‘I’ve tried hundreds of treatments and this viral head spa is the most relaxing one ever’

As a beauty editor, I've tried my fair share of spa treatments over the years – some amazing, others forgettable – but few have left me as eager to try them as the 'head spa' videos that have been flooding my social media feeds this year. Allegedly hailing from Japan or Korea, this soothing treatment involves similar steps you'd typically expect during a full body massage or facial, but focuses solely on your head, hair, neck and shoulders.This could include masks, steam and scalp massages, plus perhaps the most TikTok-famous part: a halo of waterfall-like jets of water that slowly moves back and forth over your head.The benefits include deeply cleansing the hair and scalp, plus delivering an incredibly relaxing treatment.

“Peppa Pig.”The “Black Doves” star, 39, appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Monday and blamed the British children’s show for her decision to not have more children.Knightley explained that her daughters Edie, 9, and Delilah, 5, whom she has with husband James Righton, are “very cool right now” watching Japanese movies by Studio Ghibli — which is a welcome change for the actress.“You’re like, ‘Oh this is just lovely after watching seven years of ‘Peppa Pig,'” she said.The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star then went on a rant about the animated series, which follows a female piglet that has human characteristics.“You know that thing where you’re like, ‘Oh, you know they’re so nice.

‘The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim’ Review: A Tiresome, Deep-Cut Anime Prequel for Die-Hard ‘Hobbit’ Fans

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Long before Peter Jackson took a swing at “The Lord of the Rings,” audiences got a glimpse into the fantasy realm of J.R.R. Tolkien via a trio of late-’70s animated projects: two animated TV specials produced by Rankin/Bass (of which “The Hobbit” remains fairly well-liked) and a dark and ominous big-screen feature from Ralph Bakshi (director of sci-fi psych-out “Wizards”).

‘The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim’ Review: Peter Jackson And Company Attempt Return 183 Years Earlier To Tolkein Universe Through Japanese Anime

Amazon Prime since 2022 has been doing its own attempt to capture the magic of J.R.R. Tolkein’s wildly popular “Lord Of The Rings” universe with The Rings Of Power, setting it apart from Peter Jackson‘s LOTR and Hobbit trilogies, but still suggesting it is a distant cousin of those films. Now however Jackson himself is behind another incarnation, along with key LOTR contributors Fran Walsh and Phillipa Boyens who all won a boatload of Oscars and film immortality in the early part of this century with the Lord Of The Rings trilogy of films, each nominated for Best Picture, and finally sweeping it all in 2003 with 11 Academy Awards for LOTR: The Return Of The King. This was followed by a Hobbit trilogy. and that appeared to be it for the Middle Earth adventures of Jackson and company, but now they have found a way back in for producing partner New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Animation by turning Japanese as it were, at least in turning to the world of Japanese Anime and one of its singular current talents, director Kenji Kamiyama (Blade Runner: Black Lotus; Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex TV Series).
