F1 2022: Rolex Gran Premio Del Made in Italy e Dell'emilia - Romagna

The F1 22 season continues in the notorious Imola racetrack for the Imola Grand Prix and with Max Verstappen still following his strides, there's more work for him to do as he's dealing with surprise resurgences from Ferrari and McLaren. Mercedes? Not so much of a threat anymore.

From the opening lap disaster for both Carlos Sainz and Daniel Ricciardo to Charles Leclerc's downfall, overcast conditions weren't very friendly for the drivers from the time the road felt wet until it became dry enough for the remaining drivers to go for broke.

In the end, it's a 1-2 finish for Red Bull with Verstappen the winner and Sergio Perez the runner-up. Lando Norris nailed another podium finish in 3rd place.

After Imola, Charles Leclerc, despite his Imola disaster, still leads with 86 points, 27 points ahead of Verstappen.

The next race is on the streets of Miami, Florida, for the first-ever Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix this May 8th.

The Bad Guys

DreamWorks Animation has done it again with their newest animated comedy movie that delivers a stellar all-star cast in a movie about...the bad guys.

The Bad Guys

Featuring the voices of Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, Awkwafina, Zazie Beetz, Lilly Singh, and Alex Borstein, The Bad Guys is loosely based on a Scholastic book series by Aaron Blabey. It's about a group of...you guessed it, bad guys who are good at being...BAD.

Let's admit it, we all love crooks of all kinds because this is the new normal and good is no fun at all, and this movie reflects our obsessions with all things bad and notorious. With such hilarious moments, this movie makes ODDTAXI look like Zootopia or perhaps the exact opposite of what just said but whatever, this is an animated movie about notorious animal characters doing notorious stuff by all means necessary, and good luck trying to dress like them on costume parties or comic book conventions.

Like a mix of Zootopia, ODDTAXI, and Ocean's Eleven, The Bad Guys is one of the must-watch movies of the spring movie season and despite being family-friendly, no one can escape the sharp and witty charms of these bad guys because...it's good to be bad.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Nicolas Cage just met his match in this newest action-comedy flick set to blow some minds off just for fun.

The Unbearable Weight
of Massive Talent

With Pedro Pascal and Tiffany Haddish joining alongside Cage among many others, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (hereafter, it's Massive Talent), sees Nicolas Cage as you've never seen before as the actor meets his so-called number one fan until he ended up at the hands of the CIA, using every trick he used during his acting career to save himself and his loved ones.

This movie, which is certified fresh from Rotten Tomatoes, feels like an all-out tribute to Cage himself because of him pulling everything from his resume into this hilarious rollercoaster ride, although this is just a movie aimed at saving his face by all means necessary.

While this is more of a showboat to demonstrate all of the things Nick Cage has done in his overall acting career as an action star, this hilarious take on one of the most iconic Hollywood greats is just good enough to satisfy your weekend movie schedule.

Think you know Nicolas Cage? Think again.

Ginebra San Miguel wins PBA's 46th Governors' Cup

The 46th season of the PBA Governors' Cup faced lengthy delays due to COVID cases when this season began, but this season raged all the way until the final two teams have been assembled; the Ginebra San Miguel and the Meralco Bolts.

The two rival teams clash for the title in a best-of-seven match and Game 6 in the MOA Arena became the ultimate judgment between the two. It's a judgment whether GSM wins the championship or its Game 7 when Meralco wins. The former happened.

Originally, Game 6 would have been held in the Smart Araneta Coliseum last Wednesday but because of the fire, the showdown has been moved to the MOA Arena on Friday night.

Over 20,000 people have been gathered in the MOA Arena to witness the thrilling Game 6 of the PBA Governors' Cup finals and for GSM, their last four quarters of the season became an action thriller.

LA Tenorio is named best player of the game with 30 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. Import player Justin Brownlee is named Assist Man of the Day, and Scottie Thompson is named MVP.

My GT7 Log: Know Your Legends - The Plymouth Superbird

Let's get to know about the legendary cars that are hard to get in Gran Turismo 7's Legend Cars not only because of their extreme rarity that appears once in a blue moon but also their outrageous price tag that takes almost forever to save one. Today, let's get to know about the Plymouth Superbird, an iconic stock car built for the road and track.


Despite calling it the twin car of the Dodge Charger Daytona, the Superbird is basically a Road Runner underneath because Plymouth never made a sibling car to the Dodge Charger. Both the Superbird and the Charger Daytona sported an extended nose and a massive rear wing but the shape of the roof is what separates these two models apart. Under the hood, the Plymouth Superbird can be fitted with either a 440 Super Commando, a 426 HEMI, or a 440 six-barrel engine. It is limited to 1000 units in order to comply with homologation regulations for stock car racing.



The Plymouth Superbird will have a one-lap, time attack around the Goodwood Motor Circuit. Let's find out how fast this is. Roll the tape.


It did it in 1:40.043, which is impressive for a stock car built for oval racing.

What other hard-to-get legendary cars should I drive next? Stay tuned for more.
