For Apple, the iPhone SE is a cheaper way to draw new shoppers into services such as iMessage, Apple TV, Apple Arcade and the full App Store. Samsung, meanwhile, is trying to provide premium features for less money.
The OA doesn't abide by any strict TV series formula either. The opening credits don't appear until 57 minutes into the show. It was written like an eight-hour film, with a novelistic approach. You don't meet some of the main characters until a third of the way through.

Eddie Murphy returned from his acting break with a glorious performance as Rudy Ray Moore, a comedian who played a character called Dolemite in stand-up routines and blaxploitation films from the '70s. Dolemite Is My Name follows Moore from his job at a record store to the big screen. Tracking Moore's rise to fame and its bizarre and enthralling turns, Dolemite Is My Name does justice to both Moore's and Murphy's talents.
Prairie has scars on her back and experiences traumatic episodes, but won't burden her adopted parents with her story. Instead, she takes to the internet, finding like-minded friends via the medium of YouTube.
Despite its lower price, the Galaxy A53 5G looks almost indistinguishable from more expensive Samsung phones like $700 Galaxy S21 FE. Like most of Samsung's recent phones, it has a screen that nearly covers the entire front of the device with just a hole punch-shaped cutout for the selfie camera. The Galaxy A53 5G looks like just about any other phone Samsung could have launched over the past three years.

Set primarily in Vatican City, this biographical drama follows Pope Benedict XVI and Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio in the aftermath of the Vatican leaks scandal. It's as fascinating as it sounds. The Two Popes carves up a slice of real-life drama with a first-class two-hander featuring Jonathan Pryce and Anthony Hopkins.
A pregnant woman has shared some of the 'hilarious' comments that she receives from people about her extra large bump - including one person who joked that her baby was living in 'a loft with WiFi' inside of her belly, and another who wrote that she was carrying a 'whole adult' in there.
'There is complexity putting barriers into the river, we have to take into account the environment of the river, and also the fact there's a lot of traffic on the river, and a river flow,' Mr Punch said.

The OA is difficult to describe, because it sews a handful of different genres into its own ethereal plane. The OA is surreal at times. Yet instead of floating images gently knocking against each other, the sci-fi here is delivered with the grounded assuredness of a Christopher Nolan movie. It moves with the same relentless force.
The three-metre shark was sighted just off the shore near Barrack Street Jetty in Perth and reported by a keen-eyed member of the public, as locals remain vigilant after the death of 16-year old Stella Berry in February.

This Italian film has the seal of approval from Bong Joon-ho, so let's listen to the Oscar-winning director of Parasite and add it to this list. Written and directed by Alice Rohrwacher, Happy as Lazzaro is set in the '70s on a tobacco farm, where good-hearted young peasant Lazzaro dutifully works. When a nobleman convinces him to help him fake his own kidnapping, a story of friendship, innocence and social commentary unfolds. A gorgeously shot, cinematic fairytale.
It will be the first river-barrier in the state's history, but the Bicton and Melville City councils agreed that it was the best thing to do after the latest attack, according to Fisheries Minister Don Punch.

His House is a horror flick that hits close to home. Revealing its supernatural evils through a harrowing human story, it follows Bol and Rial, a refugee couple from Sudan, who struggle to adapt to their new life in an English town. Don't expect straightforward jump scares -- His House plays into the psychological specters of the past, adding even more corridors of torment. A heartrending, powerful piece.
From here, the story functions a little like the mystery in Yellowjackets. We don't know whether Prairie is telling her new friends the truth or not. We don't know whether she truly has supernatural powers. To them, it doesn't entirely matter. She brings unhappy, trapped people together, showing them the same kindness and understanding they've afforded her. Showing them an escape.
