Jurassic World Dominion Review: It’s Time to Go Extinct

New DVD release
The triceratops was my favorite dinosaur growing up. I’m not sure why exactly, but I think it had something to do with the horns and the hard plate. He was scrappy and could fight back against the predators. I wasn’t the first to think this either. Due to the same bias, Steven Spielberg switched out a stegosaurus in the Jurassic Park novel with a triceratops for a pivotal scene onscreen. When Sam Neill puts his head against a magnificent animatronic creation and admits “she was my favorite as a kid,” Spielberg wanted that creature to have three horns recreated by…

Jurassic World Dominion Cast: ‘This Is Definitely the End of the Road’

New DVD release
It was nearly 10 years ago when Chris Pratt signed on to play animal behaviorist Owen Grady in Jurassic World, the first new movie in the Jurassic Park franchise since 2001. Looking back at it now, Pratt tells Den of Geek he couldn’t imagine that he might still be playing Grady a decade later in Jurassic World Dominion, a movie billed as the conclusion to not just the trilogy he’s starred in but also the three movies before that. “I had just done the first Guardians of the Galaxy and I was under contract to do whatever my contract was…

Jurassic World Dominion Ending Explained

New DVD release
This article contains Jurassic World Dominion spoilers. Something has survived. That was the tagline for the first sequel to Jurassic Park, The Lost World, which was released 25 years ago. Yet it can also apply to the Jurassic franchise as a whole, as this series has survived—thrived, even—across three decades and multiple generations of casts. And with Jurassic World Dominion now in theaters, we’ve reached the apparent culmination of the dino-action. Two eras of heroes, including Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), raptor trainer Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), corporate executive-turned-dinosaur-rights activist…

Hustle: Adam Sandler’s New Basketball Movie Is a Slam Dunk

New DVD release
Adam Sandler’s real-life love for the game of basketball is on full display in Hustle, an ode to pro basketball featuring a gigantic supporting cast of NBA legends and rising stars. The feel-good sports drama is a straightforward underdog story in essence, but its true strengths lie in how it delves into the psychology of the game, and the front office intrigue that fans seldom get to see. Viral clips of Sandler pulling up to random public parks and gyms to play pick-up basketball games with awestruck civilians have been circulating online for years, so it seems natural that his…

Howard the Duck “Probably Destroyed My Film Career” Says Star

New DVD release
It’s hard to believe now, but just a few decades ago, Marvel movies did not dominate cinemas. In fact, the very first big-screen adaptation of a Marvel property is one of cinema’s best-known flops, 1986’s Howard the Duck. Based on the satirical character created by Steve Gerber, Howard the Duck baffled audiences with its surprising amount of duck nudity and off-key jokes. Not even the intervention of executive producer George Lucas, who planned to make a Howard the Duck before even starting Star Wars. Obviously, Marvel and Lucasfilm have both recovered from the experience. The same is true for stars Tim Robbins and Lea Thompson, although…

David Cronenberg: What If Body Horror and Transformation is ‘a Good Thing?’

New DVD release
Fans of intelligent, thought-provoking, and visionary films that just happen to have strange new appendages growing out of the human body were thrilled when it was revealed David Cronenberg was returning to body horror with Crimes of the Future. Further, the new thriller marks the end of the Canadian director’s eight-year hiatus from filmmaking as well. They had reason to cheer loud, as the movie really does feature bizarre, unidentifiable organs being removed from the body of pain-wracked performance artist Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen) in front of live audience—a clear nod to early films like The Brood, Videodrome, and The…

Could Joker: Folie a Deux Be About Arthur Befriending Bruce?

New DVD release
Not since Michael Douglas discovered money doesn’t sleep on Wall Street has an actor reprised the role for which they won the Oscar. But Joaquin Phoenix, Todd Phillips, and Warner Bros. are not waiting nearly so long to revisit the billion-dollar well of Joker, their character study/origin story of Batman’s greatest villain. Rumors of Joker 2 have abounded ever since the original movie stunned the industry three years ago when a vast global audience turned up for a gritty drama… at least when it was based on a popular comic book character. So confirmation that co-writer and director Phillips, as…

Dashcam Ending Explained and the Mythology you Don’t See on Screen

New DVD release
Sometimes knowing the why and wherefore of something slightly spoils a horror film. Why does Michael Myers kill? No reason. What exactly is The Thing in The Thing (it’s a thing). WFT is THAT at the end of [REC]? (Well actually that kind of does get explained by the sequels, but wasn’t it more fun when we didn’t know?) Rob Savage’s Dashcam, his follow up to Zoom-based lockdown horror Host is in some ways one such movie. It’s a barrage of images and sound transmitted via protagonist Annie’s dashcam and her mobile phone. We the audience don’t really understand exactly…

Doctor Strange 2: New Multiverse Easter Eggs Revealed

New DVD release
This post contains spoilers for DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. Despite what its title promised, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness delivered a relatively limited view of alternate universes. Most of the action took place either in the main MCU reality (dubbed Earth-616, much to the chagrin of some comic book fans) or on Earth-818, home to the Illuminati, Billy and Tommy Maximoff, and, of course, Pizza Poppa. We did get a brief glimpse of several different realities as Strange and America Chavez blasted through the multiverse, but most flashed by so quickly that we couldn’t make sense of…

Top Gun: How a Single Flight Changed the Course of the Movie

New DVD release
Screenwriter Jack Epps Jr. took the assignment to write a movie called Top Gun in the mid-1980s for one reason: he wanted to fly in a fighter jet. “I have my private pilot’s license that I got when I was an undergraduate at Michigan State, so as a private pilot, I said, ‘Well, that’d be fun,’” Epps tells Den of Geek during a recent Zoom chat. “At least I’ll get a jet ride out of it, if nothing else.’” Epps and his writing partner, the late Jim Cash, got a lot more out of it than that out of Top…

How Dashcam Flips the Final Girl Trope: “We Wanted to Make a Movie About an Asshole”

New DVD release
One of the biggest hits during the pandemic, and certainly the most iconically “Covid” movie, was Rob Savage’s smart horror Host, a 57 minute chiller based entirely over a Zoom call. It was scary, it was incredibly current and it put Savage and his cast and crew firmly on the horror map. Now with his follow up, Dashcam, Savage and his team are experimenting with the genre once again. Another found footage movie, Dashcam follows right-wing internet personality Annie Hardy (played by US musician Annie Hardy) as she live streams her increasingly bizarre evening for her fans (the whole thing…

James Gunn Teases “Incredible” Maria Bakalova in Guardians of the Galaxy 3

New DVD release
How do you follow up starring in a sequel to a beloved comedy, getting an Oscar nomination, and publicly embarrassing a political leader? If you’re Maria Bakalova, you go to space. Since her scene-stealing performance as Tutar Sagdiyev in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Bakalova has appeared in several projects, including the Judd Apatow comedy The Bubble and the upcoming A24 slasher Bodies Bodies Bodies. But her most high-profile gig has just been revealed by director James Gunn. Tweeting in response to a Deadline article, Gunn confirmed that Bakalova will be in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the final entry in the cosmic MCU trilogy. “I…

What Top Gun: Maverick’s Historic Success Can Teach Hollywood

New DVD release
Top Gun: Maverick continues to be the rarest kind of ace in the box office skies after its second weekend. It’s of course hardly surprising the Tom Cruise-led legacy sequel maintained its perch as the number one movie in North America, as well as globally, following its historic Memorial Day weekend debut of $160 million in four days. And yet, it’s genuinely shocking just how small its drop-off from weekend to weekend actually was. According to Paramount Pictures, Top Gun: Maverick grossed $90 million in its second weekend in the U.S. That number, which is also higher than any debut…

Deadpool 3 Writers ‘Thrilled’ to Mine MCU for New Jokes

New DVD release
When it was announced back in March that Free Guy and The Adam Project director Shawn Levy would reteam with Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool 3—a “gee, what a surprise” moment if there ever was one—there was another, less splashy but still significant piece of news attached. As revealed by THR, screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were jumping on board the Merc with a Mouth’s threequel as well. Reese and Wernick co-wrote the first two Deadpool movies (and were attached to the first film throughout most of its decade-long development), as well as pictures like Zombieland and its sequel. They’ve…

Sam Neill: Jurassic Park III Is ‘Better Than People Say’

New DVD release
Following the massive success of Steven Spielberg’s groundbreaking Jurassic Park in 1993, sequels were inevitable. Michael Crichton, author of the original novel, even wrote one himself, The Lost World, which served as the loose basis for Spielberg’s own cinematic sequel, 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park. When that made a ton of money as well, plans were put in motion for Jurassic Park III. It would be four years before that film arrived in theaters, however, and a number of things changed during that time. While Jeff Goldblum returned from the original Jurassic Park to star in The Lost World,…

What The Amazing Spider-Man Romance Can Teach the MCU

New DVD release
The MCU Spider-Man movies get a lot of things right. Romance is not one of them. Take for example the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which Tom Holland’s Peter Parker says goodbye to MJ (Zendaya) before magic erases her memory of him. MJ stares into Peter’s battered face and says, “I love you.” Before Peter can respond in kind, MJ interrupts him. “Just wait,” she says behind tears. “Wait and tell me when you see me again.”  The strings in Michael Giacchino’s score begin to rise, and the two come together in a passionate kiss, their faces eclipsing…

Crimes of the Future Review: David Cronenberg Body Horror Finds Fresh Meat

New DVD release
It’s been nine years since director David Cronenberg made a new film (his last being the dark Hollywood satire Maps to the Stars), but it’s been even longer—going back to 1996’s Crash and 1999’s eXistenZ—since he has explored the themes that first put him on the map as a filmmaker: the transformation and/or evolution of the human body, often via violent technological or biological means. When his new film, Crimes of the Future, was announced, it already signaled to diehard Cronenberg fans that a possible return to those ideas was afoot: after all, this was also the title of his…

Mission: Impossible Movies Ranked from Worst to Best

New DVD release
Once upon a time, the title Mission: Impossible conjured up memories of something quaint and procedural: a weekly television series in which Peter Graves and a rotating cast of characters would get into espionage hijinks by way of the standards and practices of 1960s American television. It certainly had its dedicated fans, but a global phenomenon associated with pulse-pounding stunts, it ain’t. Which makes the modern transformation of the Tom Cruise-led Mission: Impossible movies into something of an action movie miracle. Originally intended to be a potential one-off star vehicle for Cruise, this spy franchise has endured for more than…

The Departed Almost Had a Ray Liotta and Martin Scorsese Reunion

New DVD release
Ray Liotta mixed affable identifiability with mobster menace for his role as Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas. It is one of the reasons the film became the gangster classic it is today. The director got what he wanted from an actor who knew how to give. It was the only time they worked together. But they almost pulled off at least one other job, and it may even have nabbed an extra Oscar. The actor who played it in The Departed certainly got a nomination. An Americanized remake of the 2002 Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs, The Departed was…
