The original Sicario is a powerhouse. The critically acclaimed 2015 drug-cartel thriller features a breakout direction from Denis Villeneuve, awe-inspiring cinematography from the veteran Roger Deakins (Blade Runner 2049), as well as a standout performance from Emily Blunt. But stealing the show was the film’s star, Benicio del Toro, who seared himself into our minds with his haunting portrayal of an FBI task force leader with a shadowy past. Del Toro, as well as co-star Josh Brolin, are back on for Sicario 2: Soldado, which was announced in 2016....

Traditional cigarettes (as opposed to vapes, which are a slightly healthier alternative) contain toxic, cancer-causing chemicals. Plus, according to one study, smokers earn less money than their nonsmoking counterparts. The effects of weed, on the other hand, aren’t so black and white. Marijuana has been shown to have a variety of effects on the body that fall on both sides of the fence....

I don’t think it’s quite normal for any young kid to have a travel bucket list. (And if they do, traveling to Maine likely won’t be on it.) Maybe that wasn’t the preferred term at the time, but as a kid I do remember having obsessive travel dreams. Those were inherited and my mother’s tenure as a flight attendant, and only further reinforced my wanderlust. Every year she’d bring home live Maine lobster from one of her layovers....

The best thing about being a runner is that you can do it pretty much anywhere.

Next time you restock your skincare essentials, pay special attention to the hallmarks that epitomize men’s grooming. Notice the monochromatic or grayscale packaging, with hard lines and minimal graphics. Does the product’s overall vibe skew rugged, sporty, and outdoorsy? Take a sniff.
