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

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

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

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…

Fanny: The Right to Rock Spotlights a Boundary Breaking Band

From the moment their first shows were advertised, Fanny was promoted as an all-girl band, but the label wears thin in director Bobbie Jo Hart’s Fanny: The Right to Rock. Each member says it themselves in the feature documentary, and tried telling record companies there were far more interesting things to say about them beyond the mystery of their gender. They broke through, but only barely, because sexism in rock and roll was so deeply ingrained psychologically, not even the promotion departments could think of anything else to say. This is probably why Alice de Buhr remarks, at one point…

Jennifer Connelly Reacts to The Rocketeer Legacy Sequel

Jennifer Connelly is flying high these days on the big screen, both literally and figuratively. Starring opposite Tom Cruise in one of his signature roles, Connelly is the second lead in Top Gun: Maverick, a film which just shattered the Memorial Day box office record with a $160 million haul. The film also features an astonishing flying sequence in which Cruise takes Connelly up in what appears to be a World War II-era single-engine plane. When we sat down with the Oscar winner last month, she told us that really was her up there in the clouds with Cruise at…

How The Amazing Spider-Man Finally Settled the Organic Web-Shooters Debate

Organic webs or mechanical? As nonsensical as that question sounds in 2022, believe me that a little over two decades ago it was spoken about with the hushed severity of religion during the Reformation. Do you think Spider-Man should have organic web-shooters or mechanical? If you answered incorrectly in certain parts of the early wild west days of the internet, you could find yourself cast out from digital communities like a leper. In retrospect, it was perhaps a prelude to how fan communities would organize around social media. This tumultuous upheaval among Marvel fandom was fallout from the very first…

Geek Moments of the Last 15 Years That Shook Pop Culture

Can you believe Den of Geek has been around since 2007? That’s practically the olden days. And a lot has happened in pop culture since we launched. Superheroes certainly weren’t as pervasive as they currently are, the Oscars has made some serious shifts, major trends in gaming appeared (and sometimes disappeared), Disney has taken over the universe, Game of Thrones was a thing and we had our first female Doctor. And that’s not all… We’ve taken stock of the major geek events of the last 15 years to take stock of how far we have come. The Birth of the…

Marvel’s Kevin Feige Wants to Be More Hands-off With MCU Fantastic Four Movie

For better or for worse, MCU boss Kevin Feige has a reputation for being very involved in the production of Marvel films. Feige’s tendency to oversee the plots of MCU installments and their aesthetic has allowed the franchise to achieve pop culture domination and build a cohesive cinematic universe, but it has also led to some sameness across films. Although directors such as James Gunn, Taika Waititi, Ryan Coogler, and Sam Raimi have been able to inject some individual personality into the films, movies such as Spider-Man: No Way Home feel to some as if they were directed by a committee. But…

Morbius: Will ‘Morbin Time’ Sequel Happen if Folks Keep Hate-Watching?

Morbius is coming back to theaters. No, stop laughing. We’re being serious! The vampire-superhero spinoff, which is based on an obscure piece of Spider-Man IP, might’ve been met with derision and chuckles last April when it opened to a (just barely) respectable $39 million—and then tumbled a disastrous 74 percent in its second weekend—but Morbius has now become such a darling of fan culture on home media that it’s getting a second life in theaters. “THE MORBIUS returns to over 1,000+ theaters this weekend!” trumpeted the industry’s centralized box office analysts, Exhibitor Relations Co., in a tweet that stylized Morbius’…

The Boys’ Karl Urban Addresses Possibility of Playing Wolverine in the MCU

It’s hard to underestimate the importance of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Known only as a theatre performer in the late 1990s, Jackman was chosen to replace Dougray Scott in X-Men after the latter was injured while shooting Mission: Impossible II. Jackman’s vulnerable and furious performance as the Canadian mutant spanned seven movies (not counting cameos) and 17 years, turning him into one of the first breakout stars of the superhero movie genre. Now that Disney’s purchase of Fox Studios has brought the X-Men back under Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige and other producers are taking their time casting the role of the…

The Russo Brothers: How Community ‘Prepared Us’ for Marvel

Joe Russo can still recall long days on the set of Community—and how rarely they ever actually ended. In retrospect, the entire experience might be described as a blur, a mad marathon in which every episode offered its own sprint toward a shifting finish line. But it’s also an experience the director clearly cherishes, now more than a decade on since his time in the trenches of that cult sitcom. And while he and his brother Anthony Russo have certainly gone on to bigger things, including the biggest global hit of all-time with Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame, there remains a…

District 9 Sequel Hopes Kept Alive with Surprising New Update

In July 2009, South African director Neill Blomkamp went from relative unknown to sci-fi’s rising star. That was the month District 9 hit theaters, raising moviegoers’ hopes for more genre movies that tackled big questions. But although Blomkamp has worked steadily since those days, he has never returned to the world that made him famous. However, Blomkamp has not given up hope. While chatting with the site Dexerto about his new battle royale game Off the Grid, Blomkamp gave an update on his planned District 9 sequel: “I am still working on it.” This certainly isn’t the first time that the director has shared hopes…

Hulu New Releases: June 2022

Summer is about to finally, blessedly be in full swing. And to honor the occasion, Hulu is showing up big with its list of new releases for June 2022. Hulu is bringing two major TV titles to its stream this month. The first is The Orville: New Horizons on June 2. Seth MacFarlane’s sci-fi/comedy started as a simple Star Trek parody on Fox before blossoming into its own entirely sincere space adventuring beast. Now “New Horizons” promises to be a fresh start for the series on Hulu. Next up is Only Murders in the Building season 2 on June 28.…

What Does a Morbius Sequel Even Look Like?

Well, great. Morbius is relevant again. You internet kids just couldn’t let it die, could you? You had to make your, “It’s Morbin’ time!” jokes and cause this stupid movie to trend. Some have been afraid that this trend will trick Sony – who don’t fully understand the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s success – to greenlight a Morbius sequel, despite some less than franchise-ready box office results. Such a decision would be as disastrous and wasteful as when New Line did massive reshoots to capitalize on the online popularity of the “Snakes on a Plane” meme. I still doubt that we’ll…

HBO Max New Releases: June 2022

With its list of new releases for June 2022, HBO Max is joining in what should be a TV summer to remember. Not content to let Netflix’s Stranger Things or Prime Video’s The Boys to dominate the summer TV landscape, HBO is coming through with a new season of one of its big hits. Westworld season 4 is set to premiere June 26 on both HBO and HBO Max. What will this season of the increasingly confusing sci-fi drama be about? Per HBO’s synopsis it will be “A dark odyssey about the fate of sentient life on earth.” So you…

Disney+ New Releases June 2022

With its list of new releases for June 2022, Disney+ is experience an ideal Walt Disney Company content eclipse. This month will feature both the series premiere of a major Marvel TV property and the finale of an even bigger Star Wars TV property. The new Marvel arrival is…well, Ms. Marvel herself. The series bearing Kamala Khan’s superheroic name is set to premiere with its first episode on Wednesday, June 8. And none of those “multiple episode premiere” shenanigans this time, Ms. Marvel will continue with one episode each week until its sixth episode finale, as the TV gods intended.…

Star Wars Confirms Future Sequel Trilogy Era Movie Plans

If you tuned into Star Wars Celebration last week hoping to get lots of updates on Lucasfilm’s upcoming slate of films set in the galaxy far, far away, you likely came away very disappointing. We learned virtually nothing new about the three films currently in development during the four-day conference in Anaheim. Instead, the Disney+ series were the real stars of the show, with The Mandalorian season 3, Andor, Ahsoka, The Bad Batch, and new animated series Tales of the Jedi taking top billing. There was even a new Star Wars video game announced over the weekend, but not a…

Best Summer Movies of the Last 15 Years

Like a blast of chlorine water on the first day the pool’s open, the joys of summer come fast and sudden. For every person, that joy can be different too. For some it might mean the smell of barbecue and a cold beverage; for others it could be an escape into the wilds of a sun-kissed coast or a rolling hiking trail. For almost everyone, however, summer has also long meant a chance to disappear into the fantasies of their local cinema for a few hours, preferably with ice-cold air conditioning cranked all the way up. While being able to…

Examining Hollywood’s Growing Obsession With Legacy Sequels

Legacy sequels, it seems, are here to stay. After Hollywood dipped its toe in the water more than a decade ago with Tron: Legacy (2010) and Scream 4 (2011), reviving titles that seemed all but dead and buried, the genre really caught fire in 2015 with no less than four follow-ups to franchises that had been dormant for anywhere from nine to 30 years. Out of those four (more on them below), every one of them was a tremendous hit, opening the floodgates for more such resurrections. With more properties continuing their storylines and setting them years later—almost always with…
