Blu-ray Review: Man’s Best Friend (1993)
News reporter/animal rights advocate Lori Tanner (Ally Sheedy), who’s shoulder pads could be considered a character of their own, decides to take home (read: steal) a massive dog named Max from Ye Olde Animal Test Labbe run by your (not) so friendly neighborhood mad scientist Dr. Jarret (the legendary Lance Henriksen). Really, what could go wrong there? Sure that pooch could be riddled with Mega-A.I.D.S., or some other horrendous disease, but not to worry; the fact he’s comprised of the genetic material of all sorts of dangerous animals will ensure that most who cross his path will end up torn to pieces long before any disease sets in (owing to the fact he begins to rapidly turn into a four-legged lunatic if he’s away from the lab and his meds). Will Lori become a victim of her own good deed or will the powers that be “hound” ol’ Max until he’s neutralized? I could talk about how this film is

Momo Hoax, Momo Problems.
Back in August, fears grew among parents in South America as police were looking for an internet user going by the name, Momo. The nefarious user is said to text children who look for it online and gives them a challenge in which they either hurt themselves or others. It turned out the suicide of a 12-year-old girl in Argentina (mentioned in a previous article) was NOT a result of a “Suicide challenge” as originally suspected and was confirmed by Argentinean authorities. Recently there’s been a surge in Momo memes on social media (especially Facebook) that have some scratching their heads and others worried, thanks in part to the Police Service of Northern Ireland posting a warning on Facebook about Momo and it’s “challenge” which was brought to their attention thus causing some panic in the UK. Claims that Momo appears in children’s videos on Youtube, or contacted youths playing Fortnite have not been confirmed as internet sleuths (professional and
