While it’s not yet clear what most of 2024 will look like for PlayStation owners, Sony is starting the year strong. Next week, it’ll drop The Last of Us Part II Remastered as its first major exclusive. A few weeks later, it’ll dip into live service with Helldivers 2. The rest of the year is a bit of a mystery from there, but it looks like PS Plus will help fill in some potential gaps. To kick off 2024, PlayStation owners can claim three games at no additional charge with their PS Plus Essential subscription. The list…

There were plenty of handsome leading men in the Hollywood of the early 70s: Warren Beatty, Robert Redford, Kurt Russell, Burt Reynolds … but none of them were as purely and fascinatingly pretty as Ryan O’Neal, none with that cherubic pertness, complicated with a kind of wounded vulnerability: a pout, a frown, a beguiling flash of femininity to go with the dreamboat male-lead looks, which went hand-in-hand also with something worldly and hard-edged.It is a great moment in 1973’s The Thief Who Came To Dinner when Ryan…

via DreamWorks For anyone convinced the unending desire to run any notable property into the ground need look no further than The Ring Two, which released in March of 2005 and served as the sequel to the remake of a literary adaptation, one that had already launched a franchise of its own over in Japan. To hammer home the lack of originality even further, Ringu director Hideo Nakata was drafted in to replace Gore Verbinski behind the camera, meaning that he was helming the sequel to a movie he’d made in another…

We’ve finally seen a video of a Cybertruck windshield wiper in action, which should put rest to the debate of whether or not the absurdly large wiper is functional or not. Ever since the Cybertruck was first shown to the public, people have wondered how the enormous front window would be cleaned.

For someone who claims they have no desire to be an action hero, Dave Bautista has proven himself to be pretty good at it. While you rarely see him taking top billing in a big budget shoot ’em up, we’d be more than happy to see him make it a regular thing if they all turned out to be as ridiculously entertaining as 2018’s Final Score. An utterly ridiculous film from start to finish in the best possible way, there’s a ton of fun to be had in a film that throws an increasingly set of silly surprises your way, provided you…
