Bond girl Alison Doody reunites with a View to a Kill co-star to mark 30 year anniversary
Irish star of the silver screen Alison Doody who shot to fame in the 90's with a series of bad girl roles in cult films like Indiana Jones and James Bond, has reunited with one of her Bond girl co-stars to mark 30 years since she starred in A View to a Kill. Southside stunner Alison, first made her Hollywood mark when she was cast as part of the 007 franchise, where she played to perfection the role of baddie Bond girl Jenny Flex in A View to a Kill. Now three decades on from when A View to A Kill first hit movie theatres around the globe, Alison has reunited with her View to a Kill co-star Papillon Soo Soo in the French villa where much of the film was shot, to mark the movie's milestone.

And in keeping with all great Bond movie plots, where good trumps evil and the bad guys and girls invariably meet a grisly end, Alison met her fate when she is double-crossed and left to die. But while she may have been killed off-screen, in real life she lived on and is now reliving her bond girl days in the French villa where the movie was made.

Dressed to kill in a sleek black power suit with towering patent black heels Alison is movie starlet personified. Alison Doody.

INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE is Coming Back To Theaters For Father's Day — GeekTyrant
"The man with the hat is back. And this time he's bringing his dad." Grab your dad, your leather satchel, and a fedora because Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is heading back to theaters for Father's Day, which is awesome, because I'll finally get to watch this movie on the big screen again! Fathom Events is giving fans the opportunity to relive one of cinema's greatest father-son adventures on the big screen. The 1989 classic returns June 14, 15, and 18 as part of their Big Screen Classics series. This is my favorite Indiana Jones movie. The chemistry between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery still hits. Despite only being twelve years apart in real life, their dynamic as Indy and his cranky, bookish dad somehow worked like magic. This movie delivered so many unforgettable moments: the motorcycle escape, the Venice catacombs, the literal leap of faith, and of course, Indy shouting 'DON'T CALL ME JUNIOR!' It's action-packed, hilarious, surprisingly emotional, and a good reminder that punching Nazis will never go out of style. This seems like a fun opportunity to take your dad to the movies. Even if my own kids don't take me, I'm still going to go see it! I'm up for going solo to soak in some nostalgia with a bucket of popcorn and that John Williams score echoing through the theater. When it comes to Father's Day plans, you could buy a tie for your dad… or you could take him to watch a classic father and son adventure film!

Everything to know before you go to Charlotte's new adventure escape room Keepers of Balance
A new massive adventure-style escape room facility is now open in Lower South End. Catch up quick: Keepers of Balance — started by Charlotte native Nick Maus, who partnered with former project designers from Universal Studios and Disney parks — is a family-friendly immersive experience that feels like you're stepping into the set of a movie like "Indiana Jones." Here are five things to know before you go: You're smarter together. Gather a group of two to six people to master physical and mental challenges that help you get into the next room. You'll want extra eyes to search for clues and assist with problem-solving. Think outside the box. Keepers of Balance has multiple immersive adventures to choose from, including an "Indiana Jones"-inspired game called "Temple of Light." You're tasked with capturing a light that represents goodness that you can disperse into the world. To do that, you'll have to use your mental strength to spot items that don't belong, search for missing pieces, find matching pairs, uncover riddles and even use sensory skills to help connect the dots. Be quick. You have 75 minutes to complete the entire experience. The "Temple of Light," for example, has five rooms with some transitional challenges along the way. Be patient. Don't stress if you're feeling stumped. Actors within the experience will provide hints along to way to guide you toward solving the riddle before the clock runs out. Plan your visit if you decide to go. Tickets sell out, so you'll want to book a time slot in advance to secure your spot. Tickets are $55 per person for groups of four and $50 per person for groups of five and six people. Find Keepers of Balance at 125 W Woodlawn Road. What's next: Over the next few months Keepers of Balance will open more adventures within its facility. "The Sunken Realm," which takes place in an old submarine with a goal to retrieve a lost artifact, will open in about four weeks. Another adventure called the "Rise of NEMESIS," where your goal is to retrieve a prototype robot, will open later this summer. Other adventures including "Beyond Darkness," which has references to the haunted ghost stories from Uptown's Dunhill Hotel, will open later this year.

Tested: Nvidia's GeForce Now just breathed new life into my Steam Deck
I don't want gaming to become another streaming subscription service that keeps going up in price. I don't want to put even more power in Nvidia's hands, particularly not right now. But I can't deny that the company's $20-a-month* GeForce Now is a near-perfect fit for the Steam Deck. I've been covering cloud gaming for 15 years, and this is the very first time I've wanted to keep playing indefinitely. What is GeForce Now? For the uninitiated, Nvidia's GeForce Now is a game streaming service that farms the graphical processing power out to the cloud. Instead of controlling a game running locally on your Steam Deck's chip, you're effectively remote-controlling an RTX 4080-powered* gaming rig in a server farm many miles away, which you sync with your existing Steam, Epic, Ubisoft, Xbox, and accounts to access your games and savegames from the cloud. *Nvidia's GeForce Now also technically has a free tier, and a 'Performance' tier, but I recommend you ignore both. For me, it was the difference between playing many games through a clean window or a dirty window, the difference between playing Alan Wake II and Indiana Jones with full ray tracing or none at all, the difference between comfortably stretching to 4K or not. Handhelds have already become my favorite way to play games. The Steam Deck is comfortable and easy to pick up whenever and wherever the mood strikes. But neither my Deck nor my aging desktop PC have kept up with the latest titles. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Baldur's Gate 3 can look like a fuzzy mess on a Deck, and I've never seen Alan Wake II, Portal RTX and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in all their ray-traced glory on my RTX 3060 Ti desktop. But today, with Nvidia's just-now-released GeForce Now app for the Steam Deck, I can play every one of those titles at near-max settings, anywhere in my home, for hours and hours on a charge. And if I dock that Steam Deck to my 4K TV, it can output 4K60 HDR and/or ray-traced graphics that put the PS5 Pro to shame. When we tested GeForce Now's last big upgrade in 2023, Tom and I agreed it wasn't quite on par with playing on a native PC. But on a Steam Deck, where I'm either playing on a low-res handheld screen or sitting across the room from a TV where I don't notice so many imperfections, it can feel like the best of both worlds. The best part might be this: while handhelds like the Steam Deck barely get two hours of such a game at potato graphical settings, I could get 7 to 8 hours of GeForce Now. I saw the cloud gaming service consistently sip under 7 watts from my Steam Deck OLED's 49.2 watt-hour battery, barely more than the system consumes at idle. And the new native app makes it a cinch to set up, with no more web browser-and-script workaround: just hold down the power button and switch to desktop mode, download the app, run it, and scan QR codes with your phone to link your various accounts. Oh, you'd best believe there are caveats. Giant gaping gotchas galore, which I'll explain as we go. But after testing the service for nearly two weeks, I'm starting to believe in cloud gaming again. Now, you might be wondering: how the heck am I playing a game where timing is so critical via remote control? Here's the first big caveat: you need a low-latency internet connection, a good Wi-Fi router or wired ethernet, and you need to be within range of Nvidia's servers for the magic to work. Download speed isn't as key: 50Mbps should suffice for 4K, and you can get away with less. But I'm armed with a AT&T Fiber connection, and I live maybe 30 minutes away from Nvidia's San Jose, California servers, which makes me a best-case scenario for this tech. Still, Nvidia has over 35 worldwide data centers now, including 14 distinct locations in the United States, and my colleagues with Xfinity and Spectrum cable internet in Portland and Brooklyn tell me Expedition 33 played just as well for them. 'The latency was negligible to the point that I wasn't missing parries,' Cameron Faulkner tells me, saying he nailed the Sad Troubadour on the first try. Jay Peters and I found we needed to adjust our timing a bit, but I wound up playing roughly half the game over GeForce Now and almost never looked back. Even with the best of connections, though, GeForce Now isn't bulletproof. Once or twice a day, my seemingly stable gameplay session would at least briefly unravel into a choppy mess. In single-player games like Expedition 33 and Indiana Jones I could easily forgive a few minutes of trouble, but my colleagues Antonio Di Benedetto and Erick Gomez saw it in otherwise stable twitch shooters where lag could be a bigger issue. 'I saw a handful of lag spikes / hiccups that would definitely screw anybody over in a competitive shooter, but thankfully they weren't at the worst times and they soon subsided,' Antonio tells me. You also give up some of the Steam Deck's portability. While you can plug and unplug the Steam Deck from a TV dock and seamlessly switch between big screen and small screen play, you can't just put the Steam Deck to sleep without ending the session and losing unsaved progress. (Unlike, say, Chiaki.) And although the native GeForce Now app supports 4K60, a big leap up from 1440p, you may find yourself squinting at tiny text because it doesn't scale the UI appropriately. Speaking of portability, public Wi-Fi generally isn't good enough for GeForce Now, and neither are most cellular connections — even with four bars of Verizon 5G UWB service and a wired USB tether to my phone, my stream quickly deteriorated into the jumble you see below. Only the very best cellular connection in my entire neighborhood, a spot right under a 5G tower where I can get 1,200Mbps down and 30 millisecond ping, felt playable to me. You may have noticed an asterisk* or two earlier in this story, back when I said I was testing a $20-a-month service that gives you the power of a GeForce RTX 4080. That's because Nvidia's GeForce Now also technically has a free tier, and a 'Performance' tier, and I highly recommend you ignore both of them, even just playing on a Steam Deck, because they're dramatically subpar. For me, it was the difference between playing Expedition 33 through a clean window, or a dirty window. (Epic spec, native resolution, vs. Medium spec, 50 percent resolution with DLSS). It's the difference between playing Alan Wake II and Indiana Jones on the Deck's screen with full ray tracing, or none at all and some graphical compromises to boot. It's the difference between comfortably stretching to 4K with some DLSS tricks, or not. But the biggest caveat with GeForce Now may be outside the company's control: you have to bring your own games, and yet you only can bring games where Nvidia has explicitly struck a distribution deal. Nvidia has made progress: 165 of my 457 Steam games are now available to play, up from 85 two years ago. The company offers over 2,100 games in total across Epic, Ubisoft, Xbox, and GOG too. But Nvidia has no games from Sony, so I'm not playing Helldivers 2, no games from Rockstar, so I'm not playing GTA V or Red Dead Redemption 2, and no Elden Ring, no PUBG, no Schedule I or Football Manager or FIFA or NBA or The Sims. We never quite know which games GeForce Now will get, or when, or if they might disappear. Cloud gaming has never felt like a better deal, now that the service has matured, now that handhelds can make such good use of it, and now that buying your own GPU is such a ridiculously expensive proposition. Maybe I'll defer my own next GPU upgrade in favor of a subscription.
