What Rotten Tomatoes Reviews Are Saying About Insidious: The Red Door
Learn MoreWhat Rotten Tomatoes Reviews Are Saying About Insidious: The Red Door"Insidious: The Red Door" is set to deliver chills and thrills aplenty when it hits theatres on July 7. But unfortunately, it looks like Rotten Tomatoes critics aren't willing to go along for the ride with the franchise's latest installment; the movie sits at 50% with six positive reviews and six negative ones posted to the website as of press time. But there are some positive reviews to be had: Anthony O'Connor of FILMINK went into his screening with tempered expectations about the film's originality. "With those caveats in place, knocking on this door should provide an adequate, if not spectacular, final trip into the Further," he concluded. It's lukewarm praise, but praise nonetheless.

Welcome to Wellington – Chaat Street: Indian street food
If you head to Chaat Street expecting to order your favourite curry, you'll have to think again. Owner and chef Vaibhav Vishen is opening Wellingtonian's eyes to Indian cuisine and its wide-ranging street foods, one tapas dish at a time. Chaat are traditional savoury snacks sold by Indian and South Asian street vendors. “These traditional dishes from the streets of India are a combination of textures, spice, and a variety of complex flavours. That is what 'chaat' literally means, to lick, and it’s a blanket term for street food in India,” says Vaibhav.

The doctor recommended cola instead of surgery
While eating the spicy food, the woman began to feel a tickling in her throat, which turned out to be caused by a small stuck piece of chicken bone. The woman did not immediately consult a doctor, as she thought that the piece of bone would go away on its own, but it did not. Finally, he went to the emergency room, where the otolaryngologist determined there was indeed a small piece of chicken bone stuck in his throat. However, the doctor suggested a gentler, if unusual, method: drink four cans of sugary cola, because it would melt the piece of bone. To his great surprise, the syrup really helped, and he felt better the next morning, the chicken bone from his throat had disappeared.

Chief Science Advisory report co-author: Legal action over gang association can cause collateral damage
New Zealand cannot arrest its way out of the gang problem. That's according to a report by the Chief Science Advisory - requested to inform policy for reducing gang harm. It instead calls for improvements in addressing related factors such as family harm, youth offending and drug use. Co-author Tracey McIntosh says legal action over simply being associated with gangs causes collateral damage. And it means you have much more distrust in a community and those young people who you actually don't want to enter into a pathway of gangs actually feel that they have no other opportunity."

Barfoot & Thompson's house sales volumes flat in June
Barfoot & Thompson reported remarkably flat sales in June as the housing market remains subdued over winter. The real estate agency, the largest in the Auckland residential property market, reported 711 residential sales in June, barely changed from 723 in May and 684 in June last year. However last month's sales were the second lowest, behind only June 2022, for the month of June since 2010, suggesting the Auckland housing market remains in a slump. Selling prices edged up slightly with the agency's average selling price coming in at $1,097,896 in June, up $27,077 compared to May. "The current housing market cycle is probably one of the hardest Aucklanders have been through in recent years," Barfoot & Thompson Managing Director Peter Thompson said.

Look, I know it’s terribly important that Kiri Allan yelled at unelected overpaid Wellington bureaucrats and Tory Whanau forgot to pay a bill – but the planet is melting
I know, I know, I know. I know, I know, I know. In this paper we report that in the ESCIMO climate model the world is already past a point-of-no-return for global warming. In ESCIMO we observe self-sustained thawing of the permafrost for hundreds of years, even if global society stops all emissions of man-made GHGs immediately. To stop the self-sustained warming in ESCIMO, enormous amounts of CO2 have to be extracted from the atmosphere.

Government deficit deepens to $6.5 billion
New Zealand’s crown deficit has grown to $6.5 billion in the eleven months ended in May, more than $2 billion worse than forecast in Budget 2023. The shortfall was largely due to weaker tax revenue from corporate profits, which have been struggling against high interest rates. Core Crown tax revenue was $103.3 billion, but $2.2 billion below forecast. Core crown expenses were close to forecast at $115.1 billion but the missing tax revenue added $2.1 billion to the operating balance deficit of $6.5 billion. Net debt was $5.1 billion higher than forecast at $73.3 billion, or 18.9% of gross domestic product (or 39.5% using the old core debt measure at $153 billion).
