The second Black Phone movie staring Ethan Hawke is out across Oman this weekend.

As the mystery deepens, a dark force more powerful than before begins to reveal itself. Black Phone 2 is at the cinema from Thursday.

A new study reveals that drinking more than one can of sugary or diet soda every day raises the risk of developing a condition where fat builds up in the liver, often linked to things like being overweight, having diabetes, or unhealthy eating habits. This fat buildup can cause liver problems and affect how well your liver works over time. The medical term for this is called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
