If your 2014 plans include a lot of travel, we’ve found something you’ll want to put on your holiday wish list—a compact, universal Voyager case produced by Manekibook, headquartered in Prague.

Here’s what we like about this traveling companion: it has ample space for two passports, a section for paper money, a slot for three SIM cards and storage for up to 10 credit cards, license or other plastic cards. There’s also an open vertical pocket where you can tuck airplane tickets and other important items.

We also love the look and feel of the handmade Italian vegetable dyed leather. It’s definitely an item that will carry you through many travels and adventures.

Brothers Oleg and Anton Dumas founded Manekibook in 2009. Other items in their Equinox collection include the Signaller, which is a wallet case for iPhone 5/5s, the Entreprenuer, a case folder for Macbook Air 13″, and the Shturman notebook.

A new version of a cult-classic serial killer movie may be hitting screens soon

The 2000 movie has become a cult classic in certain corners of the internet.

There's already been one adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho, and it's a genuinely great thriller. Even so, Luca Guadagnino is apparently getting ready to adapt the novel to the big screen again. The director, who is best known for films like Challengers and Call Me By Your Name, is partnering with Lionsgate on the new adaptation, according to Variety.

The film, which was written by Scott Z. Burns, is not a remake of the 2000 version of American Psycho, but is instead a new adaptation of the original novel. That 2000 film starred Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, a successful New York City businessman who had a secret double life as a serial killer.

The 16 undisputed best comedy movies of all time

These comedies are sure to soothe your soul, and they've stood the test of time for decades

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally

There are plenty of people who believe that certain kinds of movies are harder to make than others. Sure, a great war movie has a massive budget, and it has to both excite its audience and leave them thinking, and great action movies have to coordinate complicated stunts that feel inventive and daring, but there may be no genre more difficult to nail than comedy.

A great comedy can soothe your soul, but great comedy means writing the kinds of jokes that stand the test of time and that are still funny decades after they were written. Because comedy is always changing, that can be almost impossible. Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of great comedy movies, but the best comedy movies on this list are the ones that rise above the pack. Their jokes endure, and no matter when they were released, you'll find watching them delightful whenever you happen to turn them on.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is so cheap, I might ditch my ‘dumb watch’

A man wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.

Last year we were advising you to get a dumb watch, now we're showing you a Samsung smart watch? It's not that simple, and both have their place. Plus, this deal on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is pretty juicy, so we think you should have a look anyhow. Usually $430, the watch is now just $150. That's a savings of $280, which accounts for 65% of the watch's regular price. There's not much time to get the watch, however, as this deal was already set to end in 13 hours while this article was being written. And that's not even taking into account that the deal ends when it sells out. All of this is to say, if you're interested in this deal, go ahead and tap the button below to see if its still being offered, as it very well might not be. If you see that it is, keep reading to learn more about the crew's personal experiences with the watch.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
As stated before, even though we do love a good fitness tracker, showing off a smart watch isn't our usual modus operandi around these parts. But, some deals are just too good to pass up. That's why we're taking a look at the expertise of our sister site, Digital Trends, and encouraging you to read our Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 review. Our reviewer found the watch to be quite comfortable. For the larger screen, he wore the 44mm watch despite having a smaller wrist and had no problems wearing it comfortably. The watch is IP68 dust and waterproof as well, offering some of the best dust and water protection that electronic devices can have.
