Promising review: "Small, cute, functional clock. It's simple and user-friendly. Great for travel or to use at home. It emits no ticking sound, perfect for those who need silence at night, and has a standard beep alarm. I've used it as a bedside alarm clock and have found it to be accurate. I've used it simply to display in the living room as well, because it looks great anywhere! It's only downside is there doesn't seem to be a light/glowing hands to determine the time in the dark if needed, which can be helpful if you're using it as a bedside alarm. Otherwise, it's a great clock." — Kinsey Maneval

Promising review:"We have had a few other appliances from Nostalgia and we've been very pleased with the brand, so when my wife was looking for a coffee maker and we saw this was Nostalgia brand, the purchase was a no brainer. It looks great on our counter, it works pretty much like every other coffee pot, and the reusable filter is a great touch too.

The best shark movie of the year is now streaming — and it makes ‘Jaws' look like a day at the beach

The best shark movie of the year is now streaming — and it makes ‘Jaws' look like a day at the beach

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the apex shark thriller 'Jaws,' and if Steven Spielberg's masterful classic made you too scared to go swimming in the ocean, wait until you've seen 'Dangerous Animals.' As if an oversized great white with razor-sharp teeth wasn't scary enough, 'Dangerous Animals' increases the fear factor by also throwing a deranged serial killer into the mix, and it's just as unhinged as that sounds. This intense thriller is easily the best shark movie I've seen this year (though the competition isn't fierce with Hulu's 'Into the Deep' a real stinker). This Sean Byrne-directed survival thriller swam into theatres in early June, but it's finally ready to swim into new waters as it's now available to stream on premium video-on-demand via platforms like Amazon and Apple. And this taunt and tense thriller is definitely worth the rental fee. You'll come for the sharks, but trust me, you'll stay for Jai Courtney's deliciously sinister performance. Here's everything you need to know about 'Dangerous Animals.' Zephyr (Hassie Harrison) is an American drifter and surf-obsessive currently trawling through Australia's Gold Coast. After a romantic encounter with realtor Moses (John Heuston), Zephyr's commitment issues surface, and she flees the scene of their hookup. Going for a nighttime surf to clear her head, she encounters Tucker (Jai Courtney), an initially friendly stranger whose horrific true intentions quickly come to light. Abducted by this deranged psychopath, Zephyr awakens handcuffed to a bed in the hull of Tucker's boat. Tucker soon reveals his sadistic ritual, which sees him kidnap victims and then feed them to a pack of hungry sharks while filming the brutal act on a battered old camera. With time ticking away before she becomes fish food herself, Zephyr desperately tries to escape. 'Dangerous Animals' sets out its stall extremely early. The opening sequence introduces us to Tucker, and from this very first appearance, it's abundantly clear that he is somebody best avoided at all costs. It's a shame his first on-screen victims don't see that and pay the price. I've been pretty critical of Jai Courtney's work in awful movies like 2016's 'Suicide Squad' and 'Terminator Genisys' in the past, but the Australian actor absolutely nails his part here. Tucker is the best part of the movie. He's a terrifying presence, completely deranged and downright evil, but Courtney lights up the screen and creates a very memorable antagonist. It's a shame the same can't be said for the hero of the piece, Zephyr. It's not that Hassie Harrison does anything wrong, but the character's arc of transition from a lone-wolf to somebody willing to accept help from others, in this case, Heuston's Moses, is predictable. But really, with a movie like 'Dangerous Animals,' you're not here for the character arcs; it's all about the bloodshed, and this movie does not disappoint. Tucker's cameracord is used quite creatively to give the movie almost a 'snuff film' quality. This really adds to the sense of unease as we see the killer string up victims and plunge them into shark-infested waters. Being attacked by sharks while going for a pleasant swim is one thing to be afraid of, but being tied up, hoisted into the air, and then slowly lowered into a circling pit of sharks is beyond nightmare-inducing, and 'Dangerous Animals' isn't shy about showing the horrific results of Tucker's disturbing method of murder. Those easily frightened should steer clear. Viewers looking for a watertight narrative should probably also give this one a miss. 'Dangerous Animals' has a lot going for it, but it does see character turn off their common sense a little too often, and there are some story beats as flimsy as soggy cardboard. But, for me, these flaws never amounted to more than mere distractions to the real show stealer: Jai Courtney's Tucker, and watching (sometimes through my fingers) his horrific actions. On the surface, 'Dangerous Animals' might have the appearance of a trashy gorefest, but there's quite a bit more to this well-constructed horror-thriller than meets the eye. Director Sean Byrne does a great job contrasting the movie's picturesque location of the Gold Coast with the murderous actions of its antagonist, and the sound design is seriously punchy. For these reasons, and the others highlighted above, I'm not surprised to see that 'Dangerous Animals' was a bit of a critical darling. Shark movies are often dismissed as 'guilty pleasures' or just outright torn to shreds by critics, but not in this case. The movie holds a strong 86% score on Rotten Tomatoes, enough for a 'Certified Fresh' badge. 'Stuffed to the gills with memorable shocks and a thrillingly unhinged heel turn by Jai Courtney, Dangerous Animals will be irresistible chum for horror aficionados,' reads RT's 'Critics Consensus,' and I'm glad to see Courtney's work getting called out for praise. So, if you thought 'Jaws' was too tame, or just want a reason to be absolutely terrified of ever going swimming in the ocean all over again, 'Dangerous Animals' is a shark movie you don't want to skip. Perhaps its biggest strength is that it makes its protagonist unsafe both in the water and on dry land, so there's no escaping or moment to catch your breath. 'Dangerous Animals' isn't the only new movie arriving on streaming this week. Here's a guide to the best new releases across platforms. Plus, horror fans also won't want to miss this new chiller starring Sally Hawkins from the directors behind 2023's 'Talk to Me.'

Savannah's Death & Co. Bar Is the New Spot to See and Be Seen

When Municipal Grand swung its doors on July 11, the hotel's eponymous lobby bar quickly packed with patrons thirsty for a taste of its much-anticipated beverage program — and the people it attracts. The debut came within two years after Midnight Auteur, a new hospitality group from the founders of Death & Co. and Denver's the Ramble Hotel, announced plans to reimagine the six-story, 1960s landmark into a cocktail-driven, 44-room destination. Municipal Grand's name is a clever nod to the past: the First Federal Savings and Loan Association, which operated from 1961 to 1989, later served as a City of Savannah workplace at 45 Abercorn Street. The preserved architecture, from terrazzo tiles to the bank vault, sets the tone for the midcentury modern-inspired interiors by AAmp Studio — the same firm behind Death & Co.'s bars in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. — in collaboration with Savannah-based Lynch Associates Architects and Ward Architecture + Preservation. Drink martinis or 'cheekies' at the bar. Kelly Calvillo By design, Municipal Bar is the city's best new spot to see and be seen, both in person and on Instagram. Anchoring the lobby is a curved, 14-seat bar surrounded by serpentine banquettes and low lounge seating. Although at street level, the entire floor feels like one big sunken conversation pit, thanks to an upper mezzanine level encasing the perimeter. The Municipal Bar's menu of shareable drinks and small plates further leans into its sociability. A 'Family Style' list of playful offerings encourages guests to start with banana daiquiri 'cheekies' — miniature renditions made with Wray & Nephew rum and served in port glasses for $8 per person. Or, patrons can 'Keep It Going' with espresso martini cheekies at $6 a pop. For a fancier pour, the $36 'Proper Martini Service' for two — inspired by London's Dukes bar — is served ice-cold with a choose-your-own-adventure selection of accouterments, plus the option to add a side of salty shoestring fries for an additional $5. Of course, there's also a full selection of regular-sized beverages, such as the neon-hued white Negroni (Terroir gin, Americano, and Gentian amaro), garnished with a juicy pineapple wedge. With a subtropical climate in mind, rum or mezcal concoctions — complete with crushed ice, crystal-clear rocks or frosted glassware — are heavenly for cooling off in Savannah's thick humidity. Ranging from $16 to $19, these are contemporary riffs on classics, expected given the Death & Co. association. The hotel also offers creative fare for brunch and dinner. Kelly Calvillo For the uninitiated, Death & Co. first opened by David Kaplan and Ravi DeRossi in the mid-aughts as an unassuming bar in Manhattan's East Village. The brand would become one of the world's most sought-after cocktail bars, with four locations in New York, Denver, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. With insatiable demand (parties still often wait hours to enter the flagship) came the spin-off concepts: in 2018, Kaplan launched the full-scale hospitality firm Gin & Luck with several partners, including Alex Day, who serves as chief operating officer. This branch is responsible for recent projects like Close Company in Las Vegas, Nashville, and soon, Atlanta. The expansion is fueled in part by investor funding through SeedInvest, an online equity crowdfunding platform. As the Death & Co. institution appears closer to cementing its status as a household name, some may wonder if this dilutes the brand's popularity or prestige. On the contrary, Midnight Auteur operates as a distinct entity—more of a cousin than a sibling. Joining Kaplan and Day in this venture is Ryan Diggins, the founder and operator of the Ramble Hotel in Denver, Colorado, where the second Death & Co. opened in 2018. The midcentury modern-inspired interiors are by AAmp Studio. Kelly Calvillo With this ownership team based across the country, they brought in Franck Savoy to lead Municipal Grand as general manager. The son of chef Guy Savoy, of Michelin-starred restaurants in France and Las Vegas, launched his career in fine dining alongside his father before moving on to roles at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, California, Auberge Resorts, and most recently, Berg Hospitality Group in Houston, Texas. Joining Savoy is a mix of talent recruited to relocate to Savannah, like Death & Co. veteran Sam Penton as the director of outlets, as well as an all-star lineup of familiar faces from around the city. Helming the kitchen is executive chef Karim Elkady (formerly of Hotel Bardo, Southern Cross Hospitality, and Perry Lane) and executive sous chef Shannon Koprivich (also formerly of Southern Cross Hospitality), with Justin Stevenson (formerly of Husk Savannah) managing the front of house. Behind the bar, locals recognize James Nowicki and Sebastián Montero-Hernández, just to name a couple. Herein lies the true joy of a visit to Municipal Grand — the dynamite combination of the Hostess City's famed hospitality paired with Death & Co.'s gravitas. That, and food to back it all up. In the era of the aesthetic restaurant, when Instagrammability is weighted as highly as the quality of the food and service, Municipal Grand delivers on all three. Brunch at Municipal Grand. Kelly Calvillo Loaded with vibrant herbs and veggies, jewel-toned dishes are as colorful and refreshing as the cocktails and the artful vibe. Lunch standouts like the smoked salmon tartine, crispy chicken sandwich, and a mortadella roll, all served on Flora and Fauna bread. 'There's no club sandwich or Caesar salad. That's intentional,' says Savoy. This fall, the hotel will unveil its basement cocktail den, Hot Eye, decked out in red walls, blackened mirrors, and oxblood leather booths, just in time for the SCAD Savannah Film Festival. For a quieter experience, visit in the morning. The Carolina Gold rice porridge — a combination of currants, coconut, carrot, and pistachio that tastes like a cross between overnight oats and carrot cake — and a 'Fancy Omelet' (complete with a cheese pull) are well worth waking up early for. The Municipal Bar is open daily from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Access to the rooftop Sun Club is currently reserved for hotel guests.

Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker Is Nearly Free, 135K+ Reviewers and 4.6 Stars Can't Be Wrong

Party season is on for a few more weeks, at least for some of us, so it's still a good time to pick up some vibe-setting tech. Outside of good people to hang out with, one of the most important parts of any get-together is a great speaker. There are loads of good options out there, but if you're looking for a great deal, then we've got an excellent choice for you today. Right now, Amazon has 33% off the Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, which means that instead of the usual price of $45, it's just $30 right now. That's an incredible price, but we're not expecting it to last very long, as this is a limited-time deal. See at Amazon Portable speakers are amazing because you can take them outdoors with you, no matter where you end up, but you can also get a lot of use out of them at home as well. It's amazing to be able to move one of these into whatever room you're hanging out in to continue listening to podcasts, audiobooks, or your favorite albums. We especially love them in the bathroom, but that's because it's the only place the cats can't get into. Look, sometimes you just need a break. This particular speaker is especially good because it has an incredible 24-hour battery life, which means it's going to last long enough to keep the vast majority of parties going. If that's not enough for you though, you can always pair it with a portable power bank, or just use an outlet to charge it while it's in use. It has great sound quality, of course, offering stereo sound despite having such a small size, which means that you'll be able to enjoy whatever it's playing properly. It also has an IPX7 waterproof rating, so you don't have to worry too much if it falls into the pool, or the bath, or if it suddenly starts raining. You can make things even better if you get a couple of these, because you can pair them up together for an even more immersive listening experience. It's easy to justify getting two of them right now too, because at just $30, it's pretty darn affordable.
