Best Movies Coming to Netflix in December 2021

New DVD release

Ho, ho, ho. And like that 2021 is (almost) over. It went by fast, didn’t it? But even as the year that was begins its final 30-day run on your calendar, we cannot deny being happy to see the broader holiday season here, and all the good cheer it brings—including on streaming services. Netflix, for one, is committed to spreading happy tidings, as judged by their glut of new Christmas movies. However, if you’re someone who isn’t looking for more cinematic trifles this December, and rather just want to know about the best non-original film content coming to your living…

The Flash: Armageddon Brings Black Lightning Back to the Arrowverse

New DVD release

This THE FLASH: ARMAGEDDON article contains spoilers. The Flash Season 8 Episode 3 As crossovers go, The Flash’s five-part Armageddon event is pretty low-key, so much so that it’s easy to see why showrunner Eric Wallace doesn’t really like the idea of calling it a crossover at all. And maybe that’s a good thing, in the end, because rather than going for the spectacle of, say, a Crisis on Infinite Earths or Crisis on Earth-X, the show has time to give us quieter, richer character moments of the sort we so rarely get between heroes from different shows.  “Armageddon, Pt. 3” brings…

Game of Thrones Author Started Worrying After Season 5

New DVD release

While HBO’s Game of Thrones television franchise has fastened its focus toward upcoming prequel series House of the Dragon, the temptation to relitigate controversies of its past remains prevalent. It’s understandable, seeing as one of the most popular television shows in the world purposefully wrapped with a shortened final season that left a significant portion of the audience unsatisfied and exasperated. While author George R.R. Martin remained mum about the way the finale imagined the climax to his still-unfinished source material novels, it seems that his silence is finally starting to break. Of course, Martin is now defined—at meme levels—by…

How Starfield Will Continue an Elder Scrolls Tradition

New DVD release

In a new Starfield developer diary called “Into the Starfield: The Endless Pursuit,” game director Todd Howard talks about how the upcoming sci-fi RPG will continue one of The Elder Scrolls series’ most iconic traditions. “You always have that ‘step out’ moment into the world,” Howard says of previous Elder Scrolls and Bethesda Studios titles. “[Now,] technology’s changed, we’ve all changed, so our expectations when loading up a game – like, ‘Okay, we’re going to step out into this moment’… Us being able to do that and have it feel new every generation, every game is something that’s really special…

Why Sweeney Todd Was Stephen Sondheim’s Favorite Movie Musical Adaptation

New DVD release

It can be said Stephen Sondheim was a man who rarely kept his opinions to himself. Nor should he have. As one of the greatest composers, lyricists, and purely creative forces in the history of American theater, Sondheim was a talent whose output in a handful of years could outstrip entire careers. Before he turned 30, he wrote the lyrics for West Side Story and Gypsy; by the time he was 50, he’d imagined whole cloth the 3/4 time swoons of A Little Night Music and the melodic hellfires burning beneath Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Yet…

Cyberpunk 2077 has been discounted to $29.99 as part of Steam’s annual Autumn Sale, and fans are using the recent discount as an excuse to flood the game’s page with positive reviews. It’s hardly a surprise that Cyberpunk 2077 has rocketed to the top of Steam’s top seller list as a result of its recent 50% discount (it’s been sharing the top spot with Farming Simulator 22 and Red Dead Redemption 2 over the last few days), but it is a little more surprising that the Steam version of the game has enjoyed such a notable influx of positive user…

The Simpsons Season 33 Episode 9 Review: Mothers and Other Strangers

New DVD release

This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 33 Episode 9 “Mothers and Other Strangers” is the series’ Mother’s Day installment, filling in for the Thanksgiving holiday, and it is a feast of emotional stuffing. Glenn Close returns as Mona Simpson, the radical hippie demonstrator who left Homer when he was 9 to go on the run from the FBI, which in this episode, tries to masquerade as Festive Balloons Inc. But nothing can cover up the broken heart, or the broken timelines, of the Simpson saga. After a shaky start, The Simpsons has been on a roll this…

New Spider-Man Marvel Trilogy Starring Tom Holland Confirmed

New DVD release

There’s never been a bigger Spidey movie than Spider-Man: No Way Home, which will not only throw Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) into the mix but also several villains from across the Marvel multiverse. Alfred Molina returns as Doctor Octopus and is joined by Willem Dafoe as Green Goblin, Jamie Foxx as Electro, Thomas Haden Church as Sandman, and Rhys Ifans as the Lizard. Oh, and reality itself seems to be falling apart after a spell gone terribly wrong. It’s safe to say the wall-crawler has never faced a challenge quite like this one on the big screen. Much has already…

How Xbox Series S Won Black Friday

New DVD release

We knew that next-gen consoles were going to be some of the most popular items during the various Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, but few could have predicted that the Xbox Series S would be the biggest “winner” of the holiday season.
