Scientists reversed biological age in older adults in just 4 weeks

Older adults may be able to shift important markers of aging in a surprisingly short amount of time simply by changing what they eat.

New research from the University of Sydney found that Australians aged 65 to 75 who reduced either dietary fat or animal-based protein showed signs of a lower biological age after just four weeks. Biological age is an estimate of how old the body appears based on its health and physiological condition, rather than the number of years a person has been alive.

‘Closing Night’ Review: Sarah Paulson and Naomi Watts Lead a Deluxe Cast in a Shrill Family Melodrama in Search of a Binding Tone

Is actor-turned-director Cody Fern’s debut, Closing Night, intended as a refraction of John Cassavetes’ Opening Night, the 1977 Gena Rowlands vehicle about an actress grappling with a debilitating personal crisis? Seems likely, though that would be just one of several instances of the filmmaker’s aim exceeding his reach. For at least half the movie’s running time, the desired style appears to be the heightened melodrama of Pedro Almodóvar’s tales of turbulent motherhood scarred by traumatic family secrets. But Fern lacks the firm grasp of tone to pull that off, or to smoothly navigate the eventual transition into anguish and sorrow.

7 Best Classic Noir Movies to Watch if You Loved 'Spider-Noir'

Spider-Noir may have been unceremoniously canceled after a compelling first season, but Nicolas Cage's turn as the spider hero will forever remain a classic and authentic entry in the noir genre. Truly, the Prime Video series is nothing like the live-action Spider-Man films that have preceded it. The show is much more similar to the films it’s inspired by (minus the web-slinging, of course). Being a hard-boiled detective story with morally ambiguous characters, all accented by moody lighting and a running inner monologue, Spider-Noir draws heavily from the genre known as “film noir.” Coming into prominence in the 1940s and 1950s, film noir covers a range of genres, but the movies that fit the bill are mostly crime dramas, often with a detective or private eye at the center. They're also fairly cynical in nature, as they depict a corrupt world informed by the desperation of the Great Depression and the horrors of World War II.
