DC’s Wonder Twins Have Always Been a Joke. That’s a Good Thing

New DVD release
Warner Bros. is making a Wonder Twins movie for HBO Max. Yes, you read that right, the Wonder Twins. As in, the two purple-clad alien teenagers who can shapeshift when they touch hands and shout “Wonder Twin powers, activate!” Of course, their shapeshifting is somewhat limited as Jayna can only transform into animals and Zan can become water…as in liquid, solid, or vapor. Basically, they’re just useful enough to be the equivalent of interns with the Justice League without overshadowing any of their more traditionally superheroic teammates. They seem like an unlikely pair of candidates for a superhero movie, don’t…

Batman ’89 Writer Reveals Original Two-Face Sequel Plan

New DVD release
Batman ‘89 is a comic that hits a certain section of bat-fandom so squarely where they live it’s almost impossible to believe it even exists. The series, part of a line of DC Comics that serve as sequels to beloved live action superhero movie and TV shows, is a direct sequel to Tim Burton’s two Batman movies, and delivers versions of famous Gotham City residents who we never got to see realized onscreen in that director’s world, including Barbara Gordon, a reimagined Robin, and others. Perhaps most famously, the series delivers on the promise of one of the first movie’s…

The Jurassic Park CGI Rebellion That Began the End of Cinema

New DVD release
It was an act of rebellion. That’s how Steve “Spaz” Williams saw it in the early ‘90s, and that’s how he reflects on it even more clearly now. The choice to not-so-subtly sneak the moving image of a computer generated Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton into Kathleen Kennedy’s line of vision was something he was warned not to do; something that was out-of-bounds since Steven Spielberg’s then developing Jurassic Park was already committed to relying almost exclusively on stop motion animation and animatronics. It was something that never should’ve happened. And yet, when Kennedy, a producer on Jurassic Park, toured ILM studios…

Choose or Die Ending Explained: The Curse, Kismet, and Kayla’s Fate

New DVD release
This article contains major Choose or Die spoilers. Choose or Die is bound to surprise Netflix subscribers who are perhaps hoping for some lighter high concept horror when they give this new movie a spin: it does rather go for the jugular, in some cases literally! It also has a final act that unwraps its very weird central mystery, while perhaps even setting up an intriguing sequel for the streaming service to dish out at a later date. In Toby Meakins’ grim mash-up of Jumanji, Ring, Black Mirror, and Red Dwarf (more on this later!), we meet a young coder…

Movie Easter Eggs: Where Did the Term Come From?

New DVD release
“Did you catch that easter egg?” “No, but I read about all these in an easter egg guide.” “Have you heard? Morbius has the greatest easter egg of all-time!” These are (mostly) things you’ll hear in everyday life when folks discuss their favorite movies, TV shows, or video games. Once a jargon-y phrase used almost exclusively in online circles and by the nerdier writers within the greater media industry, the term “easter egg” has become ubiquitous when talking about modern pop culture. Heck, Marvel Studios has based a sizable portion of its winning formula on the prospect of teasing their…

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…

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.

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…

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…
