Not every show is going to be hard-hitting or action-packed from the start. They can’t all be massive, non-stop thrillers that stay in your head for weeks, and that’s okay. Personally, I like a deliberately paced show, which I know isn’t exactly the popular thing in this modern era where everything has to move at a break-neck pace or risk being left behind by the viewing masses. After all, there’s always another show to watch. When it comes to slow-burn preferences, however, I find that it works best with science fiction, especially on a grand scale. Give me various characters…
I have been using a mobile phone since the early 2000s, but my journey with smartphones started with the Nokia 6600. Of course, it came preloaded with RealPlayer, a versatile media player that could run multiple audio and video file formats. It was like VLC of those times, and it was a perfect fit for desktops as well. However, with the evolution of phones into smartphones and our transition into the cloud streaming era, RealPlayer seems to have vanished from the scene. If you thought that, then you’re wrong. RealPlayer is still alive and now has features that could give…
This article was one of our most popular ever and so we’ve decided to unearth it so you can experience it anew. It originally dates from early 2016. I watch porn. The specifics of what I view and how often are strictly between myself and Google, and things will remain that way until I’m dead and buried, thank you very much. The reason I’m even bringing this up is because mere hours ago, I had sex in public, right in the middle of a pleasant outdoor cafe, with two people observing my every reaction. Now before you start calling me…
The newest movie in the Knives Out franchise, Wake Up Dead Man, starts streaming on Netflix on December 12 (and released in select theaters before that, although not in nearly enough). Wake Up Dead Men is the latest in a long line of Netflix movie mysteries designed to puzzle and perplex you before the final twist hits, and you leave shell-shocked and surprised. Maybe you can figure out the endings to some of these mysteries ahead of time, but it’ll be a challenge. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) The original return of Benoit Blanc The Knives Out movies…
‘Tis the season to be jolly – but also to bury yourself in sofa cushions, stoke up the fire and cram mince pies into your mouth while streaming some seasonally appropriate movies. Here’s our guide to the best Christmas films – and, naturally, where you can stream them. Yes, watching Christmas movies is one of the many guilt-free pleasures this time of year provides, and those of you with streaming service subscriptions have plenty of festive fare to mainline directly into your eyeballs. Much of it, predictably, is absolute dross (A Christmas Prince 3: The Royal Baby, anyone?), which is why…
Of the five highest-grossing movies of all time, James Cameron has directed three: Avatar is in first place, Avatar: The Way of Water is in third, and Titanic is in fourth. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the upcoming Avatar: Fire & Ash joins them in the winner’s circle, whatever misgivings I have about the franchise. Clearly, Cameron knows how to make movies that pack people into theaters. That’s more important than ever these days, as movie theaters still haven’t recovered from a post-pandemic slump. Streaming is also a problem; if you have a Netflix account, why bother going to…
It’s Christmas and so it’s time for the traditional sing song about everything tech-wise that’s going to shortly go horribly wrong. So without further ado: On the tech days of Christmas, my gadgets gave to me… Twelve forecasts numbing any sense of joy, because weather apps will flirt with it snowing on the big day, then change their minds and suggest it’ll be sunny and frosty, only for it to end up being grey and rainy all day. Eleven kinsfolk sniping, having been left outside in the cold for longer than necessary, on account of the wireless doorbell, when prodded, inexplicably…

YouTube has evolved into the internet’s most expansive library of tutorials, explainers, documentaries, and niche deep dives. Yet paradoxically, actually watching long-form content on the platform can be frustrating. You are 20 minutes into a 40-minute video when a sprawling sponsor segment appears. The recommendation sidebar tugs you toward distractions, a familiar nuisance if you are sick of irrelevant YouTube suggestions. And you often have no idea whether the hour-long tutorial you are about to start is insightful or misleading. The good news is that you are not stuck with YouTube in its default, chaotic form. With a carefully chosen…
Slim TVs might look slick on your living room wall, but they don’t leave much space for speakers. And if there’s one way to ruin movie night, it’s with disappointing audio. Don’t fancy filling your room with surround sound speakers? These contenders for the title of best soundbar deliver beefy bass, room-filling volume and clarity that won’t leave you reading subtitles – all from a single bar that sits neatly beneath your TV. So, you don’t need a fleet of separates to sort out your subpar sound. Better yet, you don’t have to drop thousands to give your ears an…
