But when it comes to his personal voice, they resulted in one of the most remarkable movies of its various genres. To honor the gringo auteur, here are all of Alfonso Cuarón’s movies (and one documentary short), ranked according to their Rotten Tomatoes score....

Following the divisive reception to 2012’s Prometheus, director Ridley Scott is set to return to the Alien world he first helped create in 1979 with this year’s Alien: Covenant. Billed as the second installment in the Prometheus prequel trilogy, the film is set to have more direct connections to the 1979 original film than the 2012 prequel did, and not just in its specific creatures and story. Covenant promises to be much more horrifying and tense than Prometheus ever was effectively bringing the Alien franchise back to its pure horror roots for the first time since, really, the original film....

Currently on its twenty-second season in as many years, South Park is one of the longest-running and most cherished programs still airing on Comedy Central. Greenlit all the way back in 1997, the comedy was there since day one, but the theme song wasn’t. Opting to outsource the song’s development, creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker tapped funky rock icon Les Claypool of Primus fame to pen the notoriously-twangy jingle we all recognize today....

Apple announced back in February that this year’s WWDC would move from San Francisco to the quieter city of San Jose.

AltConf which was once branded as AltWWDC will follow Apple’s conference to San Jose:...

While some horror fans aren’t thrilled with the news of more remakes, news of Anaconda getting the remake treatment has been intriguing, as it poses a unique opportunity to continue the trend of quality creature features that began in recent years with The Shallows and Crawl.

A post on Weibo from a Chinese analyst (via GforGames) suggests that the new iPhone design will not feature a protruding camera, which would have seemingly enabled optical image stablization, as Apple has instead opted to focus on a super-thin profile for the new device. Apple’s current line of iPhones take advantage of the embedded SoC’s processing power to enable software-based image stabilization. Whilst optical image stabilization is generally considered to be superior, it also requires the camera components to be physically much larger....

It’s well worth checking out, especially at a discount, but feels lacking in content and diversity of activity....
