The first trailer has been released for writer-director Riley Stearns’ psychological thriller Faults starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Leland Orser. Check it out below after the official synopsis… Claire (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is under the grip of a
mysterious cult called Faults. Desperate to be reunited with their
daughter, Claire’s parents set out to recruit Ansel Roth (Leland Orser),
one of the world’s foremost authorities on cults and mind control. But
Ansel’s specialty, deprogramming cult members and returning them to
their families, is not an exact science, and a series of financial
setbacks has left him in debt to his manager. Ansel warns Claire’s
parents that his deprogramming methods are risky and expensive, but they
agree to hire him to kidnap and deprogram their daughter. Claire
quickly reveals herself to be a formidable challenge. Her belief is
unshakeable, and her logic is undeniable. A battle of wits develops
between the two as they delve deeper and deeper into each other’s minds. Faults is set for release March 6th in the States and
features a cast that also includes Lance Reddick, Beth Grant, Chris
Ellis and John Gries.

Guinness-flavored foods are none too surprising, given how universally
beloved Ireland’s most famous beer is. What is surprising is how long
it’s taken for Guinness
to be paired with potato chips, a match seemingly made in snack heaven.
British chip manufacturer Burt’s British Hand Cooked Chips has remedied
this gross oversight, creating Guinness-flavored chips in two distinct
varieties: Original and Rich Beef Chili. To give them the unmistakably
bittersweet taste of Guinness, FoodBeast reports that the “thick cut,
hand cooked chips are seasoned with roasted barley and hops. The verdict
according to Foodbeast is flavor that definitely succeeds in emulating
the famous Irish stout, with an overall taste that’s “not bad at all.”
If you’re in the UK, pick up a bag and taste for yourself. (hypebeast)

Ferrari has introduced an update of the 458 Italia called 488 GTB.
Scheduled to go on sale in time for the 2016 model year, the 488 GTB
will be presented to the public for the first time at next month's
Geneva Motor Show. The big news for 2016 is that the 488 GTB trades the Italia's
naturally-aspirated 4.5-liter V8 engine for a twin-turbocharged
3.9-liter V8 that makes 661 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 560 lb-ft. of
torque at 3,000 rpm. An updated seven-speed dual-clutch transmission
that features a built-in torque management function sends the 488 from
zero to 62 mph in three seconds flat, from zero to 124 mph in 8.3
seconds and on to a top speed of 205 mph. Also found in the engine bay of the California T,
the Maserati-derived 3.9-liter V8 is expected to noticeably boost the
488's gas mileage but official figures have not been published yet.
Regardless, the downsized mill will help the Modena-based automaker
comply with European regulations by lowering its fleet's average CO2
emissions. Visually, the 488 GTB features a more aerodynamic front fascia
characterized by new headlights, a large three-part air dam and twin air
vents integrated into the hood. Air ducts located behind the doors
help cool the engine, while the rear end gains modestly updated LED tail
lamps and a new bumper. The changes inside are relatively minor
and largely limited to redesigned seats, new switches and an improved
infotainment system. The 2016 Ferrari 488 GTB will go on sale
before the end of the year. Its topless counterpart will be presented
at the Frankfurt Motor Show that will open its doors in September. (leftlanenews)
