Solo Writer Admits His Biggest Problem With Star Wars Movie

Few activities are more contentious than talking about Star Wars on the internet. Defenders and detractors seem equally driven to relitigate the merits of every entry, from blockbusters like The Last Jedi to deep cuts like The Battle for Endor. But the most surprising Star Wars critic might be Jonathan Kasdan, co-writer of the divisive Solo: A Star Wars Story. Teaming with his legendary screenwriter father Lawrence — writer of several Star Wars entries, including Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Force Awakens — Kasdan seemed like the perfect choice to take on the origin story of…

RRR: How S.S. Rajamouli Created an Action Movie Phenomenon – Tollywood Style

This article appears in the next issue of DEN OF GEEK magazine. SUBSCRIBE HERE! If you haven’t tuned into the films of S.S. Rajamouli yet, it’s time to get your mind blown. The Indian filmmaker’s cinematic events are outrageously entertaining, filled with eye-popping cinematography and over-the-top action sequences. The spectacle is so over-the-top, in fact, that you’ve got to park your brain way outside the theater. Heck, give your keys to the valet with a fat tip, or else Rajamouli’s flagrant disregard for the laws of physics might offend you. But if you can suspend your disbelief for a few hours, you’re in…

Smile Director: Ending ‘Purposefully’ Leaves Room for Sequel

This article contains spoilers for Smile. Every year brings us at least one horror sleeper hit that no one saw coming, and in 2022 Smile is probably the top contender for that title. Released on Sept. 30, the debut horror feature from writer/director Parker Finn has earned an astounding $216 million worldwide as of press time, whic his against a budget of just $17 million. This means Paramount Pictures execs have been grinning ear-to-ear about this movie ever since its arrival (the movie is now available to stream on Paramount+ and to purchase on digital, with a physical Blu-ray, Ultra…

Love Actually: Ranking Every Storyline By Romanticness

Ah, Love Actually. It’s the convoluted Christmas movie of choice for many of us year after year, and we love it despite its many flaws, which have only grown in number as we’ve become more aware of things like the Bechdel test, how unfunny fat jokes are and that not all relationships are between heterosexual white people.  As romcoms go, Love Actually is certainly ambitious, telling nine different stories over the course of two hours, which makes it even more unbelievable that Richard Curtis originally wanted there to be a whopping fourteen storylines.  The ones that made the cut range…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Trailer: The Song, Adam Warlock, High Evolutionary, Gamora, and More!

The first trailer for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has arrived, and it’s more of the same. If by “the same” you mean more of James Gunn bringing more psychedelic color and rad tunes than should be allowed by law to the MCU, not to mention VFX that look a bit more weighty than some of the drab affairs some of the recent Marvel movies have been. But there’s also some real “last ride for the Guardians” vibes here, and we’re bracing for some heartbreak when the movie arrives in May. Oh yeah, and it also introduces at…

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Trailer Brings Back Raiders of the Lost Ark Villains

“Indy, we’re home.” That’s a line not uttered by John Rhys-Davies’ Sallah in the first trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, but it might as well be. The legacy sequel directed by James Mangold seems to want to scratch the same nostalgia itch as Harrison Ford‘s return as Han Solo in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But in the fifth Indy flick, it’s not Ford’s character announcing his triumphant comeback but his trusty companion encouraging him to take up the whip once again. One must imagine that when Dr. Jones does put on his iconic hat…

Violent Night Review: David Harbour’s Santa Is Naughty and Nice

It’s no secret that folks love to watch Santa Claus break bad. Despite being literally called “Father Christmas” in some cultures, this often rosy-cheeked symbol of generosity from childhood eventually becomes many an adult’s favorite villain: the crazed serial killer with an ax in Silent Night, Deadly Night; or the drunkard who urinates on himself at the mall in Bad Santa. While some of those movies are better than others (namely the first Billy Bob Thornton iteration of a Yuletide lush), all of them seem to forget that, deep down, we still want to believe that Santa and the season…

Hulu New Releases: December 2022

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And with its list of new releases for December 2022, Hulu is planning accordingly. Compared to its rival streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and HBO Max, Hulu is a bit more holiday forward in the final month of 2022. Sure, all the streaming services are bringing some Christmas content to the table, but Hulu is the only one to plant its flag in a special called It’s a Wonderful Binge. This comedic take on a psychedelic Purge-like Christmas is set to premiere on Dec. 8. Elsewhere on Hulu this month, subscribers…

It’s almost the end of another year…another grueling, relentless, shuffle around the pitiless sun. But before that: more content! HBO Max’s list of new releases for December 2022 is filled with a handful of exciting original TV series. December 2022 truly is TV’s time to shine on HBO Max.

Adapting The Amber Spyglass, this season promises to be the most action-packed yet for the BBC/HBO fantasy collaboration. December 8 sees the arrival of…

Disney+ New Releases December 2022

2022 was a big year for Disney+, featuring Marvel hits like Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law and Star Wars blockbusters like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor. In the last month of the year, however, the streamer is switching things up a bit. Disney+’s list of new releases of December 2022 is a smooth, subdued ride with no franchise tentpoles to be found. The closest thing Disney+ has this month to a big TV original is National Treasure: Edge of History on Dec. 9. A spinoff of the Nicolas Cage film series, this show will follow Jess Valenzuela (Lisette Olivera) as she…

It’s almost the holiday season, which means that millions of travelers will soon find themselves in distant family members’ living rooms while Netflix blares on the TV. What Netflix shows and movies will be featured on those television sets? We now have a better idea as Netflix has released its list of new releases for December 2022. It’s safe to say that movies are set to dominate this month. There is the usual holiday fare like Scrooge: A Christmas Carol on Dec. 2 but overall Netflix looks to be trying to end the year strong with some big ticket titles.…

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: December 2022

It’s been a big year for Prime Video. From The Boys season 3 to The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power to even the terrible games presented on Thursday Night Football, there were many hits to satisfy Jeff Bezos’ bottom line. How is the Amazon streamer planning on closing out 2022? Why, with another potential hit, of course! Amazon Prime Video’s list of new releases for December 2022 is highlighted by the return of an old favorite. Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan season 3 premieres all eight episodes on Dec. 21. This time around John Krasinki’s CIA analyst will…

The Best Christmas Movies to Kick Off Your Holiday Season

Christmas is a time marked by tradition. For every family that celebrates the rituals are different, yet some things are close to universal: a tree strung in lights and ornaments; a house shining bright; and perhaps a candle in every window. Plus, there are the movies. Christmas movies are as ubiquitous as ornaments these days, with streaming services like Netflix turning them into a virtual cottage industry. However, we all have our own personal favorites that tend to be made of longer lasting stuff–the kind that are almost their own ritual we revisit every new Yuletide season. Below our staff…

The Internet Still Hates Chris Pratt as Mario in the New Trailer

Once upon a time, animated movies did not rely on big name celebrities and movie stars to fill out its voice acting ranks. Who but the most diehard Disney fans—or Broadway aficionados—knows for instance that Jodie Benson is the voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid? That Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd were voiced by the same guy? That Walt Disney paid Adriana Caselotti little better than scale for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and didn’t even credit her for her work?! Those days are long gone, as the latest The Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer just reminded us. The…

Scooby-Doo Star Reveals Behind the Scenes Drama

At the beginning of 2002’s Scooby-Doo, the Gang encounters their worst nightmare. No, not the Luna Ghost nor any of the other spookies they’ve uncovered in their long career as Mystery Incorporated. Rather, the movie begins with the Gang breaking up. Of course, by the end of the movie, the team has reunited and put their differences besides them. Realizing that they work best as a team, the quintet learns how to share the glory. But in real life, the situation was far more fraught. In a recent interview with Esquire Magazine, Freddie Prinze Jr., who played team leader Fred…

New Miles Morales Costume Leaked in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Merchandise

Despite its dubious origin, Spider-Man’s black costume has proven to be a fan-favorite. The suit officially debuted in 1984’s Amazing Spider-Man #252, and was explained a few months later in Secret Wars #8. Although created by a fan who sold the design to Marvel Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter in 1982, the suit became canon when Shooter and new partners Mattel wanted to sell two versions of their Spider-Man action figure. This crass beginning opened new storytelling possibilities for Spider-Man, with the suit being featured in legendary stories such as “Kraven’s Last Hunt” and in Venom, one Spidey’s best antagonists. More importantly,…

Super Mario Bros. Movie Trailer: The Biggest Nintendo Easter Eggs and Callbacks

Nintendo and Universal Pictures has finally delivered the big trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and this time it’s more than just two scenes and a stinger. We finally have something else to talk about besides Chris Pratt’s questionable Mario voice acting! Now we get to see Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, some kart-driving action, and Luigi doing more than just screaming for his life (well, not MUCH more). We definitely have a better look at what this movie has to offer and with this broader scope comes plenty of easter Eggs. Mario has been in so many games, and…

David Harbour’s Santa Claus Sees Red in Violent Night: “He Doesn’t Have the Spirit of Christmas”

This article appears in the next issue of Den of Geek magazine. Subscribe here! He sits alone at a bar, downing ale and liquor like they’re milk and cookies. For scenes of a watering hole on Christmas Eve, this isn’t an unusual sight—either for the onscreen proprietor, who’s used to disheveled mall Santas this time of year, or for audiences who know what a naughty St. Nick looks like. Yet the trick about David Harbour’s world-weary Father Christmas in the upcoming movie Violent Night is he’s not a bad Santa. He’s a good Santa who feels bad about the Christmas…

Returning to a beloved fictional world is one of the best feelings we can have as fantasy fans. In the new Disney+ series Willow, we’re getting to do just that as showrunner Jon Kasdan continues the story established in George Lucas and Ron Howard’s delightful dark fantasy from 1988.
