Underrated Sci-Fi Movies Of The 1980s

New DVD release
While the 1970s was known as a wild, bold, experimental time in modern cinema—which extended to all genres, including science fiction—the 1980s were best known for… well, we don’t know what, exactly. The rise of the erotic thriller, the action superstar, and cookie-cutter safe high-concept star vehicles, perhaps? As for sci-fi, the decade was marked by both undisputed blockbusters, including the Star Wars and Star Trek sequels, Aliens, and E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, as well as some inarguable classics like The Thing, Tron, and Blade Runner. Intriguingly, the more risky ones needed years to find their audience and critical acclaim. At…

Indiana Jones 5: Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Helena is Indy’s Best Partner Since Marion

New DVD release
This article contains all the spoilers for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. “I’m your goddamn partner!” When Marion Ravenwood shouted that declaration over the sounds of a burning bar and a Nepalese winter, she immediately cemented herself as the best companion for Indiana Jones. Sure, he’s been paired with other sidekicks, but none of them have lived up to the standard set by Marion. That is until Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Helena Shaw might seem like a second attempt at the Mutt Williams model from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of…

What Marvel’s Secret Invasion Owes to the British Spy Classics

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers Secret Invasion is not the first time the MCU has dipped its toe into the spy genre; Captain America: The Winter Soldier has been a fan favorite among MCU films since it was released in 2014. But Secret Invasion, a show following not superheroes (Rhodey aside), but human spies and aliens posing as humans, embraces the spy genre more than anything we’ve seen yet. With Russia back in the bad guy role, the show draws on the best spy dramas of the Cold War, and with London featuring quite heavily in its story and the British…

Canceled Star Wars Movie Would Have Broken a Few Franchise Rules

New DVD release
The galaxy far, far away isn’t done with director James Mangold just yet, despite the way his first attempt at making a Star Wars movie went. In 2018, the filmmaker was tapped to write and direct a Boba Fett solo movie, but the project was nixed after the tepid response to Solo: A Star Wars Story sent Lucasfilm back to the drawing board to rethink its movie slate. The studio eventually decided that planned movies starring Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi would instead become streaming series for Disney+. The rest is history. Mangold’s collaboration with Lucasfilm didn’t end there, of…

Indiana Jones 5 Box Office Crash Reveals New Danger for Raiders of Nostalgia

New DVD release
I dug Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It feels appropriate to preface this article with that because so much of the initial critical buzz (including on this site) was negative enough that it colored what I found to be a sweet-natured if flawed farewell to Harrison Ford’s hero—and one with a pretty perfect ending for a franchise film where the lead actor is 80 years old. You can tell it meant something for the star and the character. Yet the age of that star and the increasingly distant legacy he represents should be on many a studio exec’s…

Indiana Jones: The Antikythera, the Ark, and the Fact and Fiction Behind the Movies

New DVD release
Along with Harrison Ford’s iconic character’s exploits cracking whips, globetrotting, wearing a fedora and leather jacket regardless of climate, and — we cannot emphasize this enough — punching Nazis, what turned audiences into voracious fan of Indiana Jones is how the treasure hunter would pursue artifacts that belong in a museum (preferably a museum in the area whence the artifact originated). What we love about Indiana Jones is how the franchise tapped into real-world archaeological discoveries and mysterious artifacts. That tradition absolutely continues with Ford’s fifth and final outing as the adventurer in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.…

The Biggest Box Office Hits and Highest-Grossing Movies of 2023

New DVD release
As has become a common refrain in the post-pandemic years, it’s been a weird time for the movies. The first fiscal quarter of 2023 showed promise, with the box office revealing genuine growth over 2022 in the same time frame. It was still down by about 25 percent from 2019, the last pre-pandemic year, but Hollywood also put out about 25 percent fewer films as then too. Additionally, there was a genuine variety of late winter and early spring hits at that—be it original genre darlings like M3GAN and Cocaine Bear or sequels to popular franchises, such as John Wick:…

The Actors Who Have Played Superman

New DVD release
There are certain expectations that come with playing Superman. They aren’t necessarily fair or easy ones. But a character with a history that spans more than 85 years means that every audience has their own idea of how the Last Son of Krypton should look, sound, and act. The good news is that every major actor to wear the cape in the movies or on TV has been worthy of the role in their own way, each bringing some essential component of the character to the forefront with their performances.  And, of course, now those expectations are going to be…

Is Indiana Jones Really the Villain?

New DVD release
On a rainy, moonless night, the man in the fedora is smiling through bloody teeth. Indiana Jones was always a pulp hero fueled by the nostalgia of George Lucas’ youth; a guy who looks like Charlton Heston in Secret of the Incas (1954), talks like Humphrey Bogart in The Treasure of Sierra Madre (1948), and performs stunts right out of John Ford’s Stagecoach (1939). But this pure old-school romance of yesteryear was never stronger than during the opening moments of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). After the film’s prologue, director Steven Spielberg cuts to a grown up Indiana…

This animated sci-fi anthology features 10 short films from African creators. Per Disney+, Kizazi Moto draws “on uniquely African perspectives to imagine brave new worlds of advanced technology, aliens, spirits, and monsters. This is Africa as…

Hulu New Releases: July 2023

New DVD release
If you’re a fan of true crime documentaries or early millennium classic cartoons then boy does Hulu’s list of new releases have some great news for you! Hulu continues its implicit understanding that streaming services are basically true crime distribution machines this month with a trio of intriguing titles. While it’s not necessarily true crime per se, The Ashley Madison Affair about the notorious dating platform premieres on July 7. That will be followed by Betrayal: The Perfect Husband on July 11, which is based on a compelling podcast of the same name. The Jewel Thief arrives on July 13…

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: July 2023

New DVD release
With its list of new releases for July 2023, Prime Video is going to help you stay safe from the oppressive July sun. Highlighting the Amazon Originals on the TV side this month are two heavy hitters. The first is The Horror of Dolores Roach on July 7. Based on a podcast of the same name, this series could best be described as a modern day Sweeney Todd? Why, you ask? Well you know why. Think about it. Then season 2 of Neil Gaiman adaptation Good Omens premieres on July 28. This season will follow angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and…

Netflix New Releases: July 2023

New DVD release
Do not adjust your phone screen. You are not experiencing deja vu. Netflix’s list of new releases for July 2023 does indeed look quite a bit like last month’s. That’s because the biggest new arrival this month is the conclusion of The Witcher season 3 on July 27. It seems like only 29 days ago that The Witcher season 3 premiered. And that’s because it was! Now Henry Cavill’s arc as Geralt of Rivia is set to officially end with this batch of three episodes. Get ready for the Liam Hemsworth era, Witcher fans. Other Netflix Original series of note…

The Indiana Jones 5 Ending Is a Fitting Send Off for the Hero

New DVD release
This article contains major Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny spoilers. Indiana Jones is a character who invites you to dream about living in the past. This held true even in his inception, with George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Lawrence Kasdan cobbling together the character out of their shared nostalgia for old B-movie serials and adventure flicks from the Golden Age of Hollywood. He would be a rogue who’d stand as tall as they imagined the heroes of Gunga Din did, while also existing in a morally black and white 1930s world where you punched Nazis first and asked…

28 Days Later Sequel Gets an Exciting Update

New DVD release
You know, there didn’t need to be a sequel to 28 Days Later. The influential zombie movie by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland had a pretty definitive ending, with the rage virus seemingly burnt out in the UK and help coming from overseas. But then came the surprisingly solid sequel 28 Weeks Later in 2007, in which director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo told an interesting Gulf War allegory starring Robert Carlyle, Idris Elba, and Jeremy Renner. That’s when we all started asking, “What about 28 Years Later?” We still have a way to go before we hit the 28th anniversary of…

Dune 2 Just Hinted Zendaya’s Chani Could Change Book Lore

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Dune: Part Two (but nothing not already hinted at in the trailer and first film). “This prophecy is how they enslave us!” the ferocious Fremen warrior Chani (Zendaya) proclaims in the new trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two. And though we do not know everyone she declares this to, it’s easy to imagine even the powerful Paul “Muad’Dib” Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) is wincing. “It’s not a prophecy,” he confesses to his lover. “It’s a story.” This tantalizing moment in the second trailer (as well as a few others) suggests the legend that will turn…

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Review: Harrison Ford Can’t Rewind the Clock

New DVD release
“If I could turn back time…” Cher sang in 1989, coincidentally the same year that the last great Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, came out. Rewinding the clock, both literally and figuratively, is very much on the minds of everyone involved in Indy’s fifth and apparently final adventure, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, as an aging Dr. Jones (Harrison Ford, of course) confronts his mortality, his regrets, and the sum total of his life’s accomplishments. So it’s somehow appropriate that the MacGuffin which lures Indy out of his pending retirement for one last globe-trotting…
