We love boxing movies for their grit and drama, their strong protagonists, and their drive for greatness. Not to mention some shirtless eye candy… if you’re into that sort of thing. But it can be easy for boxing movies to fall back on lazy tropes and clichés. Don’t think these movies can be spectacular? Here are the best boxing movies you really need to check out! 10. The Boxer (1997) The Boxer is one of the more lesser-known but still thoroughly entertaining boxing movies that are worth watching....

After the invention of film cameras, businesses looked for ways to sell the movies made by those cameras. That eventually led to the creation of the studio system, which evolved into Hollywood and beyond. The Hollywood studio system became too powerful, especially in the post-WW2 era, which prompted smaller studios (who opposed the system) to produce their own films independently. That gave rise to low-budget movies, B movies, and independent films....

Not long after, Netflix began producing their own original anime series, giving us more reason to stay subscribed at a time when Netflix was bleeding market share.

The term Netflix Original encompasses both types: anime series that are actually produced by Netflix, as well as licensed anime series to which Netflix has exclusive streaming rights in the US....

Either way, video games provide a shared opportunity for laughter and entertainment. And mobile games are one of the best options for couples who want to game together. Just whip out your phone and play together whenever you want, wherever you want....

In some anime series, the weapon designs are where all the cool stuff happens. You’ll be asking “How does that work?” and “Where did that come from?” and so much more. Some weapons may seem ridiculously large for a given character while other weapons are simply too powerful to handle. Some may look harmless yet prove extremely deadly in action. Here are some of the coolest anime weapons we’ve ever seen and why they’re so awesome!...

Unlike science fiction video games—which I also love, so don’t think I’m judging—fantasy video games don’t just transport you to the future, but to places that are entirely new worlds. Here are the best fantasy RPG soundtracks that effectively capture that magical ingredient that no other genre has. Note: I considered entire soundtracks for this, not just one-off hits or iconic themes. I’ve also limited myself to one game per franchise....

While many gamers prefer to take their time and savor their gaming experiences, some look at their all-time favorite games and wonder how quickly they can fly through them. Sometimes these high-speed playthroughs—called speedruns—involve the exploiting of glitches to allow players to blink past entire sections of the game. But most of the time, speedruns just demand a lot of practice and endurance through hours and hours of replay. And while the skill and patience needed to complete a speedrun are impressive, some gamers take those feats to the next level....

And then there are novels that not only dazzle the mind and stir the senses, but stay buried within your heart for as long as it keeps beating, affecting you to your very core and changing who you are.

His extreme attention to detail earned him a reputation as a demanding perfectionist—so much so that he would force actors to repeat dozens of takes just so he could capture the exact performance he needed. Elstree Studios claims that Kubrick shot more than 1.3 million feet of film on The Shining: about 120 takes for every shot used, compared to the usual 5 to 15 takes on a normal filmmaking production....

The front cover of Detective Comics Issue #27 became an iconic moment in history, an indelible mark on pop culture, all because it featured the very first appearance of Batman. In the decades since, Batman has become a cultural icon. His story is familiar worldwide now: the orphaned Bruce Wayne, who watched as his parents were killed before his very eyes, becomes the shadowy phantom who stalks criminals in the darkness of Gotham City....

The wait was excruciating. The years took a toll on the actor as well as the desperate fanbase. But, finally, the world once again had the opportunity to see Ewan McGregor suit up as the Jedi Master. Did McGregor’s incarnation of the character finally grow more into Alec Guinness’ original zen Jedi? Could McGregor still convincingly infuse Obi-Wan with the energy that threaded his younger self with the elderly man we first saw rescuing Luke on Tatooine?...

To be fair, it’s not an unwritten rule that all movie remakes are always inferior to the original. However, the fact that Hollywood studios often use the concept of a remake to simply re-wrap and re-deliver the same old stories as new means most movie remakes are pointless. It’s rare for a remake to deserve its time in theaters. Perhaps it has something different to say, using a similar premise to take audiences in a new direction....

Zoan Devil Fruits allow transformation into giant or mythical beasts, Paramecia Devil Fruits allow conjuration or manipulation of various substances, and Logia Devil Fruits allow one’s body to shift into an element like fire or water. However, One Piece is also full of powerful characters who don’t need Devil Fruits to rule the seas and overpower pirates. Some of them rely solely on “willpower,” which is enough to bring anyone down and can match any Devil Fruit user’s capabilities....
