Michael Keaton’s New Batman Movie Costume Revealed

New DVD release
Ah, the highs and lows of being a DC movie fan right now. On the one hand, we’ve got The Batman being hailed as a modern superhero movie masterpiece and about to get another shot in the arm as it hits streaming. On the other we have Ezra Miller’s troubling behavioral issues and the fact that The Flash movie has been delayed until 2023. But at about the same time rumors hit that corporate overlords at Warner Bros. Discovery are planning to “overhaul” DC Entertainment in the hopes of finding a more cohesive creative vision for their slate of superhero…

Could the DCEU Get Its Own “Kevin Feige” to Revitalize Superman and Other DC Characters?

New DVD release
Since The Avengers hit theaters 10 years ago, several film studios have tried to launch their own cinematic universes, leading to ventures such as Universal’s quickly abandoned Dark Universe or WB’s MonsterVerse, featuring King Kong and Godzilla. While all of these universes have had big budget support and recognizable characters, the MCU has retained one advantage: Kevin Feige, Marvel’s de facto showrunner. Warner Bros.’ DC Extended Universe tried for something similar, with Zack Snyder as the architect of a new era of superhero movies. But even though Snyder garnered a passionate cadre of fans, that the more successful DCEU installments…

The Northman: Inside Robert Eggers’ Epic Viking Saga

New DVD release
The Northman’s Robert Eggers did not know he was making a Viking movie when he sat down with Alexander Skarsgård. The pair were supposed to be having one of those typical industry meetings where talent trades notes, and each party gets a feel for the other person. “Meetings about nothing,” Eggers confides a few years later. And yet, when the writer-director of The Witch and The Lighthouse met the star of Big Little Lies and Tarzan, one word came up time and again: Vikings. “Maybe it was a meeting about nothing or maybe Alex had specific designs for me, I’m…

Ambulance: Michael Bay’s Best Movie in Decades Shouldn’t Have Flopped

New DVD release
It must be snowing in hell right now, because there’s a Michael Bay movie out and it’s a critical darling! Yes, that’s right, the filmmaker behind such dubious pop culture icons as the first five Transformers movies and Pearl Harbor has now, almost inexplicably, become one of the last men standing at the intersection of populism and auteur theory: a perpetually sunset-hued madman who beats on, boats against the current of modern, identity-less moviemaking. Seriously, over the weekend one of the Ambulance TV spots (which Universal Pictures has opted to not officially share online) trumpeted, “Critics have always hated Michael…

The Northman Review: The Definitive Viking Movie

New DVD release
Three features in, it’s beginning to look as if the much thrown around and overused term, “visionary,” can be applied with a great deal of justification to writer-director Robert Eggers. His new film The Northman follows in the footsteps of his two previous efforts, The Witch (2015) and The Lighthouse (2019), both of which created wholly immersive, fully detailed portraits of life in specific historical settings while exploring the thin line between the natural and the supernatural. The Northman takes much the same direction, only in the most epic scale that Eggers has worked with yet. Set in 10th-century Scandinavia…

The Good Movies Buried in the Original Casino Royale

New DVD release
If you asked somebody to rank all the James Bond movies in order of quality (and it’s the sort of thing we might do), there would likely be many different opinions about which one took the top spot. But definitely up there near the top would be Casino Royale, the Daniel Craig-starring series reboot released in 2006 that was also based on the first Ian Fleming 007 novel. If you went all the way to the other end of the list, and if you were including every Bond film ever made, not just the Eon Productions movies, you’d be likely…

Alexander Skarsgard: True Blood Paved Way for The Northman

New DVD release
Alexander Skarsgård has been fascinated by Vikings for about as long as he can remember. Truly, he is quick to point out that his childhood country home in Sweden was surrounded by runestones, which were typically medieval memorials for long gone Vikings who fell in glorious battle. So the Viking Age has walked with him since well before The Northman, a new blood-soaked epic from Robert Eggers, director of The Witch and The Lighthouse. Yet when we sat down to chat with Skarsgård about The Northman, we couldn’t help but note that this was hardly the first time he’s played…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: Will Poulter Confirms Intense Adam Warlock Transformation for MCU

New DVD release
How do you play a perfect person? That’s the challenge posed to actor Will Poulter, who’s preparing to play Adam Warlock in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. In a discussion with The Independent, Poulter described his process for getting into shape for the role. In short, it sounds a bit intense: “I wouldn’t recommend anyone do what I did to get ready for that job,” he told The Independent. In addition to spending lots of time in the gym, Poulter has been adhering to what he calls “a very, very specific diet.” That diet includes “quantities of food you wouldn’t…

The signal has been lit. After months of speculation, we now officially know when The Batman will leap from the shadows of the cinema and onto HBO Max. And it is happening soon. Fans will be able to watch the Caped Crusader’s latest adventure on April 18. At this point, you might be wondering who hasn’t seen The Batman. The film opened to critical and commercial success on March 4. Since then, it has earned $735 million as of this writing, making it 2022’s highest-grossing film thus far. Over the past few weeks, The Batman has slipped at the box office, falling first…

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore – It Can End Here

New DVD release
Following the Wizarding World Universe canon seems to be a complicated thing, especially when the author of said universe is constantly changing it. The last film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald seemed to throw out everything audiences knew about the history of the Harry Potter universe and created a mess as a result. Though there are still a lot of canonical problems, The Secrets of Dumbledore does try to right some wrongs by finally answering questions lingering for fans—including about Credence’s (Eza Miller) family history, Queenie’s (Alison Sudol) sudden heel turn, and who is Jessica Williams’ character we randomly…

What the Super Mario Movie Can Learn from Sonic the Hedgehog

New DVD release
It seems that every big video game character is getting their own movie nowadays. Sure, there’s always been a desire to translate big games into film, but the movement has hit new strides in the last couple of years, and 2022 is the biggest year for adaptations yet. Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg gave their take on Naughty Dog’s impeccable adventure series, Uncharted, but live action remakes have a little more leeway in their interpretation of the story. When Hollywood tries to take an animated icon into the theaters, it can get even trickier.  It’s fitting that in 2022 longtime…

Everything Everywhere: Inside the Craziest Fight Scene You’ll Ever See

New DVD release
This article contains mild Everything Everywhere All at Once spoilers. Michelle Yeoh has reigned as the undisputed queen of Kung Fu movies since the ‘90s and that’s no easy task. She’s worked under the greatest and most demanding fight choreographers in the industry, including Jackie Chan, Yuen Woo-Ping, Sammo Hung, and many others.

Samuel L. Jackson Is the Ultimate Nick Fury MCU Writer

New DVD release
Like so many things related to Marvel, it all started in the Ultimate Universe. In issue #4 of The Ultimates, team members fan cast each in a movie adaptation of their lives. When asked about his pick, Fury responds, “Mr. Samuel L. Jackson, of course.” The line, written by Mark Millar, referenced the fact that penciler Bryan Hitch used Jackson as an inspiration for this new version of the Director of SHIELD. Appropriately, Hitch’s drawings helped lead to Jackson being cast as Nick Fury for Iron Man in 2008, taking the place of David Hasselhoff, who played the character in…

Best Superhero Movies of the Last 15 Years

New DVD release
Superhero movies have existed as a genre since at least Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie. Which means it’s been nearly 45 years since moviegoers started to believe a man could fly—and more importantly wished to see it again and again. Even so, it feels like our modern understanding of the superhero flick didn’t come of age until 2008. That was the year of The Dark Knight, Iron Man, and the MCU. The industry would never be the same. Almost serendipitously, Den of Geek was there to see this inflection point after launching in 2007, as well as every step of…

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Post-Credits Scene Explained

New DVD release
This article contains Sonic the Hedgehog 2 spoilers. A certain Punxsutawney groundhog may or may not get to see his shadow each February, but it was in April 2022 we all got our first glimpse of Sonic the Hedgehog’s shadow on the big screen. And for Sega fans who came of age during the Dreamcast’s reign, it was glorious. Following in the footsteps of the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which concluded with both a tease of Dr. Robotnik’s imminent return and Tails arriving to Green Hills in search of his blue-hued buddy, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 teases a couple…

Jimmy Wang Yu: The Essential Martial Arts Movies

New DVD release
On April 5th, 2022, the martial arts world lost one of its very first cinematic heroes. Jimmy Wang Yu passed away peacefully at the Taipei Zhenxing Hospital at the age of 80 after a six-year battle with declining health. Upon hearing the news, Jackie Chan posted on his blog, “The contributions you’ve made to kung fu movies, and the support and wisdom you’ve given to the younger generations will always be remembered in the industry.” By younger generations, Jackie was referring to himself. Wang helped Jackie get a foothold in Kung Fu movies. In 1976, Wang faced Chan in one…

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Review: Blue Is the New Bland

New DVD release
As a young child, Steven Spielberg’s Hook was one of my favorite movies. The kind where you’d wear out the VHS tape and your parents’ patience when such a thing was possible (today only parents’ nerves can fray). It wasn’t until I was older that I became aware that almost every grown-up loathed that picture in ‘91—including my parents. And Spielberg. Yet when I watch that movie still, I can’t really see the flaws. Nostalgia and John Williams’ sonic joys are too blinding. The memory of this came back while watching Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Which is not to say…

Ambulance Is Michael Bay’s Best Film in Years

New DVD release
Yes, it’s true (and we still can’t believe we wrote that headline above): Ambulance, the new action thriller from none other than director Michael Bay, might just be the divisive filmmaker’s best effort in this century. After spending a decade in the cinematic hell that was his Transformers series, where he churned out one unwatchable, incoherent, headache-inducing pile of crap after another—with a couple of breaks for the modestly better Pain and Gain in 2013, the politically dumbed-down 13 Hours in 2016, and the tediously awful 6 Underground in 2019—Bay has produced his most consistently enjoyable movie since 1996’s The…

The Flash: Ezra Miller’s Legal Troubles Are More Bad News for the SnyderVerse

New DVD release
This post contains slight spoilers for PEACEMAKER episode eight. The Flash has hit another speed bump. The long-in-development solo film about the fastest man alive seemed to have finally found the finish line, with a June 2023 release date nearing. But when star Ezra Miller was arrested in March for disorderly conduct and harassment, things looked bleak once again. Rolling Stone has learned that the incident prompted Warner Bros. officials to hold a meeting regarding Miller’s role with the studio. According to Rolling Stone, executives have decided to “hit pause” on any further work involving Miller, including their appearances in…
