It’s been over 13 years since the highest-grossing movie of all time has had a serious challenge on its hands but with the release of Avatar: The Way of Water, the top-grossing movie of all time is in serious danger of being knocked off its decade long perch. That movie of course is Avatar. So it’s crazy to think that the only serious challenger to the highest-grossing movie ever is its sequel. What’s even crazier is that director James Cameron will have taken the helm of three out of the top five movies within the next few months. So with that in mind we’ve decided to take a look at what the top ten highest-grossing films of all time are and exactly how much they made. As of the time…

As a cop I recall the ‘Police Promotions Examination Manual’ (containing both the Sergeants’ & Inspectors’ curriculum), housed in a blue hardback cover resembling a brick, but marginally bigger. This publication was my apex of anxiety, although I guess I used this pain to focus on passing both examinations in a matter of months so that I could wave goodbye to the wretched object. Works of fiction frequently fared the same fate. Anything that meandered, plodded, or sought to describe every brick in the wall of the invented scene, was simply discarded. I have lost count of the novels that I started and subsequently shelved by chapter three. I wonder, am I alone in this trait? In 2014 The Goldfinch, by Donna Tartt, won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, although,…

While every edition of a Bugatti Chiron is special, and there have been a few of them, none quite strike a chord in the heart like the one-off Chiron Profilée– the last of the Chirons! Take a minute to let that sink in. Of course, it has a long chain of DNA, one that has steadily evolved the species to contend with threats from other hypercar makers all trying to eclipse its top speed. It also had to evolve simply because Bugatti owners get their fix from exclusivity so anything that made theirs different, would have no trouble finding a new home. After all, Instagram is quick to make cruel comparisons and one can’t take the risk of losing followers due to a previous generation Chiron. The latest lineage to…

In the ultra-competitive world of motor racing, very few individuals have the skills or talent to become a world champion. So when a young German F1 driver not only became the youngest champion in the history of the sport, but went on to lift the world champions trophy four times in a row, Sebastian Vettel cemented himself in F1 history forever. Yet it would not be his championships that endeared him to fans around the world, but more his action off the track. And as he raced in his very last F1 race ever, after announcing his retirement earlier this year, we decided to celebrate not just the driver but the man himself. Der Kinderfahrer Born on July 3, 1987, in Heppenheim, Germany to carpenter father and enthusiastic karter, Norbet…

My first contact with the vagina was by way of a remote viewing. A mate excitedly explained that he had found a stash of discarded “nudie books” in a ditch proximate to a local lorry park. Aged twelve, my curiosity coupled with pulsing pre-pubescent itches made the thought of seeing a naked woman too much of a magnetic pull to refuse, and the location was near to a stream where we could skim stones too – so overall it was a win-win situation! Opening the well-thumbed educational publication, my eyes were initially drawn to the gorgeous breasts pointing forward with conviction and purpose. But what made my shorts slightly more uncomfortable was my reaction to the downstairs region. The pull of the vagina was Newton-like, and as the gravitational power…

Ford isn’t just keeping the normally aspirated V8 alive, it’s making it a whole lot better and more powerful. This is exactly what fans of the Mustang have been asking for, and in the past would have needed to open their wallets at Shelby or Roush in order to scratch that itch. When the all-new Mustang goes on sale next year, it will feature engine technology that pushes the V8 to the limit. At the heart of these upgrades to the Coyote motor is a balanced crankshaft and forged pistons, plus forged rods. These will handle the higher cylinder pressures, especially up at the 7,500rpm redline. It’s also the first time the Mustang will be equipped with active exhaust valves, although we can’t think of many reasons to muzzle the…

It may seem like a cliche stereotype, but it doesn’t seem like too many men actually know their way around the oven. Interestingly enough, the art of baking is a lot cooler than you’d think. Imagine it. Preparing your own biscuits, cakes, or even bread and a variety of other pastries - on demand. If that isn’t self-sufficient then we don’t know what is. It’s for that reason, and a few others, that we decided to brush up on our baking game, so get ready to get on that apron as we improve your kitchen skills with some expertly put together (and delicious) baking recipes. There’s nothing wrong with a man that cooks, actually, in this day and age women seem to love it. But if you’re the kind of…

Dead Space Remake One of the scariest games ever made is finally getting its long-awaited remake as publisher EA finally returns to the 2008 horror classic Dead Space. It’s been quite a few years since we have seen any news regarding the Dead Space franchise and although it’s not a brand-new game in the series, seeing a fully-fledged remake of the original classic is welcome news. Once again you play as Isaac Clarke, an engineer who finds himself trapped on the USG Ishimura, a massive ship that has gone dark and filled with alien horrors. Although the story remains largely unchanged, this remake brings jaw-dropping visual fidelity, suspenseful atmospheric audio, and improvements to gameplay. From the frighteningly detailed rooms and workspaces of a slaughtered crew to the eerie atmospheric sounds…

Eating steak had never had this effect on me before, but this was my first time at 4 Gats – the quintessentially quirky Catalonian restaurant in Barcelona. Opened in 1897, it was renowned as the foremost meeting place of the artistic, eccentric, and supposed outsiders. I felt immediately at ease; no doubt I was sitting at Pablo Picasso’s favorite table. As I drank in the unique ambiance, a weird, yet profoundly wonderful, notion entered my head. A thought experiment – the hallmark of Albert Einstein – consumed my consciousness: what would I do if I saw my younger self at a nearby table? How bizarre would that be? And most irresistibly, would I approach, and if so, what would I say? What piece of advice was worthy of endowing to…

These days it’s difficult to find a regular Mercedes Benz. What I mean by that is, the company is so invested in pushing the envelope with electric architecture, or F1-powered road cars, that the normal everyday stuff hardly gets a look in. And don’t worry, we won’t bore you with a mundane S-Class in these pages. Instead how about the most high-tech S-Class AMG ever built, and suitably also the most powerful one. The S-Class has always been something of a testbed for Mercedes. Technology that rather quickly filters down to the rest of the range, has often made its debut in the grandfather S-Class. The same applies here thanks to a hybrid system Mercedes claim has been pinched from its Formula One team. And like in Formula One, it’s…
