Free Movies You Can Stream This July on Tubi, Pluto TV and More
If you've grown tired of relentless price hikes from your favorite streaming platforms, it's nice to know that free TV services like Tubi, Kanopy and Pluto TV can be counted on for all kinds of great shows and movies. Every month, these platforms drop new movies and classic films (and many of them carry great TV shows, too). So if you're looking for something fun and cheap, there's no shortage of great stuff to watch. This July, Tubi's got some new original movies that look like solid summer fun. First is its spin on the killer shark genre, Great White Waters, which arrives on July 4. You can also catch the horror film Get Off My Lawn about a neighborhood stalker who will stop at nothing in his quest for home ownership. Tubi has Final Destination (and four of its sequels), too -- the perfect movie marathon to binge if you still plan to see Final Destination Bloodlines soon. On Fawesome, why not check out the 1988 version of The Naked Gun -- which arrives this month -- before you catch the remake with Liam Neeson in theaters later this summer? Leslie Nielsen gives a comedy masterclass with his performance as the absurd and oblivious Lieutenant Frank Drebin. And if you like dramatic classics, try one of Kanopy's July releases like Lawrence of Arabia or The Bridge on the River Kwai. All the films listed here arrive on July 1, unless otherwise noted. Here's a look at some of the biggest and most interesting titles arriving on streaming -- for free -- in July. Tubi Tubi Great White Waters (July 4) Tubi's new original Great White Waters combines the most terrifying aspect of Jaws -- a killer shark looming, looking for its next prey -- with a crime thriller. When millions of dollars worth of cocaine goes missing and is eventually located under the ocean off the coast of Florida, a team is hired to retrieve it for their nefarious boss. The op goes awry when it turns out that a great white shark is guarding the drugs and has no problem chowing down on anyone who dares to swim down to get them. Tubi Get Off My Lawn (July 11) It's about time someone came up with a film called Get Off My Lawn, isn't it? In this new Tubi horror, a young couple (Tahj Mowry and Camila Banus) who have just bought their first house in a well-to-do neighborhood are terrorized by a local teenager (Jonah Hwang) who claims that the home, which belonged to his grandfather, should rightfully be his. Turns out, there aren't enough gates in this gated community to keep them safe from his deranged and violent ways. Other titles arriving in July: TKO (July 18) Jurassic World Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Rye Lane Barbershop Juice Final Destination Amadeus Pulp Fiction Titanic Robocop Minority Report Fawesome Donnie Darko The Pianist Blue Valentine Serpico In Secret Kiss The Girls Point Break Jack Reacher The Naked Gun Kanopy Zola (July 4) The Bridge on the River Kwai (July 4) Lawrence of Arabia (July 11) The Big Chill (July 11) Bram Stoker's Dracula (July 18) Starve Acre (July 18) Ferris Bueller's Day Off (July 25) The Return (July 25) Roku Channel Happy Gilmore Shrek Liar, Liar Waterworld Atomic Blonde Gosford Park Spy Kids Hard Kill Loving Pablo Pluto TV

Pamela Anderson is back to her bombshell best in trailer for the new Naked Gun sequel
Pamela Anderson is back to her bombshell best in The Naked Gun movie sequel, which promises plenty of laughs thanks to its hilariously risqué and over-the-top moments. The actress stars alongside Liam Neeson in the fourth instalment of the iconic movie franchise, which was made popular by the late Leslie Nielsen in the 80s and 90s. In the latest flick, Neeson plays Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr, the son of Nielsen's character Frank who is desperate to live up to his father's legacy. Anderson joins him as his love interest Beth, a nightclub singer who enlists Drebin's help to solve her brother's murder. Playing a seductive femme fatale – the original role was played by Priscilla Presley –Anderson stars in a few raunchy scenes that sure push the envelope. In the official trailer released today, the actress' character is seen through a pair of infra-red binoculars seemingly engaging in a sexually explicit act with Neeson's character. Kneeling on the floor in the kitchen, it appears Beth is performing a sex act on Drebin. But as the footage rolls, it becomes clear she is cleaning the oven with Debrin stood nearby. And fans are lapping up the trailer, with many counting down to the film's August 21 release. 'It's been a while for a good old slapstick comedy,' one commented on Instagram, as another agreed, '#TheNakedGun is gonna be great. These three gags in the new trailer have me cackling.' 'Love that it is NOT a remake but a continuation with the next gen of Naked Gun and who knew Liam could be so damn funny,' another chimed in, as one wrote, 'This movie looks hella funny bringing back memory's can't wait.' 'The tone feels right lol, if I'm laughing at the trailer then I'm pretty sure I'll be laughing in the film! Nice work,' added yet another. Anderson's role has also got social media in a flurry of excitement, with fans loving the return of her blonde bombshell persona. 'I love the Pamela Anderson Renaissance!' one wrote on Instagram, as another drew parallels to her role in the 90s comedy VIP, writing, 'It seems Pamela Anderson is digging back into her V.I.P Vallery Irons Humour / acting days with this role. I love it.' 'Yes Pammyï¸�. we love to see her natural comedic skills,' read another comment, with on fan echoing, 'Pam is a perfect casting choice. She's so funny and such a babe!!' The first film, The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! was released in 1988, with its sequel The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear premiering in 1991. The third film, Naked Gun 33â…': The Final Insult was released in 1994. All three films combined cost around $US65 million to make but raked in almost half a billion dollars at the box office. The latest instalment is directed by Akiva Schaffer and produced by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane.

Democracy dies in Romania
If the vote in the first round goes the wrong way, cancel the second round. If the 'wrong' candidate is still likely to win the rescheduled election, then detain him before he can register to stand and then ban him. Then hold the election again, this time with a stronger 'independent' candidate who with media support can defeat the ally of the 'wrong' but more popular candidate you have banned. This is exactly what has happened in Romania. Democratic? Well, if it happened in an 'official enemy' country, we can be sure 'centrists' would be falling over themselves to denounce it. But when it happens in an EU or Nato member state, in the immortal words of Leslie Nielsen in The Naked Gun, it's a case of 'Nothing to see here!'.
