Star Wars: Adam Driver Won’t Rule Out Kylo Ren Return

New DVD release

This article contains spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Time heals all wounds, they say, and Star Wars fans know that just about as well as anyone. Though George Lucas’ Star Wars Prequel Trilogy was lambasted by much of the fandom when it was released from 1999-2005, the films have seen a slow rise of appreciation and forgiveness in the ensuing years, with stars Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor now set to return for an upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ next year. But what of the Sequel Trilogy cast of characters and the actors who played them?…

Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Episode 2 Easter Eggs & References

New DVD release

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for Season 4, Episode 2: “Anomaly.” Just because Star Trek: Discovery now flies in the year 3189, centuries after any other Star Trek series or film, the writers still intentionally reference the vast canon of Trek. Part of this is because the DISCO writers are big Trek fans too, but it’s also about making sure everything connects. Recently, showrunner Michelle Paradise said Easter eggs and references are there to ground Discovery “within the larger Star Trek universe,” because they don’t “want to be on an island somewhere.”  So, in terms of nerdy callbacks,…

The Beatles: Get Back Review – Peter Jackson Presents A Crystal Clear Story of Legendary Band

New DVD release

Peter Jackson doesn’t care about his audience. He’s having fun. He made a six-hour documentary about The Beatles, and he wishes it could be 18 hours. He’s having such an obvious blast he doesn’t have to worry if anyone else will think it’s the least bit entertaining.  That’s exciting. It’s infectious, and it means he has nothing to be concerned about. He’s given us a wild ride and stepped out of the way. The Beatles: Get Back is a long and winding road, but it is told at a brisk pace which barely slows for ballads. John Lennon, Paul McCartney,…

Legends of Tomorrow Pits a Dark Gideon Against Dark Legends

New DVD release

This DC’s Legends of Tomorrow review contains spoilers. Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 Episode 7 I don’t know that any DC show has ever had the kind of run that Legends of Tomorrow is on. We’ve reached the midseason finale, at about the midpoint of an odd season – going by COVID-adjusted production and air schedules, this feels more like a season 6.5, even if season 7 has its own distinct identity and vibe. But at this point in the season, it’s incredible that not only have we not had a bad episode, we haven’t even had a mediocre one.…

Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Episode 2 Review – Anomaly

New DVD release

The following contains STAR TREK: DISCOVERY spoilers Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Episode 2 One of the major questions of Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 seems to be how Michael Burnham will balance the professional and personal sides of herself now that she has become a captain. As the person responsible for an entire ship and the lives of its crew, it naturally follows that she’s going to have to make harder, more difficult choices than she was before she earned her spot in that chair. Sometimes that will mean recognizing that she can’t thoughtlessly risk herself the way she…

How Grogu Became The First Star Wars Character To Make The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

New DVD release

The Funko POP!-inspired take on The Mandalorian’s breakout character will soar above New York City tomorrow. As impossible as it may seem, there has never been a Star Wars-themed balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. No Darth Vader soaring above the midtown Manhattan streets, nary an R2-D2 spreading joy across the skyline, not even a giant floating Jar-Jar to rile the crowd of New Yorkers. It’s unthinkable, right? But then again, there’s never been a character quite like Grogu before. Since making his debut in The Mandalorian, the mysterious green child (whose alleged love of chicken nuggets instantly became…

Not just Christmas in New York, but Christmas in the MCU’s New York City! Marvel’s Hawkeye has arrived on Disney+ with a dose of holiday cheer, an appropriate amount of violence, and a scruffy, one-eyed dog to warm our hearts…and possibly warm them with a Molotov cocktail if the Tracksuit Mafia have their way.  Is the above paragraph just a random assortment of words to you?

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City Post-Credit Scene Explained

New DVD release

It seems like a happy ending: Chris, Claire, Jill, and Leon have all made it out of the Spencer Mansion just as it comes crashing down above them. A few miles away, the evil Umbrella Corporation has managed to contain the zombie outbreak, meaning today won’t be the end of the world. But what about tomorrow? Well, that’ll be up to our heroes, who likely will have a thing or two to say after their nightmarish ordeal inside the secret Umbrella lab that infected the people of Raccoon City with the T-virus. While it might be a little too early…

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City Easter Eggs and References Explained

New DVD release

This article contains spoilers for Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City may not cleanly break the dreaded “video game movie curse,” but it is packed with Easter eggs and references that will surely please long-time Resident Evil fans who feel that some of the previous big-screen adaptations of this franchise strayed too far from the source material. While Welcome to Raccoon City director Johannes Roberts previously talked to us about his desire to stay true to the games, it’s genuinely shocking to see all of the big and small ways that the movie borrows…

Hawkeye’s Rogers: The Musical is a Surprisingly Rich Marvel Text

New DVD release

This article contains spoilers for Hawkeye episode 1. Have you heard the good news? Broadway is back! This is the case in the real world, where The Great White Way has finally returned to theatrical action following a shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s also the case for Marvel. The viability of Broadway musicals amid the sudden disappearance of 50% of the universe’s population was never addressed in the MCU after Avengers: Infinity War. One would have to assume, however, that a nigh-apocalyptic event was enough to shut down production for a long time. In Marvel’s latest Disney+ series…

Licorice Pizza: Paul Thomas Anderson Triumphs Despite Queasy Ingredients

New DVD release

Paul Thomas Anderson is commonly regarded as one of the great American filmmakers from the last 25 years (and yes, it’s hard to believe Hard Eight came out a quarter century ago). Yet his last two or three features–Phantom Thread, Inherent Vice, and The Master–worked strenuously to push viewers away. They brought us an array of characters who, despite great performances from all involved, and Anderson’s own usual immaculate attention to detail, were increasingly isolated from viewers. Generally speaking, many folks struggled to engage emotionally or empathetically with these people. That’s why his ninth feature, Licorice Pizza, feels like a…

Is Keanu Reeves Ready to Join the MCU?

New DVD release

While Keanu Reeves remains a relevant mainstay in the movie industry after almost 40 years of onscreen acting, one thing that eludes him is a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s an especially notable omission, given the genre-dominant direction that he’s taken in the last decade. Thus, as he prepares a return to a signature sci-fi red pill playground in The Matrix Resurrections, Reeves has franchises on his mind, seemingly inciting a rather intriguing answer to a question about a prospective MCU debut. Reeves isn’t proactively campaigning for an MCU role, but the idea of potentially tackling one has…

From The Fly to Disney+: Jeff Goldblum’s Lifelong Love of Movie Monsters

New DVD release

Jeff Goldblum is standing in a hall of masks in San Dimas, California when he’s taken back. How could he not be? Everywhere he looks, on each shelf and behind every sales rack, there is another row of ghoulish faces staring back at him. Some have rubber fangs, others a latex eyeball, and then there’s that wolf-man get-up over there. At the time, Goldblum’s filming the opening segment for his latest episode of The World According to Jeff Goldblum, a streaming documentary series courtesy of Nat Geo and Disney+. Yet, simultaneously, he’s also being transported back to childhood and career…
