At the moment, it looks like Star Wars is done and over with Daisy Ridley’s Rey, and the franchise is looking to branch out into a Skywalker-free future. As new pathways will open with Rogue Squadron’s big upcoming movie, and even The High Republic era of storytelling filling in past gaps in the history of the Jedi, there seems to be less of a need to stay put in a galaxy so vast and far, far away. But who knows what’ll come up in the future?

But for now, Darla and Ralph Angel are swooning over their “small but stylish” wedding plans and a honeymoon in New York City. It all sounds wonderful, and it’s an event I desperately want to see, which is why it’s so difficult to know the…
Exclusive Details No bikini? No deal. Two world-class beach volleyball pros from Germany say they will boycott an upcoming tournament in Qatar over a policy that prohibits women from wearing skimpy bikinis on the court. The women behind the boycott are 32-year-old Karla Borger and 33-year-old Julia Sude — two respected veterans in the sport who compete for the German national team.

In 2003, writer Alan B. McElroy and director Rob Schmidt introduced an early aughts backwoods slasher that launched a six-film franchise. The setup was simple; a group of unwitting tourists or passersby fall prey to a clan of inbred cannibals.

This new update shares commonality with the franchise in name only, opting instead to create a tonally-confused road trip into the unpredictably bizarre. The new Wrong Turn opens with Scott (Matthew Modine) traversing rural Appalachian towns searching for his missing daughter. He’s met with…

In a statement on the game’s official Discord channel, it was announced that developer Hardsuit Labs has been removed from the project to take it in the direction the owners feel is required. So while…
