Mario Tennis Fever serves up straight sets of chaotic fun

The Mario Tennis series has never been one to hold my attention. While it has been a solid entry in the Mario Sports genre, outside of the motion controls on the Wii in Mario Power Tennis, which felt new and exciting, the novelty of motion controls has definitely worn off.

The Getty Villa

Skip the obvious this Valentine’s Day: Five romantic comedies you haven’t already rewatched

Every Valentine’s Day, the same titles trend. The Julia Roberts megahits. The Kate Hudson comfort rewatches. The Reese Witherspoon charm offensives. The Sandra Bullock slow-burns. And, if you’re feeling windswept and literary, perhaps another brooding dive into “Wuthering Heights” and its stormy declarations of doomed love. But what if this year you skipped the obvious?…
