Death, destruction, and annihilation follow the congregation of alien zealots, otherwise known as the Covenants, as the harrowing impact of their attack on human establishments is showcased in the midpoint of the second season of Paramount+’s space epic series, Halo. In the previous season, Master Chief and his Silver team managed to bring the mystical Forerunner artifact back to Reach right from the Covenant home base of High Charity, and a severe retaliation was expected, which culminated in this season with Covenant’s invasion of Reach.
In the previous episode, Master Chief and his Silver Team were temporarily relieved of their combat duties by Captain Keyes (on the orders of Colonel Ackerman) due to the Chief’s insubordination, and his concern about the Covenant attack and the Cobalt Team’s status was deliberately covered up by the Ackerson-led Oni. Later, after it is revealed that the entire Cobalt team was Kia,...

The publisher describes this graphic novel as a thriller, but I’d put it solidly in noir – that may seem needlessly nitpicky, but if you’re the kind of reader who has strong opinions on the location of the border between mystery and thriller, it may be helpful.
It’s written and drawn by Rina Ayuyang in a soft, mostly blue palette – I am not an expert on art or tools, but it looks like some kind of art crayon or soft pencil to me, with lots of texture and shades of a few colors but relatively muted lines drawn with a quick, energetic hand.
It’s 1929, somewhere in an agricultural field in Northern California. There’s a group of fruit pickers, who seem to be all Filipino. They aren’t exactly mistreated directly, but the larger white society is prejudiced against them, worker protections are scanty to begin with,...

Do you know what we don’t get enough in movies? Vehicle-based heists. I jest of course but Overhaul (originally titled Cargo Maxima in its native Brazil) feels very much like yet another entry in the Fast & Furious franchise… Well, before it dropped the “and the” from the title! Yes, this is a throwback to the more basic, less “out of this world” antics of the early Vin Diesel films, when it was all about the car racing/cop chase action rather than unbelievable superhero-esque antics of Dom and co. in the more recent franchise entries.
The plot is pretty simple. Truck racer – yes you read that right – Truck racer, Roger Matos (Thiago Martins) is suffering in both his personal and professional life and when his father dies...

Rio De Janeiro, Aug 19 (Ians) Neymar has been recalled to Brazil’s national squad for the team’s opening 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru, the Brazilian football confederation said.
The 31-year-old, who left Paris Saint-Germain this week to join Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal, has not represented his country since last year’s World Cup in Qatar because of an ankle injury, reports Xinhua.
“He (Neymar) deserves the chance to write the most beautiful chapter in his career, which I think has not yet been written,” Brazil manager Fernando Diniz told a news conference.
As expected, Neymar will be joined in attack by Real Madrid duo Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior, as well as Tottenham’s Richarlison, Manchester United’s Antony and Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli.
Brazil will meet Bolivia in Belem on September 8 and Peru in Lima four days later.

The 26th San Francisco Silent Film Festival was another joyous gathering of silent cinema fans, historians, scholars, and all stripes of movie buffs. Launched in 1995, the festival has grown from a single-day event to—excluding two years of Covid shutdowns—an annual, five-day celebration. It’s about the movies, of course, and this year Sfsff presented 20 features and seven shorts. But it’s also about the silent movie experience. All shows were accompanied by live music, from solo piano to small combos to a 10-piece mini-orchestra for the closing-night event, playing both archival music and original scores, many composed for the screenings.
Allan Dwan’s The Iron Mask, from 1929, opened the festival with a bittersweet farewell to the silents. The film, the swashbuckling final silent feature to star Douglas Fairbanks, has added resonance for Sfsff audiences because of the legacy of the Castro Theatre, the festival’s home for its entire 26 years.

New Delhi, June 14 (Ians) Brahim Diaz is back in the Spanish capital and set for a second chance to establish himself as a regular for Real Madrid.
The 23-year-old attacking midfielder, who first joined the 34-time Laliga champions from Manchester City in 2019, has spent the last three seasons on loan in Italian football with AC Milan in search of minutes and invaluable experience.
He has gained plaudits for his performances in Italy, playing 124 matches in all competitions and scoring 18 goals for the Rossoneri. He won the Serie A title last season, becoming only the third player ever to win Laliga, Serie A and the Premier League after Cristiano Ronaldo y Danilo, and this year he reached the Champions League semi-finals.
He now returns to the Santiago Bernabeu and will likely slot into the now departed Marco Asensio’s role in the team. Brahim is a very creative player, and can...

Rome, Jan 23 (Ians) Juventus showed their tenacity as they trailed behind twice but eventually registered a 3-3 tie against Atalanta in Serie A.
The Bianconeri were dealt a huge blow off the pitch as they were docked 15 points for financial issues and plummeted to the 10th place with just 22 points before Sunday’s game, reports Xinhua news agency.
In the highly-anticipated game, Atalanta went ahead minutes into the game when Ademola Lookman unleashed a missile that squirmed past Wojciech Szczesny’s gloves.
The home side leveled the game in the 25th minute as the referee awarded them a penalty, Angel Di Maria kept his cool to convert it, before Arkadiusz Milik turned around the game with a first-time strike.
The Dea scored the equalizer at the dawn of the second half, as Lookman’s smart pass found Joakim Maehle to beat Szczesny one-on-one.
Atalanta restored the lead six minutes later,...
