E.T.: The Kids Movie That Is Really About Divorce

New DVD release
The scene is familiar to every child of the ‘80s. Little 10-year-old Elliott and his older brother Michae —still learning how to drive a car—have stolen a van in order to help their newfound alien friend E.T. After rescuing him from the clutches of a team of government agents intent on studying the creature, they rendezvous with Michael’s buddies at a local park. Elliott explains to them that E.T. is a man from outer space and that they’re taking him, via their bicycles, to his spaceship. “Well, can’t he just…beam up?” asks one of the boys. “This is REALITY, Greg,”…

Jurassic Park ‘Wasn’t Just Another Job’ for Sam Neill

New DVD release
It was 29 years ago that a movie came out and changed the course of film history. Jurassic Park, based on the novel by Michael Crichton and directed by Steven Spielberg, came roaring into theaters in June 1993 and ushered in a whole new era of visual effects-driven filmmaking. Not since the halcyon days of Ray Harryhausen’s pioneering work with stop-motion animation had anyone attempted to realistically put dinosaurs on the big screen, using groundbreaking new advancements in the still relatively new field (for film, anyway) of computer-generated imagery along with the latest developments in animatronics and other traditional effects…

Léa Seydoux: No Time to Die Ending ‘Made Me Really Sad’

New DVD release
This article contains No Time to Die spoilers. One of the most surprising pop culture moments of last year was the climax of No Time to Die, the 25th film in the James Bond franchise and the final to star Daniel Craig as 007. There’s a fuller explanation of the story and ending here but what it comes down to is that, at the end of his battle with the villainous Safin (Rami Malek), a gravely wounded and infected Bond chooses not to make a spectacular escape and sacrifices himself so that Safin’s lair and the deadly pathogen he had…

Taika Waititi’s Star Wars Movie Release Date Plans in Doubt After Script Update

New DVD release
While Lucasfilm’s slate of Star Wars live-action series continues to expand out from The Mandalorian and into new corners of the in-universe timeline, it’s hard to tell what exactly is going on with the movies. The studio didn’t bring any film updates to Star Wars Celebration Anaheim last month, and the movie it planned to release in 2023, Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron, will miss that slot due to alleged “creative differences” during the script writing process. It now seems very possible we won’t see the galaxy far, far away on the big screen again for another couple of years. That…

How Jurassic World Dominion ‘Fixes’ Jurassic Park III

New DVD release
This article contains Jurassic World Dominion spoilers. Were Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) an item in the original Jurassic Park movie from 1993? Fans still debate the issue almost 30 years later. While the characters never embrace with more than a hug over the course of that Steven Spielberg classic, and refer to each other as almost anything other than friends or colleagues, it was long assumed by most who viewed the movie in ’93 that they were a couple. After all, Alan is quite defensive of Ellie when he sees Jeff Goldblum’s Ian…

Mission: Impossible Movies – Best Action Scenes Ranked

New DVD release
In one of several meaty monologues Sean Harris gets to chew on in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, his villainous Solomon Lane turns the franchise’s most famous line in on itself. “Your mission, should you choose to accept it,” he whispers with the conspiratorial undertones of Lucifer. “I wonder, Ethan, did you ever choose not to? Did you ever stop and ask yourself who it was giving you the orders or why?” It’s a great smaller moment in a movie remembered largely for its epic bombast (as you’ll see below), and another example of writer-director Christopher McQuarrie digging down into the…

Jurassic World: Best Dinosaurs Ranked

New DVD release
This article contains mild Jurassic World Dominion spoilers. We all agree that Jurassic Park is a masterpiece, right? Perfectly directed and acted, and augmented by one of John Williams’ best scores. And we should also agree that the rest of them are trash. To be clear, I don’t mean that derisively—killer dinosaur movies should be kind of trashy. While Steven Spielberg brought a sense of wonder and genuine emotion to the first film, not even he could make the sequel anything more than a nasty movie about dinosaurs eating people.  That fact has been the blessing and curse of the…

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol Is Where It Became a True Team Ensemble

New DVD release
Don’t worry; this message will not self-destruct. Tom Cruise is flying high following the box office haul of Top Gun: Maverick this summer. And next year, Cruise will look to unseat his now highest domestic earner with the next installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. While Top Gun: Maverick was a triumphant return to mega-star status, cashing in on the legacy sequel trend with a lean, effective script and dazzling practical stunts, it can be argued that Cruise’s recent M:I films laid the groundwork with audiences. It’s easy to forget, but the mid-2000s…

Chris Evans Mulls Possible MCU Return as Captain America

New DVD release
Anyone even remotely familiar with comic books knows that superheroes never die. Peter Parker’s beloved Uncle Ben may be forever pushing up daisies, but if even Jason Todd and Bucky Barnes can return from the grave, then nobody is gone forever. That might even be true for live-action (at least, in Disney-owned properties), as Carrie Fisher and Peter Cushing appeared in Star Wars films after their deaths and even a young Mark Hamill popped up in The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett. With these possibilities out there, it’s no wonder that so many Marvel fans hope to see Chris Evans once again as the…

Jurassic World: Will There Be More Sequels?

New DVD release
It’s a major part of the advertising for Jurassic World Dominion: the new movie, sixth in the overall franchise and third in the Jurassic World trilogy, is being billed as the “epic conclusion to the Jurassic era,” a sneaky combination of words that makes it seem as if this will be the last movie in the entire Jurassic Park/World saga that started back in 1993. Even the original stars of the first film—Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum—are back alongside current leads Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard for what has been advertised as a true grand finale. But…

Black Adam Trailer: Meet Doctor Fate, Hawkman, and Atom Smasher

New DVD release
Even though they debuted in 1941’s All Star Comics #3, and have had several incarnations on TV, the Justice Society of America has never made it to the big screen. That’s all set to change this year when Black Adam hits theaters. In the highly-anticipated first full-length trailer for Dwayne Johnson’s DC Comics passion project we’re introduced to three members of the DCEU’s JSA. And they look cool as heck! If you haven’t seen that trailer yet, check it out here! But who are the JSA members? What are their powers? Where did they originate? We’re here to answer all…

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…
