Feel Good Friday – (Belvedere) RED

By Cator Sparks Published December 21, 2019

Shake it! Stir it! Swill it! Today is National Vodka Day. So what better day to celebrate Belvedere Vodka’s third year partnering with (RED) with a special edition bottle.

Fifty percent of profits from the global sale of the (BELVEDERE)RED bottle will contribute to the Global Fund, one of the world’s leading financiers of programs to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.

This year’s bottle, launched in September, comes in a semi transparent metallic red bottle. Won’t loose this one in the bar! Besides being one of the best premium vodkas out there, this partnership has provided funding for more than 4.5 million days of life-saving HIV/AIDS medicine since 2011. Enough to support 8,300 HIV positive women with access to treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding, thereby helping prevent transmission of the virus from mother to baby.

Charles Gibb, President of Belvedere Vodka, told us, “Our passion for philanthropy led to the creation of (BELVEDERE) RED in 2011, and our commitment to helping (RED) and the global health community achieve the first AIDS-free generation by 2015 has not waivered since. The (BELVEDERE)RED bottle is symbolic of our dedication to (RED) and a sign to our audience that we, collectively as a global community, can put an end to mother-to-child transmission of this deadly disease – but only with their support.”

The festive color is perfect for the upcoming holiday season and comes in three sizes: 750 mi, 1 liter and 1.75 liter formats with the 750 ml size retailing for $29.99. (Belvedere) RED will be available thru December 2013.

Here’s all the ways you can watch March Madness

You'll need subscriptions to two different streaming services if you want to catch every game.

Another year, another March without any federal holidays. Thankfully, that void is filled by the NCAA tournament otherwise known as March Madness. Filling our brackets is an annual tradition for many, even if they don't follow college basketball closely, and the tournament's ultimately outcome is often incredibly surprising.

If you're looking for ways to watch the tournament yourself, though, we've got you covered. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch March Madness:
Paramount+
CBS and Turner Sports own the broadcast rights to all the men's games. Naturally, that means you can watch all of the men's games that air on CBS on Paramount+ as well. That will include plenty of games in the rounds of 64 and 32, as well as the Sweet 16 and the Elite Eight. CBS is also the home for the Final Four and the championship game, which means that you'll only be able to stream those games on Paramount+.

It turns out that there might not be any more ‘Last of Us’ games after all

Creator Neil Druckmann said that he wouldn't count on a third game.

Kaitlyn Dever in the Last of Us season 2

Since the first game premiered in 2014, The Last of Us has been one of the premiere gaming franchises. What's more, the franchise has translated well to the small screen, with an HBO adaptation that earned praise from both critics and fans.

As we get ready for a second season of the HBO series, which will adapt the more controversial The Last of Us: Part II, one thing fans of the franchise still wonder about is whether there will be any more games in this universe.

The 8 best Adrien Brody movies to watch, from Oscar winners to hidden gems

Oscar-worthy movies and plenty of Wes Anderson feature in his catalogue

Adrien Brody in The Brutalist

Adrien Brody's career is one of the more interesting roller coasters of the 21st century. After winning the Academy Award for Best Actor at a record-breaking youthful age of 29, the Queens native was poised to dominate the decades of the 2000s and 2010s with his stylish charisma and measured approach to acting. Instead, Brody meandered through his 30s and 40s with a handful of solid to great performances without much fanfare or recognition.

If you have watched any Wes Anderson movies in the last 20 years, you would have likely seen Brody appear in some capacity. And while Anderson's films fit Brody's persona on screen, they didn't allow him to capitalize on his superstar lead potential the way people expected. His most recent effort, The Brutalist, earned him a second Academy Award for Best Actor. Only a small handful of legends have achieved this feat, such as Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, and Tom Hanks. If you're looking to catch up on some of his other great works, we have you covered. These are the best Adrien Brody movies to watch right away.
