20 Vampire Movies You Should Watch After ‘Sinners’

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Vampire movies rarely win Oscars, or so it seemed. 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. Jordan) returning to their backwater hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi to establish a juke joint while navigating old relationships and dealing with the Klan leader who owns the sawmill they are look...

The MacBook Neo Is Here to Disrupt the Personal Computing Market

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. But none of that really matters when Apple is offering you a brand-new MacBook for just $599—or $499 if you buy through the Education Store. (Given the company doesn't actually require proof that you're a student or teacher to shop the Education Store, the Neo, is, effectively, a $500 MacBook. Wild.)If I were any other computer company, I'd be nervous right now. Apple is, of course, a giant player in the computing space already, but it isn't the largest. In fact, it's really in fourth, behind Dell ...
