Where to Watch & Show Movies Online 2022

A lot of families are tightening their budgets and sometimes that means giving up subscriptions and cutting back spending on entertainment. However, people can still stream movies and TV shows for free or read username and password-protected newspapers online for free, if they know where to look. Jill McFadden used to take her kids to the library to pick out books, now she accesses the library online to save herself the trip and some money. “It’s really great to be able to have so many things at my fingertips and not have to pay for them. So, especially a family on a tight budget and lots of kids, it was really nice to be able to have, to try new things more often, because I’m being able to get them for free,” McFadden said. Baltimore County Public Library director Sonia Alcantara-Antoine explained there's a lot more families can check out with a library card than books. “Yes, we still have books. We will always have books. But, we’re beyond books now, and the way people access inf...

Around 2022, after [Nicolas Cage] had a string of box office flops with the likes of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, the actor started becoming the face of straight-to-[VOD] action movies. Those roles piled up in the dozens as [reports surfaced] that Cage blew his $150 million fortune, owed the IRS $6.3 million in property taxes and was taking every acting role he could in order to get out of debt. The actor recently clarified this period of his life in an interview with [Smartstream21net magazine]. I’ve got all these creditors and the IRS and I’m spending $20,000 a month trying to keep my mother out of a mental institution, and I can’t, Cage said about his debts. It was just all happening at once. Cage said that he refused to get to the point where he would have to file for bankruptcy, even if people in his life were telling him he should. That’s where the endless string of Cage-starring VOD movies came in handy, although the Oscar winner stressed that ...

Trevor Noah wants to clarify his stance on Kanye West following recent controversy. After the news of the rap artist's recently Grammys performance ban amid concerning online behavior and a 24-hour suspension from Instagram for directing a racial slur at the Daily Show host, the comedian, who is hosting the upcoming music award ceremony, issued a statement on Twitter on Sunday, March 20. The tweet from the host, who has spoken out against cancel culture before and has himself faced criticism over some past jokes, comes a day after Kanye's rep confirmed to E! News a March 18 report from The Blast, which quoted sources close to Ye as saying that the Donda rapper's team was told over the phone that evening that he was pulled from the lineup of performers for the Grammys due to his concerning online behavior. News has reached out for comment from the Recording Academy, the group behind the ceremony, about the cancellation and about Noah's tweet but has not heard back. Kanye...

When I play the imaginary 2022 Oscar montage in my mind, I visualize scores of young people. A cherubic Northern Irish boy running in the cobblestone streets; a New England fisherman’s conflicted daughter belting onstage; two determined Compton-born girls pummeling their competition on the tennis courts; a pair of stubborn star-crossed adolescents finding love and fighting death on the streets of New York City. If 2020’s best picture lineup — featuring Parasite, Joker, The Irishman and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood — collectively spoke to men’s fears about society leaving them behind, and 2021’s contenders — among them Mank, Minari and Nomadland — jointly questioned the mythology America tells about itself, then you might have expected 2022’s Oscar roster to similarly biopsy modern life in a further effort to determine what is slowly killing us. Yet, the Academy’s most prized films of the past year are not just another array of...

Wiregrass Georgia Technical College graduate Demiven Knighton knew his hard work had paid off. The design and media production graduate has successfully completed his first film project, “The Middle Child – The Story of Tevin King,” a film based on the high school football career of running back Tevin King, a 2017 Colquitt County High School graduate, college officials said in a statement. Knighton realized early in life that he wanted to be in the film industry and discovered Wiregrass Tech through a social media ad and enrolled in the design and media production technology program. “In my opinion, I believe I have always been creative, but my creativity grew more as I started my program at Wiregrass and learned from my instructor, John Patten. I was able to learn how to take an idea or story and bring it to life through film production or photography,” he said. Patten, the design and media production program coordinator, shared some insight about Knighton...

Financial criminals aim to take advantage of increasing mobile payment traffic as companies undergo remote work, staffing changes, and other forms of pandemic-driven disruption. Those criminals are also using technologies such as robotic process automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to launch increasingly sophisticated attacks on digital channels for moving money. At the same time, relatively new, more lightly regulated payment platforms have expanded the risks associated with transactions. Indeed, mobile payments are proliferating, particularly in consumer sectors, yielding benefits such as speed and convenience. Organizations are also enriching payment data to enhance customer experiences and create new mobile service offerings, and developing countries are adopting tech-based payment systems to boost economic growth and assist unbanked individuals. Yet mobile payments can present often unacknowledged threats to brand and reputation and thus to stakeholders’ trust. Technol...

[Mubi’s] German-language, post-WWII drama [Great Freedom] grossed a solid $8,814 at NYC’s Film Forum this weekend, the latest in a string of foreign films to open well and with younger demos previously atypical of the genre. Austria’s shortlisted Oscar submission for Best International Feature was also Mubi’s pick of the week for its [Mubi Go] program that’s been available to NYC streaming subscribers since October. It offers one free ticket a week to a prestige pic (from diverse distributors) and is set to roll out to LA and other U.S. markets this spring. “We are firm believers that the more people that see films in theaters the better. We are about the theatrical experience and a healthier film culture. Generally, it doesn’t exist just on screen or just in theaters. It’s a rising tide. People are more apt to watch something in a cinema if they are fervent and obsessive movie fans,” says Mubi’s director of U.S. distribution...

I was watching Amazon's action TV show Reacher when I realized something. The newly streaming eight-episode series is about a tough guy rolling into a small town and opening a can of whup-ass on the local bad guys. This, I thought, is The A-Team. To be precise, it's a single episode of The A-Team. Season 1 of Reacher covers only one novel from the series of books on which it's based, and season 2 just confirmed by Amazon will presumably do the same. But in the 1980s, TV heroes walked into a whole new adventure every week. In other words, what takes Jack Reacher an entire season of hour-long episodes, the A-Team used to do in an hour (minus ad breaks). Entertain your brain with the coolest news from streaming That same day, my wife and I watched the first episode of Inventing Anna, a Netflix series dramatizing the true story of infamous scammer Anna Sorokin. It looked arch and irreverent, so we decided to keep watching. But first and I know you do this too we checked how...

Robert Pattinson’s pitch-black superhero adventure “The Batman” collected a mighty $128.5 million in its box office debut, marking the best opening weekend of 2022 by a landslide. But what is more impressive: it’s only the second pandemic-era movie to cross the $100 million mark in a single weekend, a feat first achieved by “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which launched last December to a historic $260 million. Thanks to positive reviews, strong reception from ticket buyers and high levels of intrigue to see Pattinson’s moody take on the Caped Crusader, “The Batman” is shaping up to be a commercial winner for Warner Bros. That’s good news because the studio shelled out a hefty $200 million to produce the film and spent many millions more in marking and distribution costs. Bringing Batman to the big screen doesn’t come cheap, and achieving profitability won’t be easy. At the international box office, “The Batman...

Robert Pattinson puts on the Batsuit and cats around with Zoë Kravitz in the latest attempt to reimagine the Caped Crusader. The darkness in “The Batman” is pervasive and literal. Gotham City in the week after Halloween, when this long chapter unfolds, sees about as much sunshine as northern Finland in mid-December. The ambience of urban demoralization extends to the light bulbs, which flicker weakly in the gloom. Bats, cats, penguins and other resident creatures are mostly nocturnal. The relentless rain isn’t the kind that washes the scum off the streets, but the kind that makes a bad mood worse. The Batman — not just any Batman! — is less the enemy of this state of things than its avatar. On television in the 1960s, Batman was playful. Later, in the Keaton-Clooney-Kilmer era of the ’80s and ’90s, he was a bit of a playboy. In the 21st century, through Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy and after, onscreen incarnations of the character have been purged of any trace of joy, misc...
