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…

Morbius Was Originally Supposed to Be in Blade II

New DVD release
Sony Pictures’ latest antibody antihero movie, Morbius, which stars Jared Leto as the Living Vampire, has drawn first blood. Following in the footsteps of the split-personality, villain movie Venom, Morbius is an origin story with a nemesis at the waiting, and the promise of bloody battles to come. Yet the self-made vampire should have made his entrance years ago. Indeed, Morbius was initially set up to be the main villain in Blade II, after Blade (1998) starring Wesley Snipes opened the wound to modern superhero films. Writer David S. Goyer planned to feature Morbius as the main antagonist in the…

Morbius Box Office Leaves Sequel in Scary Place

New DVD release
This article contains some Morbius spoilers. In case you didn’t hear, Morbius was not quite the disaster Film Twitter and the critics (including this one) thought it might be going into the weekend. At least in terms of box office, the vampire and superhero movie mash-up did okay when it opened to not quite $40 million over the weekend. According to Sony Pictures, the film finished its three-day debut with $39.1 million, which while not the numbers posted by its shared universe stablemates, Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage—those opened at $80 million and $90 million, respectively—it’s also not…

Hugh Jackman Dons Wolverine Claws on Broadway

New DVD release
Hugh Jackman is living his dream on Broadway right now. Which is to say the veritable Tony and Drama Desk Award winner is finally getting to play Professor Harold Hill in Meredith Willson’s The Music Man. It’s a part he’s dreamed of since he was 14. Although for a certain breed of fan, there is only one role they dream to see Jackman in again: X-Men’s the Wolverine. And the star obliged them recently when he donned Logan’s fabled adamantium claws on a Broadway stage. So to speak. In a moment that went viral over the weekend, especially after Jackman…

Horror Channel Celebrates a Weekend of Classic Sci-Fi

New DVD release
We are, it is easy to argue, living in a golden age of science fiction film making. Whether you’re talking about the latest cinematic universe blockbuster or glossy straight-to-streaming CGI extravaganzas. And yet, sometimes it’s possible to feel like something’s missing. Sometimes you’re in the mood for a proper sci-fi movie. Something with square-jawed scientists, no-nonsense military men, and bands of plucky teens who know what’s up even if the grown-ups won’t listen. Stories where the threat isn’t a bunch of carefully orchestrated pixels, but a guy in a carefully crafted costume, a model hanging from a piece of string…

Apollo 10 1/2: Richard Linklater Recalls the Space Race’s Forgotten Culture Wars

New DVD release
It’s been 16 years since Richard Linklater last made a film in the art style he helped popularize with movies like Waking Life (2001) and A Scanner Darkly (2006). At the time, he thought he’d taken the rotoscope technique—where animators draw artwork, frame by frame, atop live-action footage—as far as he personally could with a film that featured Keanu Reeves losing his grip and perception on reality. And yet, when thinking back to his own halcyon days as a child growing up in the Houston suburbs during a time of technological innovation and wonders—the time of the Apollo 11 mission…

The Beauty of The Godfather’s Long Takes

New DVD release
The Godfather, currently celebrating its 50th anniversary, is a perfect film. Every scene is an individual work of art. Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of Mario Puzo’s novel is never sloppy, but part of its olive oil charm lies in its blemishes. Some of the featured players were not professional actors, and uncomfortable scenes play out in lingering real time. The Godfather has been criticized for glorifying violence, and it certainly has its share. From the barrage of bullets at a toll booth to the brains all over Michael’s Ivy League suit, plus waking up with the severed head of a…

Morbius Ending and What Is Happening with Martine Bancroft

New DVD release
This article contains major Morbius spoilers. Sony has released Morbius in theaters, and we, as a society, have to live with it. Taking place in the same universe as the two Venom movies, Morbius is about Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) searching for a cure for his blood disease and accidentally turning himself into a “living” vampire. He’s a vampire in the sense that he thirsts for blood and has fangs, but sunlight and other weaknesses don’t appear to be part of his lore. Things start to pick up when his best friend Milo (Matt Smith), who also suffers from…

Death on the Nile Ending Explained

New DVD release
This article contains Death on the Nile spoilers. It’s something we’ve seen Hercule Poirot do a lot across Kenneth Branagh’s two big screen adaptations of Agatha Christie mysteries. In both Murder on the Orient Express (2017) and this spring’s Death on the Nile, he sits alone at a table, accompanied by no one except his thoughts. Minus an opening sequence flashback set during the First World War, this is even how we’re introduced to Hercule in the 1930s. A man with a party of one. Yet when we see that same solitary figure again at the end of Death on…

Morbius: Does Spider-Man Exist in This Universe?

New DVD release
This article contains Morbius and Spider-Man: No Way Home spoilers. Given the vagueness of certain things about the Morbius and Venom movies, the post-credits scenes in this weekend’s superhero release are kind of funny. It was already pretty jarring in the first place that Michael Keaton’s Vulture, who was such a memorable villain in Spider-Man: Homecoming, would be teleported for no discernable reason into the universe where Jared Leto’s Morbius, the Living Vampire, exists. Stranger still is how unfazed Keaton’s Adrian Toomes is about never seeing his wife and daughter again. Instead he just wants to team up with a…

Hulu New Releases: April 2022

New DVD release
Though the confusingly named initiative “FX on Hulu” is on its way out, FX is still bringing premium television to Hulu in the meantime. Hulu’s list of new releases for April 2022 is highlighted by FX limited series Under the Banner of Heaven. This adaptation of the non-fiction book by John Krakauer stars Andrew Garfield as a Mormon police detective whose faith is shaken when investigating a murder involving the church. It’s not all just FX on the TV side of things for Hulu this month, however. The streamer is debuting second seasons of its series The Hardy Boys (April…

Disney+ New Releases: April 2022

New DVD release
After debuting moody Marvel hero Moon Knight at the tail end of March, Disney+ is taking a bit of a breather in April. On Disney+’s list of new releases this month, you won’t find any major Pixar, Star Wars, or Marvel (save for the continuing episodes of the aforementioned Moon Knight) releases. Instead, you’ll find something perhaps more valuable: BEARS. Earth Day falls on April 22 this year and Disney+ is celebrating with four major nature documentaries. Polar Bear is narrated by Catherine Keener and follows a family of nature’s most adorable killing machines. Bear Witness is a companion piece…

HBO Max New Releases: April 2022

New DVD release
April is about to be a good month for returning HBO and HBO Max properties. HBO Max’s list of releases for April 2022 features three hotly anticipated seasons of television. The Flight Attendant, which helped launch HBO Max as a viable spot for good dramedy in 2020, premieres its second season on April 21. That will be followed by another go-around for the sci-fi comedy Made for Love on April 28. Of course, the big ticket item this month is something that HBO Max inherited from its cable cousin. Barry season 3 will continue the story of hitman-turned-actor Barry Berkman…

New on Netflix: April 2022 Releases

New DVD release
A list of new streaming releases on Netflix, what a concept! Netflix’s list of new releases for April 2022 is highlighted by the return of one of the great sci-fi comedies ever. Natasha Lyonne is set to return as the temporally displaced Nadia on Russian Doll season 2 on April 20. The first season of the show premiered in 2019 and appeared to tell a rather complete story about one Brooklyn woman’s experiences of dying over and over again. But Lyonne and fellow producers Leslye Headland and Amy Poehler still have some story to tell. Netflix is undoubtedly very happy…
