushes and Smouldering Sulk ability (we may have made the last one up), Vader with...

Raymond Massey ca. 1940. Raymond Massey movies: From Lincoln to Boris Karloff Though hardly remembered today, the Toronto-born Raymond Massey was a top supporting player – and sometime lead – in both British and American movies from the early '30s all the way to the early '60s. During that period, Massey was featured in nearly 50 films. Turner Classic Movies generally selects the same old MGM / Rko / Warner Bros. stars for its annual “Summer Under the Stars” series. For that reason, it's great to see someone like Raymond Massey – who was with Warners in the '40s – be the focus of a whole day: Sat., Aug. 8, '15. (See TCM's Raymond Massey movie schedule further below.) Admittedly, despite his prestige – his stage credits included the title role in the short-lived 1931 Broadway production of Hamlet – the quality of Massey's performances varied wildly. Sometimes he could be quite effective; most of the time, however, he was an unabashed scenery chewer,...

Actress Eleanor Parker has died, aged 91.
The American star - best known for playing Baroness Elsa von Schrader in The Sound of Music - passed away on Monday (December 9) due to complications from pneumonia in Palm Springs, California.
Parker was nominated for three Oscars in 1951, 1952 and 1956.
Co-star Christopher Plummer described her as "one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever known - both as a person and as a beauty".
"I hardly believe the sad news, for I was sure she was enchanted and would live forever," he said.
Eleanor Parker's breakthrough role was in 1950s prison drama Caged, earning her her first Best Actress Oscar nomination.
She received a second nod the following year as Kirk Douglas's wife in Detective Story, while she was also recognised for her role in 1955's Interrupted Melody.
She also appeared in several other successful films including Scaramouche, Valley of the Kings and The Naked Jungle.

Eleanor Parker dead at 91: ‘The Sound of Music’ actress, three-time Best Actress Oscar nominee (photo: Eleanor Parker ca. 1945) Eleanor Parker, one of the best and most beautiful actresses of the studio era, a three-time Best Actress Academy Award nominee, and one of the stars of the 1965 blockbuster and Best Picture Oscar winner The Sound of Music, died today, December 9, 2013, of complications from pneumonia at a medical facility near her home in the Southern Californian desert town of Palm Springs. Eleanor Parker was 91. “I’m primarily a character actress,” Parker told the Toronto Star in 1988. “I’ve portrayed so many diverse individuals on the screen that my own personality never emerged.” At one point, wildly imaginative publicists called her The Woman of a Thousand Faces — an absurd label, when you think of Man of a Thousand Faces Lon Chaney. Eleanor Parker never altered her appearance the way Chaney did — her...

Ball and Chain, the comic series written by Scott Lobdell, drawn by Ale Garza, and published by Homage Comics/Wildstorm in 1999, has found its way onto this season's development slate at the SyFy Channel.
The plot? After months of emotional tumult, Edgar and Mallory call their relationship quits. As they say their final goodbyes, the ex-lovers are nearly hit by a meteorite that, it turns out, imbues them with extraordinary powers, turning her into Chain Lightning and him into Thunderball. Unfortunately, the powers only work when they are in close proximity to each other. Though the last thing they want to do is stay together, they’ll need to try if they hope to overcome the newly arrived other-worldly forces that threaten to destroy them and anyone else who gets in the way.
The series is a Universal Cable Productions/Fremantle Media co-production, and Scott Lobdell will be serving as an executive producer.
