Callina Liang as Chloe in ‘Presence’. Photo: Neon.‘Presence’ receives 6 out of 10 stars.Opening in theaters on January 24th, ‘Presence’ is the latest film from Steven Soderbergh, who seemingly never stops wanting to play with format and style, and usually to interesting effect.While his new supernatural drama certainly has some elements to recommend it, what works about the movie does end up getting a little lost within his format-tinkering, the style somewhat overcoming the substance of the emotional, human story at its core.Related Article: Lucy Liu and Chris Sullivan Talk Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Presence’Will ‘Presence’ haunt your thoughts?Callina Liang as Chloe in…

The extremely popular strategy game Endless Legend is finally getting a sequel, ten whole years after the original game began blowing up sales charts. Developer Amplitude Studios, who made the first one, just dropped a trailer for Endless Legend 2 and it looks pretty darned cool.This game and its sequel fall under the “4X” sub-genre of strategy games, meaning the crux of the gameplay involves building an empire of some kind. The Civilization titles are a great example of 4X strategy. 4X actually stands for eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. I guess “4E” just didn’t have the same vibe.In any…

WASHINGTON — An influential group of five House Republicans from high-tax states is threatening to hold up a major tax package that is a top priority for President-elect Donald Trump unless they get a significant boost to the amount that their constituents can deduct from federal income taxes to reflect state and local taxes already paid.As negotiations over a major tax cuts bill get underway, they are also drawing a firm line: Simply doubling the maximum allowed deduction from the current $10,000 cap to $20,000, they say, is not enough. “The $20,000 is a nonstarter,” Rep. Nick LaLota, R-N.Y., told CNBC.…

The banning of books in school libraries, an especially hot topic in 2022/23 news cycles, may not feature high in the headlines recently given the new presidential administration’s tsunami of rights-snuffing, Constitution-flouting executive orders. But it’s still going on. That makes the debut at Sundance of The Librarians, a scrupulously assembled feature documentary by esteemed, Peabody-winning director Kim A. Snyder, all the more welcome. (It’s extra timely given since Snyder was just Oscar-nominated, alongside co-director Janique L. Robillard, for her documentary short Death By Numbers, which concerns a school-shooting survivor.)

According to an analysis of California’s record-breaking 2020 fire season, intentionally burning land can reduce the severity and amount of smoke from wildfires that burn those areas later on, even when accounting for smoke from the intentional fires themselves. “We show that there is a net benefit,” says Makoto Kelp at Stanford University in California.
