My Hero Academia Season 5 Episode 23 Review: Tenko Shimura: Origin

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers for Season 5, Episode 23. “You’re right. I just want to destroy.” There’s an inherent risk of ruining the magic that surrounds certain characters by answering all of the questions that contextualize them—especially when it comes to villains—but My Hero Academia has not only avoided this particular story struggle, but excelled in the territory and turned the challenge into some of the show’s most powerful episodes. They’re the perfect amount of dark and haunting without feeling exploitative or off the mark from what the series should represent.  There is no shortage of villains…

Malignant and a Quick History of the Seattle Underground

New DVD release, , , ,
This Malignant article contains spoilers. It’s the setting of two of Malignant‘s best scenes, a forgotten city underneath modern-day Seattle. It’s one of the many locations where director James Wan‘s newest monster likes to hunt his prey. Appropriately enough, we first visit this real-world location during a tour guided by Serena May (Jean Louisa Kelly), who we’ll learn later is the key to unlocking Madison’s (Annabelle Wallis) past. Serena walks her audience through the Seattle of the past, an old market with cobblestone streets buried after a great fire. It’s a metaphor for Serena and Madison’s own predicaments, of course,…

Malignant’s “Where Is My Mind” Song Has a Famous Hollywood Legacy

New DVD release, , , ,
This Malignant article contains spoilers. Like Gabriel (Ray Chase) inside Madison’s head (Annabelle Wallis), once you hear Safari Riot and Grayson Sanders’ energetic cover of Pixies song “Where Is My Mind,” it’ll be very difficult to get that earworm out of your brain. It’s a tune that accompanies some of Malignant‘s most outrageous scene, like a missing woman suddenly falling through Madison’s ceiling in the second act. And director James Wan chose wisely. After all, “Where Is My Mind” is a song that has a history of ushering in stunning moments in Hollywood movies. If Stephen King fans jumped at…

James Wan Horror Movies Ranked

New DVD release, , ,
James Wan has a new horror movie out this weekend, and it’s been far too long since we’ve been able to write that. As one of the singular genre filmmakers of his generation, Wan managed to launch three successful and pop culture defining horror franchises in less than a decade between Saw (2004), Insidious (2010), and The Conjuring (2013). And yet, the Australian director hasn’t stepped foot in a spooky house since 2016’s The Conjuring 2. Moving on to bigger and (maybe?) better things in Furious 7 and Aquaman, Wan’s new status as a blockbuster director caused many fans to…

Lucifer Season 6 Episode 5 Review: The Murder of Lucifer Morningstar

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 6 Episode 5 “I think it’s time for Detective Decker to make a comeback.” It’s difficult to say which of the narrative reveals found in “The Murder of Lucifer Morningstar” will produce the most dramatic results as Lucifer reaches the halfway point of its final season. Nevertheless, Lucifer’s ascension to God’s throne seems to be on hold as his obsession with learning the truth about his disappearance from his daughter’s life moves to the front of the story line. And then there’s time travel. Given the nature of Aurora’s tale of abandonment and…

Lucifer Season 6 Episode 4 Review: Pin the Tail on the Daddy

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 6 Episode 4 “Why does everyone think beaming up is a thing?” There are narrative bombshells, and then there are nuclear warheads. “Pin the Tail on the Daddy” takes Lucifer explosively into a totally unexpected sphere, but it’s one that should facilitate his ascension and the beginning of his tenure as God. Still, nothing’s ever that easy, is it? Though Lucifer repeatedly contends angels can’t father children, his brother Amenadiel stands as proof that things, at least on Earth, have obviously changed. Little Charlie’s timeline makes perfect chronological sense, but the newly arrived…

Harry Potter Characters That Were Lost in Film Translation

New DVD release, , ,
When all is said and done, the Harry Potter book series is 1,084,170 words long. So it’s only natural that, in fitting each novel into a roughly two-hour film, some story elements would need to fall by the wayside. Characters and entire subplots are chopped into bits and pieces to fit the new, abridged narrative structure. Peeves disappears entirely. This is why so many fans of literature always seem to prefer the book to the movie—how could they not, with all the sumptuous little details that text invariably seems to add to the experience?  But while you may be able…

What Upcoming MCU Movies Fit Marvel’s New Release Dates?

New DVD release, , , ,
Marvel, you’ve done it again! And by “it” I mean you’ve announced a batch of new release dates that don’t have projects attached to them just yet. It’s a fairly regular practice for Marvel Studios to announce new release dates long before they tell the public what movies will slot into them, and they often do it long before there’s even enough announced projects to fill the space. In this case, the four new 2024 MCU movie release dates that Marvel Studios revealed brings the grand total of mystery dates to seven: July 28, 2023, Oct. 6, 2023, Nov. 10,…

How Lucifer Season 6 Borrows from Harley Quinn

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains light spoilers for Lucifer season 6. Avoid only if you want a completely unsullied experience. Lucifer has been to Hell and back. Quite literally. Based on the DC character introduced in the Sandman comic books, the TV series follows the devilish Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), who abandons his own fiery realm to open a nightclub in Los Angeles. But, as he began to consult for the LAPD, Lucifer slowly developed feelings towards Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) and along the way, inadvertently discovered he was far more human than he ever expected.  The show originally aired on…

Malignant Ending Explained

New DVD release, ,
This article contains spoilers for Malignant. In director James Wan’s first horror movie in five years, Malignant, pregnant heroine Madison (Annabelle Wallis) is traumatized early on when her abusive husband (Jake Abel) is slaughtered in their Seattle home by a vicious yet ill-defined killer lurking in the shadows. Madison is further devastated when she learns that she’s lost her baby in the attack—apparently the fourth pregnancy that she has been unable to carry to term, with the earlier ones being three miscarriages. Her torment continues when she forms a psychic link with the killer, which allows her to watch helplessly…

How Malignant’s Monster Calls Back to Stephen King

New DVD release, , ,
This Malignant article contains spoilers. Malignant has a twist so wild you need to see it to believe it. Seriously, stop reading right now if you have even the faintest interest in watching James Wan‘s latest horror offering. You really don’t want to spoil this for yourself. Sure, you’ll either really love or absolutely hate the movie’s batshit third act, but the experience of watching the twist for the first time is worth the price of admission. If you have watched the movie, maybe you left as astonished as I did. After all, the first two thirds of the movie…

God of War Ragnarok: “Fat Thor” Design Divides the Internet Despite Being Perfect

New DVD release, , , , , ,
While we were all buzzing about PlayStation’s incredible September showcase, Sony Santa Monica Art Director Raf Grassetti caused a bit of a debate on Twitter when he shared the first full, official image of Thor as he appears in God of War: Ragnarok. My boy! pic.twitter.com/5hPocTewBJ— Raf Grassetti (@rafagrassetti) September 9, 2021 To get a portion of the editorial portion of this program out of the way early, I think that design is awesome. Aside from a few scenes in Avengers: Endgame that were mostly played for laughs, we typically don’t see Thor depicted in this way despite the fact…

Kate Review: Mary Elizabeth Winstead Kicks Ass in Netflix’s Latest Thriller

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Style over substance doesn’t even begin to cover the flashy but empty thrills of Kate, a Netflix original action film which plays a lot like a video game. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is Kate, a highly skilled assassin working in Japan with her long-time handler and best mate Varrick (Woody Harrelson). The two have a rule: no kids. So when an assignment in Osaka sees Kate take out a mark in front of his young daughter, she is wracked with guilt. It’s a decision that will come back to haunt her in unexpected ways. This is the second feature from director…

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer Follows Man Who Lived Long Enough to ‘Become the Villain’

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Not everyone can die a hero. Christopher Nolan emphasized that point by even taking the mask away from Batman in The Dark Knight Trilogy, proving Bruce Wayne knows how to make an entrance and then be smart enough to plan an exit strategy. Exits proved vital to other Nolan projects as well, including the searing Dunkirk, a World War II epic highlighting the heroism of the common foot soldier and the British evacuation of France. Now his next movie will also be set during WWII, but it’s about an extraordinary man, who never forgave himself for building the weapon that…

Lucifer Season 6 Episode 3 Review: Yabba Dabba Do Me

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 6 Episode 3 “How do you help somebody who’s in Hell?” Unlike the series’ titular character, Lucifer showrunner Joe Henderson clearly embraces taking risks with his Netflix fantasy series. Having successfully navigated the potential pitfalls of a musical episode, Henderson brilliantly adds animation to the show’s resume with the delightful, yet insightful “Yabba Dabba Do Me.” However, it’s the episode’s bombshell conclusion that promises to take Lucifer on an emotional journey he did not expect to have to confront. The opening camera shot reveals Linda’s in progress manuscript, Sympathy for the Devil: My…

Malignant: Where to Watch and HBO Max Release Details

New DVD release, , , ,
Much will be said about James Wan‘s return to horror in the coming weeks. It’s a divisive movie, to say the least. But more than anything else, Malignant represents a chance for Wan to re-write the blockbuster horror playbook once again, just as he has several times before with franchises like Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring. Will Malignant launch a new era for horror movies or will it go down as the Wan film we collectively don’t talk about when going over his directorial resume? Let’s just say Malignant is nothing like the aforementioned Wan horror hits of yore. Malignant…

Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic Remake Can’t be Afraid to Change the Original

New DVD release, , , , ,
If you would have told me two, five…even ten years ago that we were getting a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that would update the beloved 2003 RPG with modern graphics, modern audio, and a few mechanical improvements, I would have been thrilled. In fact, I probably would have been upset if you told me that remake would go so far as to significantly change any aspect of the original game’s combat, story, or any of the other elements that have led many to call it one of the best RPGs of the last 20 years and…

BTS Military Service: Korean Government Postpones Exemption Decision

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It has long been assumed that the seven members of Korean group BTS will take a break from their careers as musical artists and performers in order to serve in the Korean military. (In Korea, all able-bodied South Korean men are required by the Military Service Act to serve in the country’s military for roughly 20 months between the ages of 18-28.) However, the traditional age deadline for enlistment has come and gone for BTS’ oldest members, a delay made possible by an amendment passed last year that allows the postponement of military service for the most distinguished of K-pop…

Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Trailer Teases a Villainous Strand

New DVD release, , , , ,
The trailer for Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 has arrived, further teasing bleak imagery in the wake of Season 6’s monumental mushroom cloud climax, which effectively upgraded the spinoff’s uniquely upgraded dilemma to a nuclear zombie apocalypse. However, a prominent narrative being promoted is the apparent transformation of series-OG character Victor Strand (Colman Domingo) into a villain, one who has become fixated on making life even more difficult than it already is in this world for Morgan Jones (Lennie James).    Indeed, the official trailer shows how the series could be effectively renamed “Fear the Walking Dead or How…
