Nikon Canada Inc. is pleased to announce the release of a new silver edition of the full-frame/FX-format Nikon Z f mirrorless camera. The Nikon Z f combines a timeless design inspired by an iconic Nikon film camera with the superior performance of a full-frame mirrorless camera.
Three new Premium Exterior1 colour options will also be available, providing more choices for users to customize the colour of their Z f camera body1. Additionally, the Z f will support a new Film Grain feature that adds grain to photos and videos, further expanding creative possibilities.
Designed to resemble the silver plating on film-era cameras like the Nikon F, the metallic texture creates an authentic feel suited to the premium, full-frame retro design. Three new Premium Exterior colour options have been added: Cognac Brown, Teal Blue, and Mauve Pink – all with an embossed texture.

This update is scheduled for release within 2025.

Cue the harmonies and grab the boyz because Booking.com, one of the world’s leading digital travel companies, is inviting fans to unwind in harmony with Boyz II Zen: A Wellness Escape by Boyz II Men. This unforgettable getaway, set in a luxury oceanfront vacation home in the Florida Keys and curated by the Grammy Award-winning R&B group themselves, hits every high note. It offers one lucky fan and up to five of their boyz (or girls!) a chance to relax, recharge and reconnect through soulful wellness experiences, including a private meet and greet and unplugged acapella performance by Boyz II Men themselves that will make it so hard to say goodbye when it’s time to check out.
Grounded in Booking.com’s 2025 Travel Prediction “Boyz II Zen”, the escape taps into a growing demand for travel that supports mental well-being and personal growth, especially among men. Today’s male travellers are increasingly swapping traditional ‘bro culture’ clichés for self-care, with 30% of Canadian male travellers seeking to rest and rejuvenate, 26% chasing mental health benefits, 24% wanting to unplug from everyday stress, and 23% focusing on personal growth. And with 61% of Canadian Gen Z men planning wellness-centered escapes this year, it’s clear that R&B and R&R might just be the perfect combo.
Boyz II Zen: A Wellness Escape includes a four-night itinerary crafted with care by Boyz II Men themselves — a celebration of calm, connection, and that unmistakable slow-jam spirit:
-A four-night stay for six at a luxury vacation home in the Florida Keys that offers panoramic ocean views, private beach access, and ample space to unwind. It’s the kind of setting that invites guests to whisper let’s chill the moment they arrive.
-Guests will enjoy a private meet & greet with Boyz II Men themselves, featuring an intimate a cappella performance over cocktails. It’s the ultimate R&B daydream: live, personal, and perfectly in tune.
-A beachside BBQ prepared by a local gourmet chef pairs with ocean breezes, paddle boating, and laid-back vibes that promise a full-body experience of relaxation.
-A golf day at a nearby course provides the perfect opportunity to find zen on the green. Tee off with friends and enjoy a laid-back round where the focus is on camaraderie, fresh air, and relaxing the mind.
-A smooth-sailing boat day with pick-up right from the private dock offers slow jams, sea breezes, and good vibes, because when spending time with one’s crew like this, nothing else matters.
-The stay begins with a Boyz II Brunch featuring comfort classics and soulful dishes that would make any mama proud, all accompanied by a playlist of pure gold.
-Melodic massages and scalp treatments designed to melt away any end of the road tension, leaving guests feeling refreshed and renewed.
-Meditation and yoga sessions set to the soothing sounds of Boyz II Men’s greatest hits encourage stretching and spiritual connection.
-A Zen & the Art of R+B sound bath and breathwork session brings mind, body, and soul into harmony, because self-care deserves a soundtrack.
-Dinners at some of the Florida Keys’ premier local restaurants combine breathtaking views with flavors that hit all the right notes, from motownphilly to main course.
“After decades on the road, we’ve learned that sometimes the most powerful harmony comes from slowing down and experiencing all that travel has to offer,” said Boyz II Men. “That’s why we’re excited to team up with Booking.com to create space in an amazing vacation home where fans can relax, recharge and reconnect with both themselves and each other. Boyz II Zen: A Wellness Escape is all about good vibes, real connection and bringing rhythm into your life and travels in more ways than one.”

Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah’s isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife, Elsie White (Julia Fox; Uncut Gems, No Sudden Move). But as Cam’s training accelerates, Isaiah’s charisma begins to curdle into something darker, sending his protégé down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for.
The film features a dynamic supporting cast including alternative comedy legend Tim Heidecker (First Time Female Director, Us) and Australian comic Jim Jefferies (The Jim Jefferies Show), plus MMA heavyweight fighter Maurice Greene and hip hop phenoms Guapdad 4000 and Grammy nominee Tierra Whack, all three in their feature film debuts.
HIM is directed by Justin Tipping (Kicks) from an acclaimed Black List screenplay by Zack Akers & Skip Bronkie (creators of the sci-fi crime series Limetown) and by Justin Tipping. The film is produced by Ian Cooper (Nope, Us), Jordan Peele (Candyman, BlacKkKlansman), Win Rosenfeld (Candyman, Lovecraft Country) and Jamal M.

In the new film, Gabby (Laila Lockhart Kraner, reprising her role from the series) heads out on a road trip with her Grandma Gigi (four-time Grammy Award winner Gloria Estefan) to the urban wonderland of Cat Francisco. But when Gabby’s dollhouse, her most prized possession, ends up in the hands of an eccentric cat lady named Vera (Oscar® nominee Kristen Wiig), Gabby sets off on an adventure through the real world to get the Gabby Cats back together and save the dollhouse before it’s too late.

Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie is directed by Ryan Crego (executive producer of Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh, I Heart Arlo), who earned a Children’s and Family Emmy nomination for his television feature Arlo the Alligator Boy. The film is produced by Steven Schweickart, who has served as a production supervisor or co-producer on some of DreamWorks Animation’s biggest blockbusters including How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods and most recently, Kung Fu Panda 4, which has earned almost $500 million worldwide.

The trailer and poster for the upcoming re-release of “Avatar: The Way of Water,” the Oscar®-winning global box office phenomenon from filmmaker James Cameron, are here and available to download and share. The film, which was released in 2022 and grossed more than $2.3 billion worldwide, winning an Academy Award® for best achievement in visual effects, will be re-released in 3D exclusively in theatres for a one-week special engagement worldwide October 3, 2025.
“Avatar: The Way of Water” reaches new heights and explores undiscovered depths as James Cameron returns to the world of Pandora in this emotionally packed action-adventure. Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, “Avatar: The Way of Water” launches the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure. All of this against the backdrop of the breathtaking seascapes of Pandora, where audiences are introduced to new Na’vi cultures and a range of exotic sea creatures. Nominated for numerous Academy Awards®, including best picture, “Avatar: The Way of Water” became the third highest-grossing film of all time worldwide and set a new benchmark for visual effects. Produced by Cameron and his longtime partner Jon Landau, the 20th Century Studios-Lightstorm Entertainment production stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis, and Kate Winslet. Joining the illustrious adult cast are talented newcomers Britain Dalton, Jamie Flatters, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Bailey Bass and Jack Champion. The screenplay is by James Cameron & Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver, with story by James Cameron & Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver & Josh Friedman & Shane Salerno. David Valdes and Richard Baneham serve as the film’s executive producers.
Set in modern-day Tokyo, RENTAL FAMILY follows an American actor (Brendan Fraser) who struggles to find purpose until he lands an unusual gig: working for a Japanese “rental family” agency, playing stand-in roles for strangers. As he immerses himself in his clients’ worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality. Confronting the moral complexities of his work, he rediscovers purpose, belonging, and the quiet beauty of human connection.
Searchlight Pictures release RENTAL FAMILY November 21, 2025.
