It can be tough to watch a movie that deals with difficult subjects. If you're watching a movie where a character's life spirals out of control due to alcoholism, it can be incredibly hard to sit through if you've struggled with alcoholism in the past. These themes can be painful to experience, both in real life and on screen, but it's important to remember that life isn't easy for everyone. People have problems in life that you only wish you could understand.

When I sat down to watch Back Roads, the first image I was greeted with was a black screen with text that told me that our main characters were abused as children and their mother was sent to jail for killing their father. For the next 108 minutes, all I felt was disgust and horror, but in a good way. You know, for as much as I can enjoy watching several children's life fall apart around them.

It's been 16 years since Broken Lizard exploded onto the scene with their stoner-comedy Super Troopers. Ever since then, they have had ups and downs in terms of their movies but for the most part, their comedy has always tickled me in just the right parts where I'll always go back and enjoy their work for years to come.

When the sequel was announced through IndieGogo three years ago, I wondered if it was too late for a proper sequel. I also feared that a sequel would suffer the same fate of many other late comedy follow-ups, relying too heavily on the previous movie for its majority of laughs. I can gladly say Broken Lizard had the foresight to avoid going full-on referential humor while still paying respect to the movie that brought them to the game.

Netflix is set to release 80 movies this year, and by virtue of "something has to stick," at least a few of them are bound to be noteworthy. Add their shows to that and Netflix is spending $8 billion on original content, an amount with which they could purchase a team from each of the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB, and still have money leftover for Adam Sandler to pretend he’s Scrooge McDuck.

Last week, Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos made their intentions clear regarding the new rule implemented at the Cannes Film Festival seemingly aimed squarely at the subscription service. A streaming company refusing to bend to traditional rules is now reportedly in the market to purchase their own theater(s). Is this a smart move?

The MoviePass saga continues as an independent auditor’s bleak outlook on the company reports “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue.

The news comes off the heels of CEO Mitch Lowe’s walking back statements eluding to the company’s data collection capabilities and how MoviePass seeks to track consumer habits and movie-going preferences to “push” other services and user-specific features. The vision Lowe and MoviePass maintains, to “know where you’re going to go and know when the movie is going to start,” in order to provide customers “relevant recommendations," might be short-lived as financial documents made public by its parent company, Helios & Matheson Analytics, reveal a need for additional funding and net losses for the foreseeable future.

Though Lowe has previously claimed MoviePass will reach profitability in 2019, the filing indicates that MoviePass "currently spends more to retain a subscriber than the revenue derived from that subscriber.” The service’s other sources of revenue are not enough to offset or “exceed the costs of subscriber retention.”

Helios & Matheson Analytics CEO Ted Farnsworth tells Business Insider that $110 million of the loss is non-cash, but it’s still a much higher loss than the $7.4 million that the company reported before its acquisition of MoviePass.

MoviePass has gained over 2 million subscribers since offering a monthly plan for $9.95 (although this monthly fee fluctuates regularly). Given recent insight into the company’s finances, it’s anyone’s guess as to whether MoviePass and Helios & Matheson Analytics, who recently plummeted more than 40% in the market trade since revealing its public share pricing, will be willing or able to continue offering low subscription prices for their movie ticketing service.

Starz has announced that Ash vs Evil Dead will not be renewed for a fourth season. After the April 29 season finale the show will be cancelled, ending a run that painted our screens in prolific amounts of gore and blood, not to mention returning "The Classic" to the small screen. I have to say, I'm partly to blame as I don't have a Starz subscription and would just wait for the season to be done to binge it on Amazon by subscribing for a month.

Sorry about that, Bruce Campbell.

The show, which started off with solid ratings in season one, had had slumped down to only 225,000 viewers by the time the third season rolled around. It's too bad since it was a ton of fun, and wasn't shy of being a gory mess with cheesy effects, and one-liners coming out of Campbell's mouth every other second. There were some pretty classic scenes through the first two seasons, and the writers and producers did a good job in tying it all in with the plot and tone of the films. Of course, I haven't watched the third season yet so that could all not be true anymore.

Again, really sorry about that, Bruce Campbell.

The point is that we'll no longer have a guy with a chainsaw for a hand on our televisions, and that's not groovy. Not groovy at all.

By the way, if you're one of the people that hasn't watched the show at all, it's on Netflix (U.S.) now, and it's incredibly bingeable.

Denzel Washington has basically always been better than everyone else in his movies. He’s smarter (Crimson Tide), faster (The Book of Eli), deadlier (Man on Fire), handsomer (all of them), and wittier (Training Day). Even when he’s not getting the best of someone (Inside Man) he’s still getting the better of someone else. It’s therefore no surprise that Denzel has a franchise like The Equalizer to his name. If you’re not familiar, you should be. The original was a real treat—think of it as Taken with Denzel. Or better yet, think of it as The Book of Eli, but he’s not blind.

You may or may not be a fan of Amy Schumer. I am. I find a lot of her humor insightful and hilarious. Her stand up special kind of sucked, though, and she's 50/50 on headlining movies so I was hoping to get back into enjoying her comedy with I Feel Pretty, a movie that looked to send up all those 90s and early 2000s romantic comedies where we all learn the value of a stable relationship, being ourselves, and doing ridiculously romantic and over-the-top things to prove ourselves in the end.

Imagine my disappointment when about halfway through the film I realized Schumer wasn't sending up these films, but just simply making one. This wasn't a clever wink at the inherent sexism in rom-coms or the problematic dependence of people's happiness being tied to getting hitched. It was one of those movies, straight up, and by the end all I could think about was how out of date it felt. Did it have its funny parts? Definitely, but the whole thing felt like something made 10 years ago for a society that hadn't just gone through a massive cultural movement.

I Feel Pretty's message is on point, its delivery is not.

Last year's Mindhunter was a thrilling and stylish look into the life of serial killers and the people who hunt them. David Fincher's involvement was large part of that, giving each monologue and each scene appropriate weight through his steady, omnipotent camerawork.

Well, you don't have to worry about the next season. According to a report by The Playlist, Fincher will return to direct the premiere, the finale, and a handful of episodes in between for the next season of Mindhunter.

Joining Fincher will be the likes of Andrew Dominik, director of films like Killing them Softly and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and Carl Franklin, best known for his film Devil in a Blue Dress.

Fincher, along with Charlize Theron, is set once again to executive produce the show that Joe Penhall created. The series is based on the true-crime novel of the same name, written by former FBI agents John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker.

But, what will Season 2 have in store? Well, all our main actors from Season 1 will return, including Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany, and Anna Torv in their respective roles. The setting has changed too; from the Midwest to Atlanta during the late 70s and early 80s during the horrific child murders that took place in that time period.

All other information has been kept pretty tight lipped, but it's safe to say that Season 2 is shaping up well for it's 2019 release.

We're getting closer, everyone. Rampage threatened to be mildly entertaining, and that means we're just a few steps away from an actually good video game movie. It's gonna happen, and maybe it'll be The Division that does it? With the announcement that David Leitch is directing I'm thinking... maybe?

The game's story and general quality are kind of meh, and it really did a crappy job of saying anything at all, but that's why I think they can pull this off. There's so little there that Leitch, who has some serious action direction chops, could put his own stamp on this thing, and maybe actually say something in the process. Lord knows the game didn't attempt to do anything interesting so we've basically got a clean slate here. Having Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain star in the film won't hurt, but then again Gyllenhaal was in Prince of Persia and that was a craptacular video game adaptation.

So maybe this one won't suc... what's that? This is being developed by Ubisoft's film studio, who made Assassin's Creed? Never mind, guys, nothing to see here.

I hate to say it, but the trailer and poster for Acrimony tricked me into thinking it might be better than it is. Congratulations, Tyler Perry marketing team. I’m going to attempt to untangle what exactly the point of Acrimony actually was, but it’s safe to say it doesn’t handle any of what it attempts well.

In a nutshell, Melinda (Taraji P. Henson) is short tempered and bad at making decisions or being assertive, and she falls in love with Robert (Lyriq Bent) who is a genius engineer but has bad luck, bad business skills, and is super selfish. Their romance and marriage is tumultuous and toxic from second one, and neither character is likable. Nor are any of the supporting characters. I also don’t think Tyler Perry knows much about how the legal system, real estate, technology, or the human body works. Did I mention this movie sort-of has a sci-fi subplot? It’s real dumb! Stay tuned.

MoviePass, a subscription-based movie ticketing service, shouldn’t be a hard sell at $9.95 per month. The company, however, touts a rollercoaster track record that often puts it at odds with its moviegoing consumer base.

(Image Source)

CEO Mitch Lowe most recently commented at the Entertainment Finance Forum on March 2 in Hollywood, during a panel titled “Data is the New Oil: How Will MoviePass Monetize It?”, “[W]e get an enormous amount of information. Since we mail you the card, we know your home address…we know the makeup of that household, the kids, the age groups, the income. It’s all based on where you live. It’s not that we ask that. You can extrapolate that… Then, because you are being tracked in your GPS by the phone…we watch how you drive from home to the movies. We watch where you go afterwards, and so we know the movies you watch. We know all about you. We don’t sell that data. What we do is use that data to market film.”

*Insert 1984 reference Here*

I can think of a smorgasbord of companies with similar mission statements, but cognitive dissonance compels me to rabble against this one!

Lowe has since walked back these comments (kinda), claiming he misspoke and that MoviePass will be more respectful to the user information being mined from customers like black gold.

“We don’t intend to sell data. We will only use the data we collect to make our user experience more relevant.”

As someone who, back in the day, coughed up $60 monthly to use MoviePass's service (yeah, I know; I’m not proud of my 2012-2013 life choices), $9.95 still sounds like a steal. It doesn’t help that, in 2018 alone, the subscription price for MoviePass has fluctuated anywhere between $6.95 to $10, but with still relatively reasonable prices, especially when compared to the average movie ticket price, it’s easy to forgive Lowe’s brow-raising comments and the nature of the company’s data collection scheme.

As a customer, who doesn’t want the convenience of an interface that reflects their movie viewing preferences? What it comes down to is how much personal information you, the consumer, will willingly give up in exchange for the service.

“Our vision is that we’ll know all the merchants around the theatre where you said you’re going to go,” Lowe said. “We can send you pop ups or push notifications saying, ‘hey there’s a Chipotle next door, use your MoviePass credit card and get your chips for free or go to the Starbucks across the street and get a dollar off your coffee.’ Our intent is really to know where you’re going to go and know when the movie is going to start, so we can give you relevant recommendations.”

And that’s really, really creepy (and annoying).

Furthermore, nothing’s free. MoviePass must answer to a higher power, and that higher power is money. Cold, hard, fed notes (and digital equivalents). It will continue to collect information on its clients in order to justify the low cost of $9.95-a month. The company might have jettisoned some of its data collection capabilities since Lowe’s initial statement but MoviePass remains a location-based service with the intent of selling you on nonsense from the nonsense store across the street from the movie theater.

Additionally, here’s what they’re not telling you…With the data collected, they won’t need to “push” Chipotle or Starbucks because user data and offering insight on consumer habits are two different commodities. There’s really nothing stopping this company (or any other company, for that manner) from selling their “expertise”.

As with any product, it’s equally up to the consumer to know what they’re getting into and MoviePass has been relatively forthcoming with its practices. I personally take more issue with the company’s illogical use of bundle deals that cause the subscription price to temporarily skyrocket or force new subscribers into purchasing something they don’t want, MoviePass’s team up with iHeartRadio being its most recent blunder for me.

“The agreement we make with our customers is in exchange for giving you a deal that many think is too good to be true, we need to know which movie you’re going to and when,” said Lowe. “That’s the trade off. If you don’t want to do that, you shouldn’t become a subscriber.”

Par for the course.

I was so hyped for this. The trailer looked fantastic, and I'm a sucker for anthology horror. Even if the quality of the shorts was uneven, I enjoyed the original V/H/S's use of a frame story.

This movie’s frame story sounded even better - a guy whose whole career is debunking the supernatural is confronted by a former fellow debunker with three unexplainable cases that he challenges him to debunk.

Unfortunately the movie takes that great premise and does essentially nothing with it. The three stories go nowhere and the frame story ends up a waste of time. There's some cool effects and the movie is full of solid performances and good cinematography, but it's not backed up by a worthwhile story.

I wasn't a huge fan of Jurassic World when it first came out, but I can tell you that I liked that fact that it ended with t-rex, a raptor, and a genetically modified dino fighting it out in an obvious homage to early Hollywood monster movies. Once that happened I knew that they were ditching the pseudo-science thread of the originals and basically going all out monster movie, and it let you frame the movie in a slightly better light.

Well, if the conclusion of the first film was a hint at the franchise's direction than the newest trailer for the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is basically shouting it. We're in full monster movie territory, folks. Giant sea creatures taking out helicopters? War mongering corporations designing super dinosaurs? The return of plucky dino sidekick Blue? All we need now is a giant monkey. We've left the behind the very basic attempts to be somewhat realistic of Jurassic Park, and we're in full commitment to something entirely different. This is Jurassic Park via Godzilla, not Michael Chrichton.

And I'm kind of all for it? Is that bad? This just looks like some crazy fun, and no I'm not just saying the because The Goldblum, hollowed be his name, is in it.With my expectations re-calibrated to giant monster movie, I'm actually looking forward to this.

Hey, compañeros, and welcome back to The 300, a recurring feature on my imprudent attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in the year 2018. I’ll be watching new releases, classics, hidden gems, and festival films to experience the wide world of cinema in all its forms. I hope there’s something here for you to enjoy and share as well.

As always, there are three rules for The 300:

The movie must be at least 40 minutes long, meeting the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ definition of a feature film.

I must watch the movie at a movie theater, screening room, or outdoor screening venue.

While I can watch movies I’ve seen before 2018, I cannot count repeated viewings of the same film in 2018 multiple times.

You guys, I have hit 100 movies.

It’s a testament to the incredible film programming in New York City that I saw a lot of stuff in theaters and yet missed out on so much more. If it wasn’t for MoviePass, independent cinemas, and excellent repertory programming, I wouldn’t have hit triple digits at this rate. Here’s a shoutout to my go-to theaters. Thanks for being awesome.

Metrograph - 26 films

Quad Cinema - 13 films

BAM Rose Cinemas - 13 films

The Film Society of Lincoln Center - 10 films

IFC Center - 5 films

Angelika Film Center - 5 films

The next two installments of The 300 will be dedicated to coverage of the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival, which kicks off tonight and runs through April 29th. Jesse Lab and I will be reviewing many of the films screening at the 17th year of the fest. Be sure to visit Flixist for the next three weeks for all of our Tribeca Film Festival coverage.

And so, onward.

Movie franchises are a hot commodity right now, if you've got one you don't just let it go, so you might be surprised to learn that Revolution Studios has given up the rights to xXx, better known as Vin Diesel: Extreme Sports Guy, to Vin Diesel/One Race Films and H Collective. Of course, then you'll think about it and realize that Xander Cage, the titular xXx, isn't actually a franchise at all, but instead a series of movies that no one wanted. Now, it's pretty easy to understand why Revolution gave it up.

Well, give it up is a bit of an exaggeration. I'm sure they made all involved pay money, but now that Diesel owns the character he is confirming that xXx 4 is a thing and  D.J. Caruso will return to direct along with Diesel starring. Damn you, China!

See China is to blame for more xXx. Didn't we kill off this out-of-date action hero by making sure that xXx: The Return of Xander Cage bombed at the box office? Yes, the US did, but not China. China made that movie a massive hit. H Collective was pretty much founded (this year) to make money in China, and evidently Xander Cage is kind of a big deal there. Thus, they'd want to pick up the franchise and move it forward for the international money.

Of course this isn't Diesel's first foray into procuring the rights to one of his characters to further a franchise. The actor traded a cameo in Fast and Furios: Tokyo Drift so he could get the rights to Riddick and make Riddick. That turned out OK, but that's also because Riddick is based on a cool concept, with an interesting character. Xander Cage on the other hand is based on street luge.

At this point, it's difficult to joke about how many DC movies Warner Bros. is green-lighting when there are so many damn movies they're green-lighting. But here we go again, this time with what looks like to be another Harley Quinn-related movie. Per Deadline, newcomer indie director Cathy Yan is set to direct a movie focusing on an "untitled girl gang movie."

Yan is coming out of a success from the most recent Sundance Film Festival, with her film Dead Pigs winning the World Cinema Dramatic Award For Ensemble Acting. The project is reportedly based on comic series Birds of Prey, which teams Harley Quinn with crime fighters such as Batgirl, Black Canary and Huntress—however, none of these characters are confirmed to appear in this planned film. Yan follows Patty Jenkins as DC Films's second female director, with a female screenwriter in Christina Hodson (the upcoming Bumblebee spin-off).

If this news is making you experience déjà vu, that is because mumbles for this project emerged around two years ago. And not only are we being graced with a Suicide Squad sequel, but there were talks of David Ayer making a Gotham City Sirens film with Robbie, in a premise that sounds similar to Yan's project. But wait, there's more! According to THR, the team behind Crazy Stupid Love is making a Harley Quinn and Joker movie starring Robbie and Jared Leto.

Prepare for that shrill call of "Mr. J!" to haunt your nightmares.

Nearly a year after the failed Fyre Festival experiment, Hulu has announced they will be releasing a docuseries surrounding the event and its continuing fallout. The promise of world renown acts combined with the beauty of the Exumas was highly promoted as The Next Big Thing in the music festival experience before it all went south all too quickly. The series will have in-depth interviews with attendees and inside sources in hopes of uncovering how and when the event went off the rails.

As a refresher, patrons paid thousands of dollars for what was supposed to be a luxury concert event with luxury accommodations and luxury food. What they got was tents, bread and cheese sandwiches, and no concert. It’s curious really, how someone like Ja Rule, with all his experience as a big-stage performer, allowed something attached so closely to his name to be such an utter disaster.

Organizing an event of that purposed magnitude is by no means a simple feat. Getting investors on board, obtaining the necessary permits, booking the acts, the vendors, the accommodations...it’s a massive undertaking. One that apparently no one chose to take charge. The focus was heavy on the promotion aspect with an attitude opposite of that of Field of Dreams. Instead of “build it and they will come,” McFarland and company chose the old adage “pay Kendall Jenner $250,000 to Instagram it, and we’ll build it later.”

The story was fascinating through its birth and immediate death, raising many questions that, when stripped down, asked the same thing: how did this happen? Over the past year, there hasn’t been much in the way of answers as Fyre Media faced a $100 million lawsuit while Rule’s partner, Billy McFarland, was indicted for wire fraud charges in relation to the collapsed event.

The docuseries is being developed by Billboard, Mic, and The Cinemart with a release slated for 2019.

Halfway through the season and no signs of ceasing its relentless grip on the throat of its audience. In a series that features toes being shorn from sailors without missing a beat, it's hard to expect any less.

Mad Max: Fury Road was a sort of revelation for me. I've never been much into action movies, but Fury Road looked cool and weird, and all the praise it received captured my interest. There have been more than enough pieces written about how Fury Road redefined action movies when it came out, so I won't go into tired detail on the subject, but I walked out of the theater feeling like Fury Road was a single point, a line. I was sure that we would be able to look at action movies as pre-and-post-Fury Road.

But we all have our most hyperbolic thoughts when we walk out of the theater, endorphins still kicking through our systems. Action movies have largely remained unchanged, and now it looks like we won't even get the planned sequels to Fury Road.

Where art meets business is usually a shitty, scum-streaked sort of place, with the current legal filings between Warner Bros and George Miller standing as another example of great art being ruined over money.

If you were some sort of charlatan psychic who predicted box office returns each weekend you would have gotten this weekend very wrong. Looking at the competition between Rampage, a Dwayne Johnson led disaster movie with giants monsters, and A Quiet Place, a movie that literally has the word quite in the title, you would have used your false psychic abilities to predict Rampage easily winning the weekend.

Well, it did, but not by much, which is great news for the horror film, and not so great news for the giant monster one. A Quiet Place continued to stun with one of the smallest drop offs of the year. Clearly the word of mouth on this one is giving it legs, and those legs could possibly bring it to around $200 million domestically, which is nothing but profit for the low-budget film. Meanwhile, Rampage only netted $34.5 million domestically. Not a flop, but on the lower end of Johnson's box office range. I don't think we'll be seeing a sequel even though the film should manage to make its money back with international returns.

More important (at least for Destructoid), Rampage has cleared the incredibly low bar of becoming the best reviewed video game movie ever... at 50 percent. Yup, you only have to please half the critics to get that medal, and you don't have to please them all that well.

Meanwhile, Blumhouse's Truth or Dare made $19 million, which is an easy profit for a film that cost $3.5 million so we're still int he worst timeline.

As we all know, wildlings are people that live north of the wall that the Rangers, or Black Brothers like to kill. Oh, this isn't Game of Thrones? I just thought what with the 7 year wait it must be. In that case ... What exactly is a wildling? I'm not sure. I'd thought it was a werewolf, but now... . Regardles, Wildling is a relatively original take on the transformative-mutational journey story. It's original enough that it deserves the courtesy of taking it at face value and face reaction: meaning, I don't want to think too hard about it because there's a danger it might all come to pieces without the shield of its strong first act. It's smart filmmaking and it's entertaining as hell, and that's probably all you need to know up front.

When it comes to horror movies, it's very hard to impress me. I'm not saying that I'm a horror movie snob, but at a certain point, horror just wasn't scary anymore. I wasn't being unsettled by a gruesome monster, or unnerved at a creepy hallway, or dreaded seeing a character walk into an obvious scare. I just became numb to what horror traditionally was.

I grew up watching horror movies like Nightmare on Elm Street, Evil Dead 2, and the classic Hammer horror films. Those movies defined what horror could be for me, but as I got older, I wasn't scared of them. Hell, I wasn't even disturbed by them. I just saw them as good movies with a dark aesthetic that was different from what was popular with my generation. While everyone else watched Disney movies, I was more interested watching Psycho. And let's not even get started at the state of then modern horror movies like The Blair Witch Project, The Ring, and Paranormal Activity.

But a weird thing happened this weekend when I went to go see A Quiet Place. It was a fantastic movie and a part of why it was so good was because it got under my skin in a way that I didn't expect. I wouldn't call it a scary movie, but it presented its concepts in a way that felt different and felt unique. And then I looked back at the past couple of years and realized that there are now plenty of horror movies that I would call modern classics. I can't even begin to count them all, there are just that many of them.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm happy to say that we're in a new golden age of horror movies. An age where creators are willing to take risks on classic horror norms to make something fresh, sometimes scary, but always entertaining.

People are pretty amped up for Incredibles 2, and its pretty easy to see why. Pixar almost never delivers a bad movie, and they seem pretty immune to sequalitis (the disease that makes most sequels worse than the first film). In fact aside from Cars 2 all their sequels have been pretty stellar so there's no reason to think this one is going to fall flat.

Judging from the trailer it looks fun at the very least. The secret magic of Pixar is the heart, though, and we don't really get a look at that here... yet. We might not ever in the trailers. It's not like Disney really needs to push that to get butts in seats so why would they. Leave the more complex emotional stuff for the theater where people can be surprised.

Just bring some tissues for when the entire family dies in the first Up-style ten minutes of the film.

Incredibles 2 opens on June 15, 2018.

I'm not sure if it was hubris or clarity that led Jason Blum, CEO of Blumhouse, to plaster the studio name before its new movie Blumhouse's Truth or Dare. There have been a plethora of other horror films within the past five years(!) with the same title so it could just be they wanted to tell us all that this one was the one from the people who brought us Get Out. Whatever the reason they should take it off as fast as possible.

Sure, Blumhouse is known for its quick and dirty horror production, that's pushed out a ton of hits ranging in quality from classics to crummy, but none of those crappy films had the studio's name boldly emblazoned in front of it. And Blumhouse's Truth or Dare might just be the crappiest of their crappy movies, but now every time someone writes about it the studios name will be tarnished.

When you're a child of four, you do everything with your brothers and sisters. You play together, you eat together, you even get haircuts together. And, if one of you is due for a dentist appointment, all of you are. There needs to be an order behind the madness.

I mention this because someone at my dentist office - I don't know who - set up an N64 in the waiting area for kids. There were only two games for it, Pokémon Snap and Rampage World Tour. 6-year-old me loved Rampage; the wholesale destruction of buildings, the murder of innocent civilians - it was perfect. At home, I could enjoy Banjo Kazooie but it was nothing like Rampage. Banjo collected puzzle pieces and Jinjos. George, Lizzie and Ralph ate people.

Little did I know that there would be a Rampage movie at some point. Little did anyone. I wonder what 6-year-old Drew would've thought of Rampage.

Well, I have the next best thing. I know what adult Drew thinks of Rampage. It's routine.

At this point, the saga between Netflix and the Cannes Film Festival feels like a relationship gone sour. The honeymoon phase has passed, and while the latter wants things to stay the same, the former wants to try something new and exciting. Cannes fired out an ultimatum, and now Netflix is refusing to bend.

After Cannes' artistic director Thierry Fremaux implemented a rule directly aimed at Netflix surrounding competition for the Palme d'Or, the streaming company has now decided that they won't show any films at Cannes, competition or otherwise. In an interview with Variety, content officer Ted Sarandos explained that the message has been received loud and clear, and it no longer makes sense for Netflix to attend the festival:

“We want our films to be on fair ground with every other filmmaker. There’s a risk in us going in this way and having our films and filmmakers treated disrespectfully at the festival. They’ve set the tone. I don’t think it would be good for us to be there.”

The rule in question requires Palme d'Or participants to release their films theatrically in France, which Netflix was initially open to. The issue is that films released in this fashion in France cannot appear on SVoD (Subscription Video on Demand) for 36 months after its release for French subscribers. For comparison's sake, the timeline for both physical and paid Video on Demand is four months, pay TV is 10 months, and free TV is available after 22 months. This does not coincide with the Netflix model.

The current stalemate is prime evidence of the modernization of the movie watching experience versus the old guard remonstrating "the right way" to experience a film. Sarandos touches on this topic in his closing remarks while also speculating a possible change to the rule in the future. And, as with any good breakup, fires a shot back at the festival and punctuates his point with two words that mean so much more:

"We hope that they do change the rules. We hope that they modernize. But we will continue to support all films and all filmmakers. We encourage Cannes to rejoin the world cinema community and welcome them back. Thierry had said in his comments when he announced his change that the history of the Internet and the history of Cannes are two different things. Of course they are two different things. But we are choosing to be about the future of cinema. If Cannes is choosing to be stuck in the history of cinema, that’s fine."

Netflix has renewed Jessica Jones for a third season only a month after the release of the second. Yes, that's right. Everyone's favorite PI/vigilante/alcoholic will be back for more in the near future.

Jessica Jones Season 2 released last month to a warm critical reception, and while it didn't receive as high of praise as the first season (according to IMDb,) it's still one of the highest rated Marvel series on Netflix.

There's no scheduled release date at this time, but we can assume that it's going to take a couple of years before the new season is available for streaming.

However, this news comes at an odd time. Disney, Marvel's parent company, is gearing up to launch its own streaming service, and you can only wonder if Disney has given any thought to the place Jessica Jones and the rest of the Defenders hold in Netflix's library. There's sure to be news on this in the future, but for now at least, Jessica Jones' home is still on Netflix.

I've come to like Jessica Jones and Daredevil a lot, despite not being a huge comic book fan. Jessica Jones in particular delivers a satisfying - sometimes heartbreaking - narrative that doesn't pull its punches. Let's hope Season 3 won't be a stranger for too long.

A Quite Place has made John Krasinski into a hot-as-hell director now thanks to its massive box office, and the fact that it was, you know, actually directed really well. And so his next project is pretty hotly anticipated. THR is reporting that that project will be a film called Life on Mars, which is adapted from a short story called We Have Always Lived on Mars.

The story, which was found by Krasinski and brought to production company Platinum Dunes, focuses on a young woman who is part of a group of descendants of a martian colony that was abandoned by earth after a great catastrophe. She one day discovers she can breathe the air on Mars, sewing major implications for the entire colony.

It sounds like some high-minded science fiction that could deliver in spades if Krasinski can bring the same care and attention to it that he did A Quiet Place. Evidently Paramount is already in talks to snap up the rights.

There's something about the "people who have absolutely no business committing a crime try to commit it anyway" flavor of dark comedy that makes it one I can never get enough of, and with how stellar last year's I, Tonya was, I'm certainly hankering for more.

American Animals looks like it's going to fill that hole in my stomach. With all of its "This isn't based on a true story. It actually happened" fluff aside, the style and tone look like they'll strike for something that should be at turns thrilling and fun to watch.

Why hello there, chum, and welcome back to The 300, a recurring feature on my stupid attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in the year 2018. I’ll be watching new releases, classics, hidden gems, and festival films to experience the wide world of cinema in all its forms. I hope there’s something here for you to enjoy and share as well.

As always, there are three rules for The 300:

The movie must be at least 40 minutes long, meeting the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ definition of a feature film.

I must watch the movie at a movie theater, screening room, or outdoor screening venue.

While I can watch movies I’ve seen before 2018, I cannot count repeated viewings of the same film in 2018 multiple times.

Lynne Ramsay’s You Were Never Really Here opened last week, and I was able to catch all of the Scottish director’s feature films in consecutive days starting with We Need to Talk About Kevin (The 300 Week 13). Seeing multiple movies by a filmmaker in close proximity calls attention to recurring motifs. I noticed a preoccupation with class and its limitations in her first two films, gold name necklaces and makeshift funerals in two movies, the intimacies of bath time and bathing, plenty of watery imagery, a knack for depicting unease, and also a skill with carefully deployed needle drops. Ramsay’s such an idiosyncratic auteur with unmatched storytelling technique. I hope she gets to make movies more frequently now that there is additional attention on her work.

This week, I continue watching multiple films by the same filmmaker in close succession, this time the Argentinian director Lucrecia Martel, whose beguiling Zama was my favorite movie I saw in 2017. So long as the retrospective screenings do not sell out, I should be able to see all of her feature films. Keep in mind that An Elephant Sitting Still (the four-hour Chinese art movie I wanted to see last Sunday) sold out two separate screenings, so you never can tell what fortune will bring when it comes to NYC cineastes.

I’m so close to triple digits now I can taste it. This could also be the cinnamon in my oatmeal or the first signs of gingivitis. My goal is to hit the big 100 before the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival, which starts next week. As noted before, Jesse Lab and I will be catching many films at the fest, so check back here for our coverage.

And so, onward.

As a kid, I always enjoyed learning facts about prehistoric animals. Things like the length of a Brontosaurus (70 feet), how fast a raptor could run (40 mph), or the number of teeth a T-Rex had (50). It felt good to have that knowledge packed away if I ever found myself in a real-world Jurassic Park. In the realm of underwater prehistoric creatures, the Megalodon is one of myths and legends. The biggest shark that's ever wandered the great blue yonder sized in at nearly 60 feet, twice the size of a Great White. Remember Jaws? The Megalodon swats it away with the flick of a fin.

With the summer movie buzz kicking into gear, there's no better time like the present to give the Megalodon some quality screen time. In the newly released trailer for the film, we get a few good looks at the Meg as it attacks Jason Statham's underwater habitat before finding its way to a beach overcrowded with people. Not only that, but there's a giant squid thrown in for good measure.

Check out the trailer above, and catch The Meg when it hits theaters on August 10th.

Interesting episode title, isn't it? What exactly do they mean by punished as a boy? I'd have had no idea either--in fact, when the line of dialogue it derives from is uttered, I didn't. Yet, punishing a man, as a boy, onboard a British Royal Navy vessel frozen in ice for over a year in the arctic sea, is really the heart of this episode. It is brutal. While the men onscreen certainly flinch, the filmmaking (yes, I'm calling it filmmaking) does not. You've probably seen some realistic violence in the film and television realms, and in terms of lashings, I know that The Passion of the Christ is ranked highly, but this portrayal of military justice in life or death dire straights, was hard to watch. It's precisely why this series continues to (bad pun warning) break ice and remain so highly watchable.

Studios are learning a pretty good lesson recently: if you make good horror movies people will show up. The obvious proof of this is IT, but backing that thesis up is this weekend's $50 million for the stellar A Quiet Place. That's the best Friday-Sunday opening for any movie this year not called Black Panther, including the likes of Ready Player One. Not too shabby for a movie that cost only $17 million to make.

The Flixist staff was actually just discussing the fact that we're in a bit of a horror renaissance at the moment. In the past few years filmmakers of all kinds are tackling the genre, and bringing new and exciting things to it after what felt like a decade of stagnation. It's a good time to get scared at the movies, that's for sure.

Lets also point out that Blockers had a really solid box office as well, coming in third over the weekend. The film is far funnier than you'd think for a movie starring John Cena and involving what seems like a terrible out-of-date premise (hint: it doesn't play out like you think). If you're looking for a comedy at some point you can do far, far, far worse.

Of all the Star Wars movies ever (even the prequels), I think my excitement level has been least for Solo: A Star Wars Story. Amid the directing controversy, acting controversy, and general question of why it is even a thing, it's been challenging to get hyped up for this one at all. So when I say that this new trailer for the movie, which finally shows off a bit more than teases of Han Solo and Chewie, isn't crappy, that actually means a lot.

Look, I'm still not convinced this will be good, but I love westerns, and I love train heists and this is very clearly a movie that is both of those things, but with lasers. Science Fiction and westerns have a long and fantastic history together, and Ron Howard isn't a bad director so... maybe this will be fun. Maybe?

Maybe not. I'm still not behind Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo at all. Man, does he look like a guy desperately trying to do a Harrison Ford impersonation. Considering the fact that a lot of this movie is going to rest on his performance my small sliver of enthusiasm looks to be crushed pretty quickly.

Solo: A Star Wars Story hits theaters May 25, 2018.

One night in 1993 Lorena Bobbitt's husband came home, raped her, then went to sleep. In the ultimate act of defiant revenge, Lorena grabbed a knife and--while he was still asleep--cut off his manhood. As if that wasn't enough, she got in her car, drove away, and threw the appendage out the window into a field. Hell hath no fury.

It's a strange story that seems more likely to take place in a grotesque horror film, but this truly happened. In the ensuing trial, details of their volatile relationship came to light, but in the end John Wayne Bobbitt was acquitted while Lorena was found not guilty on claims of insanity.

Still cooling off from his hot Oscar season, Get Out director Jordan Peele has signed on to executive produce Bobbitt, a documentary series for Amazon. The doc is expected to focus more on Lorena's story and shed new light on her tale of the events. Peele had this to say:

"When we hear the name ‘Bobbitt’ we think of one of the most sensational incidents to ever be catapulted into a full blown media spectacle. With this project, Lorena has a platform to tell her truth as well as engage in a critical conversation about gender dynamics, abuse, and her demand for justice. This is Lorena’s story and we’re honored to help her tell it."

The series is slated for four episodes to be directed by Joshua Rofé.

It’s obvious. Dwayne Johnson (top billing) and Vin Diesel are going to fight. For money. And I’m going to tell you why. In a recent Rolling Stone cover story Johnson explained that there’s beef between him and Diesel by not explaining a damn thing. He admitted that the two didn’t film any scenes together in Fate of the Furious primarily because the tanktop nipple showdown between he and Diesel got too intense. Johnson also threw shade at whether or not he will return to the main Fast series, iterating that he’s focused on making the best possible spinoff with Jason Statham, a real actor.

The Purge series is, for me, one that gets continually better. The first squandered the premise as a by-the-numbers home invasion film. The second took the series to the streets and opened it wide up for future installments. And the third, Election Year was a gonzo blast of color, costuming, and comic book violence all wrapped in the most on-the-nose political satire you'd find outside of the actual White House. It just oozed this great patriotic anarchy feeling that I admired.

Now, for a series that has leaped strength-to-strength with each installment, deciding to roll back to a prequel looked like a good idea. People would be less prepared. No one would know what to expect. There could be true chaos across the country. That could be fun to watch.

Unfortunately, the official trailer shows little of that.

Did you read our review for You Were Never Really Here and think, "Man, I want to see that movie." Well, you're in luck. We've got some passes to the film that can let you see it. It's full of good acting and death via hammer, which are two things that can be fun to watch on a movie screen.

If you want the passes just click the link below and they're yours. We keep it simple. Show up early and make sure you get a seat.

This is a hard movie to review. It isn’t ‘good’, but I loved it. If you’re a fan of The Room, it retains that film’s oddball charm without it feeling forced. It barely makes sense and its slow pacing makes me wonder why they decided to split it into 2 volumes instead of editing it better, but my guess is 2 movies means double the blu-ray sales and double the midnight screenings they’ll be able to put on later.

Almost all of the fun is from not knowing what to expect, so this review will be sparse, and I don't recommend reading much about the plot if you want all if it's weirdness to properly wash over you. It's very odd and still in true Wiseau/Sestero form.

After languishing around for almost a decade, the popular comic Y: The Last Man might finally be getting the adaptation that has eluded it for years. On Thursday FX placed an order for a pilot based off of the popular comic by Brian K. Vaughn and Pie Guerra. The showrunners were announced to be Michael Green ("Blade Runner 2049", "American Gods", and "Logan") and Aida Mashaka ("Luke Cage", and "Turn") with Vaughn and Melina Matsoukas ("Master of None") directing the pilot.

For the entire night after I saw A Quiet Place I thought every sound was too loud. I put something down and the noise it made stood out to me. Each footstep seemed to fall heavier than it should have. Opening a door was a creaking disaster in staying silent. I know I wasn't the only one feeling this either. I've never left a movie theater with the crowd whispering like they might be killed if they spoke any louder.

A Quiet Place is the best kind of horror. The kind that sticks with you past the jump scare. That makes you think beyond the blood. The kind that builds tension over horror, and then delivers both perfectly.

It may also convince you to never have children.

Johnny English puzzles me. This series of movies pokes fun at the spy-genre, but even in the original film, the humor fell flat with lazy comedy. The Johnny English series continues to confuse me, as today, the next installment in the series, Johnny English Strikes Again, has a new trailer out.

We're treated to the return of Rowan Atkinson as the titular Johnny English, a now retired spy who's taken up teaching in primary school. Unfortunately, a devastating cyber attack has exposed the identities of every undercover agent in Britain, leaving Mr. Bean Johnny English as the sole operator to find and stop a mysterious, malevolent hacker.

I was hoping this trailer would be interesting or humorous on some level, but again, this film seems to be taking the easy route, with a surface level parody of the spy genre, as well as modern technology. Johnny English is awkward and clumsy, that's not how a spy should be! Virtual Reality looks silly, and Johnny English acts silly with it on! This is as deep as the humor goes, people.

Credit where credit is due however, the last joke in the trailer was good. English tries to escape a lone captor by shoving off the side of a luxury yacht, and falls instead onto the deck below him. Good old physical humor always has its place. I just hope the movie is better than the rest of the trailer.

Johnny English Strikes Again is coming to theaters in 2018.

Marvel seems to be on a roll with its cinematic universe. Oh sure, it was always a massively popular franchise that raked in billions, but 2018 is a special year for Marvel. Not only did they have the release of Black Panther, which has become the highest grossing superhero movie domestically of all time, but they're gearing up to release Avengers: Infinity War in a little less than a month. Infinity War is meant to be a massive celebration of the MCU and a culmination of everything that has come before it. To steal a phrase from DC, worlds will live, worlds will die, and nothing will ever be the same.

But here's the funny thing; I'm a bit cautious about Infinity War. Not because of the fact that I don't think it can meet our lofty expectations. So far, everything shown in the trailer has led me to believe that it's going to be grand, impressive, and action-packed. My biggest fear is that it's a sign of the beginning of the end of the MCU and that the MCU is finally going to collapse under its own weight.

Listen up children, because the ladies are trying to steal your toys again. They're always forcing their way into our treehouse, despite clear signage that girls are not allowed. Before we know it, these cootie-infested invaders will steal everything we hold sacred. Who taught girls how to climb trees, anyway?

In a recent interview, Spielberg revealed that to make a female Indiana work, he would have to change the name to Indiana Joan. Then, he went on to add, "And there would be nothing wrong with that."

Đây cũng là nơi tập trung của hơn 130 nhà băng quốc tế, trở thành trung tâm tài chính quan trọng nhất của Châu Á. Singapore cũng liên tục được bình chọn là một trong những quốc gia có chất lượng sống cao nhất trên thế giới
- Mã quốc gia: 65

Quốc kỳ:
Quốc kỳ của Singapore gồm 2 phần: nửa ở trên màu đỏ và nửa dưới màu trắng. Ngoài ra, ở nửa trên còn có thêm hình trăng lưỡi liềm và 5 ngôi sao. Mỗi một màu, một hình ảnh đều có ý nghĩa riêng của nó. Màu đỏ trên lá cờ Singapore tượng trưng cho mối tình anh em giữa người với người, giữa các dân tộc trên thế giới và sự bình đẳng của con người.
Màu trắng là biểu tượng của sự trong sạch và tinh khôi vĩnh viễn, không nhơ bẩn. Trăng lưỡi liềm có nghĩa biểu trưng cho 1 quốc gia trẻ còn đang trên đường phát triển. Năm ngôi sao nhỏ gần mặt trăng tượng trưng cho năm lý tưởng của quốc gia Singapore: dân chủ, sự bình đẳng, hòa bình, phát triển và công lý.
Kinh tế:
· GDP bình quân đầu người: USD$ 55,000 năm 2016
· Ngành công nghiệp chính: Sản xuất (đặc biệt là điện tử, kỹ thuật, khoa học y sinh và hóa chất), dịch vụ tài chính và dịch vụ kinh doanh và thương mại.
Singapore hầu như không có tài nguyên, nguyên liệu đều phải nhập từ bên ngoài. Singapore chỉ có ít than, chì, nham thạch, đất sét; không có nước ngọt; đất canh tác hẹp, chủ yếu để trồng cao su, dừa, rau và cây ăn quả, do vậy nông nghiệp không phát triển, hàng năm phải nhập lương thực, thực phẩm để đáp ứng nhu cầu ở trong nước.
Singapore có cơ sở hạ tầng và một số ngành công nghiệp phát triển cao hàng đầu châu Á và thế giới như: cảng biển, công nghiệp đóng và sửa chữa tàu, công nghiệp lọc dầu, chế biến và lắp ráp máy móc tinh vi. Singapore có 12 khu vực công nghiệp lớn, trong đó lớn nhất là Khu công nghiệp Jurong. Singapore là nước hàng đầu về sản xuất ổ đĩa máy tính điện tử và hàng bán dẫn. Singapore còn là trung tâm lọc dầu và vận chuyển quá cảnh hàng đầu ở châu Á. Nền kinh tế Singapore chủ yếu dựa vào buôn bán và dịch vụ (chiếm 40% thu nhập quốc dân).
Nền kinh tế Singapore chủ yếu dựa vào buôn bán và dịch vụ (chiếm 40% thu nhập quốc dân). Kinh tế Singapore từ cuối những năm 1980 đạt tốc độ tăng trưởng vào loại cao nhất thế giới: 1994 đạt 10%, 1995 là 8,9%.
Singapore cũng được coi là nước đi đầu trong việc chuyển đổi sang nền kinh tế tri thức. Singapore đang thực hiện kế hoạch đến năm 2018 sẽ biến Singapore thành một thành phố hàng đầu thế giới, một đầu mối của mạng lưới mới trong nền kinh tế toàn cầu và châu Á và một nền kinh tế đa dạng nhạy cảm kinh doanh.
Giao thông:
Hệ thống giao thông công cộng ở Singapore rất phát triển. Chất lượng đường bộ của đảo quốc này được đánh giá là vào loại tốt nhất thế giới. Giao thông tại Singapore được vận hành theo mô hình của Anh, trái với giao thông tay phải của châu Âu lục địa.
Singapore có nhiều loại phương tiện giao thông công cộng, trong đó hai phương tiện phổ biến nhất là xe buýt (hơn 3 triệu lượt người mỗi ngày, năm 2010) và tàu điện ngầm mà người Singapore thường gọi là MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), hơn 2 triệu lượt người mỗi ngày, năm 2010).
Người đi xe buýt trả tiền mua vé cho từng chặng, ngoại trừ trường hợp họ có thẻ từ tự động EZlink (thẻ này cho phép họ sử dụng dịch vụ của xe buýt giá rẻ và trong một thời gian dài). Hệ thống tàu điện ngầm của Singapore có 102 ga (2017) với chiều dài 170,7km và có giờ làm việc từ 06:00 tới 24:00. Taxi cũng là một phương tiện giao thông khá phổ biến ở Singapore nhưng khá khó bắt và đắt trong giờ cao điểm.
Do Singapore có diện tích rất hẹp nên chính quyền Singapore thường có những biện pháp đặc biệt để tránh tình trạng nghẽn xe, tắc đường. Hệ thống thuế giờ cao điểm ERP (Electronics Road Pricing) được đưa vào hoạt động trong khu vực trung tâm thành phố để giảm lưu lượng xe lưu thông qua các khu vực này vào giờ cao điểm. Số tiền này được trừ thẳng vào thẻ EZLink cài trên xe hơi. ERP có thể lên đến SGD15 nếu 1 chiếc xe chạy qua 5 trạm ERP trong khu vực nội thành.
Singapore cũng có phương tiện giao thông đường thủy phổ biến là thuyền máy nhỏ, tuy nhiên đa số chúng chỉ được dùng cho mục đích du lịch. Các du khách tới Singapore có thể tham quan thành phố bằng đường thủy trên sông Singapore trong những tour kéo dài khoảng 20-40 phút.
Dân cư:
- Dân số: 5,5 triệu (Năm 2016)
- Tuổi trung bình của người Singapore là 73 .
- Khoảng 30% dân số là người nước ngoài, đây là tỉ lệ cao thứ sáu trên thế giới. Chính quyền mời gọi người làm việc ngoại quốc, mặc dù điều này đồng nghĩa với việc họ sẽ giữ một vai trò quan trọng trong nền kinh tế quốc gia. Lao động nước ngoài chiếm đến 80% trong ngành công nghiệp xây dựng và 50% trong công nghiệp dịch vụ.
Tôn giáo:
Singapore là một quốc gia đa tôn giáo, theo thống kê khoảng 55% dân số Singapore theo Phật giáo và Đạo giáo, 15% dân số (chủ yếu là người Hoa, người gốc Âu và người Ân Độ) là tín đồ Đạo Cơ-đốc. Hồi giáo chiếm khoảng 14% dân số, chủ yếu tồn tại trong các cộng đồng người Mã Lai, người Ấn Độ theo Hồi giáo, và người Hồi (người Hoa theo Hồi giáo). Có khoảng 15% dân số Singapore tuyên bố họ không có tôn giáo, các tôn giáo khác không đáng kể.
Xã hội Singapore là một xã hội đa sắc tộc gồm nhiều nền văn hóa khác nhau như Trung Quốc, Ấn Độ, Mã Lai...
Ẩm thực:
Mặc dù có diện tích nhưng Singapore luôn mang đến cho bạn những món ăn đầy màu sắc và những địa điểm ăn uống hấp dẫn. Dù bạn đang tìm nhà hàng cao cấp hay các trung tâm ẩm thực ngoài trời với thực đơn phong phú, chắc chắn bạn sẽ tìm được một quán ăn ở mọi ngóc ngách của thành phố.
Hằng năm Singapore cũng đăng cai 2 lễ hội ẩm thực đáng chú ý là World Gourmet Summit, tổ chức vào tháng 4 và Lễ hội Ẩm thực Singapore (Singapore Food Fesival), tổ chức vào tháng 7.
Với di sản đa văn hóa phong phú, Singapore là điểm hội tụ của nhiều hương vị ẩm thực. Bạn có thể nhận ra nét đa dạng của văn hóa Singapore thể hiện trong vô số các món ăn mang phong vị dân tộc từ Trung Hoa, Mã Lai, đến Ấn Độ, Peranakan và rất nhiều nơi khác.
Mua sắm:
Mua sắm tại Singapore đem lại cảm giác thú vị vì tại đây bạn có thể tìm thấy hầu hết những gì mình cần, dù ở các khu mua sắm riêng biệt.
Từ Giáng Sinh năm trước đến Tết Âm lịch năm sau, tất cả các khu mua sắm tại Singapore đều treo biển Sale - Giảm giá. Đây là thời gian bán hàng giảm giá lớn thứ hai trong năm sau thời điểm tháng 6 và 7. Có nơi giảm đến 70%.
Du học Mỹ từ lâu đã trở thành lựa chọn hàng đầu của sinh viên Quốc tế nói chung và Việt Nam nói riêng bởi các chương trình Giáo dục tiên tiến bậc nhất thế giới.

**Web hosting là gì? hầu hết những vấn đề liên quan đến hosting sẽ được Gamebachthang.com nêu ra 1 cách khái quát nhất ở bài viết này. **
** Web hosting là gì?** ** Web hosting là **1 không gian trên máy chủ mà ở đó có cài đặt internet như WWW( world wide web),mail , truyền file(fpt)…. Các bạn có thể chứa nội dung, dữ liệu trên không gian của ** Web** **hosting**. Đồng thời ** Web hosting **cũng là nơi diễn ra toàn bộ các hoạt động giao dịch, trao đổi tin giữa người sử dụng internet và website cùng với đó hỗ trợ các phần mềm internet hoạt động.
Có thể thuê
** Web hosting **của bất cứ nhà cung cấp dịch vụ (Isp) có dung lượng phù hợp với dung lượng web. Với bất kể hình thức nào thì bạn cũng nên biết đôi chút về ** Web hosting **và máy chủ web.
## Lý do bạn phải thuê hosting là gì?
Bạn cần thuê
** Web hosting **để chứa nội dung trang web cũng như dịch vụ mail và FTP, vì những máy tính sẽ luôn có 1 địa chỉ IP cố định. Những máy tính này có điểm khác với máy tính của bạn bạn ở chỗ nếu như bạn truy cập vào mạng internet như bình thường thông qua IPS (nhà cung cấp dịch vụ internet) thì địa chỉ IP máy tính của bạn sẽ luôn bị thay đổi. Chính vì vậy trang web của bạn được người dùng biết đến cần phải có ** Web hosting **để chứa dữ liệu thông tin website- và đảm bảo được người truy cập vào được website của bạn bằng bất cứ máy tính nào.
## Những yêu cầu và tính năng cần thiết của
** Web hosting.**
- Phải kể đến đầu tiên là tốc độ: máy chủ
**Web hosting**phải có cấu hình đủ lớn đảm bảo xử lý thông suốt, phục vụ được số lượng người truy cập. phải đảm bảo được đường truyền kết nối tránh nghẽn mạch dữ liệu.
- Phải được người quản trị thường xuyên chăm sóc tránh tình trạng gặp rủi ro về bảo mật và kỹ thuật.
- Phải có dung lượng đủ lớn (tính theo Mbytes) thì
**Web hosting**mới có thể lưu được các dữ liệu thông tin, ảnh, video…. của website.
- Có băng thông(bandwidth) đủ lớn để phục vụ được các giao dịch, trao đổi thông tin của web.
- Phải có hỗ trợ máy chủ truy và xuất bằng cách thức FTP để truy cập thông tin.
- Hỗ trợ được các ngôn ngữ lập trình cũng như CSDL để thực hiện trên các phần mềm trên internet hoặc có thể là các công cụ viết sẵn.
- Hỗ trợ đầy đủ toàn bộ các dịch vụ Email như POP3 Email, Email Forwarding, DNS…
- Giao diện dễ dàng quản lý web hosting từ đó việc quản lý website dễ dàng hơn
## Dung lượng của web hosting là gì?
Dung lượng của web hosting chính là khoảng không gian mà bạn được phép sử dụng lưu trữ dữ liệu của mình trên ổ cứng của máy chủ. Như đã nói ở đoạn trên, Việc bạn thuê 1 web hosting cũng giống như bạn thuê 1 phòng ở tòa nhà văn phòng vậy. Như vậy dung lượng hosting cũng giống như là diện tích của văn phòng bạn vậy.
## Vậy còn băng thông của Web hosting là gì?
Ở đây băng thông của web hosting chính là lượng dữ liệu trao đổi giữa người sử dụng với website của bạn trong 1 tháng, hoặc 1 năm. Ví dụ như bạn tải lên website của bạn 1 bức ảnh có kích thước là 1MB và có đến 50 khách hàng tải bức ảnh đó về thì bạn đã tiêu tốn tổng cộng là 50MB băng thông.
## Kết luận:
**Web hosting là **1 không gian trên máy chủ mà ở đó có cài đặt internet như WWW( world wide web),mail , truyền file(fpt)…. Các bạn có thể chứa nội dung, dữ liệu trên không gian của ** Web** **hosting.**
