A new Guinness Book of Records has been published with the year 2017. Among the 4,000 new records that have further thickened this bible of records (from 1955 to the present, more than 136 million copies have been sold), there were also seven Slovenian achievements.

Collateral Beauty, directed by David Frankel, is a drama that will move us to tears. If Will Smith presented himself as an anti-hero in his last film The Derelict Squad, this time we will get to know his gentle side again, similar to the movie In Pursuit of Happiness (2006). The film, in which love, time and death are people, shows us why it is not worth giving up on life, no matter how difficult it is. Life is a path where love, time and death constantly intersect.
Driving down a winding hill in a car at 140 km/h is a dangerous thing to do. The American Kyle Wester did it in an unknown location in the USA with a Santa Cruz skateboard, setting the world speed record, which was held by Sweden's Erik Lundberg since June. The new record mark is now 143.89 km/h!
Kate Beckinsale returns as the fatal vampire Selena in the new installment of the Underworld film franchise, Underworld: Blood Wars. It is the fifth film in the series, coming five years after the last film Underworld: Awakening (2012). In total, the films grossed $458.2 million for Screen Gems on a budget of $177 million, so it stands to reason that the war between vampires and werewolves is far from over. This installment was initially intended to be a reboot of the franchise and without the indestructible Beckinsale, who perseveres as an action heroine much like Milla Jovovich as Alice in the Invisible Evil films.

If you're disappointed with the new generation of Apple Watch smartwatches, the Apple Watch Series 2, Jim Beam might be able to help ease your sadness. The Jim Beam Apple Watch wristwatch is admittedly not smart, but instead of a dial, it has a telescopic or collapsible whiskey glass so you can pour whiskey spikes anywhere and anytime.
