The True Story Behind James Cameron’s Titanic

New DVD release
James Cameron’s 1997 blockbusting tearjerker, Titanic, puts an epic love story in the middle of the greatest maritime disaster in the history of the North Atlantic. On April 15, 1912, midway through its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg. Because of a severe shortage of lifeboats, 1,517 people died. In the weeks which followed, the luxury liner was said to have been billed as “unsinkable,” but that claim had never been made until after the nautical disaster. This and other myths have lived on, thanks particularly to Cameron’s romantic (and often…

Black Adam Set Photos Reveal Hawkman Costume and New Look at Dwayne Johnson Suit

New DVD release
The hierarchy of power in the DC Universe is changing. That’s what Dwayne Johnson promised while promoting Black Adam at last year’s Fandome digital event. The new DCEU film stars the Hollywood superstar as rogue anti-hero Teth-Adam, one of the most iconic comic book supervillains of all time. You likely know him best as the archnemesis of superhero Shazam, although the movie is a Black Adam origin story and won’t feature Zachary Levi’s quipping do-gooder. But even if Johnson’s presence is enough to chew up any scene, Black Adam won’t come alone. The movie is being positioned as an entry…

Battlefield 2042: Open Beta Bugs Hint at Rough Launch

New DVD release
Battlefield 2042‘s ongoing open beta (which is currently available to those who pre-ordered the game but will be available to everyone starting on October 8) certainly showcases the game’s potential, but it’s easy to imagine that most fans’ biggest takeaway from the playable preview may just be this game’s technical shortcomings and how they strongly suggest that Battlefield 2042‘s November 19 launch might be a rough one. Before we dive any further into this topic, it’s worth reminding everyone that this is just a beta and doesn’t necessarily represent what the launch version of Battlefield 2042 will look/play like. Furthermore,…

Joker 2 Might Not Happen After All

New DVD release
Joker first disturbed audiences on October 4, 2019—over two years ago already! Not only was it a dramatically groundbreaking outlier of a comic book movie but it was the last major genre offering to hit the big screen before the pandemic upended the theater industry. Moreover, despite its homicidal barrage of bleakness, the film grossed over $1 billion worldwide and even reaped mainstream accolades—notably star Joaquin Phoenix’s Best Actor Oscar win. However, a potential sequel remains stalled, as Phoenix now affirms. Make no mistake, Phoenix hasn’t quite gone the post-Spectre Daniel Craig, “I’d rather slash my wrists” route regarding the…

Which Edgar Allan Poe Stories Will Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher Adapt?

New DVD release
It all made too much sense not to happen. After borrowing Shirley Jackson’s source material for 2018 series adaptation The Haunting of Hill House and Henry James’s (again: we must insist you call him “Hank Jim”) for 2020’s The Haunting of Bly Manor, there was only one classic horror author for filmmaker Mike Flanagan to adapt next.  Ladies and gentlemen we present to you: America’s spookiest uncle. The mustachioed, cousin-loving freak himself. Edgar. Allan. Freaking. Poe.  Netflix announced today that Flanagan and producing partner Trevor Macy will be shepherding a new limited series called The Fall of the House of…

La Brea: The Most Intriguing Mysteries So Far

New DVD release
La Brea is NBC’s latest sci-fi mystery box show, but despite the many inevitable comparisons to Lost, this series places its cards face up very early as to where and when its survival storyline unfolds. Even though the characters take awhile to figure things out through geographical details, carbon dating, and the presence of prehistoric creatures, the audience immediately understands, aside from the how and why, that everyone has traveled back in time. However, last night’s episode, “Day Two,” adds a few secondary mysteries that are slightly more intriguing. First of all, there’s the question of why the father of…

What If…? Season Finale: Lost Gamora Episode Explained

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Marvel’s What If…? Episode 9. Marvel’s What If…? finished its first season with its ninth episode, bringing everything together for one, big climactic finale. To defeat a multiversal threat in Infinity Ultron, our narrator Uatu the Watcher put together heroes from previous episodes to form the ultimate team. This team-up found a way to call back every one of the alternate worlds we’ve visited so far, whether it was the roster itself, a cameo from the Marvel Zombies, or an epilogue involving the world where the Avengers were murdered. Everything was wrapped up with a…

What If…? Episode 9 Review: A Missing Puzzle Piece

New DVD release
This review contains spoilers for Marvel’s What If…? episode 9 In the season finale of Marvel’s What If…?, ‘What if… The Watcher Broke His Oath?’, we discover what happens when The Watcher finally intervenes in the MCU’s escalating multiversal madness. As some of you may have assumed, the Guardians of the Multiverse do indeed assemble to stop Tony Stark’s godlike, universe-slaying murder bot, with Doctor Strange helping to pull Ultron’s strings as the team’s de facto leader. There’s a lot to enjoy in the episode, but it stops short of greatness through no fault of Marvel’s own. Due to pandemic-related…

Link Tank: Marvel’s Blade Movie Starring Mahershala Ali Might be Coming Next Year

New DVD release
Marvel India released a tweet with the previously unannounced release date for Blade starring Mahershala Ali, and it’s much sooner than we thought. “The official Indian Marvel account on Twitter had previously published a calendar of releases with upcoming MCU films, setting the release date for each movie in the country. Among the films featured in the calendar are Eternals on this November 5, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on March 25, 2022, and The Marvels on November 11, 2022.” Read more at Collider Michael Keaton reassures us he can still fit into his Batman costume after 30 years. “‘Svelte as ever, man,’ Keaton…

The Best Horror Comedies of the 21st Century

New DVD release
Spooky season isn’t just about candy and trauma (although we enjoy those things as much as the next person), it’s also a perfect time to gather together for giggles. Horror and comedy go hand in hand and as well as the classics like An American Werewolf in London, Young Frankenstein and Army of Darkness the 21st century has coughed up plenty of new gems. We’ve rounded up 13 of our favourite to delight and amuse you this Halloween.

Why Lamb Taps Into Childhood Roots for Noomi Rapace

New DVD release
Noomi Rapace has been waiting for Lamb all her life. That’s how she describes the new pseudo-folk horror being released by A24 this week: something close to kismet. The film’s first-time director and co-writer, Valdimar Jóhannsson, had even crossed paths with Rapace before this movie, back when he did special effects work on Prometheus (2012) in his native Iceland. Yet it was only after she really got to know Jóhannssson nearly a full decade later, and once he showed up at her door with a drawing for a creature who was half-lamb and half-human, that she felt the touch of…

Star Trek: Enterprise’s Recycled Episodes

New DVD release
One of the things Star Trek became somewhat infamous for in the late 1990s and early 2000s was recycling old plots in new episodes. Voyager and Enterprise both featured several episodes throughout their runs that seemed to be re-runs of earlier stories from The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine or even the Original Series, with a slight tweaking to the setting. Originality in fiction is often over-rated – Shakespeare didn’t make up his own plots, and simply noting the use of an existing plot or theme is not, in itself, a criticism. However, it is important for a new version…

Metroid Dread: Unsolved Mysteries the Sequel Needs to Answer

New DVD release
Scheduled for release for Nintendo Switch on October 8th, the highly anticipated Metroid Dread is being touted as the final chapter in the Metroid story that began nearly 35 years ago. This isn’t necessarily the last time we’ll see Samus in action (Metroid Prime 4 will finally be released one day), but it will likely act as the culmination of her bout against the titular alien menace. For all those reasons and more, the pressure is on developer MercurySteam and director Yoshio Sakamoto to deliver an epic Metroid tale that also answers the many unresolved questions and unsolved mysteries in…

Supergirl: Kara and Lena Save the Day with Magic and Transparency

New DVD release
This SUPERGIRL article contains spoilers for Season 6, Episode 14, “Magical Thinking.” Supergirl Season 6 Episode 14 For half a dozen episodes now, Supergirl (both the hero and the show itself) has told us that Nyxly is unlike any other threat that the Super Friends have ever faced. With this episode and a confession to Lena, Supergirl finally makes their case. Nyxly, with all her magic abilities, leaves Kara feeling helpless, able to be defeated – like most people are in the face of danger, without someone like her to come save them. Nyxly renders Kara something like human. There’s been an…

How House of the Dragon Depicts a More Accurate Iron Throne

New DVD release
The arrival of House of the Dragon’s long-awaited debut trailer reveals a version of Westeros in which royal House Targaryen reigns supreme with the strength of swords and the fire of dragons. Yet, while the defining symbol of said supremacy, the Iron Throne, makes an appearance, it looks dramatically different from the one coveted by claimants some 200 years later during the events of Game of Thrones. Interestingly, the throne’s new look actually better reflects creator George R.R. Martin’s more-menacing vision of the challenged chair. “Dreams didn’t make us kings. Dragons did.” The Iron-Throne-accompanying trailer line, delivered by Prince Daemon…

Charles Addams Cartoons Are Far Darker Than The Addams Family Films

New DVD release
The 1960s TV sitcom The Addams Family was brilliant, but could only go so far because of the sensitivities of the times. Barry Sonnenfeld’s 1991 creature feature comedy classic The Addams Family, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this month, is marvelous, but Raul Julia is far too handsome to capture the repugnance of Chas Addams original drawings. The Addams Family 2, an animated sequel recently released in theaters and on demand, turns Cousin It into a plush toy. Linda H. Davis is the author of Charles Addams: A Cartoonist’s Life, the only biography written about Addams. She says the creator…

Link Tank: What If…? Reveals One of the MCU’s Biggest Weaknesses

New DVD release
What If…? is proving Marvel Studios is incapable of telling a story without everything connecting at some point. “There are a few things about Avengers: Endgame that set it apart from the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe canon, and one of them is the fact that it’s the rare movie in that series that has an ending. It is an ending, really. Endgame went to so much trouble resolving nearly every ongoing plot thread and character arc that it very much could have served as the final Marvel movie: The end to the grand experiment that started a decade earlier when Nick Fury showed up during…

How Tom Hardy’s Venom Finally Made the Character a Superhero

New DVD release
For decades, Marvel has been confused about what to do with Venom. While one of their more marketable characters, the company has never been sure what his deal is. Is he a villain, blinded by his own failures and driven mad? Is he a self-described hero, trying to use his status to justify his endless bloodlust? Is he the hulking agent of a corrupt Avengers, existing as a monstrous alien costume controlling a pathetic criminal too desperate for relevance? Is he a handicapped war hero trying to live up to Spider-Man’s example by using the violent symbiote as a weapon…
