Where To Stream Love Actually This Christmas

New DVD release
Is it even Christmas if you haven’t rewatched Love Actually for the twelve-thousandth time? It’s become a yearly tradition for some to revisit this classic Richard Curtis romantic comedy, reminding ourselves of the questionable early noughties fashion, the sometimes problematic storylines, the lobster-heavy nativity play and the image of Bill Nighy as rock has-been Billy Mack grinding his nether regions up against poor, undeserving Michael Parkinson’s face. And, of course, to raise a glass to the late, great Alan Rickman, even though his character is a bit of a wrong’un.  The urge to watch Love Actually became even stronger in…

How Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Solo Shaped the New Willow Series

New DVD release
It’s been 34 years since George Lucas and Ron Howard came together to create the cult fantasy world of Willow. Starring Warwick Davis, the story centers on a young Nelwyn sorcerer who discovers a Daikini baby, setting him on a wild adventure to save the world. Though it didn’t set the box office on fire, it’s gained a huge following in the years since. One of its biggest fans is Jon Kasdan, who’s bringing the hero back in the new Disney+ series named after Davis’ titular hero. In the lead up to its release, Kasdan chatted to Den of Geek…

Ranking the Daniel Craig James Bond Movies from Worst to Best

New DVD release
The Pierce Brosnan era of the James Bond franchise, which started so promisingly with the tough, character-driven GoldenEye (1995), had become more smug, more flippant, and more reliant on visual effects by the time it got to 2002’s Die Another Day with its invisible car and ice palace. But even though his four films were hit-and-miss, Brosnan had fulfilled his duty by bringing Bond into a post-Cold War era where new enemies lurked and the idea of a secret agent was up for debate. With all this in mind, Eon Productions—now run by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, heirs…

The Dark Evolution of Wednesday Addams into a Goth Icon

New DVD release
The Addams Family did not originally have names when created by cartoonist Charles Addams. In fact, it’s debatable whether they were even a family in their original appearances in the pages of The New Yorker! This odd bit of trivia is ironic nearly a century later when each of the core Addams Family members are household names. Through movies and television shows, video games and Broadway musicals, the names of Gomez and Morticia, Pugsley and Fester, live on in the minds of  nearly every child. But perhaps none are more pronounced in the popular imagination than Wednesday Addams, Gomez and…

The Return of Willow and the Answer to the Film’s Biggest Question

New DVD release
Years before his triumphant and game-changing Star Wars trilogy, George Lucas had an idea for a sprawling fantasy story about an aspiring sorcerer and a prophesied hero. But it wouldn’t be until over a decade later that he began to bring that story to life. Starring Return of the Jedi‘s Warwick Davis, the Ron Howard-helmed Willow was an epic fantasy yarn, and although it failed to set the box office on fire, it captured the imaginations of young viewers everywhere. One of them was eight-year-old Jon Kasdan, who still remembers watching the film for the very first time at the…

The Scariest Moments in James Bond Movies

New DVD release
There must be few things more daunting to a filmmaker than taking on the mantle of directing a new James Bond movie. Bond movies are cinema’s equivalent of a Philippe Petit-level highwire balancing act. Over 25 films, fans have carved out an understanding of what they expect from 007. There must be action, adventure, romance, and a dash of comedy. Yet for all the expectations surrounding the world’s most famous secret agent, the recipe isn’t set in stone; in fact, it’s forever evolving. Where once Bond might have been defined by the wry humor and slapstick gags of Roger Moore,…

The Best and Worst Moments of MCU Phase 4

New DVD release
This article contains major MCU spoilers It’s been a wild ride in a post-Thanos world, and in the aftermath of the Blip, it’s a very different Marvel Cinematic Universe. We can’t believe it’s been three years since Avengers: Endgame dusted the Mad Titan, but since then we’ve had everything from multiple Spider-Men to the Multiverse, a black Captain America to a female Thor, Egyptian gods to Celestials, and everything in between.  Without a typical Avengers movie to tie everything together, critics feel Phase 4 of the MCU missed the mark on some levels. Still, we’ve got to hand it to…

Why Cosmo is Important to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy

New DVD release
There’s a new (furry) fan-favorite in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and there are no “bones” about it. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special puts Cosmo the Spacedog where she belongs in the world’s highest-grossing franchise. It’s true that this four-legged friend made their debut all the way back in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, but with a bit of a revamp, she’s poised to have a significant role in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and beyond. Although Cosmo is canonically male in Marvel Comics, she was mistakenly misgendered by Howard the Duck (then voiced by Seth…

The Fabelmans Reveals How Steven Spielberg Sees Us

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for The Fabelmans. You can read our spoiler-free review here. It is not how this type of story is supposed to go. Sam Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle), a lad who is also a thinly veiled portrait of Steven Spielberg’s youth, has been bullied, humiliated, and finally assaulted by his high school’s golden boy, Logan Hall (Sam Rechner). The six-foot-plus gorilla never openly made an Antisemitic jape at Sammy’s expense. But when Logan’s buddy Chad (Oakes Fegley) did, Logan stood there and laughed—and later tried to break Sammy’s nose when the smaller kid stood up for himself. Yet…

The True Story Behind That Amazing The Fabelmans Cameo

New DVD release
This article contains The Fabelmans spoilers. Do you want to meet the greatest film director who ever lived? That would be a loaded question in any context, but it has extra weight in Steven Spielberg’s new release, The Fabelmans. With the film being a semi-autobiographical portrait of the legendary filmmaker’s own adolescent years, the picture feels in many ways like a rare window into meeting the real Spielberg—or at least the Spielberg as imagined in the director’s own head. While the film has a thin layer of artistic license (the main character is named Sammy Fabelman instead of Steven Spielberg,…

James Cameron Is Tired of Answering This One Question About His Movies

New DVD release
In 1991, director James Cameron released Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the most expensive movie ever made. In 1994, Cameron released True Lies, the most expensive movie ever made. In 1997, Cameron released Titanic, the most expensive movie ever made. In 2009, Cameron released Avatar, the most expensive movie ever made. Even if the sequel Avatar: The Way of Water won’t set a similar record when it hits theaters next month, one thing is abundantly clear: James Cameron makes big movies. But if you asked him about his giant-sized movies, the famously cantankerous director would probably take you to task. “I’m…

The Fabelmans: Steven Spielberg Looks at Forces That Made One of the Greatest Filmmakers

New DVD release
The odd thing about The Fabelmans, Steven Spielberg’s thinly fictionalized account of his childhood, adolescence, and family upbringing—the factors that ultimately shaped him into one of our greatest directors—is that it’s not really about Spielberg’s screen avatar, young Sammy Fabelman (played by Mateo Zoryon Francis-DeFord as a little boy and uncanny Spielberg lookalike Gabriel LaBelle as a teenager). For most of its 150-minute running time, the central character is Mitzi, Sammy’s mother, played as a force of nature by Michelle Williams in a towering tour de force performance. Mitzi has an artistic, free-flowing soul and heart, but she’s trapped in…

5 Reasons Planes, Trains and Automobiles Is the Best Holiday Movie Ever

New DVD release
Hollywood has traditionally overlooked Thanksgiving in favor of literally any other holiday. Christmas has thousands of movies, Halloween has hundreds, and Thanksgiving has about two (all numbers rough estimates). Which is a pity! The best Thanksgiving movie, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, is also the best holiday movie. It is a lean, 90-minute film about two men yearning for home. Unconstrained by the tinselly pomp that is de rigueur for the holiday genre, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is at turns side-splittingly funny and throat-tighteningly sad. It’s a masterpiece. If you’re not already familiar with the film, it stars Steve Martin as…

Quentin Tarantino Reveals His Big Problem with Marvel

New DVD release
Quentin Tarantino and Marvel Studios have been linked frequently in the press as of late. It was only a handful of weeks ago when the mercurial auteur behind such classics like Pulp Fiction and Kill Billmentioned, almost as an aside, that a lot of filmmakers are waiting for superhero movies to fail; he’s also been recently asked what comic book property he’d theoretically love to direct and make his own (it’s Marvel’s Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos, by the by); he’s even been prompted to state what is the worst era for Hollywood movies, and his answer was a…

The Addams Family Movies Ranked from Worst to Best

New DVD release
The Addams Family is an icon of happy madness, morbid fun, and macabre amusement. It is as much a sideshow as a franchise, and equal parts parachute, noose, and straitjacket. It was created in 1938 as a series of unrelated single-panel cartoons by Charles Addams, the only cartoonist The New Yorker magazine ever recommended for psychiatric evaluation. So it is a shame we’ll never know what the cartoonist would’ve thought of Tim Burton’s Wednesday, the latest and most promising adaptation of the warped family entertainment for televised consumption in quite some time. Featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, and Luis…

Robert Downey Jr’s One Piece of Advice for Marvel’s Ironheart

New DVD release
While there have been a number of live-action Spider-Men, Batmen, and Supermen within my lifetime, there has only been one Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. helped kickstart the MCU with Iron Man’s origin story in 2008, and brought this genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist to life in a way that very few, if any others could have. The character was growing to be more than just a rich guy with time to kill and money to spare, Tony became a true leader of the Avengers and a mentor to the younger generation of heroes, mostly Spider-Man (Tom Holland). With Tony’s death…

Glass Onion: Daniel Craig’s Biggest Concern for Knives Out Sequel

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Glass Onion and Knives Out. Quick, read these words out loud: “A doughnut hole in the doughnut’s hole. But we must look a little closer. And when we do, we see that the doughnut hole has a hole in its center – it is not a doughnut hole at all but a smaller doughnut with its own hole, and our doughnut is not whole at all!” No matter which part of the world you come from, you probably said those words with the thick drawl of the American South. More specifically, you were probably imitating…
