Our Father: Netflix Makes Terrifying True Life Doc with a Soul

New DVD release
It actually sounds like a story from a comic book about a super villain: an evil doctor impregnates countless women without their knowledge to breed a vast aryan race of offspring who grow up to form an army. And when we say vast, we’re talking 96 siblings and counting. Sadly, this is a true story and the subject of Netflix’s latest documentary, Our Father. In Indianapolis fertility doctor Donald Cline used his own sperm as donor material for his patients repeatedly, without their knowledge or consent – sometimes replacing anonymous sperm, and sometimes, horrifically, replacing their partner’s sample. Many of…

Why Jason X Is a Perfect Friday the 13th Sequel

New DVD release
This article contains Jason X spoilers Anyone watching a Friday the 13th movie today comes to the classic slasher franchise with more than a few expectations. They want to see Jason Voorhees, of course, complete with his hockey mask and machete. But they likely also want to see some intellectually-challenged teens (played by people in their late 20s and early 30s) get torn apart by a lumbering monster they could never hope to stop. It may surprise some Friday neophytes to learn that as formulaic as the series may be, not every entry contains all of those expected elements. Not…

Dune: Part 2 – Christopher Walken Is Perfect Choice for a God Emperor

New DVD release
Continuing in the trend of the first Dune film from director Denis Villeneuve, the newcomers to the Dune: Part Two ensemble cast have been nothing but heavy-hitters: Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan; rising star Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha (allegedly); and now the Grand Poobah of them all, Christopher Walken as Shaddam IV, head of House Corrino and Padishah Emperor of the Imperium! It seems fitting. The news, which comes out of Deadline ahead of the film’s fall start date for principal photography, is in-keeping with a universe already populated with familiar faces after the first movie. In that 2021 picture,…

Doctor Strange 2 Writer On That Tom Cruise Iron Man Rumor

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness It’s easily the coolest moment we’ve seen yet in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (maybe the second coolest, after a certain convening of several webslingers in Spider-Man: No Way Home): two-thirds of the way through Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the Master of the Mystic Arts (Benedict Cumberbatch), stuck for the moment on Earth-838 in a different universe, is brought before the Illuminati, a council of superheroes who do their best to guide history and protect their realm. The members of the Illuminati include…

Why Danny Boyle’s James Bond Movie Didn’t Happen

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for No Time to Die. With the MCU continuing to dominate cinemas, much talk has been directed at producer Kevin Feige and his ability to maintain a popular franchise of 14 years. But before Feige, there was Albert “Cubby” Broccoli, producer of the James Bond franchise. Since the first Bond feature film, Dr. No, released in 1962, the Broccoli family has remained at the helm, ensuring that the beloved secret agent remains his essential self, even as he keeps up with the changing times. For that reason, it was a bit of a surprise when, in…

Lloyd Kaufman Directed His Last Film But Troma Continues to Cancel Culture

New DVD release
Troma Entertainment’s Lloyd Kaufman is as unique as his studio is independent. Ironic, sarcastic, or provocatively caustic, Uncle Lloyd has got something to say and gets his point across on several levels simultaneously. It’s more economical. The iconic studio is renowned for cult classics like Class of Nuke ‘Em High, Chopper Chicks in Zombietown, and Surf Nazis Must Die, but the low-budget auteur maintained a diverse career of almost 50 years of “reel independence.” Troma was founded in 1974 by Yale film society buddies Kaufman and Michael Herz. Their movies were produced on tiny budgets and were proudly proclaimed to…

Why Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Doesn’t Connect to Loki

New DVD release
This post contains very light spoilers to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. For detractors of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the franchise’s interconnectedness can be a burden. Case in point: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which builds directly off the resolution to WandaVision. But it’s somewhat surprising that Multiverse of Madness did not at all connect to another Disney+. Loki was not only the installment that first unleashed the multiverse on the MCU but also shared a head writer in Michael Waldron.  But Waldron has a simple reason that the two properties did not intersect: “If it…

Kevin Feige’s Star Wars Movie Drops First Plot Hints

New DVD release
When Disney announced a decade ago its plans to release one Star Wars film a year, starting with 2015’s The Force Awakens, the studio likely didn’t factor a three-year lull after the end of Sequel Trilogy into its plans. But almost three years since the release of 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, the state of the film franchise is up in the air. While Star Wars has continued to thrive on Disney+ during that time, it’s unclear when the saga will actually return to the big screen. Yes, Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron movie is currently slated for a Dec. 2023…

The X-Men Need to Evolve for the MCU

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for the last two years or so of Marvel X-Men comics. “Humans of the planet Earth. While you slept, the world changed.”  The opening line of Jonathan Hickman and Pepe Larraz’s House of X hit like a bolt of lightning, and everything it promised paid off. Hickman took over the floundering X-Men line of comics, isolated and diminished after years of corporate meddling, and reinvigorated them creatively and financially with an exciting five-year plan.  House of X and Powers of X was Hickman, Larraz, RB Silva and Marte Gracia’s overture. It started with a barrage of…

Stephen King ’80s Movies: His Best and Worst

New DVD release
The 1980s were in many ways peak Stephen King when it came to screen adaptations. For one thing, the man himself was at the height of his popularity. He has of course remained one of the world’s best-selling authors for decades, but his initial string of books that started in the mid-1970s and extended well into the ‘80s—which included classics like Carrie, ‘Salem’s Lot, The Shining, The Stand, and Different Seasons, just to name a handful—made him into a genuine publishing phenomenon like no other. At the same time, the success of Brian De Palma’s 1976 big screen adaptation of…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Set Photos Tease One of Marvel’s Strangest Locations

New DVD release
When Guardians of the Galaxy released in 2014, it took viewers to some of the most exotic worlds from Marvel Comics, including the Nova home world Xandar and Knowhere, the city built in the severed head of a dead Celestial. If recent leaked set photos are to be believed, the franchise will continue this tradition with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. In a series of photos from Instagram user atlanta_filming, we can see various pedestrian objects such as police cars and advertising that appear to be from Earth. But if you look closer, you’ll notice that the writing on these objects belongs…

U.S. Marshals: Robert Downey Jr.’s Forgotten Pre-Marvel Action Movie

New DVD release
No one saw this coming: U.S. Marshals, the 1998 sequel/spinoff of 1993’s The Fugitive, skyrocketed on Netflix’s movie chart in 2022. It’s a strange development considering the movie’s age and how, frankly, irrelevant it’s been since it hit theaters. Yet its return to some form of cultural awareness—that is perhaps higher than when it came out two decades ago—is curious. How did this happen? The most likely needle mover here is likely Robert Downey Jr., who plays a supporting role as hot-shot secret agent John Royce, who joins U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones, reprising his Oscar-winning role from…

The 1980s Doctor Strange Movie You Never Saw

New DVD release
With Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness being a box office sensation, excitement over anything related to Marvel’s, uh, supreme wizard has reached a fever pitch. Perhaps the most mystifying thing about Strange is the movies that almost happened.  One of the most curious of these abandoned projects is a script written by Bob Gale. Fresh off of co-creating and co-writing Back to the Future with Robert Zemeckis, Gale’s script did a more than adequate job of bringing Strange to life. The problem — well one of them — was that any attempts to tell Doctor Strange’s story in…

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: The Comics That Inspired the Movie

New DVD release
This article contains Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness spoilers. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the latest MCU entry and a lot of people have been checking it out, starting its first weekend off with $450 million internationally. While much of it feels inspired from Sam Raimi’s other work, it is a comic book movie featuring a lot of different elements. When you leave the theater, you or one of your friends might be interested in checking out the comics that inspired this movie. Even when a Marvel Cinematic Universe project is based on an existing…

Is Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ‘Too Scary?’

New DVD release
This article contains groovy Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness spoilers. Criticism of Marvel Studios movies is not a new phenomenon. Despite their pictures generally receiving solid marks from a plurality of critics almost every outing—at least as judged by the simple up/down metric of Rotten Tomatoes—there’s always a loud contingent of detractors whose grievances should be familiar by now: a visual and narrative uniformity; a lack of stylistic variation; an overreliance on blue screen and CGI; and where is the authorial voice? So seeing the inversion of that around Sam Raimi’s gleefully distinct and stylish Doctor Strange in…

How Moon Knight Almost Tied Into Thor: Love and Thunder

New DVD release
This post contains spoilers for MOON KNIGHT. Gods have always been part of the MCU. Wakandans thank Bast and Sekhmet, Captain America assured Black Widow that “There’s only one God,” and the Celestials shown in Guardians of the Galaxy and Eternals create and destroy worlds. But without question, the series most concerned with deities has been Thor. Since the first film, Thor has dealt with not only the titular god of thunder, but also the All-Father Odin, the trickster god Loki, and the goddess of death Hela. The only series to rival Thor in god content has been Moon Knight…

Star Wars Confirms New Sith Villain to Hunt Luke Skywalker

New DVD release
“I am your father.” Forty years later, those words remain one of cinema’s greatest twists. Even if you’ve seen The Empire Strikes Back hundreds of times, you can’t help but get a shiver down your spine when Luke’s greatest enemy reveals his identity, showing that good and evil remain inextricably linked. While author Adam Christopher isn’t promising a twist quite so monumental, he does have plans for a similarly shocking reveal for his upcoming novel Shadow of the Sith. Set after Return of the Jedi, Shadow of the Sith pairs Luke Skywalker with his ally Lando Calrissian when a Sith kidnaps the latter’s daughter. In addition…

The Boys Season 3 Exclusive Cover Reveal: Meet Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy

New DVD release
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” – John Dalberg-Acton. April 5, 1887. The idea of the superbeing not as an aspirational figure but a cautionary tale is one that predates even the concept of the superhero. Philip Wylie’s 1930 novel about a superhumanly strong and tough man, Gladiator—a key influence on Superman—isn’t one of high adventure and happy endings. Long before they brought the Man of Steel we all know and love to life, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s 1933 “Reign of the Superman” wasn’t about a heroic character at all, but rather a mad scientist whose…

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Box Office More Than Doubles First Film

New DVD release
By the Vapors of Vishanti, Doctor Strange has proven to be a Sorcerer Supreme when it comes to the box office machine! The exploding popularity of the character, or at least his rising prominence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe pecking order, has hit a watershed moment as the good doctor now has an opening weekend bigger than any of the Iron Man movies. Indeed, Disney is reporting Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is estimated to be conjuring a box office haul of $185 million over its first three-ish days in the U.S. That number is remarkable because it…
