‘The Old Guard’ Movie On Netflix Is the Best Movie of the Year
Somehow I missed the TV promotion campaign for the action-packed Netflix film, The Old Guard. I don’t recall seeing any trailers on TV or online ads.

Prince-Bythewood I’d known from the 2000 film Love & Basketball, then later for …

Summer Allergy Season Survival Kit
Most summers I seem to get through May & June just fine. Until last week when my eyes were red (or as A.J. described them – pink) and itchy for three days.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Ever since A.J. started five day a week public school, I’ve noticed a change in my work habits. Maybe you’re in the same boat if you’re transitioning from half day …
