While the 2001 original was an enjoyably lively demonstration of Robert Rodriguez’s infinite resourcefulness, subsequent installments have felt stale and grating. 10 Interesting Facts About Earth's Oceans These are movies for families and sometimes by his family, as the Austin-based auteur often likes to include his own kids on camera and behind the scenes. The “Spy Kids”-adjacent “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D” from 2005 reportedly sprang from the imagination of his then-seven-year-old son, Racer Max, who received a writing credit. who received a writing credit. But families deserve better than the cheap-looking and cloying reboot of the franchise, “Spy Kids: Armageddon,” now streaming on Netflix and playing theatrically in limited release. It’s more of the same, without any discernible improvement in quality, despite the massive technological leaps over the past two decades. Rodr...

 It all starts with a sketch. Or so says Albert Hughes about his work on the series The Continental: From the World of John Wick. Set in New York City in the ‘70s, the series is a prequel to the John Wick films that explores the origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins. Following the young hotel proprietor Winston Scott, a role portrayed by Ian McShane in the films and Colin Woddell in this version, The Continental tells the origin story of a chain of hotels that serve as a neutral ground for an underworld of assassins. While Winston rises to helm The Continental eventually, during the timeline of the series he is just a businessman who is not well connected. To move up the chain and gain more control, Winston puts together his own crew which includes a former Khmer Rouge soldier, Yen (Nhung Kate), and siblings with a martial arts background, Lou (Jessica Allain) and Miles (Hubert Point-Du Jour). The series also stars Mel Gibson, Mishel Prada and Ben Robson. Hughes (The Book of...

 It said higher borrowing costs for buyers had led to a slowdown in activity in the housing market. Mortgage approvals are also about 20% below pre-Covid levels. Since December 2021, the Bank of England has lifted interest rates 14 times in row in a bid to clamp down on rising consumer prices in the UK. The bank's base rate now stands at 5.25%. That, in turn, has led to lenders raising their mortgage rates, putting increased pressure on homebuyers. Nationwide's chief economist Robert Gardner said the rise in the cost of borrowing meant the fall in average house prices was "not surprising". He told the BBC's Today programme that affordability for house was "much more stretched than it was before" pointing to a typical rate now being towards 6% compared to 1.5% in late 2021. "Clearly that has had a big impact on the market as a whole," he added. "I think it is going to take time for things to pick up at all." According to financial info...

  The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup came to a close Sunday (on FOX and the FOX Sports app) with a thrilling matchup at Sydney's Stadium Australia, where Spain defeated England 1-0 to win its first ever Women's World Cup title. Still a long way to go, but a good bit of stoppage time can be expected once this game reaches 90 minutes due to the lengthy VAR review, the multiple substitutions by Spain and a player down injured.   A lengthy VAR check sent the referee to the monitor to review a potential handball in the box against England's Keira Walsh. The ball struck Walsh's right hand as she lunged toward her right to impede Mariona Caldentey. The review took several minutes, and the end result was a penalty kick awarded to Spain — a massive, massive decision. Spain manager Vilda made his first change of the second half by replacing right-winger Alba Redondo with Oihane Hernandez, which was an interesting move considering Hernandez primarily plays as a defender. She was ...

What   is aspartame? After several decades of research on artificial sweeteners (ASW) to reduce obesity and diabetes rates, aspartame was discovered in 1965 and eventually brought to market in 1981. Aspartame is between 150-200 times sweeter than sugar and, as a result, does not increase the caloric value of food and drink products. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for aspartame is 50 mg/kg, whereas European regulatory bodies recommend an ADI of 40 mg/kg for aspartame for both adults and children. Throughout the world, aspartame can be found in over 6,000 products, including food and beverages, cough drops, and some toothpaste, thus indicating the ubiquitous nature of this chemical in many everyday items. Although most food and drink products with aspartame are advertised as ‘healthy’ or ‘diet’ alternatives to sugar-sweetened products, the ability of these products to reduce the risk of diabetes or obesity has neve...

Last week,  Rolling Stone reported  that dozens of fans said they had been "bullied, intimidated, and embarrassed by Ballinger and members of her team". In her video , she said people had been saying things that "aren't quite true".
