One of the 2000s' Biggest Rock Bands Is Opening the Vault 21 Years Later

The All-American Rejects are looking back at the album that took them from breakout pop-punk band to arena headliners.

The band released a new deluxe edition of its 3x-platinum sophomore album, Move Along, on Sept. 4, celebrating the record’s 21st anniversary with three bonus tracks and newly released archival footage.

Originally released on July 12, 2005, Move Along arrived at a pivotal moment for the Oklahoma rockers. The All-American Rejects had already found success with their 2002 self-titled debut, but their follow-up would take the band to another level.

The album debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200, giving the group its first Top 10 entry. It also produced three of the biggest songs of the band’s career: “Dirty Little Secret,” “Move Along” and “It Ends Tonight.”

“Dirty Little Secret” became a particularly massive hit, reaching the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and eventually earning a 6x-platinum certification. More than two decades later, the album has generated approximately 1.6 billion streams across platforms.

The new deluxe edition gives fans a reason to revisit the record while adding three sought-after bonus tracks: “Kiss Yourself Goodbye,” “Bite Back” and “Eyelash Wishes.” The expanded release is now available on vinyl, CD and digital formats, including a limited-edition Clear Glitter Vinyl 2LP available exclusively through the band’s official store and uDiscover.

The anniversary release also opens the vault for a newly released “Dirty Little Secret (Tournado DVD Version)” video. The archival footage was captured during a 2006 performance at Roy Wilkins Auditorium in Saint Paul, Minnesota, during the band’s Tournado Tour.

In May, the band released Sandbox, its first full-length album in 14 years, before taking its music directly to fans through a series of unconventional pop-up performances.

13 Years Ago, One of the Best Platformers of All Time Came Out

Rayman Legends is the best game of all time that nobody talks about, and it’s 13 years old today. The game is critically acclaimed, is getting a remake, and is historically considered a modern giant in the platforming genre, but it doesn’t get remembered the way a Mario or Sonic game does.

The sequel to Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends remains one of the most fluid platforming experiences of all time over a decade later. The controls are smooth as butter, the music is jovial and unforgettable, and the difficulty ramps up with just the right balance to elicit both moderate frustration and complete satisfaction.

Reviewers were so impressed with the game back in 2013 that some even said it was better than any of Mario’s offerings.

Eurogamer Italy said, “Rayman Legends is the best 2D platform of this generation, hands down. No modern 2D Mario game is as good, brilliant and fun as the Ancel’s newborn. Hail to the new king!”

Cubed 3 said, “Building upon the superbly solid foundation of Rayman Origins is no mean feat, but Ubisoft has indeed managed to out-do the House of Mario in the genre in which many thought Nintendo was untouchable.”

Rayman has long been one of the underrated gaming mascots in the industry. His games helped give Ubisoft a face for the company back in the late 1990s, but that was a short-lived reality. The company eventually tried to remove Rayman from his own games and change their genre when the Raving Rabbids party franchise was born in the mid-2000s. Ubisoft turned its focus to Assassin’s Creed and Just Dance to sell more copies rather than take the time to foster growth for Rayman.

Hopefully, the remake of Rayman Legends will help Ubisoft realize the value of one of their oldest characters, and if the game sells well, there will be new Rayman experiences on the way.

The Apsvo Sterling Silver-Plated Birthstone Tennis Bracelet is on sale for $13 at Walmart, 88% off its normal $110 price tag. It comes in 14 different colors: 12 birthstones, a rainbow-colored stone, and no colored stone.

This wide variety of colors combined with the quality of this piece is why it’s earned nearly 6,900 five-star ratings.

The structure of this bracelet is made of high-quality copper plated with S925 sterling silver, a designation that shows its 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals that add the strength needed to stand up to the rigors of everyday use. It’s lead- and nickel-free and won’t cause skin irritation. Premium plating technology means this bracelet also has anti-tarnish, anti-fade, and wear-resistant properties. It’s also adjustable, so it can be worn anywhere from 6 to 10 inches long, ensuring a secure fit no matter the circumference of the wrist.

One shopper wrote that they “couldn’t pass up this tennis bracelet at the rollback price, and I’m so glad I didn’t.” That’s because it’s “absolutely beautiful, sparkles like crazy, and looks much more expensive than it is.” And if that wasn’t enough, “it feels comfortable to wear and adds the perfect touch of elegance to any outfit.”

Another customer called it a “beautiful bracelet” that’s “easy to put on yourself.”

DeWalt's 20V Max Powerpack Battery Bundle Is Nearly 50% Off for Labor Day

Why We Love This Deal

Amazon’s Labor Day sale is packed with the usual suspects: Sony headphones, robot vacuums, last-minute deals on air conditioners, and so on. But now is also a great time to pick up some new DeWalt batteries. DeWalt, which usually shines during these Amazon sales, has all kinds of cells from its 20V series marked down, including this two-pack from the Powerpack line, and it’s currently almost half off.

The DeWalt 20V Max XR Powerpack 4Ah Battery 2-Pack is already on sale for $140, a 48% discount from its normal price of $269. Despite the deals you might see during this sale, seeing a price drop like this is actually significant. Amazon used to have lots of sales on DeWalt batteries, but nowadays, deals like this are harder to find. Even so, Amazon usually still has better prices compared to other retailers, especially now. This price beats the prices at Ace Hardware and Blain’s Farm & Fleet, for example.

Don’t need two? There’s also a single battery on sale for about $70 right now, though inventory seems to be limited.

What Shoppers Should Know

Tool Series: 20V Max
Battery Capacity: 4Ah
LED Power Gauge: Yes
Charger Included: No
Battery Weight: 1.2 pounds

This bundle includes two of DeWalt’s 20V Max XR Powerpack batteries, each rated for 4Ah. These batteries are compatible with any of DeWalt’s 20V Max lineup of tools and chargers, so this set is a great pick for anyone who already owns some DeWalt items.

Each battery has an easy-to-read LED power gauge, so you can see its charge state at a glance. At 1.2 pounds each, they’re very light, especially compared to regular DeWalt 4Ah batteries, which weigh 3 pounds each. The batteries also feature overmolded rubber bottoms to boost their durability.

What Is DeWalt Powerpack?

So what exactly does “Powerpack” mean? DeWalt launched its Powerpack batteries back in 2024 with a larger 8Ah model, aimed at increasing efficiency and power. These batteries aren’t just regular 4Ah power cells. They utilize DeWalt’s tabless lithium-ion cell technology, which gives them 50% more power and longer runtime compared to the brand’s standard 4Ah batteries (model DCB204).

Amazingly, these batteries are also smaller than the standard 4Ah cells. That means you can use your tools for longer and get more oomph without upgrading to a bulkier, heavier, and pricier battery with a higher amp-hour rating.

DeWalt items always sell fast on Amazon, especially when they get a discount. At 48% off, this powerful battery 2-pack could sell out before Labor Day arrives.

'The Invite' HBO Max Release Window Confirmed

Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton invite you to spend time with them at a very special dinner party later this year, thanks to HBO Max.

The Invite, the A24 sex comedy based on the Spanish film The People Upstairs, only received a limited theatrical release, but scored an impressive $55 million box office run, following its premiere back in June this year.

Directed by Wilde, the filmmaker behind Booksmart (2019) and Don’t Worry Darling (2022) and features a small, but all-star cast. “Joe and Angela’s marriage is on thin ice,” A24’s official logline teases. “When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places. Have they reignited the spark or lit the match that burns it all down?”

‘The Invite’ HBO Max Release Window and Likely Streaming Date, Explained

HBO and HBO Max are owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, which has a “Pay-1” rights deal with A24. The terms of the agreement, which was renewed earlier this year, state that the studio’s films will automatically go to HBO Max as their streaming home after their theatrical and PVOD (Premium Video on Demand) release windows have ended (per The Hollywood Reporter).

Going from the history of the deal, the theatrical-streaming window for HBO and A24 under the Pay-1 deal is roughly 119 days, which is around 17 weeks, or 4 months. Another A24 hit, Backrooms, arrived on HBO Max on September 25 — exactly 119 days after its U.S. theatrical debut, proving the rule to be true, even for the more successful releases from the studio.

If we do a little math here, the U.S. theatrical premiere of The Invite on June 26 places the film on course to arrive on HBO Max by Friday, October 23, 2026,— give or take a few days, but in good time for the upcoming holidays. This window may shift slightly, but historically, 119 days has proven precedent for A24 films on HBO Max (formerly Max).

The Miami Dolphins Ride the Backup Quarterback Carousel

As the clock ticks down to the 6 pm EST deadline to have rosters at 53 men, Miami has started off the day in an unexpected way. First, they traded quarterback Quinn Ewers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round pick.

Ewers came into camp as the presumed backup quarterback behind Malik Willis but struggled in camp and the preseason. From starting multiple games last season to being traded, that kind of move sends a message to the team: if you aren’t good enough, we’ll find someone who is.

After trading Ewers, the team waived Cam Miller. Miller had a pretty bad preseason, going 16 of 38 for 170 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. He just wasn’t good enough to count on should Malik Willis go down.

So Miami turned to a familiar team to shore up their depth chart. Miami made a trade with the Green Bay Packers to obtain quarterback Kyle McCord for a 2028 sixth-round pick. It is almost like they traded Ewers for McCord.

McCord was a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft. He spent 2025 on the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad before being signed by the Packers this offseason. He was impressive for Green Bay this preseason, posting a stat line of 46 of 70 for 446 yards and four touchdowns. That was good enough to impress the Dolphins, who will likely name him their second-string quarterback before the season opener.

So what is the big takeaway from Miami riding the QB carousel so late in the offseason? I think it shows the new regime is unafraid to make the move they think is right, no matter what. It would have been easy to go into the season with backups you aren’t happy about, since this is likely going to be a season spent tanking.

However, with this move, Miami has shown it’s committed to competing as best it can, and it clearly thinks McCord will help in that regard. The start of the offseason involved getting veteran contributors new extensions, showing that the new regime will reward players, whereas today’s moves show that poor performance can get you shipped out of town. We’ll have to see if this inspires the remaining players to play hard as the season progresses.
