Thor: Love and Thunder Box Office Gives Marvel Vindication (Again)

New DVD release
If one looked at box office numbers alone, it’d be easy to recognize that Marvel Studios remains the surest bet in Hollywood—and one exhibitors remain reliant on in the fight to drive up foot traffic throughout the year. However, there have been some grumblings as of late about the direction (or perceived lack thereof) that the Disney production company has been headed in during “Phase 4.” Even so, Thor: Love and Thunder appears likely to moot that conversation, at least for a time. While the new fourthquel’s reception during its opening weekend may not silence those criticisms forever, its healthy…

Thor Must Abandon Comedy After Love and Thunder

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Thor: Love and Thunder. Back in my days as a metal and hard rock journalist, and when dinosaurs ruled the earth, a lot of bands would trot out a variation of this mantra when they had a new album on the horizon: “The heavier parts are really heavy, and the melodic parts are much more melodic.” That was an immediate red flag, of course. It meant that the band was still allowed to write and record some heavy material, but the record label was also pressuring them to include more power ballads and radio-friendly tunes…

Chelsea Hotel Documentary Captures an Urban Horror Story

New DVD release
Executive produced by Martin Scorsese, Belgian filmmakers Maya Duverdier and Amélie van Elmbt’s documentary, Dreaming Walls: Inside the Chelsea Hotel, is a deeply moving spiritual deconstruction of a cultural landmark. The directors trust the viewer to know the history going in, allowing Dreaming Walls to capture the mood of the Chelsea.  New York City’s Hotel Chelsea opened on 23rd St. in 1884. Its 12 stories of brick housed some of the greatest names across all the arts. Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain were among the earliest check-ins. Madonna planned her global domination, and later shot photographs for her book, Sex,…

In Thor: Love and Thunder Marvel Finally Does Right By Jane Foster

New DVD release
The following contains Thor: Love and Thunder spoilers. Thor: Love and Thunder is a movie that serves many masters. Part philosophical treatise on gods and belief, part bittersweet reflection on regret and making up for lost time, and part himbo road trip adventure complete with giant screaming goats, it’s a movie whose separate pieces don’t always mesh that well with one another but that somehow still ends up being more entertaining than it has any right to be.  And a big part of the reason for that is the long-awaited return of Natalie Portman as Dr. Jane Foster, a character…

The Big Thor: Love and Thunder Cameos

New DVD release
This article contains Thor: Love and Thunder spoilers. While 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok had a moderate (and amusing) number of cameos, Thor: Love and Thunder really ups the ante in terms of surprise walk-ons. Some of the unexpected appearances in this movie are from Marvel first-timers while others are from characters who previously showed up in either Ragnarok or those other movies about the God of Thunder that we don’t like to talk about anymore. Well, at least Thor: The Dark World—the first Thor is still pretty good if you ask us!) There are also a handful of cameos from real-life…

The Many Faces of Face/Off: How The Classic Almost Didn’t Star Nicolas Cage

New DVD release
The 1990s was a decade packed full of brilliant action movies but few, if any, reached the delirious heights of 1997’s Face/Off. Built around an absurd yet ingenious premise involving a cop switching faces with a comatosed master criminal in order to find and defuse a bomb, only for said bad guy to then awaken and return the favor, it featured a director and pair of A-list stars at the peak of their career powers. Nicolas Cage had just won an Oscar in 1995 for his breakout performance in Leaving Las Vegas, following that up with two star-making turns in…

Thor: Love and Thunder Ending Explained: What It Means for the MCU

New DVD release
This post contains THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER spoilers. At the beginning of Thor: Love and Thunder, the kindly Kronun Korg invited us to gather around and hear the story of Thor, the Space Viking who lost his way. By the end of the movie, Thor seems to have found himself, discovering a new purpose caring for the daughter of his one-time enemy Gorr and traveling the stars righting any wrongs, wherever he finds them.  Along the way, Thor got some closure on his failed relationship with ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who joined him and King Valkyrie as the Mighty Thor in…

Brett Goldstein: Where to Watch the Ted Lasso Actor Next

New DVD release
How far can immaculate eyebrows and a whole host of talent get you in life? Well, if Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein is any indication, the answer is pretty freaking far! When Ted Lasso first premiered on Apple TV+ in August 2020, it immediately made waves for having a deep bench of compelling supporting players to act opposite lead Jason Sudeikis. But with the utmost respect to Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, and everyone else in the AFC Richmond football team’s orbit, it was Brett Goldstein’s Roy Kent who jumped off the screen in particular. Loosely inspired by the real life…

How India Rose Hemsworth Improves the MCU in Thor: Love and Thunder

New DVD release
This article contains major Thor: Love and Thunder spoilers Love is a force greater than hate. That simple yet enduring message is at the heart of Thor: Love and Thunder—and to the movie’s credit, the meaning comes through in a way no one expected. Going into the theater for the fourth adventure of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor Odinson, most audiences likely anticipated the new film to be a sweet romantic comedy between Thor and Natalie Portman’s returned Dr. Jane Foster, aka the Mighty Thor. It is called “Love and Thunder,” after all. But as it turns out, the “Love” in Thor…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Cast, Story, Release Date, Trailer News and More!

New DVD release
In 2014, when the Marvel Cinematic Universe was proving itself to be a huge success of a project and Phase 2 was in full swing, Guardians of the Galaxy was seen as a big gamble. Instead of adapting a Marvel mainstay from the 1960s, they were making a movie based on a space-based superhero team that existed briefly in the mid-00s. Marvel was going to be expanding their universe with an adventure starring the chubby guy from Parks and Recreation and a professional wrestler. The movie’s style was previewed in a mid-credits scene in Thor: The Dark World and it…

Thor: Love and Thunder Post-Credits Scenes Explained

New DVD release
This article contains Thor: Love and Thunder spoilers. Even more than his previous outing with Thor: Ragnarok, Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder takes the titular Space Viking beyond the previously established boundaries of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From wandering across the stars with the Guardians of the Galaxy to coming face to face with Eternity, the embodiment of the MCU itself, Thor found his new purpose in the most unlikely of places.  But like all other MCU movies, the end of the story is not the end of Thor: Love and Thunder. With an end-credit sequence and a post-credit…

What MCU Things to Watch Before Thor: Love and Thunder

New DVD release
It’s hard to believe 11 years have passed since Chris Hemsowrth smashed a coffee mug across the floor and shouted “ANOTHER!” Yet here we are, more than 20 Marvel movies later, breathlessly awaiting Hemsworth’s eighth live-action appearance as the Space Viking they call Thor and his newest adventure across the cosmos. As the first Thor movie to be helmed by a returning director, in this case Thor: Ragnarok’s Taika Waititi, there’s a lot of connective tissue with that film and this weekend’s Thor: Love and Thunder. But you might be surprised at which other MCU projects will be apropos to…

Batman & Robin: Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy Still Deserve Redemption

New DVD release
When Batman & Robin came out 25 years ago in the summer of 1997, it pretty much acted as the death knell for the Dark Knight on the big screen. Following on the heels of 1995’s Batman Forever, this silly, sub-juvenile horror show from director Joel Schumacher killed any good will built up by the earlier Tim Burton Batman movies and created such an awkward situation for Warner Bros. that they ultimately decided it would be better to reboot the franchise eight years later by letting Christopher Nolan go in startling new directions with Batman Begins (2005). Since then we’ve…

Thor: Love and Thunder Review

New DVD release
Thor: Love and Thunder begins with the image of a bald man, dehydrated and abandoned, walking through a desert with a small child limp in his arms. It’s remarkable since before this sight, our only impression of the Marvel Studios fourthquel has been marketing that’s reveled in the blithe and psychedelic. As the Love and Thunder title suggests, this is meant to be a goofy romantic comedy, with an emphasis on comedy. Right? Yet the film starts not on chuckles or kisses; instead it opens with Christian Bale’s forlorn and forgotten Gorr, an alien of nondescript origin who’s been left…

The Batman Movie That Divided Fans Becomes a Surprise Hit on Netflix

New DVD release
Matt Reeves’ The Batman kicked off a new era of Dark Knight tales earlier this year, one in which a broody Robert Pattinson punishes criminals night after night while completely shedding the billionaire playboy persona that has long defined Bruce Wayne in pop culture. It’s definitely a different take than general audiences are used to seeing in theaters. But this year’s film marks the beginning of just the latest era of Batman movies for Warner Bros. Before The Batman, there was Zack Snyder’s DCEU take on the Caped Crusader. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Ben Affleck’s Bat branded…

The Failure of Lightyear: Does Disney Have a Streaming Problem?

New DVD release
It was a very happy Fourth of July holiday weekend for movie theater owners in the U.S. For the second week in a row, the top three highest grossing movies all crossed $20 million when the four-day window is accounted for. More impressive still, all of the weekend’s top five grossing pics are on the road to turning a hefty profit, with the second highest earner, Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick, adding an astonishing $25.8 million to its gargantuan $564.3 million domestic total despite being in its sixth weekend. It’s giddy news for distributors and exhibitors who bet there was still…

Battlestar Galactica: What’s Going On With the New Movie and TV Shared Universe?

New DVD release
It’s been 13 years since the Galactica reached Earth. We watched in the 2009 finale “Daybreak” as Admiral Adama, President Roslin, Apollo, Starbuck, Gaius Baltar, and Caprica Six walked towards a bright and unwritten future in their new home. It was a cathartic (but predictably divisive) ending to a six-year TV journey that remains one of the best and most influential in science fiction history. There’s no question that Battlestar Galactica paved the way for other serious, gritty political sci-fi dramas like The Expanse and the recently released Foundation adaptation. But Battlestar Galactica‘s legacy is one thing. What about its…

Stranger Things: Best Monster TV Shows & Movies to Watch Next

New DVD release
Gloop. Guts. Gigantic gore creatures from alternate dimensions having tentacles axed off by plucky schoolkids who should by rights be doing homework/a paper route instead of saving the world, but honestly, who else is going to do it? Not the government, not the military and definitely not the shady experimental lab on the edge of town that’s the reason all the local rats now glow in the dark… That’s the kind of thing a show like Stranger Things offers, and now that season four is finished and Vecna is safely sealed up in psychic-proof Tupperware and buried under Mount Rushmore…

How Star Trek: Nemesis Pulled off a Major Character Cameo

New DVD release
One of the highlights of the current era of Star Trek is the return of Kate Mulgrew to the role of Admiral Kathryn Janeway, who fans first met as the captain of the USS Voyager in the series of the same name. During Voyager‘s original run from 1995 to 2001, Janeway led the stranded Intrepid-class starship through a hostile Delta Quadrant full of Borg, and when she finally got her crew back home safe, the captain was promoted to vice admiral by Starfleet. Longtime Star Trek fans may remember that Admiral Janeway’s promotion was first revealed on the big screen,…
