Taking A Trip On A Real Aladdin’s Flying Carpet
These are a couple videos (including a POV version) of TikTok user aladdin_skylab taking to the skies aboard a real flying (falling) carpet, just like Aladdin in his self-titled movie! The carpet operates very similar to a wingsuit, and the effect is pretty spectacular. Am I going to launch myself off the roof in a carpet roll this afternoon? Of course not, I save that sort of fun for weekends. Give myself something to look forward to.
‘Women in Blue’ Review – Apple TV+’s Stylish Crime Drama Is Best When It’s Soapy
Theres something about having four very different women band together and form a friendship. The Golden Girls, Girls, Sex and the City, The Sex Lives of College Girls, Pretty Little Liars, The Girls on the Bus the list goes on. Its a tried-and-true formula that works just about every time, and Im happy to report that Apple TV+’s Women in Blue is no exception. If you’ve ever watched Law & Order: SVU and wished the entire team was full of Olivia Bensons, thats essentially what Women in Blue is selling. Taking place in 1970 (which gives the show’s aesthetic a Mad Men feel a huge compliment) and inspired by true events, Women in Blue closely follows four of the sixteen women who join Mexicos first female police force. Unfortunately, they soon discover that the creation of the program isnt to be inclusive but rather to distract the public from the threat and often rather incompetent handling of a serial killer called the Undresser, who is terrorizing the citys young women.

A Young Will Poulter Tried to Remake Rambo in This Coming-of-Age Comedy
There are certain actors who draw your attention every time they’re on the screen, and Will Poulter has to be at the top of the list. Whether it’s as the impossibly fit pastry chef Luca in The Bear, the superhumanly powerful yet childlike Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, or the adorkable Kenny in We’re The Millers (“You guys are getting paid?” is still a wonderful meme after all these years). But it was Poulter’s first film, Son of Rambow, that proved his bonafides. Set in the summer of 1982, Son of Rambow centers on the unlikely friendship between Will Proudfoot (Bill Milner) and Lee Carter (Poulter) as they attempt to do their own remake of First Blood. There’s a problem: Bill grew up in a strict religion that doesn’t allow him to watch movies or TV. This makes for a hilarious, heartwarming coming-of-age story as well as a great early performance for Poulter.
