While Child’s Play villain Chucky began life as a lone serial killer turned into a doll, by Seed of Chucky, he somehow had both a wife and child. The Child’s Play franchise has been a bit of a creative whirlwind at times, which is odd in a sense, as every film has been written by the same man: creator Don Mancini. Yet, while the first three Child’s Play movies are basically straightforward slasher films with a little levity here and there, Bride and Seed of Chucky are so comedic they border on outright farce....

The iPhone 5 is set to ship in China December 14 on the nation’s second and third largest carriers: China Unicom and China Telecom.

What’s more, if lab grown food replaces the agricultural business, what will happen to all of those jobs?...
