10 DC Animated Films Better Than Any Live-Action Release

For decades, DC has been successfully adapting popular comic book stories into animated movies, and many of them are actually better than the expensive live-action films. Some of these animated movies are connected, telling one big story, while others are self-contained. They even take risks with crossovers you’d never see in theaters, like the team-up between Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. While not every animated movie is a hit – Batman: The Killing Joke is an example of one that missed the mark – fans have a lot to enjoy, and these films generally surpass their live-action equivalents. The Flash, Wonder Woman, and the Suicide Squad all appear in excellent animated features that are well worth watching.

Mewgenics feels right at home on Steam Deck and ROG Ally despite some control issues

Mewgenics offers a lot of customization options. You can choose fullscreen mode, adjust graphics quality with anti-aliasing (ranging from off to 8x), and enable or disable v-sync. You can also change the render scale (from 20% to 100%) and adjust the size of tooltips and the status bar. The game lets you fine-tune visual effects like vignette flicker, noise, and grain, which can be demanding on your system – you can turn them off completely for a cleaner look. Beyond video settings, you can modify combat speed and audio levels. I only adjusted the volume of the ‘Meow’ sound effect, as it became repetitive during battles, but it was fine otherwise. Interestingly, Mewgenics also includes an option to toggle ‘Humping Animations’ which affect the breeding animation that occurs at night.

Heated Rivalry’s Cinematographer Shot the Show for the Meme-Makers

When Parrell joined the team as cinematographer for the popular new hockey romance, he was initially concerned it would look cheap – a common worry in the film industry. He’d first heard about the project from a friend at a dinner in Toronto. It was a drama for Crave, based on Rachel Reid’s Game Changers novels, about two rival hockey captains falling in love. The story would be filmed in Montreal, Moscow, and Las Vegas, featuring glamorous locations like penthouses and arenas. Despite these ambitious settings, Parrell says it was likely the lowest-budget project he’d ever worked on, especially compared to the standards of a streaming service like HBO, where the show, Heated Rivalry, is available in the US. While he wouldn’t call it a favor, he admits he initially saw it as a chance to work with familiar faces.

Roger Ebert and Rob Schneider’s Legendary and Surprising Beef, Explained

The conflict between Roger Ebert and Rob Schneider began three years prior when Ebert gave Schneider’s film, The Hot Chick, a very poor review—half a star out of four. This sparked a public argument, with Schneider repeatedly criticizing Ebert’s opinions. Ebert, in turn, delivered a particularly strong response, making it one of the most memorable clashes between an actor and a film critic. After two decades, it’s worth looking back at this famous feud.
