Transformers Review: Rise of the Beasts Learned Some Lessons from Bumblebee & Michael Bay

New DVD release
When it comes to the Transformers franchise, one tends to grade on a curve: “Well, this one wasn’t as bad as Revenge of the Fallen…” or “That one was a little better than Age of Extinction…” When at least four of the seven films in a franchise are all but unwatchable, damning with low expectations is where we end up. With the seventh and latest film, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, one might say, “Well, it wasn’t as good as Bumblebee…” but in this case, that doesn’t instantly spell doom. Rise of the Beasts is easily the best movie in…

How Cliffhanger Achieved That Terrifying Opening Scene Despite Tensions On Set

New DVD release
It would be easy to dismiss Cliffhanger as little more than a fun riff on the Die Hard formula, with the action switching from the heights of Nakatomi Plaza to the Colorado Rockies. After all, the film largely pits Sylvester Stallone’s Gabe Walker—often wearing little more than a t-shirt on the mountain in place of John McClane’s vest—against a crack team of international terrorists led by John Lithgow, who is in deliciously deranged form as a psychotic military intelligence expert turned thief. The comparisons are not helped by the fact that Cliffhanger arrived at a time when the Die Hard…

Mark Hamill Gives His Verdict on Luke Skywalker’s Future in Star Wars

New DVD release
2019’s The Rise of Skywalker marked the close to the nine-part epic about Anakin Skywalker, his children Luke and Leia, and Rey, who isn’t related but decided to take up the name at the end of the Sequel Trilogy. But even as young Anakin mused upon the problems with sand and Rey did Force Facetime calls with Kylo Ren, for many fans, Luke Skywalker remained the de facto main character of Star Wars, thanks to his starring role in the best of the three movie trilogies. It’s one of the reasons why Lucasfilm has been so keen on digitally resurrecting…

The Best Courtroom and Lawyer Movies Ever

New DVD release
Courtroom movies tend to have a winning formula that appeals to our sense of justice. We never want to see innocent people sent down for crimes they didn’t commit, so a reliable story can usually be built around the process of defending unlucky characters in a court of law. But because so much of that drama transpires on a single set, making a really good courtroom movie requires certain elements to work spectacularly. You’ll need a great, charismatic lawyer whose life, career, or reputation depends on winning the case. Then there are your defendants, who must be at least a…

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Is Beating Marvel Studios at the Multiverse Game

New DVD release
One of the constant refrains in Sony Animation’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) was that “anyone can be Spider-Man.” That might be true, but there is only one Miles Morales, and folks cannot seem to get enough of him in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. This visually dazzling sequel to 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which in its own day was heralded as a game-changer, is an absolutely breathtaking achievement in the superhero genre and American animation as a whole. It also has wowed audiences and critics in equal measure, earning the coveted “A+” CinemaScore from audiences surveyed by the industry…

Marvel Confirms Captain America 4’s Name Change With Set Photo Reveal

New DVD release
The New World Order has fallen. We’re now in a Brave New World. Since the announcement of a fourth Captain America film, with Anthony Mackie‘s Sam Wilson in the lead, fans have had one nagging concern: that subtitle. To the uninformed, there’s nothing terribly wrong with Marvel calling its movie Captain America: New World Order. After all, the movie will deal with the Leader (Tim Blake Nelson, reprising his role as antagonist Samuel Sterns from 2008’s The Incredible Hulk) and the Serpent Society establishing a secret government, causing trouble on the world stage. However, the phrase has been used by…

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Theory Reveals the Sequel’s Big Villains

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers They say that two heads are better than one, but when it comes to 2024’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse sequel, it could be a case of six heads are better than one. A wild theory has emerged that the infamous Sinister Six will be the big bads of Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, and if you were watching Across the Spider-Verse closely, the lineup could’ve been hiding in plain sight. Across the Spider-Verse cast Jason Schwartzman’s Spot as the main villain, but alongside a smorgasbord of Spider-People, you might’ve spotted Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus, Donald Glover’s live-action…

Movie Sequels That Are Better Than the Original

New DVD release
Sequels are practically as old as cinema, with the very first thought to be The Fall of a Nation (1916), a cheapie knockoff/follow-up to the incredibly racist The Birth of a Nation from a year earlier. Ever since Hollywood has been keen to cash-in on sequels and ongoing sagas. Before the term “movie franchise” was even a glint in a studio executive’s eye, MGM was churning out high-quality Thin Man movies at MGM throughout the 1930s and ‘40s while Universal was introducing us to both Dracula’s Daughter (1936) and Son of Frankenstein (1939). One must wonder why the studio never…

The 1950s Lord of the Rings Movie That J.R.R. Tolkien Absolutely Hated

New DVD release
All of the English-language screen versions of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings came out after J.R.R. Tolkien passed away in 1973, so we’ll sadly never know what he might have thought of them. But things were nearly quite different. In the late 1950s, Tolkien and his publishers seriously considered a proposal for an animated film, which even got to the script stage before the project was eventually scrapped. In 1957, Tolkien was approached by an American film agent, Forrest J. Ackerman, about a proposed animated film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings. Early on, Tolkien was…

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse Release Date Is Good and Bad News for Fans

New DVD release
This article contains Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse spoilers Even if you know going in that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s story will conclude in a later movie, it’s still frustrating when those end credits roll. When we leave Miles Morales at the end of the film, he has discovered that he was never supposed to be a Spidey. He’s an outlier in the grand Marvel multiverse, having been bitten by a radioactive spider from another universe. As a result, that universe (Earth-42) went on to have no Spider-Man at all, and its own Miles turned into The Prowler, perhaps due to…

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Has a Really Cheeky Marvel Retcon

New DVD release
This article contains Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse spoilers Sony is giving the Marvel Cinematic Universe a run for its money, and much like there’s no stopping the ever-expanding multiverse, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has weaved a complex web of Spider-People into the lives of Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld).  While Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU) struggles to find where it fits alongside the MCU, Across the Spider-Verse brings us one step closer to a unified Spider-Family. We’re a far cry from those feuds between Disney and Sony – where it looked like Tom Holland’s wall-crawling hero would…

The Scariest Beach Movies (That Aren’t Jaws)

New DVD release
Around this time every year, I tend to enjoy putting on Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. In this household it’s as annual a hallmark of summer as warm breezes, smoking meat on the barbecue, and blasts of chlorine water. However, it is too easy to fall into the trap of thinking Spielberg had the first and last word in the sounds of shrieking at the beach. In truth, there are many great summertime chillers that make your blood run cold, and the sand turn to ice between your toes, no matter how hot the temperature is. Hence why we here at Den…

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s Most Surprising Cameo Just Changed Marvel Canon

New DVD release
This article contains Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse spoilers. There was an audible gasp during my press screening of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. As has become common practice when watching a superhero movie, the entire audience sat glued to their seats throughout the long rolling credits for producer Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s follow-up to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018). Obviously, we were waiting for a post-credits stinger, as is the genre’s wont ever since Samuel L. Jackson first showed up rocking an eyepatch in Iron Man 15 years ago. And yet, when the credits finished scrolling, there remained only darkness—and…

15 Action Movies That Were Ahead of Their Time

New DVD release
An action movie is created to excite and wow us, taking the audience on a rollercoaster ride to see if and how our protagonist — who may or may not be much of a hero — survives amid pure chaos. It’s also a genre that often strives to top itself. Many of our favorite films have found new ways to raise the bar, whether it be through the storytelling, cast, or sequences that completely change the game. Den of Geek is celebrating 15 movies that looked forward, whether they were celebrated in their day as innovators or have been finally…

Spider-Man 4 Movie Update Leaves No Way Home Sequel With Uncertain Future

New DVD release
The MCU may have forgotten about Peter Parker, but our universe has not. Ever since the ambitious Spider-Man: No Way Home ended by tying up dangling plot points for previous Spider-Men Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield and giving Tom Holland‘s Spidey a new old status quo, fans have been waiting to see where the wall-crawler will swing to next. But according to Holland, they may have to wait a bit longer. Speaking on the press tour for his most Apple TV+ series The Crowded Room, Holland acknowledged that he and others have paused work on a fourth Spider-Man movie to…

Harrison Ford Finally Has a Definitive Answer for Blade Runner’s Biggest Mystery

New DVD release
I’m going to ask you a series of questions. Just relax and answer them as simply as you can. It’s your birthday, someone gives you a calfskin wallet. You’ve got a little boy, he shows you his butterfly collection, plus the killing jar. For years, Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford had very different ideas about how Deckard, the character Ford played in Scott’s 1982 movie Blade Runner, would respond to those questions/statements. After all, they come from the Voight-Kampff Test, an examination of empathy used to distinguish between human beings and replicants, the artificially created organic beings that Blade Runners…

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Review: Swings Higher Than Any Live-Action Spidey

New DVD release
Spider-Man is for the young. This has of course been the character’s eternal and multigenerational appeal. The last live-action flick with the Web-Head even made $2.6 billion simply by having the Spider-Man for every kid who grew up in the past 25 years on screen at once. Still, that acutely youthful quality was on my mind more than usual while watching Sony Animation’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. For more than any other film about the wallcrawler to date, in animation or live-action, this film understands the anxieties and ecstasies which inform Spidey’s power fantasy. That is all the more remarkable,…

HBO and Max New Releases: June 2023

New DVD release
HBO Max is no more. In its place are…HBO and Max. Warner Bros. Discovery’s big change to its premier streaming service was simply to take the “HBO” off of the name “HBO Max,” leaving just “Max.” But in announcing its list of new releases for Max in June 2023, Warner is highlighting all of the HBO content anyway. So here is everything you can expect to find on Max (including every new HBO show) this month. Even though June 2023 is the first full month of Max’s existence without the helpful “HBO” modifier in front of it, literally all of…

Hulu New Releases: June 2023

New DVD release
It’s summer time on Hulu and that can only mean one thing. With its list of new releases for June 2023, Hulu is bringing back last summer’s unexpected hit. FX’s The Bear season 2 premieres all episodes on June 22. If you’re not already captivated by this intense culinary story about the little Italian beef shop that could, definitely catch up now. This time around, Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and friends will attempt a major foodie rebrand. The only other Hulu series of note this month is the docuseries The Age of Influence. Premiering on June 5, this doc will…
