The Lost City: How Sandra Bullock Discovered New Comedy Gold

New DVD release
Before the world was turned upside down by a global pandemic, Sandra Bullock and Liza Chasin were on the hunt for hidden gold. A script that had been sitting on a shelf for seven long years had just come into their possession. And while not perfect, something shiny and vital was glittering under the surface. “We knew there was a reason it was sitting on a shelf,” Bullock says. Then came the lightbulb moment. “Oh my God, I see it! I see it! I know what it should be,” she declares. “Then you get really excited, then you panic because…

Power Rangers: The Road to Queer Representation

New DVD release
Warning: The article contains references to homophobia and suicide. On Oct. 15, 2021, Power Rangers Dino Fury’s ‘The Matchmaker’ debuted on Netflix and ended like most Power Rangers episodes do. In it, the Dino Fury team saves the world from a giant monster and Javi, the Black Ranger, learns a valuable life lesson in communication after assuming his sister Izzy, the Green Ranger, had a crush on a guy.“She really was acting different though,” Javi tries to reason. “I was sure it was cause she had feelings for someone.”  He turns around he spots Izzy smiling with Fern, another teen…

John Carpenter Still Open to Making Escape from Earth

New DVD release
Paramount Home Entertainment just released Escape from L.A. (1996) on 4K Ultra HD and its darkness has never been clearer. In it, former marine commando and all-around badass, Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell), is captured by the New Moral America and dropped into the country’s immoral detention center to steal a doomsday device designed to douse all power on the planet. The film marked John Carpenter’s first sequel, following up on the iconic dystopian satire, Escape from New York  (1981), with even more nihilistic bite, and an ending darker than a fade to black. Directed from a screenplay Carpenter co-wrote with…

The Adam Project Review: Ryan Reynolds Takes on Time Travel in Netflix’s Latest

New DVD release
He’s a charming devil, that Ryan Reynolds. And even if he is a bit like a subway sandwich – every roll (role) tastes the same – when it’s a flavor that you like, it doesn’t matter. If you’re on board with Reynolds’ gobby, boyish, charisma, coupled with his convincing action chops, The Adam Project is for you. Added bonus: in The Adam Project you kind of get a double helping of Reynolds sauce.  Reuniting with his Free Guy director Shawn Levy, Reynolds plays fighter pilot Adam Reed from 2050, who crash lands back in time to 2022 where runs into…

Batman Actors Ranked from Worst to Best

New DVD release
Over 80 years of stories have made Batman one of the most enduring characters in pop culture history. In that time, the Dark Knight has also been the subject of more big-screen adaptations than any other superhero to date, starring in 11 live-action movies and counting. The Batman is the latest take on the character, with 2023’s The Flash set to bring back two other Caped Crusaders for a time-shattering adventure through the multiverse that will then lead into HBO Max’s Batgirl, where the Dark Knight will play a supporting role. As much as we love seeing Batman in theaters,…

How 300 Paved the Way for Zack Snyder’s Justice League

New DVD release
300 may not hold much significance to the teenage set of DCEU fans who were too young to bask in its bloody ballet of high drama when it debuted 15 years ago, but the overall look and tone of the DCEU, established in large part by Zack Snyder, can be traced back to his landmark second feature. The painterly, desaturated colors and tones of 300 laid the foundation for the Snyder-helmed Justice League and their earliest offshoots, which evoke a considerably darker, more adult tone than the brighter, poppier MCU films. And while dark comic book movies are quite common…

Best Robert Pattinson Movies to Watch After The Batman

New DVD release
Before The Batman, Robert Pattinson was sparkly vampire Edward Cullen. And before that he was Hufflepuff’s star seeker Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. But in between his heartthrob era (Remember Me, Water for Elephants) and none-more-moody Batman times, Pattinson did some really interesting stuff. The actor has traversed genres and styles, flipping from studio films to indies, and some of his most fascinating work has often gone under the radar. If you want more of Pattinson after watching The Batman, here’s a list of some of the actor’s finest turns, from supporting roles and stand out turns in ensemble pieces…

The Batman Would Not Exist Without These Noir Movies

New DVD release
This article contains massive The Batman spoilers. The cops don’t look at him like other Batmans. When Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader enters a crime scene that wouldn’t be out of place in a David Fincher movie, the Gotham City Police Department neither assess this interloper with the kind of relief we see from civilians’ reactions to The Avengers, nor even the type of awe and hope glimpsed in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. They look at the Batman like a freak—just one who happens to be surprisingly good at solving crimes. That’s one of the more amusing innovations in Matt…

The Batman: Villains That Could Terrorize Gotham in the Sequel

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for The Batman. If you’ve seen The Batman by now, it’s plain to see that director/co-writer Matt Reeves’ vision for the Dark Knight is perhaps the darkest we’ve seen onscreen to date, drenched in the brooding atmosphere and morally ambiguous tones of noir while constructed on the spine of a classic detective story. There’s virtually none of the fantastical carnival aspects of the Burton/Schumacher films and far less of the propulsive action pyrotechnics of the Christopher Nolan-directed Dark Knight trilogy. The Batman, as a result, is a “grounded,” “realistic,” and “gritty” — to throw around those…

Indiana Jones 5 Trailer Release Teased in New Update

New DVD release
After years of delays and creative team changes, filming on Indiana Jones 5 has finally been completed. And yet, we still don’t have a single official publicity photo from the movie. Heck, we don’t even have a title! What do we have to do to get a new look at Indy? Swipe an idol from its pedestal without disrupting the weight balance? Cross a seemingly invisible bridge? Find a crashed alien ship?  Well, while it’s not quite as exciting as a knight’s tomb declaring “X marks the spot,” director James Mangold did give us a bit of a hint on…

The Batman: The Godfather Easter Egg You Might Have Missed

New DVD release
This article contains The Batman spoilers. “Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me,” Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) tells the funeral director who seeks revenge on the men who assaulted his daughter in The Godfather. “But until that day, consider this justice a gift on my daughter’s wedding day.” In a pivotal scene in director Matt Reeves’ The Batman, it appears the godfather of Gotham City has lit up a similar Bat-Signal. The new film is more noir drama than your typical superhero movie; gangsters run Gotham City, and…

The Batman Box Office: When ‘Soft’ Opening for Franchise Is Still Great

New DVD release
It turns out Batman is both the hero movie theaters need and deserve in March 2022. Matt Reeves’ The Batman, the ninth solo live-action Dark Knight film, stands poised to gross $128.5 million this weekend. The opening is the largest any movie has seen at the box office since Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: No Way Home in December, which debuted at $260.1 million. It feels important to remind fans of that fact given some seem agitated on social media that The Batman failed to do Spidey numbers. But while that total might indicate a disparity between the current popularity of the…

The Batman: When and Where to Watch Online

New DVD release
After years of anticipation, The Batman is finally here. Originally, fans hoped to catch Robert Pattinson’s turn as the Dark Knight and his alter-ego, the orphaned billionaire Bruce Wayne, on June 25th, 2021. When COVID-19 disrupted director Matt Reeves’s shooting schedule, Warner Bros. set a new release date for October 1st, 2021. That, too, needed adjusting, but no more! The film finally hit theaters on March 4th, 2022. But there’s still one release date some Bat-fans long to know: when will The Batman be available on streaming platforms?  In years past, that question would have been ridiculous. After all, movies…

What The Batman Final Scene Means for Sequels

New DVD release
This article contains The Batman spoilers. We have a spoiler-free review here. As far as teases go, it’s not exactly a subtle one. The final scene in The Batman gives us a look at the Riddler, alone in his cell at Arkham Asylum, although not truly alone. In the cell next to his sits a shadowy, scarred figure, one barely glimpsed through the tiny, reinforced window on the door, who is trying to comfort the agitated and defeated villain. And yes, it’s exactly who you think it is… The Joker It’s probably no surprise to anyone that The Batman found a…

The Batman: Exploring The Riddler and Zodiac Killer Connections

New DVD release
This article contains The Batman spoilers. We have a spoiler-free review here. The Batman features a fairly radical reinvention of classic Gotham City villain, The Riddler. For most of Riddler’s pop culture history, he’s been a relatively harmless criminal genius. While lives have definitely been lost at his hand, he’s usually depicted as someone more interested in outsmarting Batman and the authorities than he is of taking lives. Sure, there have been exceptions (the serial killer Riddler in the Batman: Earth One series by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank springs immediately to mind), but he’s generally not a terribly bloodthirsty…

The Batman vs. The Dark Knight Trilogy: What Are the Differences?

New DVD release
This article contains many The Batman spoilers. When Matt Reeves’ The Batman was first publicly announced—and really right up until the trailers dropped—a common refrain could be heard from longtime fans and casual moviegoers alike: “Do we really need another Batman movie? Is there anything left to say about this character after Christopher Nolan?” The question is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it preemptively puts the onus on Reeves, Robert Pattinson, and all the rest to justify their film by being emphatically different from the generally liked The Dark Knight Trilogy. Yet at the same time, it also…

How F9 Ended up with That Puzzling Product Placement

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for F9 Now that F9 is streaming on HBO Max, cars n’ splosions fans who weren’t able to check out the penultimate entry into the Fast & Furious franchise last year are finally getting a chance to catch up with the film’s ludicrous plot and its set up for the upcoming tenth installment. But if F9 turned out to be a rather frustrating affair for a keen audience still very dedicated to the saga, it was perhaps even more so for those who tinkered away on its pricey product placement behind the scenes and who agreed…

This Is the Zodiac Speaking: Movies Inspired by the Real Serial Killer

New DVD release
The case of the Zodiac Killer–who murdered five people (that we know of) in Northern California in the late 1960s, and whose identity still remains a mystery–has fascinated filmmakers ever since his reign of terror began. This is partially because of his methods, partially because of his direct contact with investigators among the police and media, and partially because he was never caught. He was never even positively identified, which means, for all we know, he could still be alive today. Thus the Zodiac’s macabre history has gripped the imaginations of artists for decades, either with direct interpretations or tales…

The Batman Post-Credit Scene Is Not What You’re Expecting

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers of The Batman. You can read our spoiler-free review here. While The Batman largely avoids the gimmicks of modern interconnected superhero universes on the big screen, even this noir film can’t help but pack in tons of easter eggs and at least one cameo into its almost three-hour runtime. But don’t expect Superman or Wonder Woman to show up to help Robert Pattinson save the day here. There’s no Dick Grayson or Barbara Gordon, either. Instead, we get a brief introduction to director Matt Reeves‘ version of Batman’s most dastardly villain. The Batman doesn’t actually have…

The Batman: Complete DC Easter Eggs and References

New DVD release
This article contains The Batman spoilers. You can our spoiler-free review here. The Batman introduces DC Comics fans to a whole new take on the Dark Knight and Gotham City, courtesy of director Matt Reeves and star Robert Pattinson. It also brings new version of rogues like Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz), Penguin (Colin Farrell), the Riddler (Paul Dano), and Carmine Falcone (John Turturro). The Batman has also arguably delivered the definitive version of Detective Jim Gordon, who is played brilliantly by Jeffrey Wright. With all of these characters comes decades of DC history. As you might expect, that means Reeves’ film…
