The Delicious Appeal of Movies Like The Menu and Glass Onion

New DVD release
This article contains some spoilers for The Menu, Glass Onion, and Triangle of Sadness. There is something incredibly satisfying about watching the super rich fumble. The internet is joyous whenever celebrities make an ill-judged attempt at earnestness (think the infamous pandemic “Imagine” video), and everyone is ravenous over the almost daily faux pas of a certain social media owning billionaire. It seems screenwriters and filmmakers noticed. Recently, there has been a slew of films and TV shows that display rich people and all their foibles so audiences can relish in their demise: The White Lotus, Glass Onion: A Knives Out…

How The Pale Blue Eye Became an Edgar Allan Poe Origin Story

New DVD release
The mystery thriller The Pale Blue Eye stars Christian Bale as renowned detective Augustus Landor as he’s hired to track down a murderer. Though it’s based on a book by Louis Bayard, the narrative is not a true story. However, in Scott Cooper’s movie adaptation, which has landed on Netflix, there are elements of truth, notably around the young man who assists Landor at the military academy he is investigating—one Edgar Allan Poe. Brit Harry Melling (once best known as Harry Potter’s Dudley Dursley, now better known for his outstanding, versatile performances in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and The…

An Ode to the M3GAN Dance Scene: Cool for the Sake of Cool

New DVD release
Before the android horror-comedy M3GAN even premiered on Jan. 6, it was already the stuff of internet legend. Thanks to a revealing trailer of the Blumhouse project about a murderous A.I. doll, the character of M3GAN (Model 3 Generative Android) was injected directly into the meme canon with numerous online posts dedicated to her, let’s say, animated dance style. It didn’t take much. Just one five-second sequence of the blonde-haired, dead-eyed moppet doing a little jig amid a murderous rampage led to a whole thriving ecosystem of Twitter .gifs, Tik Tok tributes, and more. And many of them are great!…

The Most Underrated Movie Gems of 2022

New DVD release
We all have our favorite movies in any given year. The ones we raise up and champion with lofty titles like “Best Picture” or “Movie of the Year.” Sometimes in an attempt to claim that title we can even reach for consensus—or at least toward films we’re confident others have seen. However, there are times we each discover something that doesn’t have an obvious consensus. In fact, sometimes you can fall in love with a movie that it feels like nobody else in the world knows about. Below is a collection of films that members of our staff feel that…

The Pale Blue Eye Explores How Edgar Allan Poe Was Author of the First Detective Story

New DVD release
This article contains minor The Pale Blue Eye spoilers. Based on a novel by Louis Bayard and not true events, director Scott Cooper’s period thriller The Pale Blue Eye imagines a young Edgar Allan Poe, as played by Harry Melling, in the short handful of months he attended West Point Academy as a cadet. By this time, Poe had already published two books of poetry and served in the U.S. Army before matriculating at the military school on the Hudson River. He had not yet invented the detective mystery genre with “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” published in Graham’s…

Underrated Killer Doll Movies to Watch After M3GAN

New DVD release
You know Chucky and Annabelle and Brahms and M3GAN… but do you recall the least famous killer doll of all? Probably not, because then it would be more famous, but you should know more killer dolls! While those aforementioned characters tend to get all the attention, and if you’re reading Den of Geek then you’ve probably seen at least one of the 10,000 Puppet Master movies, there is still a veritable toy store full of pint-sized killers. It’s not hard to see why. On the surface, there’s nothing particularly scary about dolls, even if they come to life. After all,…

Oscars 2023: Frontrunners and Contenders

New DVD release
2023 has barely begun, but Oscar season is already in full swing. That news is typically welcomed with a sense of excitement within the film industry (or at least Film Twitter) and resignation everywhere else. Still, this year feels different. A significant factor going into the main thrust of this year’s awards season is that so many of the conventional contenders—the movies released at the end of the year with starry casts and studio prestige—have failed to find a theatrical audience. While platformed releases slowly unspooling across January, gaining attention and box office with each new nomination, has been part…

The Best Movies Studios Dumped in January

New DVD release
This article contains mild spoilers Ah, January. A fresh year, a chance to start again, with resolutions restored and hope renewed everywhere! Well, almost everywhere. If you go to the theater, you’ll likely find holdovers and awards favorites released in the final months of the previous year; the respectable stuff that does well around Oscar season. But the new offerings tend to be pretty dire. That’s when studios release dreck like the re-Heated Pacino/De Niro team-up Righteous Kill or dorm room staple The Boondock Saints. As the fine folks at Red Letter Media so eloquently point out, January is the…

Don Cheadle Assures Fans He Didn’t “Aunt Viv” MCU Actor

New DVD release
For the first three seasons, Janet Hubert played “Aunt Viv” on The Fresh Prince of Bell-Air, dealing out wisdom to Will Smith’s Philadelphia transplant. Aunt Viv remained a constant on the show, but starting with season four, Daphne Maxwell Reid stepped into the role, giving pop culture enthusiasts a new term for sudden recastings. But to actors who replace other actors, the term “Aunt Viv” might have negative connotations. At least, that’s the impression viewers get when watching Don Cheadle‘s reaction during an interview with GQ. “It’s famously known online how you ‘Aunt Viv’d’ Terrance Howard for the role of…

The Actors Who Almost Played Batman

New DVD release
With Robert Pattinson answering the Bat-Signal for Matt Reeves’ sequel to 2022’s The Batman, we know the Batcave won’t be empty for long, but much like any superhero casting these days, there were naysayers that thought the former Twilight favorite wouldn’t fit the cape and cowl.  Now that most of them have been proved wrong, is Hollywood finally ready to accept its new Batman? There are whispers that Pattinson has been locked in for a trilogy of movies and various spin-offs, but in some Elseworlds tale, it could’ve been someone completely different carrying the weight of Gotham City on his…

M3GAN Is Horror Fans’ 2023 Must-Have Holiday Item

New DVD release
The beginning of the year is typically Hollywood’s dead end. After a feast of holiday season blockbusters and late-arriving Oscar hopefuls, January is the hangover; the demonstrable dumping ground where studios cast off the dregs that didn’t work or the C-list fodder that’s used to fill in the cracks of a fiscal year report. In other words, a wide release after New Year’s Day is supposed to be a death sentence. M3GAN defies all that conventional wisdom puffery. Hitting the screen like an Elmo-sized disruptor that’s eager to break low expectations, this intentionally campy update of the “killer doll” subgenre…

The Pale Blue Eye Captures the Heart of Edgar Allan Poe’s Mystery

New DVD release
Director Scott Cooper‘s The Pale Blue Eye is a subtle, restrained work of suspense for fans of the slow-burn murder mystery genre. Even its most exciting action scene comes across as more realistically perilous than cinematically frightening. The film, which reimagines the real-life Edgar Allan Poe during his younger  years at West Point, has its blemishes, but these offenses do not include Harry Melling, who occasionally looks like a touched-up vintage photograph of Poe, or Christian Bale, who stars as Augustus Landor, the damaged detective desperate to control the chaos. Based on Louis Bayard’s 2006 novel, The Pale Blue Eye,…

Great Eat the Rich Satires to Watch After The Menu

New DVD release
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous have always been popular targets for satirists, but in 2022 the wealthy and elite were favorite punching bags for filmmakers. As billionaires continue to overstep and draw the ire of the rest of the 99 percent of the world’s population, our films reflected the rising “eat the rich” sentiment, and perhaps none more so than Mark Mylod’s satirical thriller The Menu.  Having directed many episodes of HBO’s Succession, Mylod is no stranger to the grotesqueries of the aristocracy, and his film presents pompous, vacuous, uncaring members of high society attending an upscale, private…

Renfield: Nicholas Hoult Channels the Classic Universal Version of Dracula Sidekick

New DVD release
It is difficult to imagine audiences ever found Dwight Frye scary in 1931, but they apparently did. With his high-strung voice and bug-eyed stare—all suggesting the countenance of someone who hasn’t slept in weeks yet feasts on coffee by the hour—Frye is unforgettable as R.M. Renfield, the doomed solicitor who foolishly traveled to Castle Dracula alone in the 1931 film version of Dracula. But scary? He was more a figure of tragedy… or from the right point of view, farce. It would seem Nicholas Hoult, Nicolas Cage, and the entire team making this spring’s peculiar comedy-horror hybrid, Renfield, would agree.…

Next James Bond Actor Search Now Rumored to Have a Frontrunner

New DVD release
It’s one of the most prestigious roles in Hollywood, one that only six actors have played if we’re talking the movies that are actually canon. But soon enough, there will be a seventh actor donning the tux and carrying the Walther PPK. While there are plenty of fan favorites to step into the role of James Bond, a new report about the search suggests there’s now a frontrunner to take over as 007. The latest comes from Puck News‘ reliable Matthew Belloni, who’s confirmed that actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train, Tenet) met with franchise producer Barbara Broccoli about starring in…

Stephen King Made Winter the Scariest Time of the Year

New DVD release
When the idea for this feature was first proposed, the angle was “Stephen King stories set at Christmas.” Much to my surprise, however, and despite our best efforts, we were not able to find a story by the master that was set specifically during the holidays or that pertained to them in some meaningful way (feel free to correct us, by the way, if you know of one). Given the breadth of King’s prose, this absence is surprising. It also begged a new question: What, then, are his best stories set in winter? It’s perhaps telling how quickly the choices…

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – When and Where to Watch Online

New DVD release
The first Black Panther was a triumph for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not only was it an expertly made film, with electric performances from Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan as well as first-class direction from Ryan Coogler, but it told a complex story about Wakanda’s responsibilities to the rest of the world. Black Panther revealed what superhero stories do best, introducing a fantastic fictional world and wrestling with complex issues through a battle between costumed characters. So it’s no surprise that the sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was one of the most anticipated movies of 2022. Not only does…

Every Video Game Adaptation Currently in Development

New DVD release
While the number of truly great video game adaptations is tragically small, the fact of the matter is that there’s still a bit of a gold rush for familiar properties. As such, it seems that every studio and streaming service in the world is looking to adapt one video game or another. Seriously, the number of video game adaptations currently in some stage of development is insane. You may occasionally hear about some video game adaptation popping up here and there, but it’s hard to fully grasp the extent of this movement until you see every adaptation listed in one…

Upcoming Movies to Watch in 2023

New DVD release
Happy New Year! That’s certainly what the movie industry is hoping for after what was a tumultuous 2022 (although not without its lucrative silver linings). The movie industry remains in a state of flux, however it’s not all doom and gloom for cinema. In fact, 2023 is shaping up to be a big year for studios relying on franchises and tentpoles (just scroll down for further evidence of that!), as well as a year that will bring us new auteur pieces from the likes of Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Taika Waititi, and Greta Gerwig (with nothing less than a Barbie…
