65 and Dinosaur Movies Need to Move Past Jurassic Park

New DVD release
This article contains 65 spoilers. 65 is a movie about aliens crash landing on Earth during the age of the dinosaurs. Except that the aliens look an awful lot like they come from Earth, and the dinosaurs… don’t. The dinosaurs presented in writer-directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods’ film might have some recognizable body parts, and some may even bear a passing resemblance to a few of the bigger names from the My First Dinosaur book you had as a kid, but for the most part, the giant killer reptiles we see in that movie are monsters, nothing more, and…

How Steven Spielberg’s Love of James Bond Led to Indiana Jones

New DVD release
Picture if you will, a world in which someone would say no to Steven Spielberg. After all, the guy changed cinema with 1975’s Jaws, creating the summer blockbuster, earning tons of money, and getting a Best Director nomination. But that’s exactly what happened, several times when Spielberg begged producer Cubby Broccoli to let him make a movie about his childhood hero, James Bond. But after numerous rejections, Spielberg’s best bud George Lucas came to him with another idea: a movie about an adventurer called Indiana Jones. Spielberg’s James Bond Mission It’s no surprise that Spielberg loves James Bond. As anyone…

Hidden Gem Sci-Fi Movies on Netflix

New DVD release
With Netflix constantly pushing their latest originals and newly acquired blockbusters on subscribers’ feeds, it’s becoming harder and harder to go off the beaten path to find less mainstream, underrated sci-fi titles to stream. Here are a few hidden sci-fi gems to type into the search bar if you’re looking for something you aren’t likely to find on your Home Screen doom scroll. *Editor’s Note: All movies are available in U.S. and UK unless otherwise stated. The Block Island Sound A mysterious threat from the ocean deep—or perhaps somewhere even more nebulous—growls ominously in the background of The Block Island…

Wonka Trailer Recalls a Joke From Tropic Thunder and Not in a Good Way

New DVD release
One of the best gags in Ben Stiller’s still infamous Tropic Thunder occurs before the credits and even the studio’s title card. Because in 2008, there was at least half a minute where audiences believed they were watching real trailers and commercials for the popular genres of that time: action movie franchises which were long in the tooth; gross-out PG-13 comedies with aging movie stars; and the type of heavy-handed message Oscar bait that would’ve totally caused protests at the multiplex when Robert Downey Jr. made out with a post-Spider-Man Tobey Maguire. The sequence is still funny, even as the…

Superman: Legacy and What It Takes To Be a Great Onscreen Man of Steel

New DVD release
As you’d expect, the internet went nuts recently with the news that James Gunn had found his Superman and Lois in David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan. Some of the comments were from people upset that Henry Cavill wouldn’t be returning to the role after his brief cameo in Black Adam, and others were grinding their personal axes, but most seemed pretty positive about the casting. But if you pay attention, you’d notice a theme in the responses, best captured in this Reddit post: Comment by u/RomanReignsDaBigDawg from discussion ‘Superman: Legacy’: James Gunn Taps David Corenswet And Rachel Brosnahan For Clark…

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One Review: Tom Cruise Hits New Heights

New DVD release
Is Tom Cruise the last movie star? That’s a topic that’s been debated over the last few years, but if the definition of a movie star includes delivering for audiences exactly what they want and need, then Cruise can arguably make the strongest case out of any filmmaker working today. And all the while, through his many cinematic triumphs (and a fair number of misfires) he’s been painting his masterpiece. The Mission: Impossible series is that great labor. The franchise may have started out as a relatively unassuming action/spy thriller based on a creaky 1960s TV show, but it has…

Napoleon Trailer Reminds You How Great It Is Ridley Scott Still Makes Historical Epics

New DVD release
Joaquin Phoenix is Napoleon Bonaparte. We admit it’s a bit of a strange idea given the absolute lack of je ne sais quoi energy (or French accent) that comes to mind when you think of the American actor. Nevertheless, in the first trailer for Ridley Scott’s Napoleon biopic, there is something undeniably intriguing about the performance, not least of which because this is a chance to see Phoenix work with Scott again in a sprawling historical context. Indeed, the first and last time the pair collaborated was Gladiator, the film that won Scott a Best Picture Oscar and garnered Phoenix…

Hugh Jackman’s Deadpool 3 Suit Gives Us the Wolverine We’ve Always Wanted in New Set Pic

New DVD release
“What would you prefer, yellow spandex?” When James Marsden’s Cyclops delivered that line in 2000’s X-Men, we all got the joke. The yellow spandex sported by Wolverine and other members of Marvel’s Merry Band of Mutants could never look cool in a live-action movie, which is why the black leather costumes made more sense. But even the most understanding movie-goer couldn’t help but feel a slight pang at the quip. “Yeah,” we thought to ourselves. “We would prefer Wolverine in yellow spandex.” According to a recently-released photo from Deadpool 3, fans are finally getting their wish. We’ve long known that…

First Barbie Reactions Pour In

New DVD release
Barbie may have started as a simple toy in 1959, but she quickly branched out into a plethora of careers. Doctor, airline pilot, painter: Barbie’s done it all. But while numerous film franchises have entered the world of Barbie, the doll herself has thus far been relegated to direct to video and streaming features, starting with Barbie in the Nutcracker in 2001 and all the way through Barbie: Skipper and the Big Babysitting Adventure earlier this year. But with the release of 2023’s Barbie, the multifaceted woman finally gets to the big screen, thanks to director Greta Gerwig and stars…

The League of of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Movie That Ended Sean Connery’s Career

New DVD release
Few movie stars ever reach the global icon status that Sean Connery enjoyed. In his youth he was the face of arguably the first modern film franchise, James Bond. The experience took him around the globe and laid the groundwork for a career where even into his 60s, no less than Steven Spielberg would say Connery remained one of “only seven genuine movie stars in the world today.” His roles are the stuff of legend: Bond, Jimmy Malone, Professor Henry Jones, Major General Urquhart, Robin Hood, and many more. Yet few folks ever talk about the last cinematic role of…

15 Great Movies That Spawned Terrible Sequels

New DVD release
It’s often claimed that good things come in threes, but try telling that to anyone who sat through the Big Momma’s House trilogy. Film sequels, in essence, are nothing new in Hollywood—the very first sequel came back in 1916 with the silent film The Fall of a Nation, Thomas Dixon Jr.‘s follow-up to D. W. Griffith’s jaw-droppingly racist epic, Birth of a Nation. However, the concept only became commonplace in the 1970s when a string of follow-ups to successful dramas made waves at the box office. The Godfather, Part II, Rocky II, and The French Connection II were among the…

Upcoming Sci-Fi Movies in 2023

New DVD release
It’s been a mixed bag for sci-fi movie fans so far in 2023, with the likes of The Flash, 65, Ant-Man 3, and even the time-traveling Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny all underwhelming at the box office, but there’s so much more to come this year from the realm of science fiction, both in theaters and via streaming, and we’ll be updating you with all the shiny newness as it gets announced right here. Whether you’re after something more cerebral or some glorious, galaxy-threatening action, there’s bound to be a project or two waiting for you on the…

The Best Movies of 2023 (So Far)

New DVD release
Halfway through 2023, and the ever enthusiastic claim that “the movies are back” remains more of an aspiration than a matter of dollars and cents. 2023 was hyped by Hollywood and distributors as the first real post-pandemic year, one where the crippling effects of 2020 would finally melt away on both output and (hopefully) attendance. However, 2023’s remained a mercurial year in its own right. While the spring saw an impressive number of lower and middle budget movies hit, including even a few non-franchise originals (although most of them were horror), the beginning of the year was still down about…

New Deadpool 3 Set Photos Reveal First Look at New Costume

New DVD release
Ever since Disney bought 20th Century Fox in 2019, we’ve known that Deadpool would be coming to the MCU. But that arrival raised many questions about integrating the famously crass anti-hero into the decidedly PG-13 MCU, which only just had its first f-bomb in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Deadpool fans feared that Kevin Feige would tame the Merc With a Mouth, diminishing the subversive joy of the 2016 hit and its 2018 sequel. But if the first photos from Deadpool 3 are any indication, fans have little to worry about. A report from Mirror included pictures of Ryan…

Secret Invasion Is Finally Redeeming Iron Man 3

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers As Kyle Bradstreet’s Secret Invasion reaches its halfway point, the spy series is surprising us in more ways than one. It’s not just the shocking death of Emilia Clarke’s G’iah and the well-signposted reveal that Don Cheadle’s James “Rhodey” Rhodes is a Skrull that make Episode 3 worth a watch. Somehow, Secret Invasion has done the almost unthinkable and made us reconsider Iron Man 3.  Up there with Alan Taylor’s Thor: The Dark World and (more recently) Chloé Zhao’s Eternals, Shane Black’s 2013 threequel is often held as one of the ‘worst’ Marvel Cinematic Universe movies.…

11 Movies That Really Are Better Than the Book

New DVD release
While it may feel a little blasphemous to admit, sometimes the book just isn’t better than the movie. And that’s really okay. Both authors and directors tell stories using the tools they have available in their medium. A perfectly turned phrase can be just as emotional as a beautifully framed shot in the right hands, and sometimes a filmmaker’s choices perfectly align with the author’s sensibility, bringing fan fave characters to vivid life. However, the best movie adaptations can often transform the source material into a nearly unrecognizable vision. When this happens, it may still authentically express the original soul…

Joker: The Actors Who Have Played the Clown Prince of Crime in the Movies

New DVD release
Midway through the first big budget Batman film in 1989, Jack Nicholson’s Joker takes a moment to pout. The title character has just run off in the Batmobile while Mistah J stands by stunned and dejected. Finally he even laments, “Where does he get those wonderful toys?” The irony of this scene is that, sure, the Batmobile is cool (especially that model), but for generation after generation, the man in the purple suit is always the one audiences savor playtime with. Whether it’s Nicholson hamming it up for ‘80s audiences, Heath Ledger vamping like a rock star from hell, or…

Indiana Jones 5 Director Defends the Movie’s Divisive Ending

New DVD release
This post contains spoilers for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Indiana Jones gets punched in the face. That’s how director James Mangold decided to end Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the fifth and final movie about the adventurous archaeologist. For some, the ending is the ultimate sign of disrespect, in which a broken Indy begs to be left in the past with Archimedes, only to get knocked out and dragged to the present by his goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge). Others found it to be a bit of a stretch, taking Dr. Jones out of his element…

Frank Sinatra Starred in the Die Hard Prequel You Probably Never Saw

New DVD release
Die Hard is an unquestioned action masterpiece. Thanks to revelatory performances by both Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman, plus John McTiernan’s assured direction, Die Hard still has the power to awe and entertain even decades after its release. Few can say the same about the sequels, but what about the Die Hard prequel, The Detective? Oh, you’ve never heard of a Die Hard prequel? Well, that could be because the 1968 Frank Sinatra vehicle The Detective is based on the 1966 novel by the same name, written by Roderick Thorp. And in 1979, Thorp published a sequel to The Detective…

Indiana Jones and the Other Worst Archaeologists in Movie History

New DVD release
Real life archaeology is rarely as exciting as movies make it out to be. It’s a career loaded with dusty tomes, intellectual infighting, and a mad scrabble to earn one of the few spots left for university tenure. A field dig isn’t a thrill ride either. The biggest excitement usually comes from dealing with a country’s military personnel, and licking things to see if they’re rock or bone. If it sticks to your tongue, it’s bone, and you’re probably tasting human remains. Also, to be clear, you will probably never need a gun. Much less a rocket launcher. Setting the…
