One where supernatural <\/strong><strong>forces are involved<\/strong>. Directed by Australian filmmaker Michael Shanks, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt31184028\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Together<\/a> is Hollywood\u2019s latest body horror film. It\u2019s a simple premise: a man and a woman love each other so much that they fuse and become one person. Produced by and starring real-life married couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie, the movie presents a viscerally uncomfortable nightmare that continues to haunt us long after we\u2019ve left the theatre. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Too close for comfort<\/strong>: Tim (Franco) and partner Millie (Brie) have been together for six years. Tim\u2019s love for Millie runs deep \u2014 so much so that Millie\u2019s own brother believes he has completely submitted to her, allowing her to control his life. But what takes over their lives comes after they decide to move to a village on the edge of a forest when Millie accepts a teaching position at a local school, and a sudden bout of thirst during a hike costs the couple dearly when they resort to the resources at hand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The film explores the horror of mutual dependency in toxic relationships<\/strong>. What unites Millie and Tim is a tumultuous love that bears no solid future. Tim is lazy, indecisive, and avoids responsibility. He relies on his partner excessively, and although she\u2019s aware of his flaws, she just can\u2019t bring herself to leave.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A healthy dose of Platonic myth:<\/strong> The philosopher once parroted a creation story that depicts humans as powerful, double-sided beings with two heads, four arms and legs, whose scorn of the gods earned them some good old-fashioned punishment from Zeus \u2014 he split them in half, creating two people from each original being. Since then, humans have been searching for their other half to become whole again. This philosophy is strongly present in the film, albeit presented through the lens of horror, as Millie and Tim find themselves becoming one \u2014 whether they like it or not.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Visceral with hints of dark comedy that were perhaps unintentional, Together offers a <\/strong><strong>new perspective on the body horror genre.<\/strong> The scenes in which the two protagonists merge were a horrifying masterclass of acting, and practical and CGI effects. The chemistry between Franco and Brie was center stage, but Brie\u2019s performance gave Franco a run for his money. Our only complaint is that some scenes came across as filler, lengthening a film that didn\u2019t need to be lengthened in the first place \u2014 though we\u2019re sure more well-versed cinephiles have theories on their value.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>One more thing \u2014 this film might be plagiarized<\/strong>. FestStudio filed a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/entertainment\/movies\/a65480895\/together-lawsuit-controversy-explained\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">lawsuit<\/a> accusing Franco, Brie, and Shanks of plagiarizing the script from 2023 film Better Half. The lawsuit states that Together bears striking similarities in terms of events, plotlines, characters, and even the final scene. But Shanks contends that the idea for Together came to him in 2019, inspired by his personal experience of breaking up with a past partner. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong> The film is graphic and contains many a disturbing scene, making it unsuitable for many moviegoers, especially those new to the body horror genre.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WHERE TO WATCH- <\/strong>You can catch Together at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/egy.voxcinemas.com\/en\/movies\/together\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">VOX Cinemas<\/a> at City Center Almaza and Mall of Egypt, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.citystars-heliopolis.com.eg\/en\/cinema\/stars-cinema\/movie\/together-r1lubdqyjll\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">City Stars Cinema<\/a>, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/district5.scenecinemas.com\/movie-details\/together.html\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Scene Cinema<\/a> at CFCM and District 5.

In under 300 pages, van der Wouden presents an intriguing, bold, and at times jarring tale of two women at odds, who find themselves living with one another in an old family home in the Dutch countryside in the years following World War II. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Peace, disturbed:<\/strong> The novel begins with Isabel, a woman on the cusp of her thirties residing in her off-the-beaten-path countryside residence with her young maid. She spends her days alone, tending to her garden and her house. Her mother passes before the events of the novel \u2014 which take place in the Summer of 1961 \u2014 and her brothers have long left the nest to pursue their own lives. Isabel has crafted quite the mundane routine for herself, and the reader is quickly given the impression that any discrepancy from it would cause Isabel to spiral.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And spiral she does.<\/strong> Upon tending to her garden one day, Isabel nicks her finger on a broken shard of what turns out to be a dinner plate buried deep in the garden \u2014 one belonging to her late mother. Yet, her mother\u2019s set is complete, she realizes. Disturbed, she boards a train to see her brother Hendrick, who naturally doesn\u2019t think much of it, simply advising his sister not to blame it on the maid. Her brother\u2019s words do not calm her, and she begins to ruminate over her house\u2019s history. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>An unwelcome guest:<\/strong> When Louis, a third sibling, joins Hendrick and Isabel, he\u2019s accompanied by his partner Eva, a woman whose simple existence shocks Isabel. Eva is everything Isabel isn\u2019t: confident, outspoken, and visually assertive, with bleached hair and tight, revealing fashion choices. More importantly, Isabel is suspicious of Eva, but cannot put her finger on why. The women exchange subtle hostilities \u2014 they\u2019re not off to a good start to say the least, compounded by Isabel begrudgingly taking in Eva for the summer as her brother leaves to attend to business abroad. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It turns out that Isabel was never in a position to refuse, seeing as the house was <\/strong><strong>technically Louis\u2019.<\/strong> Eva begins to take up space \u2014 too much, in Isabel\u2019s view \u2014 and Isabel finds herself in a living hell. To make matters worse, her mother\u2019s heirlooms start going missing. But not all is as it seems, and the house\u2019s dark history and connection to the war comes into play \u2014 we\u2019ll leave it at that to avoid spoilers. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>As the weeks pass, the animosity intensifies to such a degree that it leaves room for <\/strong><strong>something else to brew: obsession\u2026 and desire<\/strong> \u2014 though it\u2019s not your typical enemies-to-lovers story. Soon begins a clandestine affair that culminates in a shocking third act reveal that throws the reader in for a loop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The Safekeep is a beautifully written novel that holds myriad complexities within its <\/strong><strong>pages. <\/strong>The writing is descriptive yet tact, and the characters are fully-fleshed out, with the dialogue feeling reel and unfiltered. It is, however, an explicit novel at times, so be advised. That said, it is not one you\u2019ll want to miss out on, especially if historical fiction is a genre you can\u2019t get enough of. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WHERE TO GET IT<\/strong>- You can find The Safekeep at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bibliothek-eg.com\/products\/9780241999776?srsltid=AfmBOor1dnvp9pnq2c8NCkYVQzkrgB-K1BShuJWhbwsPLjHRTA2zelff\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bibliothek<\/a>, or keep an eye out on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/diwanegypt.com\/product\/the-safekeep\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Diwan<\/a> for a restock of the paperback edition.

Earlier this year, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/blaze.egypt\/?hl=en\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Blaze<\/a> decided to light a bigger fire, introducing a brand new concept in New Cairo \u2014 one that comes with an expanded international menu and an all-new shiny design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Olive greens and brick reds<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Located front and center at New Cairo\u2019s KOV Mall, Blaze is hard to miss. The outdoor seating area is expansive, and features several patio sofas perfect for large gatherings, as well as comfortable, cozy set-ups for small ones. Should you choose to stay outdoors, you\u2019ll be in for plenty of shade and breeze with an unobstructed view of the quiet city. But it\u2019s the indoors that steal the spotlight. Swathed in olive greens and a soothing shade of burgundy, the design is one meant to be savored alongside your meal. The space is decorated with minimalist wall features, including theatre masks and cutlery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The new aesthetic carries over to the menu. <\/strong>The new branch proudly boasts an upgraded menu \u2014 which, aside from having a shiny new design, also includes new appetite-whetting selections. For our latest visit, we decided to kick off our day with a calm breakfast. The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.qr-code-generator.com\/account23882103\/51628754_6.pdf?Expires=1757499168&Signature=vtw4LAOzREvjOiOCGYfLofScQ-sOuDuzElr1MmYSCaHl4MMn1VpUXM3XAT3idct0jJlAdRmTHc732Tni2hAs1YHHeTLK5F3qgNYmXlMUGIoMGO4hjKNr1R0Ab-FEB0Y8ZlJdjs9pSUJoE9B1QihWPvr8kZUPs5NQlRrJWF6gebiTUWPwjg2ximtVJMyUb84gk9L8I9OIwBMnqWXuw73wGMSX9-QL6oU6bpOiYONtrNqia6xEUcTYfUaDjzEssLSt9909BgRihj7T0BRvw48FShpFqAk6iMLP800vrVmSfbhSpiJPUQTWF6rAvoshCZ5GmWl8r6AwhTbbBCPU0TEq0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KKMPOJU8AYATR\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">menu<\/a> has a little bit of everything, including English trays, oriental trays, benedicts, a curated selection of light breakfast dishes, and the restaurant\u2019s new signature: the avocado and cherry tostada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A few moments of deliberation later<\/strong>, we put in an order for the tostada, a traditional omelet, the mini pancake medley, and a cup of coffee \u2014 a flat white, to be precise. Unfortunately, we were awakened from our sweet dreams after finding out the pancakes were unavailable at the time. Still, we braved the devastation with hope in our hearts. Service was quick, and the coffee and both dishes soon materialized. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The tostada was definitely worthy of signature status<\/strong>, and the avocado, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese combo proved a mighty union. The dish also came with a side of sweet potato fries drizzled in honey, which quickly made up for the pancakes that remained MIA. The omelet, on the other hand, wasn\u2019t anything special, but remains a solid option for those who prefer avoiding adventure when it comes to breakfast. The coffee was surprisingly strong and flavorful, giving us a much needed boost. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The meal proved delicious and the service swift, but we couldn\u2019t help but feel a <\/strong><strong>certain je-ne-sais-quoi was missing. <\/strong>That said, the new Blaze succeeds at offering a comfortable and visually-engaging experience, and for that alone, we\u2019d recommend paying it a visit. If early mornings aren\u2019t your cup of tea, you\u2019ll be glad to hear that the restaurant offers a very promising (and affordable) all-day menu, with everything from smoked salmon bowls and truffle risottos to classic burgers and steaks \u2014 we\u2019ll definitely be passing by for dinner on our next visit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WHERE TO FIND IT<\/strong>- You can find Blaze\u2019s new concept at New Cairo\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/7JNisPxzzPYmqhfeA\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">KOV Mall<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>?

Less than two weeks in, Silksong is already fourth on Steam\u2019s top-selling and most-played charts, hitting some 580k concurrent players at its peak. Where was this review last week when Silksong dropped, you ask? Our resident gamers couldn\u2019t put down the controllers, keyboards, and joycons long enough to write it up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Its immense popularity is highly unusual for an indie game. <\/strong>Australia\u2019s Team Cherry is made up of just three main developers, who started working on Silksong in 2018. They may have really (really) taken their time, but the result is a well-rounded masterpiece that puts many AAA games with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.konvoy.vc\/blogs\/what-are-aaa-games#:~:text=Teams%3A%20A%20typical%20team%20working,a%20game%20for%20several%20years.\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">100-500<\/a> person developer teams to shame.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Players follow the titular Knight\u2019s half-sister Hornet<\/strong>, kidnapped into the distant Pharloom Kingdom by soldiers of a mysterious monarch. True to her reputation as the resident badass, she wipes out the kidnappers, wielding her trusty needle and red cape to fight her way up to the Citadel and face her enemy head-on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The story is a thinly veiled critique of blind faith<\/strong>. Pilgrims entangled in the Citadel\u2019s web of silk make the harsh ascent up, with many losing their lives and\/or minds to the holy journey. They mock Hornet\u2019s skepticism and rage against her quips, refusing to believe that they\u2019re in the grip of a cruel god who lures them in to feed on their husks. Like the first installment, the game rarely reveals its lore in an explicit way, but hides it in loose notes, subtle conversations with friends and foes alike, and evidence of past ages found in ruins and abandoned cellars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The gameplay is a huge step up from the original<\/strong>. Hornet\u2019s movement is silk-smooth (pun intended), featuring sprinting, gliding, back-flips and wall jumps, to name a few. Combat elements are tightly woven together, with the new system shifting focus from upgrading your firepower to experimenting with an endless combination of needle slashes, weaver skills, and mechanical tools, adding a much-needed strategic element to Hollow Knight\u2019s combat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Visual and audio design is where Silksong really shines<\/strong>. The handcrafted 2D world is a manifestation of genuine artistic vision, taking you from Shellwood\u2019s lush green forests where leaves are conducted by the wind, to fiery underground mines, the royal courts of the Citadel, Mount Fay\u2019s freezing summit, and Bilewater\u2019s muck-filled water (spoiler: water-themed levels are never beating the allegations). Meanwhile, the immersive sound effects are underpinned by another orchestral soundtrack from Christopher Larkin that rivals or even tops the award-winning soundtrack of the original.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The only catch? It\u2019s a little bit\u2026 evil<\/strong>. The game can be very challenging from the early stages, not to mention Act 2 (which almost gave us a mental breakdown). Walls and floors are out to get you, and even smaller enemies can drop you dead in seconds if you\u2019re not paying attention. Exploring certain areas was a living nightmare, with platforming sections that make the aptly-named Path of Pain from the first installment feel like a walk in the park.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Although the early game was slightly balanced in recent patches (after we suffered <\/strong><strong>the full brunt of it)<\/strong>, we would still recommend playing and mastering Hollow Knight to better grasp the game\u2019s design logic in the more-friendly Hallownest before you hop into the far more treacherous Pharloom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>?

Dubner is the co-author of the viral book <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/1202.Freakonomics\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything<\/a>, and the podcast \u2014 with over 900 episodes and a large following \u2014 follows in its namesake\u2019s footsteps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The show tackles a hodgepodge of issues<\/strong>, through which its creators explore what they call the \u201chidden side\u201d of things. The show spans economics, psychology, sociology, public policy, and a variety of cultural phenomena and social issues such as poverty and corruption. The podcast also addresses certain unconventional questions, such as why we still use candles, and what makes a manager \u201cbad.\u201d <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>No rigid structure in sight.<\/strong> The episodes are fluid, comprising interviews and discussions with industry experts alongside a research-driven narrative approach. Freakonomics also publishes special series, multi-part investigations, and follows up with regular updates on hot topics \u2014 all delivered with a curious, contemplative tone. It\u2019s an accessible podcast, with Dubner presenting complex topics in a not-so-complex manner and a dash of humor. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Farms<\/strong><strong> race?

The episode highlights a forgotten aspect of the Cold War, known as the Farms Race, which happened alongside the more notorious Space and Arms races. The episode dissects how a boom in US supermarket culture and agricultural advancements were weaponized throughout the length of the war. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>With expert historians on board<\/strong>, listeners find out about the US government\u2019s feats in the field, from the creation of hybrid corn to the construction of modern supply chain networks, which were used to flex the government\u2019s capitalist muscles.
