Many of you rely on your contact lenses in order to help you see, but your lenses could end up taking away your vision. What an ugly irony. The problem starts with a simple single cell microorganism — acanthamoeba. Acanthamoeba is one of the most common types of protozoan that live in soil and fresh water. They can be found in city tap water, so if you rinse your lens case in water from the Read more
You know, the reviews for Disney's Beverly Hills Chihuahua were not as bad as I thought they might be, so that coupled with the fact that it's a family film meant that the movie about little talking dogs took the No. 1 spot at the box office over the weekend. The top dogs brought in a seriously impressive $29 million. That's about the same amount that Eagle Eye earned last weekend. This weekend, Read more
I saw Blindness by myself, with nothing to occupy me on the way home but a copy of Cormac McCarthy's The Road. Bad idea. This movie requires a funny friend or mindless magazine afterward to decompress. I don't shy away from depressing films, but Blindness is one of the bleakest things I've ever seen on screen. At times bleaker even than Babel or Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. But cheery Read more
Don't be fooled by the chipper, easy-breezy morning routine at the beginning of this teaser trailer for Blindness — it gets scary. Really scary.

The cast is fantastic: Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Gael Read more

Stereogum recounts the bizarre saga of the dude who thinks Arcade Fire stole his basketball when the band played at UC Berkeley. Arcade Fire denies the charges. According to PopCandy, BJ Novack (Ryan on "The Office") was a Read more
I always love an excuse to write about Daniel Craig — it means looking for photos of him, after all — but this news is particularly cool. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the James Bond actor is in talks to star in Blindness, a movie based on the Jose Saramago novel of the same name. Julianne Moore is also being considered, which is interesting, since the premise reminds me a bit of Read more
Having perfect Valentine's Day hair doesn't need to mean spending hours on curling, straightening, or updo making. In fact, the best style for the Day of Love is probably just the one you're most comfortable wearing. Instead of subjecting your hair to an evening of discomfort, why not try a heart-shaped hair clip? You can put them anywhere, they aren't just for Valentine's, and whether you've got Read more

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy! Though we all groan about having to pay taxes, the government is nice enough not to tax us on the full amount of our earnings. There are two big buckets of deductions the government gives us: the first is called above the line, and the second is called below the line, which we’ll cover here. (The “line” these deductions Read more
