Star Wars is a long-running sci-fi franchise that revolves around the adventures of the Jedi, a group of Force-sensitive beings who hope to bring peace to the galaxy.

The two have powerful chemistry, starting when they attended culinary school to tap into their roles as chefs in a struggling Chicago restaurant. Jeremy Allen White spoke with Variety on the “competitive” nature of their relationship:...

However, as our knowledge of outer space and the universe grows, so do the possible stories we can tell about them. With the possibilities seemingly infinite, eventually somebody is going to get the idea that they can rule it all. As many films and TV shows have shown, some characters have made some very notable attempts to do just that....

Deborah Rhea Seehorn is an underrated actress. Her extensive portfolio of work includes characters in a range of genres including comedy, drama, thriller, horror, and sci-fi. One reason Rhea Seehorn’s work often goes unnoticed could be because she has yet to win a major acting award, though that hardly means that her work as an actress isn’t good. On the contrary, fans and her co-stars say she’s grossly overlooked; she is quite the force to be reckoned with despite not being a common household name or having the sought-after Hollywood A-list actor status....

Original Scream writer Kevin Williamson says there’s no way Matthew Lillard’s character survived the events of the film. In the first Scream movie, released in 1996, Lillard’s Stu Macher and Skeet Ulrich’s Billy Loomis were revealed to be the masterminds behind the Ghostface killings. However, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) thwarts their plans by killing them both, dropping a television onto Stu’s head, and putting a bullet in Billy’s brain. It seemed pretty clear that both Ghostface killers were dead when the credits rolled, but in the years since, fan theories have emerged that Stu actually survived the television electrocution....

When news about SuperMax was first unveiled, many fans of DC Comics’ Green Arrow were a little upset. I don’t know if the script review from the guys at Latino Review will relieve all of their concerns, but it might at least be a step in the right direction.

As Dench’s M, with a look of complete bereavement, stares out across the London skyline, her prized asset plunging into the Bosporus river in Istanbul, wounded, and ultimately presumed dead.

There was no way Saturday Night Live wasn’t going to satirize the infamous Oscars incident. On Saturday night’s new episode, hosted by Jerrod Carmichael, one particular sketch was devoted to the slap heard ‘round the world when Will Smith smacked Chris Rock over a Jada Pinkett Smith joke. The SNL skit, which you can watch below, imagines what that must have been like to see for Smith’s seat filler, who thinks he’s having the best night of his life… at first....
