A funny new clip from the marketing for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy shows Cadets Jay-Den Kraag (Karim Diané) and Caleb Mir (Sandro Rosta) encountering The Doctor (Robert Picardo).

He’s visibly unimpressed with the pair!

Here are the seven hardest games on the Game Boy.

It’s easy to assume recent movie successes are simply due to strong marketing or famous actors – and celebrities definitely still draw audiences. However, that doesn’t tell the whole story. Big-budget, highly anticipated films aren’t performing as well as expected, suggesting something else is at play.

I was so excited when I heard People We Meet on Vacation was getting a movie adaptation! But honestly, the disappointment started right away with the casting choices. It just didn’t feel right compared to how I pictured the characters in the book, and it’s only gotten worse from there. The story follows Poppy and Alex, who are best friends but live far apart. They make it a tradition to take a summer trip together every year. It’s a sweet story about their friendship, and whether they might actually be meant for something more than just friendship – something everyone around them seems to already know!

The highly anticipated Resident Evil Requiem is scheduled to launch on February 27th, 2026. This new installment will return the series to the iconic Raccoon City after over ten years (excluding the remakes). To build excitement, Xbox is adding Resident Evil Village to Game Pass on January 20th. Released in 2021, Resident Evil Village is a great opportunity for players to experience or revisit the eighth main game in the series just before Requiem arrives.

When it was announced that filming for Star Wars: Return of the Jedi would begin on January 11th, 1982, excitement was incredibly high. This was the final chapter in a trilogy that had, up to that point, been flawless. The movie really needed to deliver a satisfying conclusion.
