In the early '90s, Bram Stoker's Dracula earned prizes for its costumes and makeup, and the 2000 meta horror comedy Shadow of the Vampire scored a couple of nominations, but that's about it—despite the influence of the genre stretching all the way back to 1922's Nosferatu. Until now.Sinners, writer/director Ryan Coogler's critical and box office powerhouse, is an unashamedly high-minded genre flick. Set largely in 1932, it follows twin brothers (both played by Michael B.

On Wednesday, Apple unveiled its long-rumored "low-cost" laptop, the MacBook Neo. To get to its attractive price point, the machine cuts some corners—it runs an iPhone chip, rather than a Mac chip; it only has 8GB of RAM; the keyboard lacks a backlight; the base model doesn't come with Touch ID.

In fact, Apple may announce one of its most interesting products in years during its March 4 keynote: the MacBook "Neo." This is a "budget" MacBook, smaller in size than the 13-inch MacBook Air, that may come in a variety of fun colors. Imagine the iPods of old, but n...
