Amazon Prime Video New Releases: March 2022

New DVD release
Look, not every month is gonna be full of bangers. Amazon Prime Video’s list of new releases for March 2022 is extremely light but still has a couple of good options for streaming obsessives. The biggest title this month is undoubtedly The Boys Presents: Diabolical on March 4. This series presents eight different stories set in The Boys‘ universe, all offered up by different writers. Since each of the eight mini-episodes are animated, it’s probably fair to say this is The Boys‘ Animatrix. Call it the “Anivought”. Read more TV The Boys Season 3: Herogasm Will Be The TV Event…

Disney+ New Releases: March 2022

New DVD release
It’s been a grueling three months since Marvel fans had a hit of the MCU in the form of Spider-Man: No Way Home and even longer since the last Marvel Disney+ series (Hawkeye). Thankfully that unbearable drought will be coming to an end with Disney+’s list of new releases for March 2022. This month is highlighted by the arrival of Moon Knight on March 30. Oscar Isaac stars as the latest Marvel hero, a man with a fracturing personality and awesome power imbued by the Egyptian god Khonshu. Tonally, this seems like a really divergent take from the studio and…

How Ghostbusters Director Ivan Reitman Changed Horror Movies Forever

New DVD release
When Ivan Reitman passed away on Feb. 12, 2022 at the age of 75, the Canadian producer, director, and screenwriter was justifiably remembered as one of the driving forces of cinematic comedy for more than four decades. After all, he produced National Lampoon’s Animal House–one of the classic farces of its time–in 1978, before moving on to direct a string of other well-remembered entries in the genre, including Meatballs (1979), Stripes (1981), Twins (1988), Kindergarten Cop (1990), and Dave (1993), while producing films such as Space Jam (1996), Private Parts (1997), and Old School (2003). Of course Reitman is best…

West Side Story: Steven Spielberg Reveals He Wanted to Cut ‘I Feel Pretty’

New DVD release
The West Side Story song “I Feel Pretty” is one of the most popular pieces of the American songbook. Over the decades, it’s been played at birthday parties, weddings, and even in Adam Sandler movies. Yet it’s no secret that the song has its share of critics, chief among them being its late great lyricist Stephen Sondheim, who for decades would sheepishly admit he was embarrassed by the song. In the most recent Broadway revival of the Leonard Bernstein and Sondheim musical, iconoclast stage director Ivo van Hove even cut “I Feel Pretty” altogether (much to Sondheim’s delight). As it…

Harvey Dent Is the Unsung Hero of The Dark Knight

New DVD release
“You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” It’s a sentiment and phrase which has taken on a life of its own in the 14 years since Aaron Eckhart’s Harvey Dent said it in The Dark Knight. Written in its time by the brothers Jonathan and Christopher Nolan as a way to succinctly (and heavy-handedly) foreshadow Dent’s downfall, these words have entered the public consciousness, often quoted by people who do not realize they’re borrowing a line from a superhero movie. That’s because despite being one of three central pillars that make…

The French Dispatch’s Best Story Finds the Violence Between Art and Commerce

New DVD release
Vincent van Gogh’s painting Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear sold for $71.5 million at a November 1998 Christie’s auction. The artist created it after dropping a package off at a brothel for a woman named Rachel, telling her to “guard this object with your life.” That was in December 1888. Van Gogh was an unknown artist at the time. Adrien Brody plays a similar art curator to those at Christie’s in Wes Anderson’s anthology film, The French Dispatch. The first vignette in the three-story film exhibits how commerce in the art world is a cut-throat business, especially when it’s personal. The…

The information that’s been coming out about Amazon’s new Lord of the Rings prequel series has started to give us a much clearer idea about what sort of things we might see. We know that the timeline has been compressed so that the series will cover all the major events of the Second Age of Tolkien’s Middle Earth, and we know that the forging of the Rings of Power will be at the heart of the series.

How Thor: Love and Thunder Can Bring Thor Closure in MCU Phase 4

New DVD release
This article contains MCU spoilers. The longevity of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken many by surprise. When Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans made Avengers: Endgame their swansong, many figured Hemsworth would join them. Instead, he’s becoming the first solo character to reach a fourth solo cinematic installment with Thor: Love and Thunder. Even more surprising was the news that Natalie Portman was coming back to the MCU to bring the story of Jane Foster lifting Mjolnir to the big screen. As much as I want to see more from Taika Waititi’s rendition of what…

The Untold Stories of The Green Mile

New DVD release
Director Frank Darabont’s 1999 film version of Stephen King’s The Green Mile, which is out this week for the first time on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, remains a popular but somewhat divisive entry in the King cinematic canon. The picture was Darabont’s follow-up to another King adaptation, 1994’s The Shawshank Redemption, with Green Mile adapting a serialized novel King released in six paperback installments over six months in 1996. The tale is set on death row (called “the green mile” because of the flooring) at a Louisiana prison in the 1930s where officer Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) and his team…

From Kick-Ass to The King’s Man: Ranking Matthew Vaughn’s Best Action Scenes

New DVD release
We are living in the superhero age of cinema, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to a golden age of action cinema. Among the biggest directors working today, the best action tends to fall outside of the superhero genre, driven by a handful of action auteurs of which Matthew Vaughn is one of the very best. In honor of The King’s Man recent streaming launch on HBO Max and Hulu, we’re ranking Vaughn’s best action scenes of all time. Were does your favorite fall on our list? 9. X-Men: First Class Finale Charles Xavier versus Erik “Magneto” Lehnsherr. It’s a conflict…

Is Marvel Phase 4 Turning Doctor Strange into Reed Richards?

New DVD release
It’s commonly accepted that the greatest villain in Fantastic Four history is Doctor Doom, but what’s typically less understood is that the second greatest villain in the F4 pantheon is Reed Richards himself. Or at least parallel versions of him. And what’s absolutely fascinating about the world we live in now is that Marvel seems to be doing their damnedest to turn the movie version of Doctor Strange into the comics version of Reed Richards.  To understand how Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness might take a good chunk of its inspiration from the journey of Reed Richards in…

How the Real Donnie Brasco Bought Mob Family a Reprieve from the FBI

New DVD release
The 1997 mob movie, Donnie Brasco, celebrates its 25th anniversary this week. This is almost as long as the real-life title character has been on the run with a half-a-million-dollar contract on his head. Johnny Depp plays Joe Pistone in the movie, an undercover federal cop codenamed “Donnie Brasco.” He gets so deep into the wheels of the Brooklyn operations of the Bonanno crime family that he almost becomes a made man. Donnie is one hit away from getting straightened out, joining the official rank and file of the organization, when the FBI pulls him in from the case. The…

Star Trek: We Dodged a Photon Torpedo with Quentin Tarantino’s Movie

New DVD release
When the news broke in December 2017 that Quentin Tarantino had approached Paramount Pictures with a pitch for a new Star Trek film, one could hear the collective sound of countless fans’ jaws dropping open. One of the most respected (and controversial) filmmakers of his time, the imagination behind modern classics like Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds, wanted to put his imprimatur on one of the most beloved (if creaky) sci-fi franchises of all time? Apparently that was the case, even if it was unclear whether Tarantino actually wanted to direct the thing himself or just sort of shepherd his…

How Peter Dinklage Finds a Deeper ‘Truth’ in His Cyrano

New DVD release
When filmmaker Joe Wright was first invited to see a workshop of Cyrano, a new musical adaptation of the Edmond Rostand play, he thought he already knew the material. He grew up reading and relishing the original Cyrano de Bergerac, and still admits with a faint smile that the first thing he thinks of when he hears that name is the character’s big nose—that nose, plus the character’s even bigger mind and sense of pride. Yet when actress Haley Bennett (The Magnificent Seven, The Girl on the Train) invited him to her theatrical debut in a little workshop production in…

Kingsman 3 and Where the Franchise Goes from Here

New DVD release
This article contains some The King’s Man spoilers. By the time The King’s Man rolled credits late last year, more than a century’s worth of lore and internal mythology had been established in the three-film franchise. From the Kingsman spy syndicate’s earliest origins during the Second Boer War in 1902 to that time Eggsy, aka Agent Galahad, rescued Elton John in 2017, there’s now a vast timeline of adventures, world-saving hail marys, and espionage double crosses littered throughout world history. That’s pretty impressive for a franchise that writer-director Matthew Vaughn started as a riff on early James Bond flicks, as…

Why Escape from L.A. Deserves a Better Look

New DVD release
At the end of Escape from L.A. (1996), Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken fingers a device which can shut down all technology across the planet. Luckily, Paramount Home Entertainment will have the sequel to John Carpenter’s Escape from New York available on 4K Ultra HD before he can punch the 666-access code into the keypad. Made for $50 million in the year Jurassic Park was budgeted at $65 million, the cult epic follow-up turned up the volume, action, FX, and nihilistic cynicism of its predecessor for an over-the-top high-tide hang glide. Escape from L.A. is a dystopian satire where the U.S.…
