Zack Snyder is back for more with the Netflix original film Army of Thieves: Acting as a prequel to Army of the Dead, the cheeky heist movie follows Gwendoline, who puts together a crew to rob three major safes across Europe. In typical fashion, the crew consists of a number of misfits who clash heads, but manage to pull off some serious heisting in the action-packed feature. The colorful cinematography and the cast are what really makes this film a success, with the film currently trending in the top position in Egypt as well as the US.

Who can resist a taco? Bonita Taquero in New Cairo’s O1 Mall is a fusion Mexican food truck that brings international flavors to tacos and burritos. Their taco selection has fillings ranging from brisket, BBQ chicken strips, and tenderloin steak to smoked salmon and buttermilk fried sea bass. Their burritos are equally gratifying, with our favorite being the classic grilled chicken breast. They’ve also got Mexican essentials such as nachos, quesadillas, and chicken and shrimp fajitas. The real kicker: don’t leave without getting a helping of their warm churros or milky tres leches cake. Bonita has a Taco Tuesday offer every week where you can fill up on tacos to your heart’s content.

What happens in the pandemic, stays in the pandemic: If you’re looking for a fun novel that resonates with the times, look no further than Gary Shteyngart’s Our Country Friends. Delivered with Shteyngart’s signature tongue-in-cheek style, it tells the story of a group of friends who agree to ride out the pandemic together in an upstate New York country house, but don’t initially realize what being cooped up together for so long will really entail. What starts out as an exciting gathering turns into six months of lockdown, allowing for new romances and friendships to emerge, and old grudges to take on a dangerous new life. Shteyngart opted out of an all-white set of characters and the cultural and age diversity of the characters allows the author to portray a range of experiences during the pandemic.
