Most romantic comedies tend to focus on one or two couples. However, Love Actually ups the ante with eight different couples throughout the film, and you might need a scorecard to keep up with them all. Director Richard Curtis assembled an all-star cast for his ultimate rom-com. And it’s also a Christmas movie! Love Actually plays well year-round, but it’s become a holiday favorite over the last two decades. This year also marks the 20th anniversary for Love Actually, which makes it the perfect time to revisit this classic flick — preferably with someone you love. But for the single…

Dear parents, There is a reason for me to write this column in an epistolary form. I want this to be a dialogue that we indulge in equally: thinking and talking about the small-big things that makes parenting (for you) and childhood (for children) a mixed experience of joy, fulfilment, dilemma, anxiety and many other indescribable emotions.

It is so in our parleys with our children too. Most parents I…

Well, now we’ve seen it all. You may have heard of dual GPU setups in the past, but combining AMD and Nvidia in the same system? Even if you’re using two of the best graphics cards, that’s always going to be tricky. However, it’s now been done and benchmarked, and the results are shockingly good — with a few major caveats.

The publication combined an Nvidia RTX 4090 with an RX 6600 to try to…

Fans of The Gilded Age should be happy to hear that they’ve helped it keep its title as the most popular show on Max this week. The series has remained in the top slot since the second season premiere a few weeks ago. The bottom half of this week’s list is almost identical to last week’s lineup, with the exception of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. There was no new episode of that show, and that’s why it failed to rank this week. Lost Women of Highway 20 and 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way also dropped out this…

The Meydan racing season picks up a notch when the iconic racecourse hosts a cracking eight-race card on Friday where the highlight is the Listed Dubai Creek Mile, a race that is an early pointer to the coveted $1million Godolphin Mile (G1 Dirt) on Dubai World Cup day. Some of the UAE’s best milers are among the 13-strong field, but the question every trainer will be asking himself is whether a big race candidate can emerge from the pack and lay down the gauntlet for the rest of the season’s top 1,600 metre contests. In-form Jebel Ali handler Michael Costa…

Netflix is winding down 2023 with relatively few TV shows scheduled to leave at the end of December. The bad news is that the streamer is losing a lot of great films that bolstered the streamer’s lineup. The first four Mission: Impossible movies, The Wolf of Wall Street, Gladiator, Lost in Translation, Jaws, Scarface, Field of Dreams, and Love Actually, among many others. Netflix has an impressive library of titles, but this many departures will leave some sizable holes in the lineup. Hopefully, that gap will be filled by something new on Netflix. In the meantime, Netflix subscribers have four…
