When you break it down, Castlevania fans are still divided into two camps: one loves the old-school sidescrolling whip action of the original trilogy, while the other enjoys the Metroidvania entries a la Symphony of the Night. Indie developer Lv.4 Games has gone the “Why not both?” route with their fan game Castlevania ReVamped, combining both genres into one. Castlevania ReVamped is a Windows and Linux-based title which sports that classic 8-bit Castlevania look, but borrows features from the Metroidvania games to create a wholly unique package. As a result, Simon Belmont’s moveset is a mash-up of his classic adventures…

Glen Powell is such a big movie star right now that men are wondering if he’s already too big a movie star. He flew onto the A-list, and Tom Cruise’s Christmas list, thanks to Top Gun: Maverick, an absolutely massive summer blockbuster in 2022, and now, two years later, he’s back with another legacy sequel that, based on the initial response from critics, could be nearly as big. It sounds like Twisters is everything you’re expecting it to be.30 years after Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton blew us away (almost literally) in Twister, Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones lead the Twisters…

A TikTok post from the longtime Simpsons staple actress has caught the pop star’s growing audience up to speed about their familial connection The recent influx of fans Sabrina Carpenter has received since “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” began permeating pop aren’t fully caught up on all of her lore just yet.

Keri Russell remembers when she was no longer eligible to be a Mouseketeer. The Felicity alum began starring on the Disney Channel remake of the ’50s children’s variety series The Mickey Mouse Club in 1991. After two years, alongside the likes of Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling, she exited the series at the age of 17. And she has a theory as to why. “It’s usually girls who looked like they were sexually active,” the 48-year-old told Jesse Tyler Ferguson on the July 9 episode of his podcast Dinner’s On Me of who got the boot from the…

Considering the phenomenon that was Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, it’s only a matter of time before its success is sought to be replicated somehow. And when the Mattel-produced blockbuster had just been out for one week last summer, it was announced that Lena Dunham was writing and directing a Polly Pocket movie with Lily Collins as the star. A year later, we have an update from Dunham on her project, and as it turns out, the Girls filmmaker has already moved on from Polly Pocket playtime. While promoting her latest movie, Treasure, Lena Dunham bluntly told The New Yorker she’s out on…

Los Angeles authorities are investigating a fatal car crash involving Summer Wheaton. The influencer and self-proclaimed “wellness advocate” has been identified as the driver behind a 2019 Mercedes-Benz that crashed into a 2020 Cadillac on July 4 in Malibu, authorities told KABC.

While Silent Hill has always been my horror franchise of choice, there are few things that give me a more intense Pavlovian response than the voice saying “RESIDENT EVIL” on the title screen of that game. The PlayStation era was an important step into video games evolving into something more cinematic, and Resident Evil was a big part of that for me. Just six years later, Capcom remade the game into, in my opinion, one of the greatest survival horror games of all time, which is the version of the game that’s been most easily available today. While you can…
It can be pretty amusing when two celebrities look enough alike to confuse people. Jesse Plemons, for instance, has said he’s been mistaken for Matt Damon, and the Vampire Diaries cast has a whole running joke about Paul Wesley looking like Justin Bieber. The entertainment industry is full of pretty people, after all, so if fans are going to get mixed up, at least the comparison is usually flattering. Apparently that’s not the case when it’s your mom, though, or David Spade’s mom to be exact. The Saturday Night Live veteran revealed who his mother said he looks like, and…
Republican lawmakers aren’t waiting for the next Trump administration to begin chipping away at Biden-era protections for reproductive rights. As they allocate next year’s funding to federal agencies, hard-right legislators on the House Appropriations Committee are taking cues from the right-wing Heritage Foundation, the think tank behind Project 2025, as well as the conservative Christian legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom, whose lawyers helped draft the anti-abortion law the Supreme Court used to overturn Roe v. Wade. Politicians often attempt to use must-pass budget bills to push through unrelated, ideological provisions they know the average person will never hear about,…
