Voicemails for Isabelle is a Love Letter to Healing from Grief

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
This article contains some spoilers for the Netflix film Voicemails for Isabelle. You’re proof that sometimes life rigs things in our favor. In a movie that encapsulates the sometimes silly messiness of grief and the warmth of loving through healing, Netflix’s Voicemails for Isabella is a refreshing, poignant reminder to keep living.  Zoey Deutch stars as Jill, currently a prep cook in San Francisco who aspires to be a baker.

Spider-Man’s New Popcorn Bucket Is Getting the Dune Treatment

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
Not long ago, film theater merchandise was fairly straightforward. You got a themed popcorn tub, maybe a collectible cup, and went on with your day. Somewhere along the way, however, Hollywood has started to churn out merchandise that has you stop and think, “Did nobody look at this before it went into production?”  This trend arguably (but not really) started with Dune: Part Two’s infamous Arrakis sandworm popcorn bucket, which instantly became an internet sensation for reasons that had very little to do with Denis Villeneuve’s 2024 sci-fi epic. What should have been a relatively standard piece of film merch…

Leviticus Ending Explained and Unpacked with the Director

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
This article contains major Leviticus spoilers. On the same Friday that first-time feature director Adrian Chiarella’s Leviticus is opening nationwide in the U.S., the Australian filmmaker is having lunch in Los Angeles with someone else in the industry. They’re there to discuss work, presumably some prospects for the future, and maybe the SoCal weather. And yet, as Chiarella recounts a few hours later, the most passionate, driving topic of conversation came down to the end of his new horror film and Mia Wasikowska’s portrait of bad parenting decisions in it. “They really wanted to get to the heart of that,”…

Famke Janssen Thinks Avengers: Doomsday Is Missing an X-Men Staple

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday has promised a truly massive cast, bringing together core groups from across the MCU’s  biggest corners The Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the Thunderbolts, and the X-Men.  For longtime fans of the Fox X-Men era in particular, the appeal in the upcoming film lies in seeing so many familiar faces return after years away from the franchise. Nearly the entire original cast is set to return, with Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, James Marsden as Cyclops, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, and Kelsey Grammer as Beast.  Three of the franchise’s most…

Turok: Origins Brings the Dino Hunter Back from the Dead

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
Any millennial who had a Nintendo 64 will tell you that one of the staples for the console was Turok, a franchise which began with 1997’s Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and released four games on the N64 alone. Since then, the first-person shooter title has struggled to maintain its relevance and audience over subsequent gaming generations, seemingly coming to an end with 2008’s Turok, published by Disney Interactive Studios of all companies. Saber Interactive has now taken the reins on the series with the upcoming Turok: Origins, which we got to play at Summer Game Fest 2026 as part of their…

House of the Dragon: Tom Bennett on the Ulf Moment That Explained Everything

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon season 3 episode 1. Midway through the House of the Dragon season 3 premiere, Rhaenyra, Alicent, and the Dance of their Dragons all take a back seat for a bucolic moment of peace in the Riverlands where freshly-minted dragonriders Addam of Hull (Clinton Liberty), Hugh the Hammer (Kieran Bew), and Ulf (Tom Bennett) are gathered to keep a watchful eye out for Prince Aemond and his dragon Vhagar. The trio is clearly bored with the assignment as, unbeknownst to them, Aemond currently has better things to do than aimlessly fly around…

House of the Dragon Stars Break Down Season 3’s Battle of the Gullet

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon season 3 episode 1. So-named for the narrow stretch of ocean between Driftmark and Dragonstone upon which it’s fought, the Battle of the Gullet is the biggest engagement in the Dance of the Dragons Targaryen civil war and remains one of the bloodiest sea battles ever fought in Westeros. And House of the Dragon has never been shy about making sure we all know it’s coming. The second season finale of HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel put all the relevant players for the battle in motion. The Triarchy ships, led by…

House of the Dragon Cast Discuss Season 3 Premiere’s Brutal Death

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon season 3 episode 1. Rhaenyra Targaryen is no stranger to the vulgarities of war. The Queen in Dragonstone and claimant to the Iron Throne received an education in what war really costs before her war even truly began. Back in the House of the Dragon season 1 finale, Rhaenyra lost her second son Lucerys when he and his dragon Arrax were devoured by his cousin Aemond’s dragon Vhagar on what should have been a relatively safe diplomatic mission. It’s a devastating loss, to be sure. But thankfully Rhaenyra still has a…

House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 1 Review: Down the Gullet

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
This House of the Dragon review contains spoilers. Am I losing my mind or are the drums in the House of the Dragon opening theme louder this season? It’s possible that the audio on my aging iPad is shot or that the review screener HBO made available to critics was unfinished, but it really does sound to me as though the percussion in composer Ramin Djawadi’s iconic Game of Thrones intro music is faster, fuller, and more insistent. If the usual “duh nuh nuh nuuuhhs” were amplified for season 3, it would certainly make sense. Following a solid but frustratingly…

My Adventures with Superman Introduces a Very Different Green Lantern

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
This article contains spoilers for My Adventures With Superman season 3 episode 2. Like most installments of the anime-influenced Adult Swim show, the third episode of My Adventures of Superman, “Mobile Toy Gundam,” features lots of DC Universe deep dives. Sure, we get Superman and his cousin Supergirl, as well as revised versions of classic villains Lex Luthor and the Toyman, and the introduction of the season’s big bad Cyborg Superman. We even see cosplayers dressed as members of the Teen Titans and the Challengers of the Unknown. But as far as the My Adventures franchise is concerned, the most…

15 Movie Scenes That Were So Expensive They Nearly Got Cut

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
Some of the most unforgettable scenes in movie history rarely made it to the screen, not because they were bad, but because they cost too much. Massive practical effects, difficult locations, endless retakes, and ambitious technical demands can turn a single sequence into a financial nightmare. In some cases, studios pushed back hard, questioning whether the cost could ever be justified. But sometimes those risky scenes become the very reason a movie is remembered. They shape the story, define the spectacle, and prove that certain moments are worth every dollar. Here are fifteen famous movie scenes that nearly disappeared because…

Playing a great hero is difficult. Playing a great villain can be even harder. But mastering both across a career is a rare skill that only a few actors truly pull off. It takes range, control, and the ability to shift how audiences see you without losing credibility. Some actors become so convincing on one side that it feels shocking to watch them switch. Others move between good and evil so naturally that it becomes part of what makes them unforgettable. Whether leading the story or standing against it, these performers proved they could command both sides of the screen…

15 People Share the Universally Loved Movies That They Actually Hate

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
Not every beloved movie works for everyone. Some films become cultural landmarks, praised by critics, quoted endlessly, and treated like untouchable classics, but that does not mean every viewer connects with them. Sometimes the hype creates expectations that feel impossible to meet. Other times, a movie’s style, pacing, or themes simply miss the mark for certain audiences. That disconnect can be especially strong when the rest of the world seems to adore it. Inspired by movie fans sharing their most unpopular opinions, here are fifteen massively loved films that some people admit they just cannot stand. IMDb La La Land…

15 Not-So-Golden Facts About the Golden Age of Hollywood

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
The Golden Age of Hollywood is often remembered as a glamorous era filled with timeless stars, legendary premieres, and the birth of modern cinema. It created some of the most iconic films ever made and shaped the idea of celebrity as we still know it today. But behind the polished black and white images and elegant red carpets, the reality was often far darker. The studio system controlled nearly every part of an actor’s life, scandals were buried, careers were manipulated, and dangerous working conditions were common. Beneath the shine, the era was far more ruthless than it looked. Here…

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
This article contains possible spoilers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. To me, my Spider-Man! Okay, that’s not how the line goes. But for months now, fans have been speculating that at least one of Marvel’s Mighty Mutants would be making their MCU debut in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Tribeca 2026: Everything We Saw

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
New York City is often a town of extremes. It can be too hot; it can be too cold. It can be too loud; and it can be painfully quiet on occasion. Yet there are times where it is absolutely perfect, and this June was no exception. With the Tribeca Film Festival in its 25th year, Robert De Niro’s pride and joy has added a lot of character to Lower Manhattan, especially in recent iterations during one of the city’s most glorious months.

The Best Shows to Watch After Widow’s Bay

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
There isn’t a show around that’s exactly like Widow’s Bay. Katie Dippold’s new Apple TV original has definitely struck a chord with audiences in 2026, maintaining a delicate balance between scares and chuckles and introducing us to instantly iconic characters like Tom, Wyck, Patricia, Rosemary, and Bechir. But there are shows out there that manage to do spooky small-town horror or silly supernatural shenanigans well enough to devote your time to as you wait for a second season of Widow’s Bay. We’re going to assume you’ve already seen (or passed on) some of the bigger shows that Widow’s Bay’s humor…

The Best Underrated Slashers of the 1980s

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
You know Michael and Jason and Chucky and Freddy. But the 1980s weren’t just about these major franchises. After Halloween and Friday the 13th proved that studios could make a ton of money with a simple premise, and with the home video boom upping the demand for more and more content, the Greed Decade was filled with movies about groups of people getting picked off in increasingly absurd ways. And with a tried-and-true premise to work from, even the worst slasher movies end up being pretty watchable. So if you want to see eccentric weirdos use everyday objects to off…
