12 of the best films to watch this October

Released on 24 October in the US and Canada, and internationally from 30 OctoberDisneySpringsteen: Deliver Me from NowhereAre we moving on from the era when pop music biopics such as Ray, Walk the Line and Elvis would squeeze decades of a star's life into two hours?

Failing Public Health Again? Analytical Review of Depression and Suicidality From Finasteride

Failing Public Health Again? Analytical Review of Depression and Suicidality From Finasteride

This paper is dedicated to the memory of a healthy person who started taking finasteride several years ago, “just” to improve his hair.

That trope of 'the dog who knows better' appears in so many horror films, and I thought, 'Someone should really tell that story from the dog's perspective.'"Leonberg didn't have to search far to cast the lead, as Indy is his own dog, who he thought could be perfect due to his "intense, unblinking stare".
