Will you get in trouble for watching? Probably not. But they could go down any day. If you want to stream TV shows for free without exposing yourself to unnecessary malware risks or breaking the law, you’ll want to stick to legitimate sites run by legitimate companies....

With thousands of movies released every year, it’s easy to forget just how arduous it can be to make an entire feature film. Just think of all those names that roll up during closing credits! On average, it takes about 500 people to complete a movie, from pre-production all the way to post-production and release. With so much work involved, there’s bound to be a few mishaps. But some movies experience more than their fair share of production problems....

Enter the Gungeon is one of the most frustrating, yet satisfying games I’ve ever played. Each chamber gets your adrenaline up—just one wrong move can end your entire playthrough. Dying over and over can make anyone want to give up, but improving in a few areas can make a huge difference in your performance. Follow these Enter the Gungeon tips and you’ll be on your way to the final chamber! Die less and win more....

There’s nothing quite like the sound of a classic wooden bat cracking against a baseball, or the rush from a great swing that perfectly connects with the end of a slugger. Baseball has grown into one of the most popular sports in Japan, so it’s no surprise that there have been many anime series about baseball. These anime series know how to capture the magical feeling of baseball, from devilish pitches to homerun hits, from adrenaline-pumping sprints to miraculous base claims....

Knights have always been some of the most interesting characters in history, and they only get even more interesting when you consider the legendary paladins of folklore and fantasy. While knights and paladins have traditionally been more of a Western thing, they do appear in anime—to surprisingly great results. Their tasks, quests, and journeys fall right into the template of the Hero’s Journey, with compelling stories of characters fighting monsters, traversing dangerous terrains, and overcoming insurmountable odds....

Who doesn’t love a good revenge film? When someone is deeply wronged by another and it seems like no consequences will come their way, we long for our hero to take matters into their own hands. But the revenge film can also be self-reflective, asking us to consider questions like: Is revenge good? Where is the line drawn between justice and vengeance? When is vigilantism acceptable, if it is? For any given case, the desire for revenge may seem justified by some yet unlawful or even immoral by others....

Some of the coolest characters we’ve seen in anime were blind. Most would consider blindness to be a disability, but that’s rarely the case in anime. In fact, it can lead to compensated greatness elsewhere! It’s a pretty common trope for a sightless character to have heightened other senses, like superhuman hearing. Others are just so badass that their lack of sight just keeps them on the same level as everyone else....

We’ve all seen those films that feature childhood “gangs” that we longed to be part of when we were growing up. These childhood friendship groups—whether comprised of teenagers or younger—are often full of quirky characters who end up hunting for treasure, defeating evil wizards, running from clowns, or maybe just stuck in detention for a day. Get your bikes out and join us as we take a ride down memory lane!...

A character is incomplete if they have no outfit to complement their identity, status, and development. Character outfits can range across many types—from jewel-embedded gowns to fantastical robes of wizardry—but no matter the type, every character needs a suitable outfit. And one of the coolest outfit types is the armor outfit . Between breastplates, helmets, gauntlets, and all the other ensemble pieces, the design of a character’s armor can elevate them from boring to legendary....

If you ask me, the sweet spot for a board gaming group is between 4 to 5 players. Sadly, it can be hard—even for a group that size—to meet up regularly for weekly or monthly sessions. And so, most of the time, I find myself in a group of three. But I don’t consider that to be a bad thing, especially because there are so many great board games that are great for three players....

Occasionally, the houses that we live in can cause the greatest amount of fear. Our homes are supposed to be places of sanctuary, so when that sanctuary gets taken away, it can be devastating. Perhaps that’s why horror films featuring haunted houses are so engaging. They get to the heart of this idea, and the subversive, almost mundane function of a killer house is why I enjoy this subgenre so much....

It’s not uncommon for multiple actors and actresses to play a single character, especially when there are flashbacks, multiple timelines, or shapeshifters involved. It’s much rarer for a single actor or actress to play multiple characters in a single film. Often times, you may not even realize that multiple characters are played by the same person, particularly if they’re buried under layers of makeup and prosthetics. Other times, you don’t know that multiple characters are being portrayed, which is later revealed as a plot twist....

Most anime stories wouldn’t be complete if there were no good guys fighting for what’s right, up against villains and their heinous plans. Often, anime heroes are extraordinary with special abilities—but sometimes the heroes of anime are ordinary cops and detectives, especially in mystery anime series. In those cases, the protagonist may often be a detective (or a team of detectives) aiming to solve cases and chase down culprits. When done well, such anime series can be as thrilling as any other....

To some, the turn of the millennium ushered in the greatest sitcoms in television history. Sure, many 90s sitcoms remain pretty iconic , but they paved the way for even better shows. Between 2000 and 2010, we got some of the funniest, most heartfelt, and most memorable sitcoms to this day. And with so many to pick from, it’s hard to rank them let alone crown a king. But we’re going to try anyway!...

If you’ve been playing Pokémon games for more than a few generations, you might’ve noticed a decline in creativity. The cool, charming, and iconic Pokémon you remember from years ago—like Charizard, Mewtwo, Snorlax, and Psyduck—now sit next to some of the weirdest species we’ve ever seen in the Pokédex. Here are our picks for the weirdest Pokémon from across the many generations! Whether you love or hate the following Pokémon, you can’t deny that they’re strange, unique, and memorable....

As fun as it is to play board games with friends in person, it’s not always possible. People may be busy with life. Maybe you have to relocate somewhere far away. Whatever the case, you probably can’t play board games as often as you’d like. One option is to play board games with your friends online. We’ve covered several ways to do that in another article, but all of those methods have their own pros and cons....

History has been a great subject for many films, featuring the rich cultures of countries or even the hardships of citizens caught in various historical events (wars, plagues, etc). Some films have plots based on real records of history that were kept and preserved by historians and museums, and some films go further by accurately depicting true-to-life stories of real people who played real roles in real historical events. Of course, in these biopics, creative license can be taken to spice up the narrative and tighten things up for the audience....

Every child has had a favorite toy—something they cling to for comfort and joy. When Jurassic Park came out and popularized dinosaurs, it had a big impact on the toy manufacturing industry. Suddenly, dinosaur toys were everywhere and kids couldn’t get enough of them. But it wasn’t just children—adults too were bewildered by the variety, and Christmas rushes felt much like the film itself: a terrifying chase through stores, fighting for your life against other shoppers....

Nothing in cinema makes money quite like a blockbuster does. Raking in billions of dollars with a single film was long unheard of—until Titanic became the first movie to break that record in 1998. It takes a special kind of movie director to forge a film that not only catches the attention of so many viewers, but entices them enough to spend their hard-earned cash at a movie theater. And if that director is really good, they can get us hooked and ready for the next film in the series....

Remember the golden age of Hollywood? Back when cinemas weren’t stuffed with commercialized films that appeal to the masses? Decades ago, Hollywood had a knack for putting out films with a grand sense of purpose without even trying. Today, movie theaters are full of superheroes and blockbusters that are more for escapism and raw entertainment—which isn’t, of itself, a bad thing. The kinds of movies that get pumped out today aren’t always the same as what got made decades ago, but if you look around enough, you’ll find that there are plenty of excellent modern films—ones that are even challenging—that stimulate the grander questions of life....
