What’s Next for Henry Cavill’s Superman in the DC Extended Universe

New DVD release
Warner Bros. is finally planning to bring Henry Cavill back as Superman, and according to a recent report, they have an “intense desire” to make a movie “that would essentially be Man of Steel 2.” So basically, exactly what they should have done in the first place. But hey, the past is the past, right! Onward and…well, let’s say “up, up, and away” instead! Of course, a lot has changed since Man of Steel was first released in 2013, not just for Warner Bros. and DC, but for the superhero movie landscape in general. The DCEU has had its ups…

Black Adam: What DC Movies Should You Watch To Get The Full Experience?

New DVD release
Whenever a new superhero movie comes out, the one question I’m asked more than any other by my friends who aren’t as deep in this world as I am, is “what do I need to know or have watched already in order to understand this one?” In the case of most Marvel Cinematic Universe flicks, it can offer a variety of answers, while with most DC movies, the answer is usually almost nothing, by virtue of their relatively loose continuity. And with Black Adam hitting theaters, a DC movie about a relatively obscure character, featuring other heroes and villains similarly…

Rian Johnson Confirms What’s Holding Back His Star Wars Trilogy

New DVD release
Yes, it is October 2022, nearly five full years after the movie’s release, and we’re still litigating The Last Jedi. Love it or hate it, there’s no denying that Rian Johnson‘s second installment in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy occupies a unique space in the public imagination, something that cannot be said for even The Rise of Skywalker. In fact, Lucasfilm had so much faith in the direction’s vision back in 2017 that, shortly before The Last Jedi made it to theaters, producer Kathleen Kennedy announced that Johnson would be helming a whole new trilogy separate from the Skywalker saga.…

15 Stars Who Missed Out on Big MCU Roles

New DVD release
With Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness blowing the doors to the Multiverse wide open, all bets are off about who could join the Marvel Cinematic Universe and when. Alongside the return of Patrick Stewart’s Professor Charles Xavier, we also got Hayley Atwell’s Captain Carter from What…If?, while the fan casting of John Krasinski as Mister Fantastic finally came true. It’s obviously got viewers thinking about their own real-life “what ifs” for castings that nearly were.  Over four phases and 14 years, the great and the good of Hollywood have slipped into their spandex to join the MCU. This…

Black Adam’s Big Secret Spoiled by DC Ahead of Release

New DVD release
This post contains spoilers for Black Adam Reports of the Snyder-verse’s death have been greatly exaggerated. For months, it’s looked like the DCEU begun by the Zack Snyder-helmed Man of Steel had come to a close. While some vestiges were sure to remain, in the form of the Aquaman and Shazam! sequels and possibly the stand-alone Flash film, several indicators suggested that Warner Bros. wanted to seek a new direction. And yet, WB also knows that the Snyder-verse has its adamant fans, who continue to hope that every new movie featuring DC characters could indeed restore their beloved shared universe.…

Living With Chucky Director Welcomes Fans Into Chucky’s Bloody Family

New DVD release
Many horror fans say they grew up with Chucky, but none can claim a connection to the slashing doll quite like filmmaker Kyra Elise Gardner. As the daughter of special effects legend Tony Gardner – who helped bring Chucky to life countless times – she experienced Chucky’s evolution at home. Not every four-year-old can say Chucky was waiting for them after kindergarten class! Since Seed of Chucky, Tony Gardner has been the head puppeteer of our favorite pint-sized murderer, giving Kyra Elise Gardner some killer memories of her father’s meticulous design work and puppeteering. Now, Gardner describes Chucky as  “a…

Bram Stoker’s Dracula Isn’t Faithful to the Book and That Doesn’t Matter

New DVD release
The first time I saw Bram Stoker’s Dracula on television, I hated it. But then, it could be argued, I didn’t really see the movie Francis Ford Coppola had made. This irony rings true for a number of reasons. First, my introduction to Gary Oldman’s fright wig, and the luminous crimson cloak that accompanied it, came not at the theater or even on VHS. It was in the middle of a Saturday afternoon on a fuzzy TNT cable broadcast where much of the gore, and pretty much all the eroticism, had been edited out in case a younger viewer was…

Black Adam: What That Wild Post-Credits Scene Means For The DCEU

New DVD release
This article contains Black Adam spoilers. You hear him before you see him. A familiar subsonic whoosh that when you think about it, can only mean one thing. There aren’t that many heroes in the DCEU who can fly, after all, and one of them is already on screen. It doesn’t hurt that Black Adam star Dwayne Johnson has been teasing his arrival for years: Henry Cavill is back as Superman. Here’s what it all means for the DCEU… Amanda Waller and The Suicide Squad Right before Superman arrives, the newly-minted Black Adam (in a truly awesome comics-accurate costume) gets…

Worst Ryan Reynolds Movie Ever Gets Surprise Sequel

New DVD release
Why do some movies get sequels and others do not? Under normal circumstances, it’s because one makes money and the other doesn’t. But then how do you explain something like the upcoming R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned? The belated—as in nine years later—follow-up to Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges’ 2013 misfire follows on a path created by one of the worst movies of either previous star’s careers. It was also one of their least successful endeavors. Released about a decade late in its attempt to jump on the Men in Black bandwagon from the late ‘90s, R.I.P.D. was a…

Star Wars Finally Brings Back Lost Sequel Trilogy Character

New DVD release
There is no shortage of behind-the-scenes stories about the making of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. Plenty has been written about how it was J.J. Abrams and Michael Arndt’s idea to excise Luke Skywalker almost completely from The Force Awakens, ditching the notes and outlines George Lucas had handed over to Disney during the Lucasfilm deal. And how Rian Johnson returned to some of Lucas’ original Sequel Trilogy ideas for The Last Jedi, especially when it came to Luke training a new generation of Jedi. Meanwhile, Lucas’ idea for our heroes to explore the “microbiotic world” of the Whills remains…

Marvel Reveals What a Black Panther 2 with T’Challa Would Have Been Like

New DVD release
To say that the shocking death of Chadwick Boseman left the world a lesser place is an understatement. For the sake of privacy, the star of Da Five Bloods and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom kept his colon cancer diagnosis a secret from most of the world, which means his passing at the age of 43 shocked not only those who knew and loved him, but also his co-workers who saw nothing but a bright future for the immensely talented actor. That includes Black Panther director Ryan Coogler, who had co-written a sequel script with Joe Robert Cole that put T’Challa…

How Dracula Untold’s Master Vampire Was Once the Key to the Universal MonsterVerse

New DVD release
When 2014’s Dracula Untold was announced, it was kind of a big deal considering it would be the first major Dracula movie to hit the big screen since Dracula 2000. Sadly, the Vlad the Impaler origin story was met with mixed reviews and sort of came and went upon its theatrical release. But with the movie recently being added to Netflix and immediately shooting to number 4 on streaming service’s top 10 movies list, now is a good time to revisit not just the film but how its characters—particularly Charles Dance’s Master Vampire—were meant to be the original launching pad…

Why There Will Never Be a Possession Movie as Scary as The Exorcist

New DVD release
No possession film will ever be as frightening as The Exorcist (1973) because it is a movie no one wants to make anymore. Filmmakers repeatedly try to copy it, but that’s not the same as producing a bold and groundbreaking original work, and when they do, they try to speed up the action to get to the thrills. The devil likes it slow and has never been more intimate, and real as in director William Friedkin’s multi-Oscar-nominated film. It is scary because it is studiously subdued, and daringly sloppy. The Exorcist terrified moviegoers when it came out a day after…

Who Is Black Adam And What Are His Powers And Weaknesses?

New DVD release
Dwayne Johnson is finally joining the DCEU with Black Adam. The movie’s trailers (not to mention the movie itself) showcase a brutally action-packed epic, the character isn’t one of DC’s most well known, despite having been around for over 75 years. Black Adam is truly the most complex (and violent) character to spring from the Shazam mythos and has been the center of some of DC’s best tales of the past 20 years. He has become one of DC’s greatest anti-heroes, a godlike being of profound honor and with an immense capacity for violence. But what makes Black Adam so…

Black Adam Early Reviews Cast Cloud Over DCEU Passion Project

New DVD release
A funny thing happened to Black Adam on its way to the cinema: critics finally got a look at the movie. While the film has undeniably been a passion project for Dwayne Johnson, with the actor circling the role for more than a decade before finally playing the part, that love has not necessarily translated into a movie that’s winning over a majority of film journalists. Nonetheless, it should be noted that this is only the early reception for the DC Extended Universe’s most hotly anticipated film of the year, and that Black Adam’s current Rotten Tomatoes score of 52…

The Batman Spinoff Movie Plans Would Bring Back One of DC’s Most Twisted Villains

New DVD release
For some, the most tantalizing aspect of director Matt Reeves’s three-hour opus The Batman was not just a fresh look into the early days of the Caped Crusader. Rather, it was the surprise cameo of Barry Keoghan as the Joker. It’s not that the movie didn’t have its fair share of villains, ranging from big personalities, such as the Riddler and the Penguin, to John Turturro’s menacingly understated turn as crime boss Carmine Falcone. But Reeves took a surprisingly grounded approach to Batman, even more so than previous director Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. How many members of Batman’s famously…

The Best Werewolf Horror Movies

New DVD release
It seems that high profile werewolf movies are in short supply these days, doesn’t it? When you’re talking horror movies, there’s plenty of zombies to be had, vampires aren’t going anywhere (and judging by what we’re seeing on TV, they’re back in the biggest of ways), and slasher films will always come back into fashion. But werewolves? They’re not so lucky. Maybe it’s because they seem to require a little more of a budget, and some proper special effects wizardry to make those transformations really pop. CGI werewolves just won’t cut it. And then there’s always the question of just…

What’s Next for Halloween, Hellraiser, Scream, Friday the 13th, and Other Classic Horror Movie Franchises

New DVD release
Halloween. Scream. Hellraiser. Legacy horror franchises – properties whose origins reach back decades – have returned in a big way, with the three mentioned above and others all part of a wave of reboots, sequels, prequels, and reimaginings (feel free to add your own buzzword) that are either reinvigorating somewhat dusty titles for new generations of fans or putting the final nail in their crusty old coffins. The reason for this is clear: if you think Hollywood craved proven IP (that’s intellectual property to us plebs) before the pandemic, the major studios are even more desperate to scarf up and…

Man of Steel 2 Back On With Henry Cavill’s Superman After Years of Studio Interference

New DVD release
There are few more divisive movies among all of fandom than Zack Snyder’s three DC movie efforts Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League (either version). While the filmmaker certainly delivered a singular vision for a particular version of what has come to be known as the DCEU should look and feel like, it lacked a universal appeal among both fans and critics, and the box office for all three films reflected that. What Warner Bros. had hoped was the beginning of a shared cinematic universe to rival Marvel Studios with Man of Steel almost…

The Flash 2 Already Written, Despite Ezra Miller Legal Trouble

New DVD release
Warner Bros.’ long embattled The Flash movie, a film that has had more release date announcements and changes over the last few years than we can even begin to keep track of, is finally (well, we’ll see about that) on track to hit theaters on June 23, 2023. And while the DCEU has had no share of drama, shattered hopes, and mixed expectations over the last few years, no project has had more confusion and heartache surrounding it than The Flash, with something on the order of a half dozen directors and screenwriters becoming attached to the project at various…
