Epic Pokemon Fusion Art
If you haven't been on the interwebs for a while, you might have missed the "Pokemon Fusion Generator" and resulting trend of posting your randomized (or intentionally spawned) creatures. It's usually a fun way to pass a few minutes (I just got a Nidogong, a mix between a Nidoran and Dewgong!) and see what early pokemon pixel sprites look like when mixed together - but some fanartists have taken it to an entirely new level, using the fused pokemon as art prompts for some glorious creations.

Auteurs Unleashed: 4 Ways How the Coen Brothers Break Convention
You've just seen a Coen brothers movie and someone asks you to describe what kind of a film was it. Are you going to start by talking about the story, tone, genre, etc? Probably not, as the only logical answer here would be that, well, it was a Coen brothers movie. Kind of like its own little genre, where the only consistency is this unique and unconventional brand of enjoyment. However, when delving deeper into their varied and fascinating filmography, it becomes evident that there is a clear rhyme and reason behind that unconventionality.

Lost Under the Weight of a Franchise: In Defense of 'The Bourne Legacy'
I really wasn't interested in ever seeing this one. Indeed, with none of the key players returning, The Bourne Legacy just felt like an unnecessary addition to the iconic and beautifully bookended trilogy of films that changed the spy genre for good. Add to that a fairly negative critical reception and the fact that 2016's Jason Bourne was often summed up as "not as bad as Legacy" and I was perfectly fine with ignoring this seemingly misguided attempt to cash in on a famous franchise.

The 6 Most Underrated Live-Action Disney Films
Nowadays, everyone seems to be clamoring to make live-action versions of the classic cartoons that, let's be honest, we don't really need. But while the "House of Mouse" has procured, and thus released, many new live-action films from other companies, such as Marvel and Lucasfilm, there was a time when they were able to come up with their own live-action stories in a rather clever way. Now, I know there are a lot more where these came from, I am just naming the ones that I find have been overlooked in recent years.
