Deep Water Review: Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas Erotic Thriller Sinks

New DVD release
Gonna let you know right up front: Deep Water is not for me. But it’s not for you either, and it’s not for anyone who likes a well-written, well-directed, well-cast motion picture. Yet like that proverbial car crash we’re always hearing about, it’s hard not to keep looking at it. Just 10 minutes in, it’s all too clear why this turgid “erotic” thriller — based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith, no less (The Talented Mr. Ripley) — was shoved off a theatrical release by 20th Century Studios and shuffled onto a Hulu premiere berth instead. Ben Affleck plays Vic…

Will Star Wars and Damon Lindelof Be a Good Match or a Bad Batch?

New DVD release
Feel a movement in the force? That sense may come from new rumors about a development in the Star Wars universe. According to Hollywood insider Jeff Sneider, Damon Lindelof may be working on a Star Wars movie for Lucasfilm. Now, Sneider is quick to clarify that this is very much speculation at this point, as no rep has yet confirmed or denied the rumor. But in his newsletter The Ankler, Sneider lays out a compelling case for considering Lindelof as a potential writer, linking to a 2020 Fandom interview in which the writer admits that he’d like to try a Disney tentpole.…

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent: The Love Letter Nicolas Cage Deserves

New DVD release
Nicolas Cage is doing just fine.  The energetic actor, movie star, and meme muse is coming off one of the most lauded performances of his career in Michael Sarnoski’s Pig. He’s by all appearances a healthy and thriving 58-year-old man with nothing but sunny days to look forward to. And yet, his latest and most distinctly Cage-ian film, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, operates as a sort of midpoint career eulogy. This ambitious action-comedy, which just debuted at SXSW, casts Nicolas Cage in his boldest role yet: himself. Sort of. The Nicolas Cage of Tom Gormican’s film is an…

How a New Picard Adventure Proves Star Trek Books Are Canon

New DVD release
Star Trek’s relationship with tie-in media, specifically books and comics, is one of the largest and most expansive in the history of science fiction. Before the explosion of the Star Wars “expanded universe” of novels in 1991, Star Trek had been putting out at least four novels every year since 1980. This output hasn’t really changed much since the ‘80s, and though the official canonicity of Trek novels remains intentionally vague, there’s a long tradition of the writers of books and comics making every effort to make what tie-in media match with what you see on screen. But hardcore fans…

Resident Evil at 20: A Good or Bad Zombie Movie?

New DVD release
Is it really 20 years since Milla Jovovich’s Alice first kicked zombie ass in a red dress? The movie inspired by the much loved video game series spawned five sequels and a 2021 reboot and has become a significant entry in movie zombie lore. And lots of people think the films are rubbish. As Wikipedia puts it: “Despite all the installments receiving generally negative reviews from critics, the Resident Evil film series has grossed over $1.2 billion.” Well someone must like those films, surely?  Two decades on, Den of Geek has decided to revisit the original to work out once…

How Dunkirk Inverts Classic WW2 Movie Moments

New DVD release
This Dunkirk article contains spoilers. Christopher Nolan’s films have always been otherworldly, from dream heists to time travelling spy thrillers, to space adventures, to superhero trilogies. Even if he does a detective story, he does it backwards. At first glance, Dunkirk seems a departure from this. No sci-fi, no time warps, no dreamscapes, Dunkirk looks like a straight up war film. But if you look a bit deeper, it’s clear that Dunkirk has much less in common with the likes of Saving Private Ryan and 1917. From the beginning, you can recognize Nolan’s fingerprints. The color palette is immediately familiar…

Spider-Man: No Way Home – Where to Watch and Stream

New DVD release
This article contains some spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home Despite what its title promised, Spider-Man: No Way Home has found a way home. Your home, specifically. Ahead of Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness coming to theaters on May 6, Marvel Studios is bringing home the final entry in the first MCU Spider-Man trilogy. No Way Home finds Peter Parker (Tom Holland) fighting to help his friends MJ (Zendaya) and Ned (Jacob Batalon) after fumbling a spell from Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and bringing to his world villains from other dimensions, including Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina) and Electro (Jamie Foxx).…

What Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Does Better Than the Book

New DVD release
This Dune article contains spoilers. It remains to be seen if Dune will win Best Picture at the 2022 Oscars. For certain fans of science fiction cinema, it certainly feels like it should. Just like the novel it adapts, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is more than just a good science fiction story, it’s a good movie first and a good science fiction film second. This means that arguably it’s a good Dune adaptation third. Although the 2000 Sci-Fi Channel version of Dune was pretty faithful to the text, it wasn’t a crowd-pleaser. Villeneuve’s goal was to cast a bigger net, to…

Daredevil vs. Daredevil? Charlie Cox Mocks Ben Affleck’s Suit

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Marvel’s Hawkeye If there’s one thing superhero fans love, it’s when a good guy fights a good guy. It’s even better when those good guys are the same guy. Hot off his return to the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Charlie Cox had some unflattering things to say about the 2003 Daredevil movie starring Ben Affleck. Cox told fans at the Middle East Film & Comic Con 2022 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates that he never saw Affleck’s superhero movie debut before he was cast as Daredevil. According to People, Cox told the crowd, “I don’t…

Final Sonic 2 Trailer Misses Out On Referencing A Classic Meme

New DVD release
The final trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is action-packed and filled with new moments. Sonic and Tails flying from a snow covered mountain to a Hawaii wedding. Sonic and Tails fighting against a giant mecha built by Robotnik. More of Idris Elba’s voice as Knuckles! But towards the end of the trailer, Knuckles taunts Sonic. With audio most likely taken from their big climatic battle, Knuckles insults Sonic with some choice words. “You’re unskilled. Untrained. Unworthy!” Sonic won’t take that lying down. He gets to his feet, rubbing the dirt off his face, and responds with,“You forgot one. Unstoppable.”…

X Review: A24 Horror Finds Sweet Side of a Texas Porn Massacre

New DVD release
Porn. The ‘70s. A Texas summer night massacre. There are so many salacious buzzwords you can apply to Ti West’s horror return that all there appears to be missing is a chainsaw. But for whatever frothy vivaciousness it brings, what’s most striking about the simply titled X is that it’s no frolic. The A24 movie about sex workers and porn stars has a melancholic soul, and, at least for half of its running time, concerns itself with matters above the belt. The film, which just had its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival, certainly dabbles in exploitation, happily indulging every…

Apollo 10 1/2 Review: Richard Linklater’s Love Letter to the Space Age

New DVD release
From Los Angeles to Austin, and Mexico to the UK, there appears to be something in the water sipped on by major directors. How else do you explain so many respected auteurs getting nostalgic for their formative years, be it Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma or Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast—Spielberg even has one out later this year. Yet Richard Linklater’s newest entry in the emerging genre, Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood, might be the most happily youthful of these to date. For here is a reverie that’s less concerned about how things really occurred than it is with capturing the exuberance…

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Dives into the Past to Prepare for the Future

New DVD release
This Jujutsu Kaisen 0 review contains no spoilers. The anthology magazine Weekly Shonen Jump has published many blockbuster manga throughout its decades-long history. Most have become anime. In recent memory, these titles have included the ninja epic Naruto, the superhero-themed My Hero Academia, and the record-shattering Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. In October 2020, Jujutsu Kaisen joined their ranks with a 24-episode TV anime. Much like Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen‘s popularity skyrocketed once the anime began airing. By the time the season concluded in early 2021, fans were clamoring for a second one. The manga is still serializing, after all,…

How Turning Red Opens the Door for More Asian Representation at Pixar

New DVD release
There has never been a coming-of-age story quite like Pixar’s Turning Red before, and that’s because it comes from a very personal place.  Set in 2002, the movie follows Torontonian teen Meilin Lee (Rosalie Chiang). She loves her mom, Ming (Sandra Oh), and wants nothing more than to live up to her expectations. But she’s going through a lot of big changes that threaten to throw her off of her life’s course. Namely, a curse that transforms her into a red panda whenever she has an emotional outburst. “I was Mei in the early 2000s Toronto. I was that dorky,…

The Batman vs. Zack Snyder’s Batman: How Are They Different?

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers of The Batman and the DCEU. It’s been nearly a decade since the release of a solo Batman movie, 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises, and as we approach the 10-year anniversary of the much-debated conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed Dark Knight trilogy, a new standalone film about the Caped Crusader, Matt Reeves’ The Batman, is now in theaters. But meanwhile, in the interregnum between the end of Nolan’s mostly brilliant triptych and what we hope is the beginning of a new series of Batfilms under Reeves’ watch, a different variation of Gotham’s protector showed up in…

Everything Everywhere All at Once Is the Best Multiverse Movie Ever

New DVD release
It’s a thought we’ve all had before. Is this what I’m supposed to be doing? Did I take a wrong turn somewhere along the way? An entire subgenre of mumblecore indies has blossomed from such universal ennui. At first glance, the Daniels’ deceptively straightforward Everything Everywhere All at Once might be one of them. The film’s protagonist, Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh), is a meek middle-aged woman who can barely stand her nerdy husband Waymond (Ke Huy Quan) or the life they’ve built for the last 30 years running a laundromat. And these days, their only source of excitement is the…

Viral Batman Returns Review Adds Twist to Superhero Movie Discourse

New DVD release
In a viral clip currently making the rounds on Twitter, young movie critic Danny Slaski offers a frank review of 1992’s Batman Returns: “It was very violent, it was a total attack against kids.” Complaints about media violence are nothing new. But Slaski’s charges may carry greater weight precisely because of who he is. The attack comes not from a religious organization or a parents group looking to protect the innocence of youngsters, but rather from an actual kid. The video circulated by the Found Footage Fest Twitter account finds Slaski sharing his review on the talk show A Closer Look. “Everything that…

The Batman Comic You Should Read After Seeing the Movie

New DVD release
One of the big questions we’re always asked whenever there’s a new superhero movie is what comics should someone who only knows a character from TV or movies check out. Sometimes this question is easier to answer than other times, but with The Batman, it’s an incredibly easy answer. Batman: The Imposter, which is now available in hardcover from DC Comics, reads like a direct sequel to the new movie. It isn’t one, to be clear, but if all you know about the character and his world is what you just saw on the screen? Then The Imposter is a…

The Adam Project Ending and Time Travel Explained

New DVD release

Let’s look at how Netflix’s big budget family movie sets out the past, present, and future, and explore the film’s hopeful ending, which wipes the slate clean for a planet on the road to some very, very bad times.

Turning Red and the Double-Edged Sword of Pixar Expectations

New DVD release
For Pixar’s first 15 years as a studio, their output was red hot. It’s almost an unprecedented streak of creativity, with each subsequent film raising the bar set by the last. During this period, Pixar almost singlehandedly changed the critical conversation about animated films as a medium and demanded that the art-form be taken as seriously as any other medium. To state it plainly, Pixar films were events. However, in the 2010s some of that can’t-miss aura started to fade. While the studio was still capable of turning out heart-wrenching, deep and rewarding all-ages content, such as Inside Out and…
