Don’t Worry Darling: Harry Styles and the Problem with Pop Star Actors

New DVD release
This article contains very mild Don’t Worry Darling spoilers. Harry Styles is not terrible in Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling. Which is not to say he is particularly good. Like a fancy ‘50s dinner party where the meal is neither fish nor fowl, the performance is adequate; a rough-around-the-edges first attempt at being a leading man that doesn’t technically distract from the movie. It doesn’t help it either. Unfortunately, with a film titled Don’t Worry Darling that is a problem. By the very notion of its moniker, in which the slow-boiling menace of being gaslit by your partner is implicit,…

The Best Movies to Watch If You Loved Do Revenge

New DVD release
So you laughed, cringed, gasped, and cheered over Do Revenge, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s delightfully dark retelling of Strangers on a Train for the clout-obsessed Gen Z set, and now you want to do a rewatch? Before you press restart on Netflix, chase that thrill with the teen drama forebears that Robinson spoofed, riffed on, and littered the movie with reverent Easter eggs from the ‘80s, ‘90s, and ‘00s. Plus, if this is your first introduction to Robinson, you’re in luck—we’ve got your guide to where else to find her incisive, irreverent work, from a feminist vigilante TV series to a…

Don’t Worry Darling Ending Explained

In Olivia Wilde’s second feature film as a director, Don’t Worry Darling, Florence Pugh and Harry Styles star as Alice and Jack Chambers, a young couple who live in a 1950s planned community called Victory. Jack goes to work in the morning, like every other man in town, and participates in the mysterious Victory Project. All of which is overseen by the equally mysterious Frank (Chris Pine), a charismatic cult leader type who built the whole place. Alice, like every other woman in town, stays home to clean, cook, and prepare for…

James Bond Songs Ranked from Worst to Best

New DVD release
Near the beginning of what many consider to be the definitive James Bond movie, 1964’s Goldfinger, Sean Connery’s 007 reveals himself to be simultaneously roguish and antiquated. The moment occurs when his latest conquest affronts his snobbish tastes—dismissing something to do with champagne and refrigerators. He thus believes it’s his duty to explain, “My dear girl, there are some things that just aren’t done, such as drinking Dom Pérignon ’53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs.” Bond might’ve been the coolest fictional character around at the time of that…

Don’t Worry Darling Review: Florence Pugh Carries Troubled Olivia Wilde Film

New DVD release
Immaculately coiffed women in flirty ‘50s frocks wave their handsome husbands goodbye as the men drive off to work in their color-coordinated cars. The women then retreat back to their stylish and spacious show homes with a skip and a song to clean and cook, or sometimes they meet the other gals to shop or lounge by the pool in the sun. It’s heaven. It’s utopia. It’s obviously not real. Olivia Wilde’s sophomore effort as director, after her confident and joyful debut Booksmart, veers into mystery terrority. If you think you can guess where the story is going, well… you…

Interview with the Vampire Review: The Best Anne Rice Adaptation Ever Made

New DVD release
This Interview with the Vampire review contains no spoilers. Late Vampire Chronicles author Anne Rice was never completely onboard with the 1994 film adaptation of her book: Interview with the Vampire, which starred Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. Taking issue with casting and other certain liberties, Rice ultimately endorsed it, but denounced its 2002 sequel, Queen of the Damned, with Aaliyah in the title role. Rice and her son Christopher have been involved with AMC’s Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire through its own tortured journey to series adaptation, so it seems any changes to the source material come with…

The Jack Black Green Lantern Movie Killed By a Fan Revolt

New DVD release
Looking back at the world of comic book movies in the mid-2000s almost feels like a glimpse into an alternate reality. Chris Evans was best known to nerdy moviegoers as the Human Torch in Fantastic Four while Ben Affleck was perhaps best forgotten as Matt Murdock in 2003’s Daredevil. In an era before the arrival of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, big, brash and mostly very bad comic book adaptations were commonplace.  Yet fans were arguably spared the biggest and brashest of them all following an online protest, the kind of which would soon become all-too-common within the world of fandom.…

Why Moonage Daydream is More Than a David Bowie Documentary

New DVD release
Brett Morgen’s Moonage Daydream is a more intimate dive into David Bowie than a traditional documentary or concert film can achieve. As an IMAX experience, it is immersive to an almost intrusive degree. It is a shame it will only be available in such a form for so short a time. Between 1967 and 2016, David Bowie released 27 studio albums, 150 singles, shot music videos, and personal experimental films. He toured the world, and recorded in studios in London, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Berlin, and Montreux. Bowie’s estate granted Morgen full access to Bowie’s archives: long-buried performance footage,…

James Bond Producers: Daniel Craig “Lived to Regret” Playing 007

New DVD release
This post contains spoilers for No Time to Die Ever since Australian model George Lazenby stepped in for “the other fella” Sean Connery in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, James Bond casting has been one of the hottest debate topics in the movie world. Anticipation has only doubled after Daniel Craig left the series, and not just because his five-film run is considered by many to be among the franchise’s best. More tellingly, his movies told a complete story, beginning with his promotion to double-o status in Casino Royale and ending with his death in No Time to Die. Thus,…

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Toy Teases Upgraded Ironheart Suit

New DVD release
Unsurprisingly, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is among the most anticipated movies in recent memory. Not only is it a sequel to one of the most culture-defining films of the past ten years, but questions remain about who exactly will play the title hero. But one of the more surprising points of interest involve a new addition to the MCU, Riri Williams aka Ironheart. Williams first appeared in 2016’s Invincible Iron Man #7, written by Brian Michael Bendis and drawn by Mike Deodato, as a young genius inspired by Tony Stark. In the issues that followed, Williams reverse-engineered Stark’s Iron Man armor to…

Stephen King: The Stories That Made Me a Constant Reader

New DVD release
Stephen King turns 75 years old this week (Sept. 21, to be exact), just two weeks after the publication of his 64th novel, the already acclaimed Fairy Tale. Aside from a trickle of short stories he sold for a number of years starting in 1967, his career really began in earnest with the 1974 arrival of Carrie, his first published novel. While the book sold modestly in hardcover, it was the sale of the paperback rights (for $400,000) and the novel’s subsequent success in that format which enabled King to become a full-time writer and launch the historic career that…

Keanu Reeves Classics That Also Deserve Legacy Sequels After Constantine 2

New DVD release
Last week, fans were shocked and delighted by the news that a dormant DC franchise would receive a sequel with its original star and director set to return. No, sorry Henry Cavill fans, there’s still no word on a Man of Steel sequel. Still, if it’s any consolation, Keanu Reeves and director Francis Lawerence will take another stab at a Constantine film, after their original installment was released more than 15 years ago in 2005. The new film will be written by Akiva Goldsman and will see Reeves reprise his role as a supernatural exorcist and demonologist John Constantine. Constantine…

The Shared Universes That Copied Marvel and Failed

New DVD release
Marvel Studios did not invent the shared universe. Comic books had already been playing with the concept for decades. Nor did Marvel Studios pioneer putting it onscreen. Filmmakers started toying with this as a storytelling device since at least Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man in 1943, and of course it’s been Toho Studios’ bread and butter since 1962—the first time Godzilla and King Kong got into a little donnybrook. Nevertheless, it’s safe to say that before 2012, the idea of connecting your movies remained an eccentricity—a creative flourish by filmmakers like Kevin Smith or network television executives who wanted to…

X-Men and James Bond Star Reflects on the Price of Fame

New DVD release
Looking from the outside, one might assume that Famke Janssen had the best time of her life in the late 90s and early 2000s. But as she reminded readers of The Independent recently, looks can be deceiving. Born in the Netherlands, Janssen modeled throughout the 80s but began acting in the early 1990s, scoring roles alongside Jeff Goldblum in the film Fathers and Sons, and on Star Trek: The Next Generation (which led to her being considered for the role of Jadzia Dax on Deep Space Nine). Her big break came as the villainous Xenia Onatopp in 1995’s GoldenEye, playing…

Bitch Ass and Making a New Horror Icon (Exclusive)

New DVD release
To this day, filmmaker Bill Posley will not say “Candyman” five times while looking in the mirror. But he will write him a letter. It sounds strange, but that turned out to be the exact way to summon the attention of a cinematic legend like Candyman actor Tony Todd and to request that he consider a pivotal role in Posley’s new slasher movie and directorial debut, Bitch Ass. “We were looking for somebody to be our Vincent Price, this Crypt-Keeper type, intro-ing the movie,” Posley says. Eventually, the Bitch Ass writer-director and his collaborators came around to the idea of…

Will the New Karate Kid Movie Be in the Cobra Kai Timeline?

New DVD release
Mark your calendars. On June 7, 2024, a brand-new Karate Kid film will premiere. This is according to Sony Columbia Pictures. Cobra Kai, which is produced by Sony Pictures Television for Netflix, just put out its fifth season to rave reviews, opening with a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer. It’s a repeat of the first season’s perfect 100% score, and every other season has topped 90% or higher. At 10 episodes per season, Cobra Kai is 50 episodes deep. What might a feature film bring to the franchise?  For anyone following along, the show’s creators have already tipped…

Batgirl Movie Scene Leaks Online

New DVD release
Just like its titular hero, Batgirl never gives up. The movie was infamously canceled by Warner Bros. Discovery president David Zaslav right as it neared completion and buried under legal stipulations that would prevent it from ever being screened in theaters. But leaks and fan-made tributes to the film continue unabated, revealing massive interest for a movie that Zaslav determined would be better served as a $90 million tax write-off. Now we have a new leak, and it’s one of the most compelling yet. The clip originally comes from the Instagram account of stunt person Emely Cartagena (then tweeted by…

Alien: What’s Going On With the Movie and TV Universe?

New DVD release
With the Predator universe enjoying a well-earned resurgence thanks to Hulu and 20th Century’s excellent Prey, Alien fans are naturally feeling a little left out considering the two franchises have been so closely intertwined for so many years. Despite the fact that it’s been over 40 years since Alien first hit the big screen in 1979, interest and speculation about the franchise has only grown in the decades since. It’s unfortunate, then, that the future of the Alien series feels so up in the air right now. What’s next for Alien now that 20th Century Studios is under the ownership…

How Black Panther Gave Letitia Wright the Chance To Become One Of The Silent Twins

New DVD release
The Silent Twins is a new film based on the true story of June and Jennifer Gibbons, twin sisters born in 1963 to parents of Caribbean descent, and whose family lived mainly in Wales. Persecuted at school from an early age—primarily due to the color of their skin and idiosyncratic behavior—the twins gradually withdrew from the world, speaking only to each other (in a combination of sped-up English and Bajan Creole that made it difficult for others to understand), duplicating each other’s movements and behavior, and generally remaining non-communicative with others around them. While their behavior seemed bizarre to observers,…
