Oftentimes, our very worst enemies are ourselves. As CNN notes, our brains have developed in such a way that they focus more on negative experiences than positive ones.This used to help our ancestors survive because they’d hone in on potential threats. However, in this day and age, the sources of stress have changed for many people. Instead of worrying about potentially dangerous animals, we’re anxious about work, which can lead to a lot of baseless self-criticism if it gets out of hand. Luckily, this habit is something…

Wholesomeness, like what you see in this list, is the result of long-standing family values and…

As this Norwegian-made children’s feature begins, it’s coming up to Christmas time and tween Mariann (Marte Klerck-Nilssen) and her little brother (Vegard Strand Eide) are trimming the tree with extraordinary intra-sibling harmony. The era seems to be somewhere in the middle of the last century judging by the type of cars on the streets, the lack of semiconductor-driven toys and gadgets and, to an extent, the clothes – though Norwegians’ fondness for traditional dress, especially when it comes to loppisgenser or “flea”…

For the majority of his time in the MCU, Steve Rogers – aka Captain America – was a man out of time. A WWII soldier recruited by America to tackle Hitler and the Nazis, Captain America ended up frozen in a block of ice, then thawed in modern time with Nick Fury (Samuel L.

Through haphazard storytelling and…

The Flash is finally available on video-on-demand, and it’s perhaps appropriate, if unfortunate, that the big screen outing of the fastest man alive managed to land on VOD in the blink of an eye; such are the continued box office woes of films associated with the DC Extended Universe, the notoriously controversial Ezra Miller, and CGI that leaves a lot to be desired. Though, now that The Flash has made its way to a wider audience, it’s clear as day that the film’s greatest offense was all of those deep fake resurrections…
