As we prepare for our 4th of July plans, many of us will be menu planning. And no Independence Day table would be complete without a show-stopping patriotic dessert. Sheet cakes decorated as American flags and big berry trifles in tall glass dishes often adorn red or blue checkered tablecl…
Brandon native and cooking blogger, Lisa Bynum provided a cooking demonstration on June 18 at the Hernando Farmers Market for Senior Day sponsored by Shared Health Mississippi.
Since premiering in 2011, “Bob’s Burgers” has very quietly become an invaluable part of Fox’s Sunday night animation lineup. In fact, it has become the best part. By which I mean that current-era “Bob’s Burgers” is better than current-era “Family Guy” or “The Simpsons,” though 90’s “Simpsons…
Actor Bo Svenson received calls threatening his life for portraying famed Tennessee lawman Buford Pusser and ran someone off the road that he thought was following him during the filming of “Walking Tall.”
I watched the original “Top Gun” from 1986 to prepare for “Top Gun: Maverick.” The aerial stuntwork and action sequences were impressive, but like many 80’s movies, it fell into the trap of having a smarmy protagonist in Tom Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. I was particularly skeezed out b…
It might not be the epitome of blockbuster entertainment, but I do understand the appeal of “Downton Abbey.” The British television series, which ran from 2010-2015, is recognized as the most acclaimed “international” series in Emmy history. And of course, it developed a fandom based on its …
It’s the week after a big blockbuster in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” and you know that means: I’m going to review a movie that got absolutely stomped at the box office. There can be respectable runners-up in busy holiday seasons, but very rarely does something worthwhile o…
After “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” I was a little apprehensive about the Marvel Cinematic Universe exploring more of the Multiverse. Sure, seeing guest stars from two other universes was great and all, but I was (and still am) worried that the MCU will use the Multiverse as an excuse to do wha…
Holding their spot on brunch menus everywhere, quiche is a classic. Back in my Memphis days, I would always order the quiche from La Baguette. Now that I’m a Mississippian, the generous slices from Coffee Central in Hernando are my absolute favorite.
The animated comedy “The Bad Guys” has very quietly been the #1 movie at the domestic box office for the past two weekends. The film follows a group of supposedly unlikeable animals as they do bad, do bad while they pretend to want to do good, then grapple with the decision whether or not to…
Unlike the 8-movie “Harry Potter” series, the “Fantastic Beasts” sector of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World has never been able to quite get off the ground. Maybe it’s because audiences find it hard to get behind skittish protagonist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) as a hero. Maybe it’s becaus…
Everyone’s heard of them. There’s even a song about them. But have you ever tasted a Hot Cross Bun? Hot Cross Buns are a sweet yeast bun with a cross on top – traditionally served on Good Friday. They are flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg and will sometimes have currants or raisins, with…
Last week, I reviewed “Morbius,” a film whose constant delays in release turned it into a punchline. Next week, I’ll review the new “Fantastic Beasts,” part of a franchise whose behind-the-scenes scandals have turned it into a punchline. Sandwiched between the two is “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” …
Brianna Mahon is only five feet tall, but you’d never know it when she is behind the wheel of Whiplash tearing up the dirt as part of the Monster Jam series.

I have probably seen more trailers for “Morbius” than any other movie in my entire life. I definitely remember seeing a few before the 2020 lockdown, but it isn’t just a matter of how far back they go. No, I’ve seen them pretty consistently since then, from theaters reopening in August 2020 …

“The Lost City” is the kind of movie that looks like it was a lot more fun for the actors to film than it is for the audience to watch. Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum got to spend time in each other’s company, goofing around in a comedy in the jungle that was probably closer to a nice bea…
Fans of world renowned artist Vincent van Gogh will get to experience his magnificent artwork like never before in “Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience,” a new traveling exhibit opening this week at the Graceland Exhibition Center.
DeSoto County Grant Administrator Shelia Garrett, along with Community Resource Director Christie Barclay, petitioned approval from the Board of Supervisors to apply for an AARP Community Challenge Grant for Seniors over 50.
No matter the twists and turns that my life has taken on a seemingly daily basis, there is one thing that can center me, and give me perspective on the fact that the sun will always rise tomorrow…a good, robust meal.
Improved mental health, social engagement, physical activity, and just having a great time are all the benefits attendees at the Olive Branch Senior Citizens Center have at a very popular class.
Back in January, when COVID numbers were raging and another lockdown seemed imminent, Disney made the decision to make Pixar’s “Turning Red” a Disney+ exclusive. But soon after holiday tourism died down, so did the COVID numbers, and theaters are fully capable of showing this movie. But I gu…
Disney fans will get to see their favorite characters this week as Disney On Ice spectacular skates into the Landers Center for seven fun-filled performances from March 10-13.

The first thing I noticed about Robert Pattinson’s take on Batman in “The Batman” was his walk. I don’t think there’s ever been so much emphasis put on his walk. When I picture Batman moving, I think of him swooping on a rope, or maybe running in place like he and Robin did in the opening to…
Chili and cheese, greens and cornbread, pepperoni pizza, fried catfish and Philly steak and cheese are all delectable mouthwatering dishes in and of themselves. Three Horn Lake guys have found a way to improve these popular entrees by serving them up hot, round and “Balling with Flavor.” The…
Grandma Lula Hampton taught Allisha LaRain Dixon very well and thorough when it came to baking and making sweet Southern treats.
It is said that actors should never work with children or animals or they’ll be upstaged. This is most definitely true of star/co-director Channing Tatum in “Dog.” But the good news is that the dog is so great that there’s plenty of room for Tatum to shine under his canine co-star. There’s n…
This week, the Dining Duo decided to do something a little different. Instead of reviewing just one restaurant, we thought it might be fun to take the chicken sandwich challenge.
Solving puzzles is fun. Watching other people solve puzzles is less fun. Watching entire movies built around fictional characters solving puzzles (where the filmmakers have already decided whether or not the characters will ultimately solve the puzzles) is even less fun. It’s why I could nev…
Toothpicks, colored thread and paper together may not seem like much to everyday people. These common objects that are often stashed in most folks' junk drawers. One local artist has been inspired to share her faith and talent through those objects.

Members of the Hook and Needle Club met today at the Gale Center in Hernando to share in their craft and show off ongoing projects. The club meets on the second Monday each month, 10:00 a.m., at the Gale Center.
It is ironic that the #1 movie at the domestic box office on Valentine's weekend would be one where all but one relationship ends badly. If you are watching this movie with a partner, be sure to say something like, “Good thing we’re not as screwed up as these people, right?” If your partner …

With an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, “Jackass Forever” is more beloved than some of the movies that will soon be vying for Best Picture at the Oscars. What’s so special about this movie? It certainly isn’t that Johnny Knoxville and his crew are doing anything different with the “Jackass” template…
Some of the most emotive and talented young thespians from around the Mid-South region gathered at the Landers Center on Friday night for the 19th annual Allie Awards.
There were no new wide movie releases this past weekend, and I can’t say I blame the studios given that a snowstorm kept much of the East Coast indoors. Outside of the COVID era, I think this is the farthest down the weekly box office chart I’ve ever had to go to find a movie to review. “Lic…

It’s red, squishy and works non-stop to keep everyone alive. It’s not the latest political pundit but the human heart.
“Redeeming Love” is a cross between a Christian movie, a mushy romance, and a demented exploitation film. This might sound like an intriguing combination, but the genres do not go well together, nor do they result in an entertaining trainwreck. On top of my many, many complaints about this m…

I love the original Wes Craven “Scream” from 1996. Not only do I count it among my favorite horror movies of all-time, it’s also one of my favorite comedies. The Ghostface mask worn by the film’s killers has given me plenty of sleepless nights, and I consider some of its jump scares to be am…

For some reason, “The 355” really wanted to be the first movie of the year – any year. It was originally scheduled to open in January 2021, but I guess the studio decided that since theaters in major markets weren’t open yet, it should be pushed back to January 2022. Things might have worked…
