Have you ever gotten a gift that was so awful that you weren’t sure if it was meant as a joke? Paramount+ has something like that in December with its new original movie, Finestkind. It’s a crime drama with a top-notch cast including Ben Foster, Toby Wallace, Jenna Ortega, and Tommy Lee Jones. The film was also produced by Paramount+’s go-t0-guy, Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone), and directed by L.A. Confidential screenwriter Brian Helgeland. However, Finestkind also has some truly awful reviews that gave it a dismal 25% score on Rotten Tomatoes. So we don’t have a lot of faith in that…

Pope Francis on Saturday called on the UN climate summit to strive for a essential breakthrough agreement to stem global warming that includes the elimination of fossil fuels, saying climate had “run amok”.

Spanish football great Andres Iniesta joined in the 52nd UAE National Day celebrations by donning a traditional Emirati kandura which he proudly modelled on social media courtesy of posts by the Emirates Football Club.

Iniesta swapped his trademark No. 8 football jersey for the milk-white kandura, also known as a Dishdasha, the single-piece ankle-length garment which is the traditional clothing of Emirati men, and completed the look with a well-worn ghutra that…

Buying a car is almost always a huge pain. But these days, there are more and more ways to buy a car online, and for many people, that’s a good thing. When buying a Tesla, for example, the price is the price — there are no dealer markups, and you can finance the car straight from the Tesla website itself. But the majority of the time, you still have to go through your local dealer, paying sometimes tens of thousands more than the list price of the car — simply because of the fact that the car is in high…
