Zombies are the least of Alice’s problems.

Zombies are the least of Alice’s problems in Resident Evil: Retribution. Most franchises that make it to five movies start to run out of ideas, but if Retribution had one glaring problem when it was released in 2012, it’s that it has far too many of them.

Resident Evil: Retribution starts out as sort of a Resident Evil’s greatest hits with Alice (Milla Jovovich) reawakening yet again in the clutches of the Umbrella organization. The movie quickly invents a series of convoluted and confusing reasons for her to re-enact some of her greatest zombie battles from previous franchise entries and then proceeds to pit her against not only a rogue’s gallery of her greatest historical foes but also her most stalwart friends.

None of this makes any sense, and if you haven’t seen the five previous films, it’ll make even less. Don’t bother trying unless you’re already a serious Resident Evil fan.

Of course, the Resident Evil franchise has never been all that focused on developing intricate plot details, and that’s always been part of the fun. Yet they may have gone too far in this one; it was here that the franchise reached a place where it’s not only impossible to figure out what’s going on, but at some point, you don’t care.

You know where this is going, why it’s going there, and what it’s going to take to get there is irrelevant. Action scenes play out in extreme slow motion and seem to drag on forever. Even the most boring scene plays out at half-speed as if they needed to pad the movie’s running time.

Though the reasons for it don’t make much sense, the best part of Retribution is the return of some of the franchise’s greatest supporting actors. In particular, at the time, it was nice to see Michelle Rodriguez back on screen. We hadn’t seen her swaggering badass character since she was killed off in the first movie back in 2002. She owns every second she’s given in Resident Evil: Retribution, but there’s still all too little of her. Everything’s better with more Rodriguez.

The Resident Evil movies have always been a great little guilty pleasure, a special-effects-laden ride through a post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested world controlled by an evil corporate empire. But there’s less pleasure than usual in this one; it never comes together as anything other than a bunch of random ideas someone threw out in the hopes that at least one of them might work well enough to make fans happy with it. None of them do, and fan or not, it’s unlikely you’ll be happy you watched Resident Evil 5.

After the giddy, extravagant success of the fourth movie, Resident Evil: Retribution was a big letdown. It’s a flat and lifeless action movie that feels like it’s mostly going through the motions.

If you’re a Resident Evil completist, you’ll probably still want to see Retribution. After all, it has Ada Wong in it. If you’re ready to watch, Resident Evil: Retribution is available to stream.

Despite its poor reception, Resident Evil: Retribution didn’t kill the franchise. They managed one more entry, released in 2017, before Resident Evil went full reboot.

The K-Drama industry might recycle tropes as often as any other entertainment juggernaut, but one accusation can never grace their doorstep: failing to provide unique story concepts. In that regard, Sisyphus: The Myth is a particular highlight. The Netflix-distributed limited series was highly anticipated before it hit the 2021 market, thanks to its all-star cast, acclaimed director (Jin Hyuk, The Legend of the Blue Sea), and Korea’s local JTBC network promoting Sisyphus as an “anniversary special” to mark their tenth year on the airwaves. Blending dystopian sci-fi with mystery, action, and romantic elements, Sisyphus: The Myth isn’t for the faint of heart, but in a positive way; the celebration drama fires on all cylinders with enough high-octane thrills, intriguing twists, and apocalyptic stakes to rival a cinematic blockbuster.

What Is ‘Sisyphus: The Myth’ About?

Han Tae-sul’s (Cho Seung-woo), an eccentric engineer and the CEO of Quantum and Time, an advanced tech development company, already had a laundry list of issues before he survived a disastrous airplane crash. His older brother, Tae-san (Heo Joon-seok), passed away in a similar aviation accident 10 years earlier. Orphaned, lonely, haunted, and immensely capable of selfless love, Tae-sul conceals his wounded vulnerabilities by projecting an attitude of blithe arrogance, cutting wit, and irresponsible immaturity. Once he decodes staggering new facts about Tae-san’s death, his quest for the truth kick-starts a terrifying journey down the rabbit hole — especially since the impact of Tae-sul’s upcoming actions stretches further than he realizes.

Kang Seo-hae (Park Shin-hye), a battle-trained survivor from the near-future, travels back in time to prevent a nuclear war that reduces the country to a derelict wasteland. Her mission is two-fold: preventing Tae-sul from inventing a functional time machine, and protecting the disaffected genius from assassins sent by Sigma (Kim Byung-chul), a formidable enemy with vengeance on his mind and resources in his pocket. As the unlikely duo plays cat-and-mouse with Sigma as well as other covert enemies, Tae-sul and Seo-hae’s connection — something born of destiny or coincidence — blossoms into an impossible, dimension-shattering love.

‘Sisyphus: The Myth’ Is a Twisty and Visually Stunning Thrill Ride From Start to Finish

For any mythology aficionados, Sisyphus: The Myth‘s title hints at its primary ideas. The series is named after the Greek fable about a power-hungry and manipulative king condemned to spend eternity pushing a boulder uphill — an impossible, cyclical task that always ends in failure. Tae-sul and Seo-hae’s joint burden involves trying over and over again to overcome a doomed result, and the series reinterprets the ancient myth as simultaneously a futile punishment and a testament to the enduring human capacity for free will, perseverance, choosing to survive in a hostile world, and pursuing hope in the face of pre-determined odds.

In true melodramatic sci-fi fashion, every choice in Sisyphus, minor or major, has equal and opposite consequences on a global scale. The premise of individuals racing to rewrite the past fits the Sisyphean model and recalls The Terminator with a side-dose of Black Mirror‘s tech-induced dystopia mindset. That familiarity grounds audiences and gives the themes, as well as Sisyphus‘s contemporary spins on futuristic gimmicks (time travel apparatus, timeline loops, convoluted paradoxes, shadowy business investors, secret conspiracy shenanigans), room to flourish. Jin’s direction and the production budget lend the drama a visually interesting identity through vivid colors, kinetic action sequences, and several practical sets.

Engaging Characters and Magnificent Performances Give ‘Sisyphus: The Myth’ Its Heart

Cho (The King’s Doctor, Stranger), an award-winning triple threat bridging Korea’s movie, TV, and musical theater worlds, turns his adept hand for measured gravitas and micro-expression authenticity to Tae-sul’s shift from brash, self-centered, and artificially lackadaisical to his truest driving trait: i.e., altruism. Park (The Heirs, The Judge from Hell), also a prolific leading performer, renders Sao-hae as more than an elite soldier who’s been hardened by years huddling inside a nuclear fallout shelter or scavenging her kill-or-be-killed environment. This badass woman hasn’t sacrificed her capacity for kindness nor her femininity; she’s set both aside to ensure she endures long enough to protect her loved ones and innocent strangers alike.

As they evolve into an inseparable unit, Tae-sul and Sao-hae’s chemistry embodies the revelatory self-discovery and rebellious tenderness that can be found at the end of the world. Appropriately, Cho and Park’s synergy supports Sisyphus: The Myth‘s ambitious conceit with the grit, maturity, moral ambiguity, and love-struck foundation the series needs to distinguish itself from kindred narratives. The same praise applies to Sisyphus‘ supporting cast, whose characters parallel the heroes’ shared journey. Basic concepts like love and hatred add nothing new to that common refrain, but the ensemble’s superb performances render those dynamics enjoyable.

Sisyphus: The Myth does commit a few genre-specific and generalized storytelling sins. It struggles to maintain consistent momentum, indulges in convenience-based leaps of logic and internal narrative inconsistencies, and it employs an incongruous, if appropriately bittersweet, finale. To what extent those downsides distract from its positives will depend on each viewer’s personal preference. Sisyphus: The Myth might run for a K-Drama’s standard 16 episodes, but the high entertainment value those 16 hours provide — propulsive action, fascinating ideas, and compelling characters — fly by in an addictively rewarding binge.

Liam Payne‘s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, is reflecting on their last moments together.

The social media influencer, who was in a romantic relationship with the One Direction alum for two years before his tragic passing, was one of the last people to see him alive.

Ahead of the second anniversary of his death, Kate Cassidy took fans down memory lane, revealing the last activity she did with Liam Payne before his October 2024 death.

On Wednesday, April 29, Cassidy updated her Instagram page with a rare video of her and Payne before his October 16, 2024, passing. The clip began with a close-up of Cassidy on a horse, flaunting her toned physique in a casual, athletic-inspired ensemble.

Cassidy donned a grey long-sleeve crop sweater designed with a zipper at the front that ran up to the collar. She paired the number with fitted high-waisted leggings, showing off her riding skills before the camera panned over to Payne getting instructions from a horse wrangler.

The video continued with more shots of Cassidy riding her horse and Payne running down the grassy field. She penned her advice to fans in the overlay text, writing:

“Enjoy each moment life brings you. Because I didn’t know this would be the last time I’d ever see my boyfriend.. again in this lifetime.”

Fans Thank Kate Cassidy For Sharing Her Last Memory With The Singer

Cassidy’s musings continued in the post’s caption, where she described her final memory with Payne as “a beautiful last day spent [red heart emoji].” Her post received hundreds of sentimental comments from fans, who thanked her for sharing her precious moment with them.

“Such a beautiful memory,” an IG user declared, with another agreeing, claiming, “The unseen pics & videos always get me, you guys were just so beautiful together.” The sentiments continued with someone applauding Cassidy for staying strong in Payne’s absence.

While more fans raved about their love for Payne and their pain over his tragic passing, some critics made their voices heard in the comments. These disapproving fans slammed Cassidy for acting petty and trying to gain the public’s attention after Payne’s ex, Cheryl Cole, made headlines for her Disney World trip.

The Late Entertainer’s Ex Shared Tender Moments With Their Son

Before Cassidy became romantically linked to Payne, he used to make waves for his relationship with Cheryl. The two singers dated from 2016 to 2018 and welcomed their son, Bear Grey, in 2017. The mother and son made a rare appearance on her Instagram page on Tuesday, April 28.

Cheryl shared a carousel of images and clips from their outing to Disney World, including a video of her and Bear walking at the theme park. The clip showed the mother and son from the back, capturing the 9-year-old in an all-grey sweatsuit with a hood over his head.

Another picture showed Cheryl and Bear on a ride, but the little boy hid his face from the camera. “Somewhere in the corners of the world, magic still exists,” the singer raved in the caption, explaining that it had taken too long to enjoy the wonders of Disney World.

Kate Cassidy Is Ready To Date Again

Days before Cassidy shared her final moment with Payne, she surprised fans on TikTok with an emotional update about her life. She declared that she was finally ready to date again, 18 months after the singer’s tragic death on October 16, 2024.

In the April 24 post, Cassidy explained that she believed “love after loss” was a significant step in one’s grief journey. “I don’t know how that’s gonna feel, but what I do know is that I loved being in love,” she said.

The influencer added that she wanted kids of her own and believed Payne would want that for her. “If the roles were reversed, I would want him to be happy and fall in love again,” Cassidy claimed. Her words differed from her past somber state in 2025.

Liam Payne’s Girlfriend Reportedly Had A Challenging Time After His Death

Cassidy reportedly had a difficult time coming to terms with Payne’s passing after he plunged to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. The Blast shared in October 2025 that a friend of Cassidy’s had raised concerns about her well-being.

The source claimed Cassidy was devastated by Payne’s death, noting there were months when they never once saw her smile. “It was so concerning. She didn’t even seem like herself. She canceled a lot of hangouts and was almost a recluse,” Cassidy’s pal alleged.

The social media personality echoed similar sentiments in an October 2025 interview, claiming Payne’s death had taken a toll on her mental health. She recalled not wanting to do anything with her life and just living with her pain and grief.

The Kentucky Derby is already one of the most high-profile events in sports, drawing global attention every year. But this time around, the buzz isn’t just about the horses or the odds. A wave of speculation surrounding Taylor Swift has added an unexpected celebrity twist, putting even more eyes on her relationship with Travis Kelce heading into race day.

Speculation is heating up ahead of the 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, after a viral post claimed Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may be tied to one of the race’s contenders.

According to a post circulating on X, the couple is rumored to have taken a 10% ownership stake in Derby horse The Puma. “Source tells me that Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift are now 10% owners of Kentucky Derby starter The Puma,” the account wrote.

The claim has not been confirmed, and no official statements from ownership groups, racing insiders, or verified sources have supported it.

Rumor Spreads Beyond Social Media

Despite the lack of confirmation, the speculation has gained serious traction, and it’s not just online. Reports suggest the chatter has made its way to Churchill Downs itself, where trainers, jockeys, and owners are allegedly discussing the possibility of celebrity involvement in the race.

Even without proof, the buzz is only adding to the intrigue of an already high-stakes event. “T. Swift saves horse racing,” one X user wrote as another chimed in with, “big day for for swifties with gambling addiction (me).”

Others, however, note that the Met Gala is the following day, making them skeptical of the rumors.

Co-Owner Fuels Speculation With Cryptic Response

Adding fuel to the fire, Michael Iavarone, a co-owner of The Puma, addressed the rumors in a way that only intensified the conversation.

According to Heavy, Iavarone shared a photo on Instagram, writing, “Ok people. Everyone asking me if Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are partners on The Puma… all I can say is I signed an NDA so I can’t confirm or deny,” adding a winky face emoji. However, it seems the post has since been deleted.

Iavarone, who previously gained national attention as the majority owner of 2008 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Big Brown, stopped short of confirming anything, but his response has only added to the mystery.

Kentucky Derby Spotlight Extends Beyond The Track

While the race itself remains the main event, this year’s Kentucky Derby is also playing a major role in NBC’s milestone celebration. As the network approaches its 100th anniversary, it’s using the high-profile race as the launchpad for its latest NBC100 campaign.

Dubbed “Summer on NBC,” the 30-second promo will air during Derby coverage on both NBC and Peacock, while also rolling out across digital, social, and streaming platforms. The spot highlights the network’s lineup of live programming and major tentpole events, reinforcing its focus on must-watch, real-time viewing.

From fan-favorite competition series like “America’s Got Talent” and “American Ninja Warrior” to live sports coverage including Major League Baseball, the promo also teases major seasonal moments like the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks and the Summer Olympics, positioning the Derby as more than just a race, but a centerpiece in NBC’s broader summer strategy.

Full Field Revealed As Favorites Begin To Emerge

As of Thursday, the full lineup for the Kentucky Derby is set, with 24 horses officially entered into the race:

Renegade, Albus, Intrepido, Litmus Test, Right To Party, Commandment, Danon Bourbon, So Happy, The Puma, Wonder Dean, Incredibolt, Chief Wallabee, Potente, Emerging Market, Pavlovian, Six Speed, Further Ado, Golden Tempo, Fulleffort, Great White, Ocelli, Robusta, and Corona De Oro.

Heading into race weekend, a few contenders are already separating themselves from the pack. Renegade leads as the early favorite at 5/1 odds, followed closely by So Happy at 6/1. Commandment, The Puma, and Further Ado are also drawing attention at 7/1, positioning them as strong challengers in what’s shaping up to be a highly competitive field.

With the Kentucky Derby set to take place in Louisville as the first leg of the Triple Crown, all eyes will be on how the favorites hold up as odds continue to shift heading into race day.

Erika Kirk is calling out “comedians in whiteface,” Candace Owens, and the media days after the shooting at the White House Correspondent Dinner last weekend. Kirk’s comments come weeks after the internet claimed Druski used her as the inspiration for his viral skit mocking conservative women. In her response, Candace claimed that Charlie Kirk would’ve enjoyed the comedy and said jokes fall under the First Amendment.

Erika Kirk Addresses Candace Owens & Comedians In Clapback Video

On Wednesday (April 29), Erika shared a nine-minute video claiming the United States has become unrecognizable and that the truth is being “perverted.” She spoke about attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the alleged assassination attempt on President Trump, and how she’s perceived online and in the media.

As far as attending the dinner, Erika Kirk said she wanted to meet journalists who have allegedly “attempted to dehumanize” her and she wanted to “meet some of them face-to-face.” She added, “Why have a conversation about me when you can have a conversation with me?” 

In another part of her video, Erika spoke on comedians and “white face.” She didn’t name Druski, but over a month ago, he had the internet in shambles when he dropped a skit about “conservative women.” Scenes in the skit seemed to mirror real-life events, facial expressions and even outfits linked to Mrs. Kirk. At the time, even President Trump suggested she should sue over comedic skits. As for Candace Owens, following Charlie Kirk’s death in September, she’s shared critiques about the incident and his wife.

“I have comedians dressing up in whiteface, I have people saying I’m not fit to be CEO and I have Candace Owens claiming I murdered my husband and the list goes on…” Erika Kirk said.

Candace Owens Claims She Never Said Erika Murdered Charlie, Text Screenshot Circulates

On Thursday, one day after Erika’s video, Candace Owens responded on X. She explained how she handled Dave Chappelle previously mocking her. Then, she recalled Charlie Kirk’s reaction to a South Park episode about him.

“Were Charlie alive and the subject of the Druski skit, he would have laughed. Whether regarding Jimmy Kimmel, South Park, Chappelle or otherwise–any personl attempting to criminalize jokes is the enemy of free speech. Not one inch,” Candace Owens wrote.

When Dave Chappelle did a skit mocking me during BLM, I responded that I was flattered that he even knew my name.
When South Park did an episode mocking Charlie Kirk, he played it on repeat on his show.
Were Charlie alive and the subject of the Druski skit, he would have…

— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) April 30, 2026

Later, Owens reposted a video in a separate tweet as proof. In the video, the late Charlie Kirk says that conservatives need to have “a good spirit about being made fun of,” and keep thick skin, calling all conversation about them a win.

Charlie Kirk’s response to South Park—
He was the real deal and like I told you guys, he really did have the best sense of humor about everything, always. https://t.co/h6QpnOnVSw

— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) April 30, 2026

Candace Owens also commented on Erika Kirk’s video as a whole, calling it a “very uncomfortable watch” and a “painful prompter read.”

“A speech CLEARLY written by someone else. Objectively terrible so they will now pay for people to tell us otherwise. Also, of everything I’ve said about Erika she chooses to respond to something I never said. They always lie,” she added in a tweet.

Erika only response at this point appears to be a report of a text screenshot a representative of Turning Point USA shared on X. In the screenshot, a contact labeled as Candace Owens wrote, “I’m asking EVERYTHING. First question: Why did you murder your husband?”

Funny, you said exactly that to my former employee Aubrey. Yes, Aubrey took a screen grab of your chats and bragged about it to her friends. https://t.co/bebossdK93 pic.twitter.com/3VYultSyP9

To this point, Candace’s most recent tweet continues to dwell on the First Amendment protection of jokes. And to say THAT, she reposted a 2024 tweet from Charlie Kirk.

Why Is Jimmy Kimmel In The Mix? 

Days before a schoolteacher fired shots at the White House, Jimmy Kimmel joked about Melania Trump’s looks. On TV, the ABC host pretended to be hosting the Correspondents’ Dinner. During that, he joked about the First Lady looking like an “expectant widow.” Following the real-life shooting by Cole Tomas Allen, Trump and Melania have called out Jimmy Kimmel and ABC, demanding the host be fired. Trump and Kimmel have had a rivalry for years, though. Additionally, in response, Jimmy said the joke had nothing to do with the shooting, and clarified that it was a dig at the president’s age, which is 79.

The Valley’s Jesse Lally is speaking out after his ex-wife, Michelle Saniei, was recently spotted holding hands with hip-hop icon Dr. Dre.

“Michelle’s divorced and she’s single, and whatever makes her happy is cool,” Jesse, 45, told TMZ while out in Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 28.

“I did not get a heads-up,” the reality TV star added. “I saw it on social media the same way as everybody else.”

“The Dr. Dre thing — didn’t see that one coming!” Jesse said, adding that he never witnessed Michelle, 37, “listen[ing] to rap music, so dating Dr. Dre, good for her.”

Janet Caperna had to do a double take when she saw photos of her The Valley costar Michelle Saniei holding hands with Dr. Dre. “The first photo I saw was, like, kind of blurry and grainy,” Janet, 40, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, April 29, referring to the now-viral pics of Michelle, 37, out with Dre, […]

Jesse noted, however, that the first cassette tape he ever bought was an N.W.A record in 1988 — the year Michelle was born.

Jesse and Michelle were married from 2018 to 2023 and share daughter Isabella, 6. Following their split, Michelle dated Aaron Nosler, from whom she split in July 2025 after a year of dating.

According to Jesse, Michelle’s split from Aaron was particularly hard on their daughter.

“I hope she continues to be a great mom to Isabella and has Isabella’s best interests at heart, because I don’t think we can deal with the same collateral damage that we dealt with Aaron and Michelle breaking up,” the Bravolebrity said. “I just hope she’s really focused on Isabella right now. Other than that, she can do whatever she wants.”

“She’s happy. She’s single. She can do whatever she wants,” Jesse reiterated. “I just want her to really focus on making sure that Isabella doesn’t have to go through what Isabella went through with the Aaron breakup, because it was really difficult on all of us.”

Michelle and Dr. Dre, 61, were seen holding hands in pictures published recently by social media gossip account DeuxMoi, which reported that the pair were leaving a Nobu restaurant together.

On the Wednesday, April 29, episode of the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, Bravo alum Teddi Mellencamp revealed that she reached out to Jesse after the pictures dropped online.

“You realize I couldn’t help myself but text Jesse?” Teddi, 44, told cohost Tamra Judge. “[I wrote], ‘Dr. Dre?’ And he was like, ‘I was wondering why Isabella got a new pair of Beats.’” (Dr. Dre launched the Beats headphone brand in 2006.)

“I want to know how long has Dr. Dre been around this group,” Teddi pondered on her podcast. “Does he live in Santa Clarita? … But also, like, Michelle and Dr. Dre holding hands walking into Nobu? I couldn’t. I need more pictures, [and] I need more sightings. I need to understand. I mean, how do you go from Jesse to Dr. Dre?”

Star Wars fans are on top of the world right now — it isn’t every year that the franchise delivers two new projects before Summer arrives. The first big Star Wars project to break the internet so far this year has been Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, the Darth Maul-focused animated spin-off that’s set to conclude with two more episodes next Monday. Fans need not fret, though; Disney has already renewed Shadow Lord for a second season, and while no potential release date has been announced, it’s not out of the question for the show to return as soon as next year. Star Wars fans will also venture to the theater to see their favorite franchise on the big screen for the first time since 2019 when The Mandalorian and Grogu arrives next month on May 22.

One of the more exciting Star Wars projects that’s been in development for years now is Star Wars: Galactic Racer, the upcoming arcade racing game set in the Galaxy’s Outer Rim after the fall of the Empire. The game will feature multiple pilots and classes of spacecraft, along with podracers, landspeeders, speeder bikes, and more. Not only will fans have the opportunity to line up in the blocks opposite their friends online to see who crosses the finish line first, but Star Wars: Galactic Racer will also feature an immersive single-player campaign with story-driven cutscenes. This afternoon, Fuse Games released a new trailer for Star Wars: Galactic Racer, confirming that the game will launch worldwide later this year on October 6. It will be available on several platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and even PC.

What Other Star Wars Projects Are in the Works Right Now?

Beyond the first season of Maul – Shadow Lord and The Mandalorian and Grogu lies Star Wars: Starfighter, the original new Star Wars film written by Jonathan Tropper and directed by Shawn Levy. Ryan Gosling will headline the new space epic along with Amy Adams, Aaron Pierre, Matt Smith, and Mia Goth, and it’s currently set for release in theaters on May 28, 2027. Lucasfilm is even developing a new Star Wars movie around Daisy Ridley’s Rey, which has been tentatively titled New Jedi Order, but updates about the project have been sparse for a while now.

Check out the new trailer for Star Wars: Galactic Racer and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage from A Galaxy Far, Far Away.
