One Word of Caution About Free Movie Sites
Yes, watching free movies online can expose you to malware, especially if you use untrustworthy websites. Here’s how malware risks arise and how to stay safe:
- Pop-Up Ads and Fake Play Buttons: Some sketchy streaming sites have ads that appear as “Play” or “Download” buttons. Clicking on these often leads to malicious downloads, fake updates, or redirects to unsafe sites.
- Drive-by Downloads: Some websites can trigger malware downloads automatically just by visiting the page. Outdated browser plugins or software make this even riskier.
- Fake Browser Extensions or Flash Updates: Untrustworthy sites may prompt you to install extensions or update software like Flash. These “updates” can be malware in disguise, giving attackers access to your data.
- Hidden Malware in Video Players: Some sites require downloading a specific “video player” or codec. These are often malware-laden and should be avoided.
How to Stay Safe
- Stick to Trusted Platforms: Use legitimate services like Tubi, Crackle, or Peacock. They’re ad-supported but don’t put you at risk of malware.
- Avoid Unauthorized Streaming Sites: They often generate revenue through intrusive ads or malware, so it’s best to avoid them.
- Install Security Software: Keep antivirus software updated to help block threats if you accidentally visit a risky site.
- Avoid Downloading Software: Legitimate streaming sites don’t ask you to download players or extensions.
In summary, malware is a significant risk on unauthorized streaming sites, so sticking to reputable platforms is the safest choice.
Final Words
Finding movies to watch for free online is easier than ever before. If you’re a parent, you may want to pay special attention to the rating of some of the movies, since many of these websites don’t have a kids section.

A new mural is on display in Midtown Atlanta’s Colony Square — and it’s a “nice time” for it.
Created by artist Hyland Mather, the artwork titled “Nice Time” is a large-scale, three-dimensional mural made entirely from recyclable plastics collected throughout Atlanta and by ALPLA employees.
The installation is a key component of ALPLA’s Plastic Reimagined initiative, designed to demonstrate the principles of the circular economy and the potential of recycled materials.
Describing the vision behind his creation, Mather said, “‘Nice Time’ is about the time we live in. For all of the incredibly challenging obstacles ahead of us, humans are amazing. Right now, despite all of the injustices, protests, and concerns, we still live on a magnificent planet in an awe-inspiring time. This piece is about the moment, with the hope of an even brighter future.”

Photo credit: Aaron Schorch Photography
“‘Nice Time’ was inspired by a Portuguese expression, ‘If you don’t have dogs, you have to hunt with cats,’ which captures the ingenuity and thrift that farmers use in getting a job done even when answers aren’t easy to find,” continued Mather. “Reimagining our relationship with common and necessary materials is part of our responsibility in the world. It’s a Nice Time to wake up, be thankful, and be the change we need to be to help our plane
A celebration took place on June 7th, where attendees gathered for opening remarks from an ALPLA executive and the artist, followed by the completion of the art piece.
The installation will be on display throughout Summer 2024 and aims to inspire the community to see a world where the full value of all objects is utilized.

About OutKast
OutKast is the greatest music group to come out of Atlanta. That is not a question. What is also not arguable is the fact that André “André 3000” Benjamin and Antwan “Big Boi” Patton are largely responsible for the mainstream acceptance of Southern hip-hop.
Since the founding of OutKast on the corner of Headland and Delowe Drive in East Point, Georgia, the rappers have shaped the culture like no other.

Award-winning music producer, acclaimed syndicated radio personality, and philanthropist, Frank Ski, has released Climate Change, a captivating nine-track ambient soundtrack inspired by The Frank Ski Kids Foundation’s (FSKF) unforgettable expeditions across the globe.
The first single to debut from his passion project “Amazon Sunrise (Lovely Day),” was released on Earth Day on his label, Future Sights and Sounds.“For 20 years now, I’ve been taking students worldwide to endangered locations impacted by climate change. During these expeditions, we study the negative effects of climate change on our planet and work through solutions to mitigate the dangers that impact these places. While these places are in peril, they are in many ways still breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable experiences,” shares Frank Ski.
He said that the compositions from Climate Change initially started as journal entries and recordings capturing the sights, smells, and sounds of each location.“The recordings were then turned into an artistic musical homage capturing these majestic places, not just visually, but also through the power of evocative sound.”
Climate Change lis a unique artistic endeavor that takes listeners on a 9-song captivating sonic voyage through diverse landscapes immersing you in the sights and sounds Frank encountered during these scientific expeditions.
The first single, Amazon Sunrise (Lovely Day) opens with the sweet sound of chirping birds captured in the Amazon Rainforest offering a glimpse into the project’s captivating soundscape. A modern interpretation of Bill Withers’ iconic 1977 classic, “Amazon Sunrise (Lovely Day),” is a sonic representation of the promise of a beautiful new day.
“One of The Frank Ski Kids Foundation’s first expeditions was to The Amazon Rainforest. I remember walking through the rainforest one morning with a cup of coffee, marveling at the sights, sounds, and smells of the jungle. As I looked up at the azure sky, the feeling of being there reminded me of a Bill Withers song, ‘Lovely Day,’ so I made a modern-day rendition of the song originally recorded by Withers in 1977.”
On each song, Frank Ski meticulously captures the essence of each visited country and region, documenting his experiences through music. The songs represent a deeply personal unique musical soundscape of his experiences, created with love, reverence, and appreciation for nature, the Earth, and its inhabitants.

Fresh off his RIAA platinum-certified smash hit “Lose Control,” music artist and Georgia native Teddy Swims has signed a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music.
Swims, who released his debut studio album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) via WCM’s sister label, Warner Records, last September, has become a mainstay on the Billboard charts.
On signing with WCM, Teddy Swims shared: “Thrilled to be teaming up with Warner Chappell as my publisher. Songwriting has always been the core of who I am as an artist and it will continue to be. It’s my therapy and having a team behind me that gets that means the world to me. So excited to keep it in house with Warner Music Group and in the family with the best company on the planet! Let’s take over the world gang.”
Teddy Swims (born Jaten Dimsdale) has released music and toured the world since making his debut in 2019. With a unique sound that blends R&B, soul, country, and pop, he got his start performing with a variety of Atlanta-based bands. He went on to gain a following through his cover performances on YouTube after posting a rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You.” He signed a record deal with Warner Records in 2019 and began to release his own original music, including a series of EPs from 2021 – 2022. His third EP, Tough Love, marked his first entrance on the Billboard 200 as an artist and included his hit songs “Love for a Minute” and “911.”
The 31-year-old Georgia native rose to mainstream fame in 2023 as his breakout single “Lose Control” – from I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) – topped the charts and hit number one in the U.S. and the top 10 in multiple countries around the world. Other standout singles from the album – which tells the story of Swims’ own journey of self-discovery – include “Some Things I’ll Never Know” and “The Door.” He has also collaborated with many artists, including Thomas Rhett, Meghan Trainor, Maren Morris, X Ambassadors, and Tiësto. Last year, he sold over 150,000 headline tickets on his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour around the world.
Swims is currently gearing up to go on a sold out global tour including legs in North America, Europe, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. He continues to grow his profile this year and will be performing at esteemed festivals including Osheaga Music Festival (Montreal, Canada), Lollapalooza (Chicago), and Fuji Rock Festival (Niigata, Japan). Swims is currently working on the highly anticipated second part and continuation of his debut album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy.
