Witcher, Umbrella Academy Rank Among Netflix’s Most Popular of 2019

Netflix has revealed its most popular TV shows and movies of 2019 and Stranger Things Season 3, The Witcher, and Umbrella Academy place in the top ten.

These titles are ranked by how many people watched at least two minutes of the movie or TV series during the first 28 days of release.

The Best Reviewed Movies of 2019

With 2019 coming to a close and awards season in full steam, let’s look back at all the films that have wowed us so far this year.

IGN rates movies on a scale of 0-10. On this scale, any film rated 9.0-9.9 is considered “amazing” and anything that gets the coveted 10 rating is declared a “masterpiece”.

And we don’t give out 10s to just anything, either. In fact, not one motion picture has earned a 10/10 rating from us so far this year.

But listed below are all the films — released theatrically between January and now — that our team of critics have ranked an 8.0 or higher.

PS5 and Xbox Series X GPU and Memory Specs Leak, Report Says

New information on the alleged specs, including GPU (or ‘graphics card’) and memory, for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X next-gen consoles has reportedly leaked, offering us possible, albeit unofficial, better look at these two new consoles.

Compare that to the PS4, which featured a theoretical max of 1.84 teraflops.

Avengers and Fantastic Four Team Up Against the Kree and Skrulls

The next massive event from Marvel Comics will be Empyre, where the Avengers and Fantastic Four work together to stop the Kree and the Skrulls.

In Marvel’s Incoming! #1, a one-off comic released on December 26, the Kree and Skrulls unite under a new leader and are heading for Earth. The story will continue in April when Empyre is released.

In a video published on Marvel’s social media pages, Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort promises that Empyre is the ultimate continuation of countless Marvel sagas.

“Empyre grows out of a number of classic, key Marvel stories, including the pre-Skrull war, the Celestial Madonna saga, the origin of the Young Avengers and a bunch of others,” Brevoort said. “It is the touchpoint for so many things that have been established throughout Marvel history.”

Scientists Report Lead is Actually Stronger Than Steel

Steel is regarded as one of the strongest metal alloys, used in everything from buildings to vehicles to machines, and more. But, a new report shows another common alloy may be stronger than steel, given the right conditions.

According to a report by Science News, Scientists have discovered a way to modify lead’s physical properties by exposing it to 160 high-powered lasers. These lasers were able to rapidly compress the lead sample, exposing it to pressures similar to what’s found within the Earth’s core, and making it stronger in the process.

The tests were performed at the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. Amazingly, during this process, the lead became 250 times stronger than before it was exposed to an enormous amount of pressure. This extremely dense lead was also rated as being roughly ten times stronger than high-strength steel.

Predicting the Top 20 Movies at the 2020 Box Office

The dawning of a new year also brings with it the dawning of a new decade, and compared to recent years at the box office, 2020 will have more variety. 2020 will be the first year in five years where there will be no new Star Wars movie; even Marvel Studios is paring back, releasing just (*gasp*) TWO movies this year instead of its typical three-film annual roll out. Plus, for the first time since Marvel Phase One, neither of those movies will be sequels, though one brings back a familiar character (Black Widow, May 1) and the other introduces a new group of heroes (The Eternals, November 1).

Since 2012, the No. 1 movie at the domestic box office has either been a Marvel movie or a Star Wars movie, but that may change in 2020. With no Star Wars movies and two non-Avenger Marvel movies, that could open things up for a new box office champ in 2020, maybe even a movie that doesn’t come from (gasp) Disney. Who could take over as the new box office champ? There are several viable possibilities.

What Was Finn Trying to Tell Rey in The Rise of Skywalker?

While many questions from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker still remain, one big one has been answered. Obviously, spoilers follow for Rise of Skywalker …

Star Wars: Why There Won’t Be a 10th Skywalker Saga Movie

With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker wrapping up a forty year saga, while also bringing back Emperor Palpatine and concluding the story of Rey and Kylo Ren, one could easily see there being two movies’ worth of material available. But two films wasn’t the way to go as the Sequel Trilogy was meant be just that: A trilogy

“George always said it was nine movies,” Rise co-writer Chris Terrio said in a recent interview with AwardsDaily. “That was the natural size of the saga, and so, other than a few initial discussions, we never really advanced that conversation.”
