The Thrilling Caves of the Rhodopes
An excursion designed for those who love adventure and the wilderness! With the help of experienced guides, explore the depths of three of the most famous caves in the Rhodope mountains – the wild Haramiiska pit cave, with its narrow corridors and the 43-meter descent via rope to the bottom of its largest chamber; the Devil's Throat cave, a place of legend; and Yagodina cave, with its distinctive mineral formations.
• Visit the Devil's Throat cave and see the inspiration behind several legends that have been passed down from ancient times
• Explore Yagodina cave, famous for its mineral "pearls"
• Go spelunking in the Haramiiska cave – an adventure that includes a 43-meter descend via rope to its largest chamber
The area of Trigrad is one of the most breathtaking in the Rhodope mountains, with several major natural landmarks and stunning scenery. This two-day trip invites you to explore three of its emblematic caves, one of which is a popular destination for the exciting sport of spelunking.
The first day is focused on enjoying the beauty of the less-extreme caves. Both are well lit and perfectly secured, and can be walked through with ease.
The Devil's Throat cave is one of the Trigrad Gorge's most notable features. It is 150 years old and home to a colony of over 35000 bats. According to a local legend, Orpheus entered the Underworld in search of his beloved Eurydice through this very cave. The devil's Throat's so called Rumbling Chamber is the second largest cave chamber in Bulgaria – it is large enough that the St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral can fit comfortably inside it. In this chamber is the tallest subterranean waterfall in the Balkans (60 m). The underground river goes into a syphon-tunnel, and where the water flows is yet unknown. At first glance, the river emerges from the depths of the mountain with ease, only 100 m from the entrance, but an experiment in which a large section of the river was dyed showed that it takes over 2 hours for the water to run its full course and come out through the other side. Judging by the speed of the flow and the time it took for it to reach the other side, the subterranean section of the river is 40 km long. The Devil's Throat truly lives up to its name, and it is considered one of the most mysterious places in the world.
Yagodina cave is 250 million years old, notable for its intricate stalactites, stalagmites, stalagnates and its so called "pearls" – lime beads formed out of the minerals contained within drops of water that fall on the small rocks paving the cave floor. Its beauty and romantic atmosphere make it a popular attraction for couples, and wedding ceremonies are often performed in one of its chambers. It is said that couples that get married in this cave never separate.
From there we'll take a drive to the Eagle Eye viewing platform located an hour and a half away from Yagodina cave. Breathtaking landscapes as far as the eye can see, a view of the Buynovsko gorge from above, the mountain Rila and Pirin in the distance, and even a glimpse of the mountains of Greece – this platform at the edge of a cliff is where you can feel what it's like to soar through the sky like an eagle.
The next day takes a sharp turn for the extreme.
The Haramiiska cave is completely wild, and the only lighting inside is the natural light that comes through the entrance and the exit. The excitement starts at the entrance, as it can only be reached by climbing a 20-meter-tall vertical cliff, followed by a steep section that leads to the entrance itself. This section is secured with a metal rope. Signs of life from the late Chalcolithic Age have been found in the Haramiiska cave, such as campfire remains, pottery and tools. Today, models depicting the life of the pre-historic people who left these findings have been arranged just inside the naturally-lit entrance of the cave. There are several smaller chambers, and the entrance to one of them is so tight it can only be crawled through. The main attraction is the 43-meter drop down to its largest chamber. You'll be descending via rope, with the aid of the instructors in charge of getting spelunkers safely to the other side.
Another spelunking adventure awaits in the Golubovitsa cave.
• For a group of 6 or more: 80 €
• For a group of 2-5: 100 €
• For a single person: 130 €
• Professional English-speaking tour guide
• Overnight at the Yagodina hotel on full board
• The cave entrance fees
Cave entrance fees
• Devil's Throat cave: 2 €
• Yagodina cave: 2.60 €
• Haramiiska cave: 16 € (including the services of experienced instructors to guide you through the cave, and spelunking gear)
Full length of the Haramiiska cave: 510 m. It takes 3-5 hours to traverse it.
It is only suitable for physically fit people in good health, and requires composure, bravery and a love for extreme sports. There is no artificial lighting in the cave. Spelunkers must bring their own lighting.
Spelunkers must cooperate with and trust the instructors for their own safety and the safety of the entire group.

Story Text:From the dragons of Westeros and the "Walking Dead" zombies to the deadly humanoid robots of "Westworld," the golden age of television is dominating the limelight at San Diego's annual Comic-Con.
Kicking off on Thursday (July 20), this year's four-day Comic-Con gathering of nerd and pop culture fans will see fewer films being marketed by movie studios, which are instead focusing more narrowly on projects that tie directly into the interests of the convention's fandom.
Meanwhile, numerous hit sci-fi television shows have garnered avid viewers and Emmy nominations, and can drum up buzz for upcoming seasons with an already engaged fanbase.
Drawing more than 100,000 attendees, Comic-Con has become an increasingly important tool for Hollywood to generate interest in upcoming projects.
Yet this year, only three major Hollywood film studios - Fox, Warner Bros and Disney - and newcomer Netflix will hold panels for upcoming movies, a vast difference from five years ago when movies dominated the buzz from the convention.
The fandom of Comic-Con attendees is what drove organizers in 2012 to give medieval fantasy "Game of Thrones," zombie drama "The Walking Dead" and nerd comedy "The Big Bang Theory" a coveted spot at Comic-Con's prestigious Hall H.
The 6,500-capacity hall is usually reserved for movie studios bringing in A-list talent, and fans often sleep outside overnight to gain access.

Présentation en anglais Dinner with a top French chef is an impossible offer to refuse ; the chance to follow one into his kitchen and to run away with his recipes is a food-lover's dream. Here, fourteen world-renowned chefs divulge the secrets of their favorite recipes-from roasted, stuffed partridge with chestnut polenta to sea-anemone fritters, and from crème brûlée with warm chocolate cake to pistachio macaroons. Insider biographies of the men and women behind these great dishes, mouth-watering portraits of the featured recipes, and candid photographs of the chefs at work allow us to savor the diverse regional flavors and passionate creativity that make French cooking the ultimate culinary benchmark. Mousseline of red peppers with herbs and deep-fried prawns, classic French fries with sea salt, peaches in caramelized pastry, and tangerine soufflé... Cooking in the hands of these French masters is truly an art form, a creative process that is as much about the personality of the chef, his passions, and regional influences, as his ingredients. The great French chefs here range from the exponent of traditional French home cooking to the avant-garde master, from the media celebrity to the Michelin-starred genius. Together they bring us the very best of fine French cooking, and indeed, a taste of France.


ONE FATALLY SCALDED AND TWENTY-THREE INJURED IN A PASSENGER WRECK ON M. K. & T.
Denison, Texas, May 12. -- Three persons were killed outright, one fatally scalded and twenty-three others injured in a passenger train wreck late last night on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad, near Bonita, Okla. The train was running at full speed when the wreck occurred, the place of wreck being the same where a freight train was wrecked yesterday. It is claimed that the wreck occurred from the failure of the crew to obey orders and run slow over the piece of track which was torn up yesterday.
Engineer FRAZIER and two brakemen were instantaly killed, and Fireman LAW was fatally scalded. Conductor LITTLEFIELD was also injured, as were also Express Messenger WILDER and Mail Clerk PALMER. A large number of passengers were also injured by being bruised and shaken up generally.

Check it out, Reel Sounds
Something Secretive, Whispery and Indecent
November 2, 2010 VirginieSelavy
Nowadays, perhaps the most recognisable element of the soundtrack to Jack Clayton's The Innocents (1961) is the haunting lullaby 'O Willow Waly', composed by Georges Auric and Paul Dehn, which is the film's very first sound – even before the appearance of the 20th Century Fox logo (some projectionists apparently took this for a mistake and re-cut the opening before showing it). To modern audiences, the song may be uncannily familiar: a sample of the girl Flora singing it in The Innocents is buried in the crackle and hum of the cursed tape in Gore Verbinski's US remake of The Ring. Watching Clayton's film again though, what really disturbs us, at the very moments when the film is at its most disturbing, are the eerie electronic noises that creep around the edges of Auric's lush impressionistic score. These noises, though unmentioned in the film's credits, were created by Daphne Oram.
Four years earlier, Oram had been the architect of the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop, the soundhouse that would one day create the out-of-this-world music for Dr Who, Blake 7, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy – not to mention countless science programmes, children's broadcasts and local radio jingles. Oram had wheeled vast old tape machines and battered old war surplus oscillators from studio to studio late at night to experiment on the sly while working by day at the BBC, before a long campaign of lobbying had finally granted her a little room at Maida Vale, a long-cherished dream of hers. There, she and Desmond Briscoe would use the tape manipulation techniques of musique concrète in radio dramas such as Samuel Beckett's All That Fall, and Giles Cooper's The Disagreeable Oyster, before a trip to the Brussels World Expo in 1958 convinced Oram to leave the BBC and set up her own studio, in Tower Folly, a converted oast house in Fairseat, Kent. It was there that, in between experimenting with her own Oramics drawn-sound composition system, she worked on the music for The Innocents, along with a number of other films, adverts, ballets and theatrical productions.
The image of a woman, dead for over a year, appears across a pond and we hear a rising tremolo of stacked sine tones, harmonised spectrally in just intonation; amid a babble of phantom voices, a door falls shut and the echo from its slamming noise swells into a dark cavernous drone. When we first hear the electronic sounds Oram created for this film, we are inclined to take them, much like those crafted by Delia Derbyshire for John Hough's The Legend of Hell House 12 years later, as the noise of the ghosts that haunt the old house in which it is set. It soon transpires, however, that Oram's special sounds are, on the contrary, the leitmotif of Miss Giddens's creeping insanity, the theme to a certain panicked look in her eye. If the audience spend much of the film unsure whether the 'monstrosities' we see are truly phantoms or phantasies, spectres or symptoms, the redoubtable Ms Oram is clearly under no such uncertainty.
If the electronic noises in The Innocents are the sound of encroaching madness, Oram has prior form. In the late 50s, the sound of a nervous breakdown was rather considered to be the Radiophonic Workshop's stock in trade. The first BBC production to use the word 'radiophonic' – Frederick Bradnum's 'Radiophonic Poem' entitled 'Private Dreams and Public Nightmares' produced by Oram along with Briscoe, Norman Bain and Donald McWhinnie – featured among its opening dialogue the ominous pronouncement, 'I fall through nothing, vast, empty spaces. Darkness and the pulse of my life, bound, intertwined with the pulse of the dark world'. Accompanied by a 'comet-like shriek' and a 'pulsating beat', the piece realistically evokes the inner monologue of a manic depressive. Oram once compared, in her only published book, An Individual Note, the descent into madness with a kind of psychic feedback loop, an overloading 'through having too high a playback volume'. It is in precisely this way, the echo of feedback overloading, swelling to the point of distortion, that she created many of the chilling sound effects for The Innocents.

Prince Wonnyeong (Hangul: 원녕태자, Hanja: 元寧太子; d. 976) or known as Lord Jinju (Hangul: 진주낭군, Hanja: 鎭州郞君) was a Korean Royal Prince as the only son of Taejo of Goryeo and Lady Sukmok.

Life
After 960 (11st year reign of his half younger brother, Gwangjong of Goryeo), Gwangjong carried out a large-scale purging of the family members in order to strengthen the Kingship. However, after Gwangjong died, his son, Gyeongjong of Goryeo took over the throne and the Goryeo Royal family members who had been purged during Gwangjong conducted revenge dramas under the leadership by those royal family members who disagree with these.

Prince Wonnyeong and his half brother, Prince Hyoseong was also murdered and killed around 976 (1st year reign of Gyeongjong). After his death, Gyeongjong become inflamed with the revenge method and sent the royal family line to return in November in the same year.

On the other hand, there was an opinion that the Prince and others provided considerable support for the purged of Gwangjong's family. During his lifetime, he also called as Lord Jinju (진주낭군, 鎭州郞君). Although his wife was not recorded, he had 1 son with her, Prince Hyodang (효당태자).

U.S. stocks lower amid E.Z. caution; Dow Jones down 0.38%
Nov. 14, 2011, 9:53 AM
Forexpros - U.S. stocks were lower on Monday, as Italian borrowing costs surged to record highs after a government bond auction, adding to concerns over the outlook in the euro zone.
During early U.S. trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.38%, the S&P 500 index dropped 0.72%, while the Nasdaq Composite index slipped 0.39%.
Italy's Treasury raised the maximum targeted amount of EUR3 billion at the sale, but yields on the five-year bonds rose to a euro-era high of 6.29%, up from
5.32% at a similar auction a month ago.
Over the weekend, Italy's President Giorgio Napolitano appointed former European Commissioner Mario Monti to head a new government as the country attempts to implement austerity measures while simultaneously shoring up economic growth.
U.S. lenders led losses, as shares in Goldman Sachs tumbled 1.46% and JP Morgan dropped 1.29%, while Bank of America and Citigroup declined 1.13% and 0.99% respectively.
Morgan Stanley saw shares slump 0.49% after the firm announced that its Asia private equity arm is in talks to buy a majority stake in Chinese packaging firm HCP Holdings Inc. The deal could reportedly value the company at about USD500 million.
In the retail sector, JC Penney saw shares slide 0.77% after posting a loss as same-store sales and gross margin shrank. The firm also expects same-store sales for the holiday quarter to be flat.
Meanwhile, energy stocks were broadly lower, tracking the downward trend in crude oil prices with shares in oil and gas company QEP resources plunging 6.59%, while Chevron and Exxon Mobil declined 0.40% and 0.14%.
On the upside, Caterpillar saw shares jump 1.69% after the heavy equipment maker said it will invest nearly USD640 million to increase capacity for large mining trucks and tractors at two facilities in the U.S. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs added the firm to its "conviction buy" list.
Lowe's also added to gains, with shares surging 2.47% after the home-improvement firm reported better-than-expected results and raised its full-year revenue outlook.
Elsewhere, IBM jumped 1.25% after billionaire investor Warren Buffett told CNBC that his firm, Berkshire Hathaway, has purchased USD10.7 billion worth of the tech giant's stock this year.
Other stocks in focus included Urban Outfitters, due to post third-quarter earnings after the closing bell.
Across the Atlantic, European stock markets were sharply lower. The EURO STOXX 50 plunged 2.08%, France's CAC 40 tumbled 1.82%, Germany's DAX plummeted 1.81%, while Britain's FTSE 100 posted a 0.88% decline.
During the Asian trading session, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index surged 2.3%, while Japan's Nikkei 225 Index climbed 1.05%.
Also Monday, official data showed that industrial output in the euro zone fell at the fastest pace in two-and-a-half years in September, underlining over the threat of an economic downturn in the single currency bloc.

Lottery scams can be quite easy to spot if you know what to look out for. Follow these simple steps and you should be able to identify whether a piece of correspondence is a scam or genuine:
Scammers will often state that there is a certain timeframe in which you need to contact them to collect your prize. This is to pressurise you and rush you into giving them your details before you seek any advice or properly think about the decision you are making.
If you are told you must keep your win confidential, this is another sign that something could be too good to be true. Scammers will do this to stop you from mentioning your win to someone else who might see that it isn't genuine.
Letters sent to you through the post or via email by scammers often have spelling mistakes and poor grammar. These can be a sign that English is not the first language of the senders; official communications would be unlikely to have these problems.

An additional game called the Joker can be played alongside Finland's Lotto. To play, choose seven numbers between 0 and 9. You can pick the same number more than once. On the night of a draw, a seven-digit Joker number is randomly generated, and you win prizes when you match the same digits in the same place.
For example, if the Joker number generated is 1291268, the number 1234567 would win because it matches three digits in the same place: 12***6*. The more numbers you match, the bigger the prize.
The cost of playing Joker is €2, and you can also play Double Joker for an extra €1. The Double Joker game is played in the same way, except that when the last digit of the Joker number is matched, any prizes you win are doubled.
Joker prizes are fixed amounts. The value of the jackpot is set by lottery providers Veikkaus before the draw and although it is usually set at €1 million (€2 million for Double Joker) it can change from draw to draw.
Below you can see the prizes available in Finland's Joker and the odds of winning in each tier.

Below are the ten biggest ever Vikinglotto winners across all participating countries:
Before the jackpot cap was introduced, two tickets — one from Norway and one from Denmark — split the biggest prize in the lottery's history. Both matched the six main Vikinglotto numbers as well as the international Lucky Number to win €22 million each. The Norwegian ticket, which was owned by a Cooperative Bank of ten players, also matched the Norwegian Lucky Number to win an additional 100 million kroner (€10 million). The Lucky Number pots were replaced by the Viking number in 2017.
In November 2017, a woman from Oslo won the second-biggest prize ever seen in Vikinglotto and the third-biggest lottery prize ever won in Norway. No one had won the jackpot since 14th June that year, so it had rolled over for nearly six months before it was won.
A Norwegian man was the sole winner of the third-biggest prize in the lottery's history, but he told officials at providers Norsk Tipping that he vowed to continue working despite the windfall.
A man from Troms in Norway matched all six main numbers, as well as the international Lucky Number pot and Norwegian Lucky Number pot. This jackpot would stand as the record amount won on a single ticket for nearly four and a half years.
Разыгрывается самый крупный Джекпот в МИРЕ! Стань очередным миллионером! →
A Cooperative Bank of ten Norwegian players split the top prize to take home over €2 million each. The winners were from all over the country, from Trondheim to Akershus, but they entered separately online and did not know each other personally. You can learn more about Cooperative Banks on our Systems page.
Two tickets — one bought from a gas station in Helsinki, Finland, and one from Denmark — both matched all six numbers to take home over €7.5 million each.
In 2013, a Danish ticket holder became the second-biggest lottery winner in the country's history after landing the jackpot in the Onsdags Lotto (later renamed Vikinglotto). This is the biggest Vikinglotto jackpot win ever claimed outside of Norway.
Another Finnish winner, this one from Suomussalmi, landed just under €7.5 million to become the country's biggest single jackpot winner.
Won by a single ticket holder from Denmark. The ticket was bought from a Golden Baker store in Vordingborg, and was the eighth-biggest lottery win in Denmark's history at the time.
This jackpot was also won by a single ticket holder from Denmark. At the time, this was the fourth-biggest lottery win in the country's history. The winning ticket was bought online through Danish lottery provider Danske Spil.

On the other hand, number 28 (changed) is among the due results because it was not drawn after 3 of the numbers in these latest results.
Viking Lotto number 1 is one of the hot numbers at this point. (changed from 32)
While 35 is one of the cold numbers. (changed from 8)

Note: The above is based on the latest 100 results.
There are two different Joker games in Latvia that can both be played alongside Latloto 5 of 35. The standard game is played with six numbers and there is a separate game, called Joker 7, played with seven numbers. Here are the the latest results for both draws:
To play, choose six or seven numbers (depending on which game you're playing) between 0 and 9. The same number can be chosen more than once. A series of winning Joker numbers will then be drawn alongside the Latloto 5 of 35 draw. You win prizes by matching your numbers with the digits of the winning Joker series in the exact order, starting from the back.
For example, if the winning Joker 7 series was 2233567, the chosen number 1234567 would win because it matches three digits in the same place from the back: ****567. The more numbers you match, the greater the prize.
Both Joker games cost €1.50 to play. The extra digit means that it is more difficult to win when playing Joker 7, but the prizes are bigger. The two Joker games are played separately, with different winning numbers and prize pools. Below you can see the prizes and odds of winning in each game.
Numbers Matched in Correct Position (from the back)
6 1 in 1,000,000 €150,000
5 1 in 100,000 €6,000
4 1 in 10,000 €600
3 1 in 1,000 €60
2 1 in 100 €15
Joker 7:
7 1 in 10,000,000 €750,000
6 1 in 1,000,000 €75,000
You can also play system games in Latloto. Choose between six and ten numbers and then each combination of five numbers within your selected set will be entered into the game. The cost increases with each additional combination you play but the chances of winning also improve.
Numbers Selected
7 21 €15.75
8 56 €42
9 126 €94.50
10 252 €189
Latloto 5 of 35 was launched in January 1993. The record for the largest jackpot dates back to May 2014, when a player from Tukums won €175,942.
Some of the Lotto prizes are fixed amounts and some are calculated on a pari-mutuel basis, which means they depend on how many tickets are sold and how many winners there are in each tier. The prize tiers for matching five and six numbers, or six numbers plus the bonus, each receive a set percentage of the total prize fund. The remaining money is then used to pay out the fixed-value prizes, including the jackpot.
The value of the jackpot is determined by lottery provider Veikkaus before the draw. If it is not won in a given draw, it will roll over to the next one and will continue to do so until someone wins it.

(Reuters) - Support services company DCC (DCC.L) has picked the head of its energy division, Donal Murphy, to succeed retiring chief executive Tommy Breen from July, it said on Wednesday.
The company also announced plans to buy Shell's (RDSa.L) liquid petroleum gas (LPG) business in Hong Kong and Macau for HK$1.165 billion ($150 million) including debt, as part of a drive to focus more on energy - its largest business.
With the same strategy in mind, it said it would sell its environmental business to private equity firm Exponent for 219 million pounds ($274 million), including debt.
DCC, whose activities range from distributing oil to making Body Shop's body butters, said it expected to receive about 170 million pounds in cash after that sale completes in the quarter ending June 30.
"The disposal of the environmental division brings sharpened strategic focus to the group and will allow DCC to concentrate fully on growing and developing the Energy, Healthcare and Technology divisions," Breen said in a statement.
DCC has been looking to buy distribution and market assets from oil majors as they slim down to cope with weaker oil prices, and said on Wednesday the Shell deal would give it one of the leading LPG businesses in Hong Kong and the market leader in Macau.
The operations will retain the Shell brand and the deal is expected to complete before the end of DCC's financial year on March 31, 2018.
Incoming CEO Murphy has led the energy business, which accounts for about 68 percent of DCC's profit, for eleven years, during which time the unit's profit has grown by more than 400 percent and it has expanded into 11 markets through about 125 acquisitions worth 1.4 billion pounds in total.
"Donal has led the very significant growth of the energy division ... (He) is well known to, and regarded by investors and his appointment should be well received," Peel Hunt analysts wrote in a note.
DCC stuck by its November forecast for operating profit in the year ended March 31, 2017, to be significantly ahead of the previous year, thanks to past acquisitions and strong trading.
Davy analysts have forecast earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of 360 million pounds.
DCC shares were up 1.8 percent at 7,145 pence at 1159 GMT, the third biggest rise on London's bluechip index .FTSE.


"If you told me I'm getting a 10 percent raise, and I'm only getting a 2.6 percent raise, I'd be pretty pissed off."
On Thursday, MSNBC host Katy Tur just wasn't in the mood to deal with yet another lie from the president.
During his Christmas trip to Iraq to visit the troops, President Donald Trump blurted out two blatant falsehoods about military pay. Not only did he tell the soldiers that he had given them their first pay raise in ten years (they've gotten raises every year since 1983) but he also said that the raise he gave them was 10 percent (it was actually 2.6 percent).
After playing a clip of Trump making these false claims to the troops, Tur just decided to let it rip.
Later on in the conversation, Tur explained that she still couldn't let the issue go of Trump lying about the size of the raises.

A philosophical study of the ethical challenges of data privacy in the Age of Technology
Privacy has been a concern for as long as we have shared our lives with other people. Clearly, there are aspects of our lives that have special meaning because they are exclusively known to us, experienced by us, or shared with us.
But how do we navigate this concern in the Age of Technology? This book attempts an answer to this question from an ethical perspective. The first chapter sketches an overview of the current data privacy landscape, and argues that this landscape is unprecedented. Our established ways of managing privacy concerns, in other words, no longer suffice – we need to rethink our ethical concepts of privacy. The second chapter lays out a case against one possible ethical approach that currently dominates the debate around data privacy, based on a deliberation of potential harmful consequences. The third chapter proposes an alternative approach: data privacy deserves protection in as far as it is necessary to respect and protect important ethical values, and in particular the value of persons qua persons. Rather than trying to predict and manage harms we hardly understand, we need to define clear ethical motivations and boundaries for how we ought to manage people's private data. After all, what this comes down to, is the question of how we envision a good life in a world largely defined by technology – now, and in our technosocial future.

Despite the popularity of centralized social networks such as Facebook and Reddit, Online Forums continue to thrive, but still have challenges.
Tapatalk bootstrapped forum adoption with just 22 forums at launch. Now over 200,000 forums have installed Tapatalk software and are participating in the combined network.
Tapatalk started as a mobile app reader for forums, Tapatalk built a unified Forum API that is now installed in over 200,000 forums.
Alexa.com estimates the Tapatalk Network of 200,000 forums has over six billion monthly page views with over 400 million registered users.
Just 3% of forum members contribute over 80% of new content. Forum activities can be significantly improved with a proper reward system in place.
Over 80% of Online Forum revenue is generated from display advertising, with over 60% of traffic generated from Google search results.
The Forum Industry has under-invested in improving user engagement and retention. Much of the energy has been spent generating more page views (from SEO) and higher ad revenues (primarily AdSense).
Online Forums need a common alliance to share community insights and technology know-how to prevent bad actors and encourage/engage quality users. While maintaining their independence, and user anonymity and privacy.
The Future of Forums will take a nostalgic turn to the original vision of the Internet (Remember NNTP?) via tokenization to make both commercialization and governance possible.
Tokenization of Online Forums can create all sorts of tools for members, moderators and admins to nurture great, engaging content and relationships among participants.
Empower users to control & foster their identity with single sign-on to forums.
Empower forum owners with greater tools for moderations & self-governance.
Facilitate economic activities in forum marketplaces and other digital goods and services.
Increase user engagement with tipping, reward and other incentives using crypto tokens.
The Forum Commons, will provide truly decentralized governance on matters such as ecosystem seeding, reference implementation, token issuances and more.
A decentralized forum identity solution that will enable users to protect their identity at the same time making it easier to join and sign in to all participating TAPx Forums.
TAPx will create tools for forums to define content reputation and to allow members to carry their reputation across forums.
Local Reputation can be scaled using Forum Score and collected into a Global Content Reputation Score to enable users to build a collective reputation that reflects their efforts and good behavior on all forums across the TAPx network.
Forum Owners can improve engagement and retention by branding the TAPs Token.
Branded Tokens is a sub-token framework to encourage token usage within the forum with ability to fine-tune incentive and usage rules at individual forum level.
Incentive Schemes allow customization at the individual forum level and help forums to improve engagement and retention.

Ranking All the Netflix Original Movies (201-250)
The governing principle behind this website has always been, "Well, I did this, so I might as well document it."
I think we've established by now that I watch ostensibly everything that matters each year (in terms of American feature releases), and a lot that doesn't. And that now includes an ever-increasing number of Netflix movies. And, as is my credo, if I'm watching them all, why not make you all have to hear about it?
This isn't a definitive ranking by any stretch. It's really just how much I like each of the movies and want to recommend them to you. That's it. Because at this point, there's so much stuff that's put out on the platform that unless something truly breaks through, it immediately gets lost under the pile of the newer, shinier stuff. So the goal is to just talk about everything in relation to all the others, so you can gauge what you have seen versus where I've put everything and then maybe go, "Oh, what's this one? This one sounds good."
I will also say (because it has to be said) — it's vague as to what constitutes a Netflix Original film. I generally use Wikipedia as a guide, because Netflix has never put out an official list, and it's impossible to use their site to figure it out. But also, some of the stuff on Wikipedia's list are foreign films no one in America has heard of, and some other stuff that we all clearly think of as a Netflix movie isn't. It's all up for debate, so I just kinda went with what made sense to me. The rules are my own and I've decided what I think counts. The point is: shut up and let's just celebrate the cool movies that are here. Cool? Cool.
(Note: I try to update these articles every few months as we get close to another round number of films. The next update will hopefully be sometime after the Oscars.)
241. #REALITYHIGH
This is the biggest abomination Netflix has ever put out. That may well change, eventually. That is, there may be a bigger abomination they put out. But it doesn't change the fact that this movie is an abomination. The fact that the title is a hashtag is bad enough. But the fact that it's a movie that celebrates social media (even while criticizing it) is something I can never get over.
The plot is basically Mean Girls but with Snapchat. Regular smart girl without many friends is taken in by the cool girl who is a social media star because the cool girl's ex-boyfriend takes an interest in her. So she becomes her friend to get back at him/try to win him back, meanwhile the regular girl loses sight of who she is and starts to become as obsessed with her digital image and likes and all that crap.
No one in the movie is a real human being, the while the lead actress does what she can and does seem almost like a real person, nothing can overcome the atrocious values inherent in this movie. I will never actively say a movie should never be seen, but this movie really does stand for everything I hate.
240. XOXO
Before #RealityHigh, this was the most abominable movie Netflix had put out. Fortunately, no hashtag, but the title is essentially text-speak. And the plot — it revolves around a group of characters who attend an outdoor music festival. Basically Love Actually at Coachella. Yeah. See what I mean?
The problem with movies like this is that its basic philosophy for the characters is, "We're 22. This is our time!" I don't want a movie whose basic premise makes me go, "Fuck you." Or the idea that one person can make a song that can change the world. Or like, "If I can just get my music into the hands of this famous person, I know my life will change." There's a lot of "fuck you's" in this movie. Mostly to the audience. But a lot were me saying it back to the screen. Definitely one of the more soulless outputs of the platform.
239. The Ridiculous 6
Adam Sandler is no stranger to the bottom of a list like this. And I think we all recognize that he stopped trying right around 2007. The only even halfway decent movies he's made since then are ones with top level directors. Everything else is just him hanging out with his friends with no care for quality whatsoever. And this, the first of his initial six-picture deal with Netflix, is the most egregious thing he's come out with since *looks at notes* the movie that came out before this. Jesus.
As you can tell, the title is a play on The Magnificent Seven. Sandler plays a gunfighter raised by Native Americans who finds out he has five brothers. So he sets out to find his brothers so they can go out and find their father. But holy shit. There are things happening in this movie that are… lowest common denominator is the ceiling this movie is striving to reach. There's a recurring bit about Rob Schneider's donkey having explosive diarrhea. Taylor Lautner plays the most overt and offensive mentally-challenged person stereotype I may have ever seen put on screen. There's literally a scene where he gets blown by the donkey. It's absolutely insane.
The thing about these Sandler movies… there's no pretense of plot anymore the majority of the time. It's literally just a series of scenes the actors think are funny. And apparently there are still people who agree with them, otherwise why would we all still be subjected to them? But I think you all know this. I think we all acknowledge how awful this movie is. I could have just left this entry as a simple sigh and we'd have understood.
238. Father of the Year
Did you think a movie starring David Spade was gonna be particularly good?
Here's the premise: he's basically Joe Dirt. White trash dude living in a trailer park. His son shows up one day and is like, "My friend says he dad can probably beat you up." So Spade decides to prove that he can beat up the other dad, and alleged comedy ensues. It's awful. The worst part about this movie is that they try to put a real story in between the Spade "comedy" bits.
It's a Happy Madison movie. And I think we all have evidence to know these generally are not good. To quote another movie, they gave you all the clues. You should know what this is without having to subject yourself to it.
237. Malibu Rescue
This is a Nickelodeon channel movie masquerading as a Netflix movie. The comedy is dumb and meant for seven-year-olds, and there's literally nothing of value in this unless you're seven. And even then… kinda questionable.
The only reason this is so high on the list is because the other ones are overly objectionable. This one is just bad and for kids. The others aren't for anyone with brain cells.
236. Ibiza
Every time a certain type of movie hits, there's a flood of copycats that come out in the ensuing years. The Netflix distribution model has ensured that the copycats will continue finding a home even after the fad has long since past. It's like Multiplicity. Clone after clone, getting worse and worse each time. Only, rather than clone the original, we're cloning the copycats that weren't very good to begin with.
Here's the premise: woman is going to Spain on a business trip. Her two friends decide to join to go party. They decide to go to Ibiza for the weekend for debauchery. Shit happens. You've seen variations of this coming out the past few years, so you know what you're getting. It's one of those movies where every character who isn't the lead is so over the top that they're not even a human being, and the whole thing just infuriates your storytelling instincts, because it feels over-developed to the point of trying to sell itself to whatever market they think is out there.
This is the kind of movie that lowers the bar for everything else.
235. Step Sisters
So my main gripe with movies like this is when every character is heightened in the name of comedy that absolutely no person or situation in this movie resembles any kind of reality. So you're basically asking everyone to go along with these caricatures and assuming they will care and laugh at what's going on. My response to movies like that is usually: no.
It's about an overachieving black student who has ambitions and is basically forced by the dean into rehabilitating a white sorority by helping them learn to step dance. So already we're on racially sensitive ground. But the notion that not only does she have to do this because it will get her into the law school she wants to go to (patently illegal), but they have to win the competition, you're basically watching every moment of this movie wondering how any of these people could possibly exist in real life and how half of them haven't died already because they're so stupid.
Chances are, when you get me talking about the worst of Netflix, and it's not the obvious Adam Sandler-type stuff, I'm gonna mention this, the hashtag movie and the music festival movie. I can almost guarantee you those will be my answers when asked on the spot. And hey, not all of them can be good. This is just one of the absolute worst.
It's like if you took the plot of You're Next, but made it a shitty thriller. A bunch of brothers show up to visit their dying mother, and then a bunch of masked attackers show up and they have to defend themselves. Only whereas You're Next had an element of humor and fun to it and was actually engaging… this is just boring as shit.
Sometimes the worst crime a movie can commit is not simply being terrible… it's being almost competent and so boring that you wonder why they even bothered. This is one of those movies where you wonder who would find it interesting, because there's literally nothing to keep your attention throughout it.
233. Clinical
You'll notice a pattern in the films at this point on the list — bad/boring genre films. This is the "psychiatrist loses their shit" thriller. "Am I crazy or is my psycho patient trying to kill me?"
The less said about a movie like this, the better. There's really nothing of value here at all. It's like one of the unpopped popcorn kernels in the bottom of the bag. Let's spend our time on the good stuff.
232. You Get Me
Another example in the "crazy white girl" genre. And, as we must say for all of these… just watch Fatal Attraction.
It stars Bella Thorne, who apparently is making a career out of shitty straight-to-VOD genre thrillers. It's a plot you've seen a hundred times — guy sleeps with a new girl while broken up with his girlfriend, then gets back together with the girlfriend. Only the new girl doesn't want that to happen… and psycho stalking, etc, happens.
There's nothing new here, nothing of substance, and you could probably get more emotional performances out of the first tree you ran into outside. It's the kind of movie you can see in its entirety from the log line, and one that I can't fathom why you'd waste your time with.
231. The Open House
This is a thriller without the thrills. One of those "is our house haunted, or is that weird dude who keeps showing up doing this to us" movies.
The problem is, none of it is interesting or engaging, despite the film ending in a different place than you'd expect from a movie like this. Or maybe it's just so bad at doing what it's trying to do that it's completely in line with a movie like this and it just feels different because the movie's so boring.
The current 3.2 rating on IMDB should tell you all you need to know about this one.
230. Secret Obsession
This is a Lifetime movie level thriller. Woman wakes up after being attacked with no memory of what happened. Her husband takes her home and reminds her of everything she's forgotten. Only, turns out, guess what? He's her captor! He's the bad guy, not her husband!
Yeah, it's awful. It's only for the people who really like schlocky thrillers. For everyone else, there are better bad movies (and even good movies) on this platform to waste your time with.
229. Fatal Affair
Generic thriller with an all-black cast (apparently these crappy genre movies are only ones they let have all-black casts nowadays?). It's basically a Lifetime thriller — woman runs into an old boyfriend and slowly he turns out to be a creepy stalker who engineered everything and thinks they're gonna end up together. You can telegraph the plot the entire way through and really the only thing you'll get out of watching it is seeing people like Nia Long and Omar Epps and thinking, "Oh, good, they're still getting work."
228. A Fall from Grace
Tyler Perry movie. That alone tells you pretty much everything you need to know about what you'll think of it, since his movies largely hit the same way. So if you know how you feel about his stuff, you'll know about this. It's one of his dramas though, not a comedy. It's a generic thriller — woman on trial for murder, all sorts of secrets about. It's dumb. There's really not a whole lot going on here and you could do far better on the platform.
227. Benji
Blumhouse produced this. And yes, this is a family dog movie. And holy shit, it is bad.
Think of a movie trying to be like an early 90s family movie. Okay, now picture them making it today. And now picture them making it badly. And then drop it a couple of levels into, "Oh my god, what happened here?" That's about where this movie is at.
It's not that a company that primarily produces horror movies made this. Anyone can make a bad movie. But this… what was the purpose of this, exactly? Granted, if this were put out on Nickelodeon as a feature, I wouldn't have questioned it. But this was like, actually put out as a real thing on Netflix. And it's… I feel like one would get more out of a teeth cleaning than this movie.
226. Dangerous Lies
Yet another generic Lifetime-level thriller. Woman acts as a caretaker for an older man (Elliott Gould, who was somehow reduced to this), who suddenly ends up dead after giving her a large check. And on top of that, she and her boyfriend find a large trunk of money in the attic. And now the police and shady characters are involved, and she starts to think that maybe the boyfriend is in on it and it might have been a long con all along — it's dumb. Apparently there's an audience for these types of movies, otherwise they wouldn't exist in such a large quantity, but I don't see how this will do it for most people, given the amount of other, better things Netflix has to offer.
225. Walk. Ride. Rodeo.
This is as close you can get to a faith-based sports movie without being overly religious. Or overly a sports movie, I guess.
It's about a young rodeo rider who gets in a bad accident that paralyzes her. The title comes from what she said her goals were after her diagnosis. So it's your generic sports movie of… bad accident, getting mad about the situation for a while, then bucking up and working toward a comeback.
It's… you've seen the story a bunch. It's made with almost no budget, the writing is generic for even generic standards, and it's got that Netflix look, which just cheapens the whole thing. This feels like it should have been put out on Lifetime instead of here.
224. Holiday in the Wild
Sometimes Netflix is The Hallmark Channel. This is one of those times.
It's a rom com with Kristin Davis and Rob Lowe. She's a woman whose husband divorces her the minute their kid leaves for college, on the eve of their second honeymoon trip to Africa. So she decides to go alone. And Rob Lowe is a womanizing pilot she meets and falls in love with.
My favorite thing about these movies is that this totally random main character meets the guy who's been sleeping with hundreds of women over the years, yet somehow, this one is the one. It's not a new concept (look at Red Dust. That movie's going on 90 years old), but man, do these movies somehow never find a way to not make it cheesy.
223. Holiday Rush
It's adequately made, it's got a nice cast, but it's broad and over-written. Which is pretty standard for these Netflix Christmas movies. It's about a DJ that gets fired from his job just before Christmas and has to downgrade his expensive lifestyle and reconnect with his spoiled children. It's entirely by the numbers and generic enough to appeal to some people, but there's better Netflix fare out there.
Though big shout out to them for bringing in Darlene Love to sing. That's worth a hundred of these movies.
222. Operation Christmas Drop
Generic Hallmark-level rom com. Reporter goes to military base to cover annual humanitarian drop the soldiers do every Christmas. Guess what's gonna happen between her and the charming but roguish soldier assigned to escort her around?!!! Yeah, it's dumb, predictable and there's really nothing of value here unless you're someone who watches these types of things.
221. The Wrong Missy
Doesn't that image tell about all you need to know. It's a Happy Madison David Spade movie. It's horrendously over the top, whereas it could have actually been halfway decent maybe if it weren't made by Adam Sandler's company. This is the type of plot you could have seen in the 70s. Basically — he's divorced and goes on a blind date with an insane person. It goes horribly. Then, he meets a beautiful woman in an airport and immediately hits it off with her. He then has to go to a work retreat in Hawaii and decides, "I'm gonna invite the beautiful woman. Shoot my shot." Of course, both women have the same name and he accidentally texts the crazy one, so now he's got the crazy person with him on this trip, and all sorts of dumb shit ensues. The problem with this, as is the problem with most comedies — the people don't act like regular humans. They're so heightened that you can't even find it funny. It's beyond parody. But you knew that the minute I wrote "Happy Madison David Spade movie". So it is what it is. If you're the type of person who enjoys movies like this, then reading these articles really isn't gonna help you all that much. And you should just keep doing what you're doing.
220. Otherhood
On the one hand, it's nice that someone gave Patricia Arquette, Angela Bassett and Felicity Huffman a starring vehicle. On the other hand, this is a bad movie.
They play mothers with adult children who realize they have to reevaluate their relationships with their children now that they're no longer kids (and they themselves are no longer young). I'm not really sure what the tone of it is. It's got some dramatic moments and some awful comedy moments. Maybe this will be for someone, but for most people, there's better stuff out there to look at instead.
219. Eli
Terrible horror-thriller about a kid getting treatment for an auto-immune disorder where… guess what… maybe the people taking care of him aren't really taking care of him!
It's just really bland, even if Kelly Reilly is trying as the mother. It twists and turns to a completely bizarre conclusion that probably deserved a better movie in order for it to work.
This genre was never for me, so there was little chance I was gonna think this movie was good, but I can't imagine most people would really care about this. It's just boring and doesn't amount to much.
218. The Holiday Calendar
Part of Netflix's Christmas rom-com universe. Woman gets an enchanted advent calendar, where each of the things inside it start to come true. It's so stupid.
But you know what? Stupid isn't the worst thing in the world, and this is the kind of movie that you can just put on and watch with your brain shut off. Granted, most of the stuff in this realm (which is really starting to borrow from the Hallmark model, isn't it?) is more watchable than this. This one was generic bordering on not-good for me.
Still, the idea of this weird shared Christmas universe is amusing to me. So even as bad as some of the entries are, the fact that it exists does make me chuckle.
217. Desperados
This script was floating around the Black List for some years and was one of those semi-famously unproduced scripts. And a bunch of people came and went over the years, and now it's reduced to a cast you've never really heard of and duped on a platform that caters to these types of movies. The premise is — woman who is getting older and having bad luck with men finally meets a really great guy. Then, after a few amazing weeks, he suddenly disappears without a trace. Thinking he ghosted her, she gets drunk with her friends and sends a ranting, angry email to him. Of course, then she finds out that he was in a car accident in Mexico and was in a coma for several dies (you know, the rationalization you make up before you come to terms with the fact that the person ghosted you). So now she and her friends rush to Mexico to delete the email before he can get his stuff back (you know, rather than just explain it like a human being). It's dumb, the comedy is obvious and quite frankly, is not really a movie you need to waste your time on.
216. Sextuplets
Starring Marlon Wayans… and Marlon Wayans… and Marlon… you get the idea.
Someone had a comedy bit about how there's this weird thing where famous black comedians somehow always have to wear a fat suit and play a woman at some point (see also: Norbit, Big Momma's House), and that's all I could think about while watching this movie.
It's a very Wayan brothers type movie. Marlon Wayans plays a guy who, on the eve of his wedding, finds his birth mother and finds out that he also has five other siblings. Of course he plays all of them and it's just a vehicle for him to do crazy shit. It's weird that these movies still get made, but I guess when you have a platform like this, it's meant for all sorts of people with all sorts of tastes.
So yeah. If you're into dumb comedies with the same actor playing broadly stereotyped characters, this one's for you.
215. Sandy Wexler
What a strange movie. First off, this might be the one Adam Sandler movie that's come out that nobody knows. I haven't heard anyone talking about this, even to say how bad it is. But also… here's a movie that's not a comedy, and not a drama.
It starts like a Woody Allen movie or something. And then it spends its first 70 minutes telling a story… and you get to what you assume is the end of act two. Things are sad, and then it'll all work out in the next 20 minutes. Only the movie then goes on FOR ANOTHER HOUR. It's insane. It just drags and drags and drags. And I'm not quite sure what they were going for.
This is also perhaps the epitome of a modern day Adam Sandler movie. Which is — he's not making them for you. He's doing it to amuse himself and hang out with his friends. He plays a talent agent that's basically a pastiche of his actual manager.
There are better bad movies to waste your time with than this.
214. The Main Event
Kids movie that most people won't like but you also can't really hate either because it's so specifically for its target age group that you just kind of have to leave it to those people. The premise is straight from one of those 80s and 90s movies we all grew up with – shy type kid who's big into wrestling but is sort of afraid to let his actual personality out finds a magical mask that allows him to have all the skills of a professional wrestler. So he enters a local competition to find the next great superstar. It's wish fulfillment stuff. That's all. It's got cameos from actual wrestlers in it and is purely for kids in the 7-12 range. That's all.
213. The Last Summer
I feel bad putting this over some of the ones below it. It's a very bad, very overly serious teen movie. One of those, "This is our last summer before college, we need to make it count" movies. Fortunately it's not about how the whole world is ahead of them because they're young. But it is very much one of those movies that's serious about its subplots. How the dumbest shit becomes the biggest deal.
One of the main subplots is this budding relationship. But the dude realizes that his father is having an affair with the girl's (single) mother. He's tortured by this. Naturally. And then, later, when the girl finds out, she's furious. And you watch this and it's like, "It's not that big a deal?" Also, why do you not question what this fact did to your boyfriend, since technically your mother was being taken advantage of by a scumbag. This dude has to live with the scumbag and what it means for his own mother. That's the kind of shit that happens in this movie. It's almost like what a high school student things high drama is. Think about what the biggest element of drama was in the stuff you wrote in high school. It's kinda like this.
So I guess what I'm saying is… it's competently made and all that, but none of the stuff feels remotely real or worthwhile. That's mainly what this section of the list is. I wouldn't tell you to not watch it, but I'll also tell you that there's really not much there and that you could do much better. This one in particular feels like it more closely straddles the line into being straight up bad.
212. Extinction
It looks good on paper. Michael Pena, Lizzie Kaplan, and the director was coming off a very impressive debut with Hounds of Love (a very underrated Australian kidnapping thriller). It's one of those movies — aliens come down and a guy has to protect his family. Only… the movie takes an insane twist by the midway point, where you wonder why you even care about these people or anything that's going on.
That's what this movie is — you're kinda invested, but not really, and then they pull the rug out from under you and you're wondering what the hell is going on and if you do or should bother trying to figure out any of it. I ultimately landed on, no, no you should not. It's watchable, but given the fact that Netflix seems to stick to certain types of genre films, there are better 'invasion' movies on this list alone.
211. Christmas Inheritance
This was the first of the Netflix Christmas movies. At the moment, it's not connected to this universe thing they've created. So it's like the Edward Norton Incredible Hulk. Early and forgotten, but helped lay the groundwork.
This is also basically a Hallmark movie. But all of these Netflix Christmas movies are. It's about a city girl who has to go back to her small town home. Of course there she's gonna find love and want to stay… you know how these movies go.
This is like all the others — if you're predisposed to liking them, you'll like it just fine. It's one of the weaker ones, so I wouldn't go out of my way to see it, but this is comfort food to most people. You know what you're getting.
210. Nappily Ever After
"How Stella Cut Her Hair Off."
It's about a woman finding herself after cutting off all her hair. Culturally, I get it. I understand everything they were trying to do with this movie. Did I love it? Not particularly.
This is one of those where I would say… don't necessarily go by my opinion of it. Though aside from the good stuff, I did feel like a lot of the writing and the performances were wildly over the top, and that never helps ground me to a movie.
Still, this is one where, you'll know if this sounds like it's for you. If it doesn't sound like it's for you, then yeah, you can probably skip it. Though also don't expect it to be much more than okay.
209. Rattlesnake
Very strange thriller. Carmen Ejojo plays a woman traveling through the desert with her daughter when her daughter gets bit by a snake. Somehow, there's a trailer in the middle of nowhere with a woman who says she can help. And she does. She saves the little girl… and then disappears. Only for Ejojo to find out that because she's been helped by whoever this mysterious entity was, she now has to pay off the favor… by killing someone.
And that's the movie. She's gotta kill someone or else her daughter will die. Pretty generic, as much as it's nice to see Ejojo getting a lead role. It's by the same director who did 1922 for Netflix, but this one just doesn't ever take off. It's really boring all the way through and there's no real suspense in it whatsoever. This is the kind of movie where, if you fall asleep with the TV on, you'll wake up at 3:45 in the morning and this is just randomly on, so you watch about ten minutes of it before falling back asleep. There's a reason they only show it at that hour of the morning.
208. Seriously Single
South African rom com that's more worthy of respect than praise. It's the same heightened comedy you see from dumb American rom coms. Woman is a serial monogamist and finally thinks she's found 'the one'… only to find out he's about to get married to someone else. And so she, with help from her friend (you know, the sassy one who is always sleeping with a new person each week), learns how to be single. It's the same thing you've seen, but it's made in South Africa with an all African cast. So that's cool.
207. I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House
This is an interesting one. In that… it's trying something. But I found it terribly boring. It's a gothic horror film without the horror. It's just kind of slow, and meditative, and boring.
The director (Oz Perkins, son of Anthony, who had a really solid debut with The Blackcoat's Daughter) seemingly had a vision for how this turned out. It just… somehow never got there. It fell so flat to me that I figured I must have missed something or that maybe I wasn't meant to get it. But I think most people feel the same way about this.
It just… doesn't really work. It's admirable in some technical qualities, but there's not a whole lot you're gonna get from this in the way of entertainment value.
206. iBoy
What a fucking crazy movie this is.
Here's the premise: kid gets shot while running away from bad guys. He has his phone in his hand, so the bullet, while hitting the phone first, causes fragments of his phone to lodge into his head. And then… he gets superpowers. Basically his brain has the functional capacity of a cell phone. So it's kind of like Transcendence meets Lucy, but if it were sponsored by Apple.
This premise would have been rejected from an ad campaign.
It's competent, and the premise is nuts, but it's not the worst movie I've ever seen. Though I'm not sure why you would spend your time on this.
205. Malevolent
Florence Pugh and her brother perform fake paranormal visits in people's allegedly haunted houses. It's a scam, but of course, in this house, it starts to seem all too real.
I like her a lot, and there's almost enough to be entertained here, but in the end it's just another generic thriller. Unless you really love this genre, I'd recommend everyone just go see Lady Macbeth instead. There's much better Florence out there.
204. The True Memoirs of an International Assassin
Not the worst setup for a comedy: author writes a spy novel called "The Memoirs of an International Assassin." His publisher won't put it out because fiction doesn't sell. So he puts the word "True" in the title, pretending it's an autobiography. Of course, sales skyrocket. Only now, some real people start to take his fiction and think, "That sounds a lot like (insert event/killing/etc here)," and now want him dead.
Not terrible, right? Of course, you can see how that could end up very generic. But also… to take that premise and then cast Kevin James… you kinda know what you're getting from the jump there, don't you? Kevin James is one of those rarified actors who has literally never made a good movie. The only semi-decent one he was in also happened to star Will Smith. He's like the anti-John Cazale.
Also, this was directed by the director of Kick-Ass 2 and Truth or Dare, so there's that too.
203. Fractured
The setup is interesting, and reminds me of one of my favorite thrillers (Breakdown with Kurt Russell, which I will say now, just stop reading this if you're even considering this movie and go watch Breakdown instead) — guy's daughter gets into an accident and he and his wife rush her to the hospital. Then, the wife and daughter disappear and the hospital claims they never came there at all.
The problem with a setup like that, especially here, is that there are only two outcomes: either everyone is lying and there's a conspiracy and there's nefarious shit going on, or the dude is crazy. So you're basically watching this movie waiting to see when it's gonna tip its hat as to which it is. And this one tips its hat really early. And on top of that, it goes the extra mile to make itself incredibly off-putting by its end, ensuring that not only was it bland and obvious, but you have no desire to ever watch it again.
202. The Do-Over
This was an Adam Sandler movie I came out going, "Wow, I can't believe I didn't hate that." Wouldn't have guessed that. I guess it's more of a David Spade movie, now that I think about it. Not that it makes it any better.
Basically the premise is, two dudes meet up at a reunion and realize they hate their lives. So they decide to fake their own deaths and start over. Only, the two people whose identities they assume… well, as you can see by the picture, they weren't the best of people.
Mostly what I was struck with by this movie is that it wasn't as shitty as I come to assume all Adam Sandler movies are. Sure, the jokes are stupid, but they're closer to being passable here than they are in all the other movies. This one actually has a plot. You can get engaged for portions of this. It's one of the more watchable comedies he's made in a decade. That said, it's hard for me to straight up recommend this. You gotta keep things in context. There's way better stuff out there to spend time on.
201. Fearless
C-grade family animation. It's not as bad as the really cheap stuff, but it'll never be mistaken for the theatrical/prestige stuff either. Kid playing a video game and trying to reach the final level somehow accidentally assumes control of the hero's children to babysit. So the logic of the movie is that the space character in the video game that he's controlling does exist out in space simultaneously, and while he's about to go on his final mission, someone needs to watch his kids, so the boy playing the video game is sent the babies to watch. It's mind-boggling and I don't know how you can jump through enough hoops to justify any of that making sense. But, it's for young kids. It's dumb and colorful and maybe if they're not very discerning it'll help them pass 90 minutes. For the rest of us, we can do better. Much better.

Thanks everyone for all the birthday texts and messages. My phone is being a complete dog at the moment and only sometimes lets me answer phone calls. All other times it jams and plays a one second loop of the ring tone for a minute before turning itself off. Very annoying.
In other news Zeds parent flew back to Canada on Wednesday and I begin the slow process of putting my house back together after 12 weeks of house guests.
