Ahead of the release of Zach Cregger's reboot today, there were already seven Resident Evil movies — six of them in a more action-oriented series starring Milla Jovovich, four of which were directed by her husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, plus an unrelated "reboot" in 2021 called Welcome to Raccoon City that went for more of a John Carpenter vibe and was an attempt to truly "adapt" the games. There's also a Netflix TV show version that ran for a single season in 2022. Countless other works in the horror genre have unofficially cribbed from the Resident Evil games over the years. It's an incredibly influential series.
And yet, Zach Cregger, hot off his Oscar-winning original horror film Weapons, is the first filmmaker to truly feel like he's adapting the experience of playing the games, arguably the scariest survival-horror ones ever made, rather than simply incorporating story and plot elements to explain the outbreak of infected people. In Cregger's hands, Resident Evil is pure crowd-pleasing popcorn cinema, best experienced in a packed movie theater with dozens of other people reacting loudly to the madness.
The premise couldn't be simpler — and the runtime a brisk 90ish minutes — as we follow a medical courier named Bryan (Austin Abrams, proving himself to be the Bruce Campbell for a new generation) who unwittingly finds himself fighting for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in a swirl of chaos. Fans of the video games will recognize various easter eggs and nods to game mechanics, including the importance of conserving ammo and checking every last drawer for more of it.
But you don't need to be familiar with the games at all to enjoy the movie, which is an efficient horror set-piece machine that just keeps putting Abrams in increasingly concerning situations. I can't stress enough how much this is a one-man show anchored by Abrams, and he crushes it. He's in every scene, earning tons of laughs simply by reacting as a normal person would in this situation; he's a true audience-surrogate character, ushering us through the chaos. His comedic timing, paired with Cregger's ****** ured camerawork and editing, is a match made in genre-movie heaven.
I didn't expect it to be so heavily inspired by genre classics like The Thing and Evil Dead. In fact, it's a better Evil Dead movie than the last several movies with "Evil Dead" in the ****** le, nailing the horror-comedy tone that only Sam Raimi and a few others can pull off with aplomb. Cregger has a ton of fun with the various monstrous forms that the infected take here, from fusing multiple humans together to crafting his own horror take on a big, scary guy like Dune's Baron Harkonnen. Resident Evil movies have thus far treated the zombies as pretty traditional movie zombies; Cregger's version gets at the attempt to create the next stage of human evolution.

BOSTON, Sept 11 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Friday blocked U.S. President Donald Trump's administration from continuing to ask applicants for civil service jobs throughout the government to respond to what unions described as a partisan "loyalty question."
U.S. District Judge George O'Toole in Boston sided with three unions representing government workers who sued last year after the administration began asking applicants for nonpartisan federal jobs to write essays explaining how they would help advance Trump's policies and executive orders.
The unions, including the American Federation of Government Employees, argued the question mandated by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) unlawfully politicized the hiring process for career government workers by attempting to **** s their support for the Republican president.
O'Toole, an appointee of Democratic President Bill Clinton, said the question had been asked of applicants to positions ranging from an air traffic control specialist to a crane operator to a nuclear materials courier.

Deion Branch's advice to his group of Louisville wide receivers for this week is to keep the noise outside and stay off the internet.
Turn off the TV — not even SportsCenter — or any kind of media. No "rat poison," as Nick Saban would say.
"The spreads and what we're favored by, that stuff doesn't matter," Branch told the Cardinals, who are favored by 36.5 points against Villanova. "You still have to go out and play the game. We have to go out and execute our plays. I need my guys to perform at a very high level for the team and also for themselves. ... So that's my message to the guys. Don't pay any attention to it. Just come in here and continue to work and push forward."
Louisville won't be overlooking the Wildcats tonight in its 2026 home opener. There was too much to work on in the team's 41-38 season-opening loss to No. 11 Ole Miss. Defensively, the Cards need to limit big plays and prevent completions up the seam. Offensively, they need to make sure that quarterback Lincoln Kienholz settles in sooner and doesn't jump out of the pocket before necessary. Having a full game under his belt will help the Ohio State transfer do that. In his first start, Kienholz completed 62.1% of his passes (18-29) with two touchdowns and became the first Louisville starting quarterback to throw for at least 300 yards in his debut (307 yards) since Kyle Bolin, then a redshirt freshman, threw for 300 yards in a 37-14 loss to Georgia in the 2014 Belk Bowl.

More than 200 older adults were talked into withdrawing their savings and handing it to couriers sent to collect it.
Tarrant County, Texas, prosecutors put the total allegedly fleeced at more than $250 million. A call would come in warning that the victim's money wasn't safe where it was. The instruction was to get it out of the bank and into gold, bitcoin or cash.
And they say the gold rarely stayed gold for long. It moved through shell companies to a refinery in Florida, where gold bars became molten puddles.

BUENOS AIRES, Sept 4 (Reuters) - When traffic authorities confiscate a delivery rider's motorcycle in Buenos Aires, getting back to work can depend on taking out costly digital loans, feeding a debt cycle that is increasingly binding Argentina's gig workers to the apps they rely on for income.
Albert Quintero, a 41-year-old courier, earns on average 70,000 pesos ($46) per day delivering takeaway meals. But recovering an impounded motorcycle can cost around 140,000 pesos ($90) in fines and fees, a bill he says many workers can't afford without borrowing.
More app workers are turning to fintech loans, including credit offered by the same delivery platforms they work for, despite interest rates that regularly run into triple digits.
Apps such as PedidosYa offer loans to riders at a 131% annual rate, while digital wallet Personal Pay charges around 170%.

Private equity firm Trident Management appears to be an early mover in bolting together small courier businesses onto a platform that can offer shippers greater regional density and reach as an alternative to large, legacy parcel carriers.
Trident-backed Priority Courier Experts, which serves B2B customers in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and upper Midwest, last week said it acquired Priority Dispatch Inc. and Diamond Expedited, Midwest providers of same-day courier and box-truck freight services for the healthcare and e-commerce industries, and Atlanta-based Inpax Shipping Solutions.
Priority Dispatch was founded in Cincinnati in 1973. Diamond Expedited began serving the greater Chicago area in 1995. The companies, which were bought from the same individual, also cover Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton and Toledo, Ohio; Indianapolis; Detroit and Milwaukee, with 43 employees and more than 500 independent-contractor drivers. Their combined delivery traffic is about 250,000 orders per year.
Inpax is active in seven markets across the South, including Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina and Florida. With 75 employees and more than 335 owner-operators it delivers more than 400,000 orders per year. In addition to e-commerce pickup and delivery, it offers local and regional truck brokerage and tractor trailer freight.
In December 2024, Priority Courier Experts purchased Indianapolis-based Now Courier.

GREENVILLE — Hayden Panettiere would have turned 37 today. Instead of celebrating, the focus remains on determining how the actress suddenly died over the weekend while visiting Greenville.
As the coroner's office still works to determine her cause of death, agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration have reportedly joined the Greenville Police Department's investigation, several news outlets have reported. The Post and Courier emailed the agency Aug. 21 and received an automated response that said "non-urgent press queries may take up to 48 hours."
The New York Times noted that the DEA has become involved in investigations after other famous people have died suddenly, including the overdose death of Matthew Perry in 2023.
"There's nothing to be shared at this time as the investigation is ongoing, but we are hopeful that justice will be served," a representative of the late actress said in a statement shared with ABC News.
First responders arrived at Judson Mills Lofts in Greenville just before 2 p.m. Aug. 16 for a report of a woman in cardiac arrest inside an apartment. After attempting to resuscitate Panettiere, she was ****** ounced dead at the scene at 2:34 p.m.

The national parcel carriers that once set retail delivery economics have spent a decade shedding their least profitable packages. What filled the gap is a deeper bench: regional carriers, 3PL cross-dock networks, gig courier platforms and private fleets. As it turns out, almost none of them talk to each other.
Burq, a last-mile delivery technology company, wagers that last-mile orchestration — the decision layer sitting above that bench — is the product enterprise retailers will actually pay for.
The shift is already underway. FreightWaves reported in July that carrier diversification is eroding the last-mile delivery duopoly: 55% of retailers now use carriers outside FedEx, UPS and the U.S. Postal Service, and more than a third are actively moving volume away from the two national giants. The payoff is measurable. In one example, home goods brand Caraway cut total parcel costs 20% after its 3PL began shopping every order across a network of regional and national carriers. Capturing that value requires knowing which provider performs in which ZIP code on which day. Most retailers do not know, because the systems that pick a carrier stop watching the moment the order leaves.
Jake Stein joined Burq four months ago to run growth for its retail sector, after four and a half years at Uber launching ship-from-store, same-day and on-demand programs on Uber Direct. The limitations of using a single network are what pushed him out.
"It still came down to that Uber couldn't be the single source for everything," Stein told FreightWaves. "Mostly gig, reasonably shorter distances, some batching but not large scale, no big and bulky. And they can't be 100% of every possible location."

A home series against Bangladesh was expected to give Australia a chance to shake off the rust and begin a busy year of Test cricket. Instead, the nine-wicket defeat in Darwin has left the top-ranked side facing questions about its batting and the future of the team.
Australia were beaten inside four days on Sunday after Bangladesh dominated the first Test. The result was described by Australian media as one of the country's biggest Test defeats, with ninth-ranked Bangladesh outplaying the hosts.
The second and final Test in Mackay, Queensland, begins on Saturday and now carries greater importance than expected. Australia need a convincing win to level the series and ease concerns that the Darwin defeat was more than just a one-off result.
"Let's call this out for the gob-smacking shambles that it was ... Australia's nine wicket loss to Bangladesh is both the greatest upset in Test history and the most humbling Test loss ever suffered by an Australian cricket team," veteran cricket writer Robert Craddock opined in the Courier Mail newspaper, as quoted by Reuters.
"None of Australia's 236 Test losses over 150 years quite compare to it."
Captain Pat ****** mins did not try to hide Australia's poor performance after the match. He said the game was lost on the opening day, when Australia were dismissed for 198, but the problems extended beyond that innings.
Australia struggled throughout the match, losing ground across all four days and in every session.
The main focus has been on the team's batting. The concerns are not new and had already emerged during the home summer, when Australia won the Ashes 4-1 against England.
Opener Jake Weatherald has yet to show that he can consistently perform at Test level and may get one more opportunity in Mackay.
Marnus Labuschagne is also under pressure after two poor dismissals in Darwin. Once a key player in Australia's top order, his continued struggle is putting more pressure on the batters below him.
The defeat has also renewed calls for Australia to bring in younger players. Head coach Andrew McDonald and his coaching staff may have to consider changes despite the lack of young batters putting up enough runs in domestic cricket to demand selection.

Global freight middleman Ceva Logistics has completed the acquisition of couriers Paack Iberia and Paack France for integration into Colis Privé, its European last-mile delivery business.
About 490 employees will join Colis Privé through the transaction, which aims to strengthen the company's domestic network in France while enabling it to expand into Spain and Portugal, two fast-growing e-commerce markets, the company announced last week.
Ceva Logistics, part of France-based conglomerate CMA CGM, originally announced the deal in late June.
Paack supports retailers with an extensive delivery network (82 transfer centers and more than 5,000 active pickup points) in the Iberian peninsula and six urban delivery stations in France, bringing packages to individual residences as well as out-of-home delivery points.
Based in the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolitan area, Colis Privé relies on a national network of 56 sorting hubs and operational centers, as well as approximately 5,000 delivery drivers, to deliver parcels across France every day. In 2025, the acquisition of MIPI, which has more than 300 delivery drivers, strengthened its coverage of France's major metropolitan areas. The company serves leading French and international e-commerce players and is also present in Belgium and Luxembourg.

Ceva Logistics, part of France-based conglomerate CMA CGM, originally announced the deal in late June.
Paack supports retailers with an extensive delivery network (82 transfer centers and more than 5,000 active pickup points) in the Iberian peninsula and six urban delivery stations in France, bringing packages to individual residences as well as out-of-home delivery points.
Based in the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolitan area, Colis Privé relies on a national network of 56 sorting hubs and operational centers, as well as approximately 5,000 delivery drivers, to deliver parcels across France every day. In 2025, the acquisition of MIPI, which has more than 300 delivery drivers, strengthened its coverage of France's major metropolitan areas. The company serves leading French and international e-commerce players and is also present in Belgium and Luxembourg.

(NewsNation) — Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell was the subject of a scathing "pre-obituary" by his hometown newspaper.
Joseph Gerth, a columnist for the Louisville Courier Journal, published a piece reflecting on the 84-year-old's career even though McConnell is still alive.
The piece was highly critical, saying McConnell dismantled civil rights protections he once advocated and enabled President Donald Trump.
These democratic socialists are running in 2026 elections
"Unlike Nixon, McConnell never paid for his sins that have damaged our nation's trust in government, destroyed the country's ability to have meaningful dialogue and cemented our nation's politics as an arena in which winning is the only thing that matters," Gerth wrote in the publication, calling McConnell a "detestable figure."

Growth in last-mile delivery for big and bulky e-commerce items has slowed by half because stagnant home sales mean people are ordering fewer large-ticket discretionary items like furniture and appliances, cutting into profit margins, according to a report from Armstrong & ******* ociates and the National Home Delivery ******* ociation.
Armstrong & ******* ociates estimated the $10.6 billion market for residential delivery of oversized and heavyweight items will grow at a 5.1% compound annual rate through 2027, down from 10.6% over the past eight years, reaching an estimated value of $12.3 billion. Winning service providers will be those that can best execute core, commoditized services such as white-glove delivery, time-definite, returns and in-home ******* embly.
The expansion continues to be driven by major retailers and e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, Wayfair, Home Depot and Lowe's, which have made large-format products central to their online offerings. Many third-party logistics providers (3PLs) support them, primarily utilizing independent contractors and freight brokerage operations, but the work is more complex and cost-intensive than for final-mile couriers in parcel networks who simply drop off packages at doorsteps, or in mailboxes.
As more consumers purchase ******* bersome products online, carriers face growing pressure to provide not just transportation to the curb, but a premium, in-home delivery experience that may include setup, installation, and even haul-away services, while keeping costs under control, the report said.
Demand for exercise equipment, mattresses, furniture and other large items is closely tied to switches in living locations. When people and businesses move, they tend to upgrade items, or add new ones to fill larger ******* es.

DoorDash on Tuesday announced a deeper dive into the retail world by allowing independent merchants on Shopify that also have a physical store to easily add their product catalog to the DoorDash marketplace, further highlighting how it is becoming a competitor to Amazon, Walmart, Uber Eats, Roadie and legion of independent couriers in the on-demand e-commerce delivery **** e.
The delivery platform has been expanding for several years beyond its origin model of delivering restaurant meals into grocery and retail delivery. Last month, DoorDash (NASDAQ: DASH) announced a partnership with Autoparts.com for its gig drivers to deliver parts orders for the online retailer in under an hour.
The Shopify (NASDAQ: SHOP) integration targets small-and-medium sized local businesses as the next growth category. Retailers can add their products to the DoorDash marketplace by enabling a new sales channel within the Shopify app store, with no separate onboarding process, manual catalog uploads or disruption to existing operations, DoorDash said in a news release.
""Merchants want to sell wherever their customers are, and increasingly that means meeting them with speed and convenience," said Atlee Clark, vice president of partnerships at Shopify. "This integration puts local retailers in front of millions of DoorDash shoppers and turns same-day demand into sales, all managed inside Shopify."
DoorDash said products and inventory are automatically aligned in the system so when a customer orders what's on DoorDash always matches what's on the shelf, without the retailer having to manually manage stock levels.

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Alexis Cubit, The Courier Journal's Louisville football beat writer, discussing ACC football as the league begins its annual Kickoff event on Wednesday.
If the adage "defense wins championships" still applies in this day and age in football, then Cubit believes the Cardinals are in a good spot to contend with Miami for the ACC crown. She points to head coach Jeff Brohm promoting linebackers coach Mark Ivey to co-defensive coordinator as a major reason why that unit should stand out.
Cubit also explains why Lincoln Kienholz may have more competition at quarterback than the other transfers Brohm brought in over his past three seasons.
Hear about that and more on this week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show.

The Cincinnati Business Courier has reported that Kroger Co. and Procter & Gamble Co. will no longer sponsor the LPGA’s Cincinnati stop.
The Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G was on the LPGA's schedule for five years. The event was strongly attended, with roughly 50,000 fans, and held over three different courses, most recently at Maketewah Country Club, where Lottie Woad held off Haeran Ryu for the ***** le. Typically held in the fall, the event moved to mid-May in 2026.
“After thoughtful consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to focus our efforts in other areas that align with our long-term priorities," a Kroger spokesperson told the Cincinnati Business Courier.
In February, Kroger appointed Greg Foran as its new Chief Executive Officer.
The 2026 LPGA schedule includes 31 official events. LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler, who has been in the position for a full year now, is working toward a revamp of the tour’s schedule, though details of a future blueprint have yet to be shared. Sources say the tour is expected to announce at least one new event in the coming months.

Kenny Klein, the beloved longtime Louisville Athletics sports information director of four decades who saw the Cardinals through two men's basketball national **** les and an ascendance through five conferences, has died. He was 65.
Klein's family confirmed his death to The Courier Journal on June 25. The Southside, Tennessee, native spent 39 years working for the Cardinals — arriving in 1983 as a sports information director and retiring in 2022 as a senior **** ociate athletics director.
During a June 18 meeting of the University of Louisville Athletic **** ociation board, athletics director Josh Heird said Klein had been hospitalized after "a pretty tragic event a week ago" and was "battling to survive."
Klein was best known as the primary spokesperson for Louisville men's basketball — logging 1,309 consecutive games, according to a university release when he announced his retirement. He worked alongside two Hall of Fame coaches in Denny Crum and Rick Pitino, then moved into a part-time position as a consultant when the program changed hands from Chris Mack to Kenny Payne.
In 2010, Pitino famously gifted Klein a red Lexus IS 350 convertible for his 50th birthday. Klein spent the past two seasons as a special advisor to the coach at St. John's. In multiple posts to X during that stretch, Pitino referred to him as his "main man."
