The Good I really love this show even though I am a guy. The Bad No Special Features. That is just bad and upsetting to me. The Facts of Life: The Complete Third Season is 24 episodes worth of Blair, Jo, Natalie, Tootie and Mrs. Garrett as she helps them grow up, and they teach her a little bit about what it’s like being a young adult. While I think this new three disc set is a bit lacking in the extras department (it doesn’t have any actually), it is still filled with human stories that are very relatable today....

While something else that happened at the Academy Awards largely dominated the news coverage of the event, there were some other very big moments to come from the ceremony. The hit film CODA had a particularly good night with its Oscar win for Best Picture, one of film’s most prestigious awards. It’s notable for many reasons, which includes becoming the first film to win the award that features a predominantly Deaf cast....

It Ends With Us, by Colleen Hoover, is finally becoming a movie. There isn’t an official release date yet, but fans can’t help but wonder if there will be more Hoover movie adaptations.
