As if the heat emitted from the Magic Mike 3 trailer wasn’t enough, the film’s leading lady Salma Hayek increased the anticipation by wearing a fishnet dress to the premiere. The Oscar winner had the internet talking while posing with (and without) franchise star Channing Tatum. After the viral red-carpet moment, Hayek has remained silent

Pop culture comeback inspire so many responses, as no two stories are the same. Actor Brendan Fraser’s “Brenaissance” happens to be a good case of one of the sweetest reactions, as the 2023 Oscar nominations have seen him ride that wave to a Best Actor nod for his role in The Whale. While some minor
Since debuting in 1969, there have been countless iterations of Scooby-Doo and the gang. Ranking amongst some of the best Scooby movies are the 2002 and 2004 live-action takes on the beloved franchise. One of the film’s stars, Sarah Michelle Gellar, has recently shared her thoughts on whether or not a Scooby-Doo 3 is still
Top Gun was the highest grossing movie of 1986. Decades later, Top Gun: Maverick ended 2022 as the highest grossing movie of the year as well. Both movies were massive hits, despite coming out decades apart, so the obvious question becomes: Will there be a Top Gun 3? And if so, how long will we
It’s already the end of January 2023, and I haven’t even made a dent in my TBR pile. I made the mistake of looking at the new isekai manga releases for 2023, and…well, let’s say the idea of Other Worlds is MORE than appealing. It’s not just other worlds; I love the whole aesthetic: change

Bodyguard romances provide an excellent opportunity for a unique dynamic. You have your physical (and sometimes emotional) well-being in the hands of a bodyguard. They commit to keeping you safe from others and, sometimes, from your own reckless choices. There is a tension that develops then, between the protector and the person they are protecting.
Great historical fiction is immersive. As a kid, it often made me feel like I’d time traveled. Karen Cushman’s middle grade novels from the 1990s, The Midwife’s Apprentice and Catherine, Called Birdy, transported me. Historical fiction also made me realize what I had in common with people from the past and which social issues still
I sometimes fear that if I don’t buy a book, I’ll forget about it and it will be lost in the great chasm of time and space. That even if I add it to my Want-To-Read shelf on Goodreads, it will fall into the depths, never to be seen again (which is a possibility; I
Daphne Du Maurier’s career was long and storied; her life was equally so. Her books were huge bestsellers when they were published, and many live on in edition after edition. Du Maurier was a novelist, a poet, a playwright, an essayist, a literary critic, a nonfiction writer, and a biographer. In short, she was a
Nonfiction books are my jam, and nonfiction science books? Especially so. What I love is how broad the genre is. Science can include things like medicine, nature, ecology, marine biology, conservation, psychology, chemistry, microbiology, and much more. It can also include personal essay and memoir, and may weave in history. For me, that’s the beauty
Dear Stephen King: Last week, you had a tweet take off. I’ve seen it everywhere, including on several giant Facebook pages, Instagram pages, even on TikTok. The tweet, about book banning, is nice and sexy, attempting to break down the problem in under 280 characters. And you know, it was successful! Hey, kids! It’s your

Today, they gathered up some of the best new titles (August 2022 to January 2023 releases) in their own post. Goodreads notes that titles long enough to be a complete sentence
It’s the 21st century and the best cheap wallets are to be found inside the magical World Wide Web. In the wallet world, the difference between luxury and cheap isn’t all that great. The biggest differentiator might just be the brand name supplying it. By stripping a product of its world-renowned logo and opting for
The heavyweight hoodie is the daddy of hoodies. In my humble opinion, it is the best of all men’s hoodies. It brings the warmth of a great big bear hug, the comfort of a cup of tea, the volume of a pillow, and the durability of a Hummer. The best heavyweight hoodies combine all these
Though their roots date back to WWI, what we recognize today as the field watch didn’t fully hit its stride until the Second World War. As handsome as they are functional, most traditional iterations feature a black dial, white numbers, and the presence of military-time markers under the standard 12-hour numerals.
