Horror Movies That Make You Glad You’re Single

New DVD release
It’s a rough time of year out there. Despite what commercials, candy companies, and even the occasionally cagey internet listicle tells you, February isn’t the most romantic month of the year. In fact, for many folks, it’s just a cold, short 28 days with a Singles Awareness celebration wedged smack dab in the middle. Of course that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. There are many reasons why being single is the ideal lifestyle for some; and to others, a respite after things went wrong. And the horror movie genre is nothing if not deluged with stories about how…

New Dick Tracy Movie Once Again Teased by Warren Beatty in Bizarre Fashion

New DVD release
Warren Beatty’s 1990 Dick Tracy movie holds a special, nostalgic place in many a fan’s heart. Released the summer after Tim Burton’s Batman kicked off a new wave of Batmania, a level of pop cultural superhero obsession not seen since the original Batmania that followed the 1966 TV series, Dick Tracy was supposed to be the next big franchise giant, with its all-star cast, larger-than-life villains in grotesque, over-the-top makeup, and a production design meant to recall nothing less than the comic strips that first brought the world’s most famous (non-costumed) detective to life. Hell, it even answered Batman’s Prince…

DC Boss Addresses Snyderverse Netflix Campaign

New DVD release
For the most part, fans have reacted positively to the establishment of James Gunn and Peter Safran as heads of the new DC Studios. But there’s one group of people who look with disappointment at Gunn’s announcement of the upcoming DC Studios slate: fans of the Snyderverse. Although his DC Comics adaptations have been unquestionably divisive, Zack Snyder has garnered a devoted contingent of supporters who have never given up hoping and believing that the Snyderverse would be restored. Since Gunn revealed the latest for DC Studios, Snyder fans have turned away from Warner Brothers and looked to Netflix, that…

How Magic Mike Became the Unlikely Feel-Good Trilogy of Our Times

New DVD release
When Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike was released in 2012, it’s doubtful that anyone knew entirely what to expect. A film about male strippers that was loosely based on the star of the film, Channing Tatum, and his own experiences in the world of stripping seemed unlikely to spawn a sprawling and vocal fanbase—much less the Magic Mike Cinematic Universe (or MMCU for short). But that’s exactly what it did.  From the opening speech and the now famous line of “I think I see some lawbreakers in here,” drawled enticingly by the club’s compere Dallas (Matthew McConaughey), it was pretty clear…

The Best Romantic Comedies of the 21st Century

New DVD release
There are people out there who will tell you they don’t like romantic comedies. These same folks may as well confess that they’re dead inside, with a frozen void replacing where their heart once beat. You shouldn’t be their friend. Romantic comedies are as old as the movies themselves. Generation after generation, audiences have sought out stories about the universal appeal (or agony) of love. And they’ve often wanted to laugh at it. When two characters—typically as photogenic as a camera lens demands—can generate real heat onscreen, and often channel that into knowing humor for the viewer, it’s more tangible…

Your Place or Mine Review: Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher Lack Romantic Chemistry

New DVD release
Early on in Aline Brosh McKenna’s romantic comedy Your Place or Mine, rebranding consultant Peter (Ashton Kutcher) hits the nail on the head about this particular genre of movie: His work is “to teach you to tell a story to other people about you that is better than the story that you tell yourself. Because the stories that we tell ourselves are very limiting.” Rom-coms contain all manner of characters stuck in narratives of their own making: A man who can’t be friends with women (When Harry Met Sally), “always a bridesmaid, never a bride” (27 Dresses), and so forth.…

WandaVision Director Finally Weighs in on Scarlet Witch’s Doctor Strange 2 Arc

New DVD release
Even those of us who liked Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness have to agree: the movie did Wanda dirty. After being relegated to a background character since her introduction in the post-credit sequence of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) finally got her place in the spotlight with WandaVision. In addition to breaking the formal boundaries of the MCU with a series that mirrored new sitcom styles with every episode, WandaVision also reimagined Wanda as a tragic hero, a woman who desperately clings to fantasy as an escape from her merciless reality. So it was…

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Will Fix One of Crystal Skull’s Big Mistakes

New DVD release
Harrison Ford is fairly dismissive of critics of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And he’s not trying to hide it either, as gleaned in his latest profile in The Hollywood Reporter. While chatting with THR’s James Hibberd, the man in the fedora was reminded that some folks were pretty harsh about Indy 4 in 2008. “Where are they now?” Ford apparently retorted. “… I mean, [the critics] were harsh on it, but what are they doing now? I understand, but those were their rules—-not [Steven Spielberg and George Lucas’] rules. They were imposing rules on what…

The Best Romantic Movies on Netflix Right Now

New DVD release
“Netflix and chill.” Future pop culture historians will likely look back and chuckle at that turn of phrase, which in the 2010s signaled a hefty technological shift from the days of “we can put on records.” It also represents the moment when Netflix dominated the zeitgeist for years. It’s an open question whether that dominance will continue after next month since the most popular streaming service is doing away with its password sharing capabilities. But in the meantime, let’s all “Netflix and chill” one last time, especially with Valentine’s Day around the corner. Indeed, this Valentine’s season has a winsome…

Star Wars Finally Solves a Major Prequel Trilogy Mystery About the Clone Wars

New DVD release
This Star Wars article contains spoilers for The Bad Batch. Believe it or not, clones and the concept of clone armies have existed in the Star Wars universe since the very beginning, going all the way back to when old Ben Kenobi made a reference to the legendary Clone Wars in 1977. Back then, this line delivered by Sir Alec Guinness was just a bit of classic George Lucas worldbuilding, an insinuation that the galaxy far, far away was much bigger and had way more history than what you were watching on screen. There was so much more happening out…

Skinamarink and the Many Reddit Theories About Kevin, the Monster, and the Ending

New DVD release
This Skinamarink article contains spoilers. Upon first viewing, it’s easy to see why Skinamarink has sparked so much debate on Reddit forums about its true meaning and what exactly Kevin and Kaylee are experiencing inside their haunted house. There are no clear answers across the film’s challenging 100-minute runtime, just hints as to what happened to Kevin and Kaylee’s missing parents and the identity of the faceless villain who whispers to the children from upstairs. And with the film grain turned all the way up so that you can barely make out what’s happening in the house’s dimly lit hallways…

First Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Reactions Pour In

New DVD release
You’ve got big dreams. You want Marvel. Well, Marvel costs. And right here is where you start paying: in sweat 2023 theater tickets and Disney+ subscription fees. With a divisive Phase 4 of the MCU wrapped and shipped, it’s almost time to clap our eyes on the first of Marvel Studios’ Phase 5 entries: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Paul Rudd reprises his role as the little guy who could, Scott Lang, in a threequel that appears to be taking a tonal diversion. Where both 2015’s Ant-Man and 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp were fun, family-friendly capers that Marvel was…

Which TV or Movie Cop Would You Want To Investigate Your Murder?

New DVD release
Few of us want to face up to the prospect of our actual deaths, which on balance are likely to be undramatic and involve dull phrases like ‘primary hypertension’, ‘ischemic heart disease’ and ‘she really did love Doritos’. Imagining our screen deaths though, is a different matter. On screen, we can expire glamorously. Mid-diamond heist, say, or thrown from the top of the Statue of Liberty, or popping up eviscerated between letters D and F in an alphabet-based serial killer’s magnum opus. These glamorous and exciting screen deaths demand a similarly glamorous and lengthy investigation by a fictional cop of…

AMC Theatres ‘Sightline’ Pricing Strategy Won’t Improve Moviegoing Habits

New DVD release
Few folks these days seem to recall where the term “nickelodeon” originates. While the word is now synonymous with children’s entertainment and the heyday of basic cable television, it once referred to an entirely different medium; it was what folks called going to the movies. At the dawn of the 20th century, and at a moment when indoor exhibition of motion pictures was still considered a novelty, “nickelodeons” were some of the earliest movie houses that flourished in the United States. For a mere five cents per person—or one nickel per ticket—all the wonder of the big screen was yours…

The Best Winter Horror Movies to Watch in the Cold Months

New DVD release
When folks say they love winter, typically they refer to the earliest months of the season, with winter beginning on Dec. 21 in the northern hemisphere. In those early days of holiday cheer, there is something familiar and comforting about the cold. But eventually the bright lights go away, and the wind howls louder. Eventually, all you’re left with is icy darkness. Perhaps that’s why so many of the best horror movies are set during the winter season! Utilizing folks’ fear of barren bleakness, and the tedium of being trapped inside becoming lethal, filmmakers who run the gamut from Stanley…

Star Trek: Picard Showrunner Teases Connection to Original Series Movies

New DVD release
As much as Star Trek promises to boldly go where no one has gone before, the franchise has never been afraid to look back at its past. We’ve seen that in appearances by Janice Rand and Khan Noonien Singh in the movies, cameos from most of the original crew in The Next Generation, and even in reimagined characters in the J.J. Abrams movies, Discovery, and Strange New Worlds. So it isn’t much of a surprise that Star Trek: Picard would bring back the rest of Jean-Luc Picard’s team for the third and final season of the beloved Captain’s adventures. But…

Knock at the Cabin Returns M. Night Shyamalan to His Post-Sixth Sense Glory

New DVD release
This article contains mild Knock at the Cabin spoilers. “Don’t you look away.”  That’s the one command a soon-to-be-executed man makes before he sacrifices himself in an attempt to prevent the apocalypse in Knock at the Cabin, the latest from director M. Night Shyamalan. It’s grim stuff, but nasty, ludicrous premises such as these have become the norm for Shyamalan, especially over the past decade. Ever since the once vaunted director’s Hollywood career stalled with famous flops The Last Airbender and After Earth, Shyamalan has found his footing again with a series of nasties, including the found-footage cheapie The Visit…

M. Night Shyamalan: There’s ‘So Much More’ Than Horror to My Movies

New DVD release
It’s not what you expect to hear when M. Night Shyamalan, the director of films like The Visit and Split, leans over to tell you, “I never think my movies are horror.” He says that even as it’s the genre he’s been tied to ever since a little boy confessed he sees dead people. “That’s where they are in the supermarket, they’re on the horror shelf,” the director admits, “but there’s so much more.” It’s both understandable that Shyamalan’s name is associated with horror and also that he doesn’t exactly see it the same way. The first watch of The…

Skinamarink: How Reddit and an Internet Leak Created a Horror Box Office Hit

New DVD release
Leicester Square, London. A damp Saturday night in January. The Odeon, the largest cinema on the square, shines bright blue, the outside screens projecting images of Na’vi, hoping to entice us to step inside and watch Avatar: The Way of Water. Nearby, another of the large cinemas is covered in posters of Margot Robbie being carried through a blazing party; Damien Chazelle’s Babylon, which cost $90 million to make, is playing there. It’s not too busy—unlike around the corner where something remarkable is happening. A line has formed outside the Prince Charles Cinema, a beloved theater known for spotlighting cult…

Star Trek Movies Ranked From Worst to Best

New DVD release
You’d think there wouldn’t be all that many surprises in a ranking of the various Star Trek movies. Official fan doctrine tends to elevate a select handful of them to the very top (and rightfully so, because when this franchise is great, it’s really great) while dismissing, fairly or unfairly, others. But the reality is, there’s such a wide array of tones across Star Trek films that one fan’s skippable entry is another fan’s favorite (well…most of the time). We chose a panel of our most decorated Starfleet experts to vote on the highs and lows of the Star Trek…
