Jeff Goldblum is his own cult classic and somehow he’s transcended the very films he’s in to be even larger than life. I hate to describe him as “kooky” or any other goofy word for that matter. He is best described by his laugh employed in the helicopter in the first Jurassic Park film. Google […]
Thor Love & Thunder Kiwi Director Taika Waititi single handedly made Thor the only Marvel flick worth our time of day when they released Thor Ragnarok.

I’m not sure this is the sort of thing that should be running in a magazine that has a primary focus in success and the accumulation of wealth, but new research is calling into question the economic principle of unlimited want. This principle ties into the fundamental economic problem of having limited resources to scratch […]
Our body is full of joints, and not just the few you immediately think of in your arms and knees. Time and use causes wear and tear on our joints, and if we don’t take care of them properly, it can start to have run-on effects in the future. But how exactly can you take […]

When was the last time you had after-party, after dinner cocktails with friends? For me it was… Friday, but that was at home. That was lacking a little mystique and socialising.

Maybe the best thing to come out of this years oscars was the excuse to rewatch G.I. Jane, the 199X classic by Ridley Scott, the king of on-screen tough women.

You might think that to stay 100% healthy you should hassle your doctor once a year.

If your building isn’t the biggest “something” in the world, is it even worth making? For example, in Mongolia a 40-metre tall stainless steel statue of Genghis Khan on a horse has taken out the award from being the World’s tallest equestrian statue.

Saints Row Reboot PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, Microsoft Windows The first Saints Row game kind of sucked as poor knock off of GTA. With each new entry, it started to get weirder and wackier as it found its own voice. The reboot sets the clock back to […]
