What the Candyman Ending Means for a Sequel and His Immortal Legend

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Candyman spoilers. It is an exquisite final image. Swarmed in a symphony of bees and standing triumphant over his latest victim—a police officer sprawled out in an alleyway’s gutter—Candyman looks joyful. He’s the monster who’s haunted the ruins of what was once Cabrini-Green for more than a hundred years, and the legend who frightened children and caused lovers to cling closer in their rapture, and now he’s at last returned to his flock. Only this time Candyman is saving the woman who summoned him instead of destroying her. As Teyonah Parris’ Brianna Cartwright looks on, her salvation…

Marvel’s Hawkeye TV Series is a Christmas Show

New DVD release, , ,
Superhero movies and TV shows set during the holiday season are pretty rare beasts. Sure, we’ve had the occasional vaguely holiday themed episode of an Arrowverse show from time to time (since those shows, at least pre-pandemic, tended to operate more or less in “real time” with their broadcast schedules), and of course both Iron Man 3 and Shazam! were set around the Christmas season. But it’s rare that they really revel in the atmosphere of the season. That’s going to change with Marvel’s new Hawkeye series coming to Disney+ in November, which according to executive producer Trin Tranh is…

Vigil Episode 2 Review: Deeper into the Conspira-Sea!

New DVD release, , , ,
Warning: this review contains Vigil spoilers. “You’ll be on board for three days, finish your paperwork, then they’ll let you off on a raft,” DCI Silva was told. Small hope of that. More like you’ll be on board for three weeks, have zero time for paperwork between the near-misses with passing tankers, nuclear reactor failures and scheming Lieutenant Commanders, and, if you come any closer to the truth, they’ll only let you off as shark chum.  “They” being the person or persons responsible for the fatal poisoning of Chief Petty Officer Craig Burke. That’s right – poison. Silva’s such a good detective…

Ed Asner: The Most Memorable Animated Roles From the TV Legend

New DVD release, , , ,
We lost a great one this weekend with Ed Asner. The lovably gruff actor died at 91. Asner was a prolific actor, not only having well over 400 credits to his name, but also still performing roles to the end. Sure, every obituary is going to talk up how well known he was for The Mary Tyler Moore Show and all that, but for many of us, he was a huge part of our childhoods. Ed Asner did plenty of voice work. More than I can talk about here, but his deep, growly, and at times friendly voice lent itself…

HBO Max New Releases: September 2021

New DVD release,
The summer movie season may be winding down, but HBO Max is keeping the movie ball rolling in September 2021. HBO Max’s list of new releases this month is heavy on the film side of things – both in library and original offerings. Two Warner Bros. films of note arrive this month. The James Wan-directed horror tale Malignant premieres on Sept. 10 and is followed by Clint Eastwood’s Cry Macho on Sept. 17. The next installment in Adventure Time: Distant Lands (which is kind of like a film series!) is titled Wizard City and opens the month on Sept. 2…

Link Tank: Are Physical Video Game Discs and Cartridges a Thing of the Past?

New DVD release, , , ,
Are physical game discs/cartridges officially going the way of the dodo? “So here’s something strange: It’s been nearly 10 months since the PS5 launched and I have yet to buy or even hold a physical PS5 game. I have plenty of PS5 games, sure, but they are all digital. Compared to every previous console I’ve owned, this feels so weird. But it’s not too surprising, either.” Read more at Kotaku Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania might be the most important movie on the MCU Phase 4 slate. “Currently in production, the threequel will be the first Marvel Cinematic Universe title to feature…

Fear and Loathing in Aspen Plants Its Freak Flag High

New DVD release, , ,
Hunter S. Thompson is a confounding figure. Though he didn’t invent Gonzo journalism, he is the most identifiable face of it. His first-person narrative style of news gathering makes him partially accountable for the overriding trends of internet journalism, on both sides of the aisle and all the cleanup calls which go along with them. Thompson’s 1970 attempt to run for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado, marked the beginning of baby boomer politicking. Writer-director Bobby Kennedy III’s Fear and Loathing in Aspen tells that story with wit, wisdom and weirdness. Set just before Thomson, played by Jay Bulger, caught his…

Money Heist Season 4 Recap: For Nairobi!

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
The following contains spoilers for Money Heist season 4. If there’s one thing that can be said about Money Heist, it’s that it’s been a wild ride. Even the way the show got popular was crazy. The original Spanish series, La Casa de Papel (literally translated as “the house of paper”), was cancelled after one season. But when Netflix picked it up, the show blew up. It blew up like an exploding bank vault with a resounding boom that was heard all around the world. The show became the most watched non-English series on Netflix, not to mention a global…

Call of Duty: Vanguard Alpha Struggles to Sell Champion Hill Mode

New DVD release, , ,
Call of Duty: Vanguard’s recent PlayStation Alpha gave PS4 and PS5 players the chance to try out the game’s new Champion Hill mode, but there’s already a heated debate among the Alpha’s participants regarding whether or not this was the best way for Vanguard to make a good first impression. To be clear, we are talking about an Alpha, and the purpose of this Alpha was clearly to acquire feedback/data that will help developer Sledgehammer Games tweak Vanguard ahead of its November 5 release date. Indeed, the Vanguard team has already been busy responding to player feedback in order to…

Succession Knows Tom and Greg Are Its Real Power Couple

New DVD release, , ,
The wonderful thing about fans is that, as unbiased onlookers, they often recognize patterns in the art they love before the actual artists can. Take, for example, the case of Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) and “Cousin” Greg Hirsch (Nicholas Braun) on HBO’s award-winning dramedy Succession.  While the pair of Roy family outsiders (Tom is married to patriarch Logan Roy’s only daughter and Cousin Greg is…well, a cousin) initially tried to make their way into the dynasty’s good graces through its more established members, fans couldn’t help but notice that the two bit players had uncommonly good chemistry together. Thankfully, the…

Doctor Who’s Weeping Angels Are Perfect Horror Monsters But Are They Returning Villains?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Have you heard? If not, let Steven Moffat be the first to tell you: Whittaker’s Doctor is “going to fight THE WEEPING ANGELS!!”  Moffat, who invented the Weeping Angels, has every right to be proud of his creation. Few would dispute that the Weeping Angels are NuWho’s break-out monster. In a 2020 poll of scariest Who monsters of all time, the angels ran away with the vote. Modern viewers might not retreat behind the sofa anymore when the Daleks roll in, but “Blink” had people giving cemetery statues a nervous second look. There’s a delicious fright to the idea that an innocent…

Val Kilmer on Batman Forever: ‘It’s So Bad, It’s Almost Good’

New DVD release, , ,
Val Kilmer is back in the public conversation. It’s easy to see why after the premiere of the documentary Val, a new release from Amazon Studios and A24. Melancholic and wistful, the film documents Kilmer’s eclectic career as a rising movie star in the 1980s and ‘90s, and his more recent battle (and victory over) cancer. Hence the film must must talk about his time as Bruce Wayne in 1995’s Batman Forever. Yet as good as the doc is, its impressionistic view of the actor’s life tends to leave some of his sardonic musings and general conviviality off the screen.…

Legends of Tomorrow Delivers the Ultimate John Constantine Story

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Legends of Tomorrow spoilers. Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 14 As a longtime comics reader, one of they rules that gets ingrained early is “Unless you see a body, they’re not dead.” Superheroes in comics have been dying and coming back since the dawn of superheroes, but when there’s a corpse seen on screen, it’s much harder to undo. So…uh…what about when someone goes from “breathing” to “truffle powder” on screen? He’s dead, right? There’s certainly time (one episode) and ample opportunity (maybe he’s a mushroom now? Nobody knows how mushrooms work) to undo the events…

The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 2 Review: Acheron Part 2

New DVD release, , , ,
This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 2 So far in season 11 of The Walking Dead, the biggest weapon in the arsenal of the survivors hasn’t been a gun, but the brain. Specifically, the power of observation. Princess used it to good effect to nearly get the group out of Commonwealth processing prison, and now Yumiko is taking the information Princess and others have gathered on the people around them, churns it through her lawyer-trained mind, and comes up with a line of patter so effective it makes Ezekiel’s summation of lead guard…

The Walking Dead: Who Is Stephanie?

New DVD release,
This Walking Dead article contains spoilers. One of The Walking Dead‘s central mysteries for the last year has revolved around the voice on the other side of Eugene’s radio. Throughout season 10, Eugene talked to a woman named Stephanie (Margot Bingham) from a settlement in Charleston, West Virginia (as revealed in the episode “Morning Star”).

Vigil Episode 1 Review: A Top Twist On the Trid-ent Tested Murder Mystery

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Warning: This Vigil review contains spoilers. A booming naval salute to Vigil, which marks the return of the Sunday night BBC One drama after a long absence for reasons of football, Olympics, and allegedly, summer sunshine. From the writer of BBC detective series Strike, this thriller is just the thing to take us into autumn. It has it all: peril, intrigue, murder, Suranne Jones being winched from a helicopter onto a submarine like a prize toy in an arcade claw machine, and a conspiracy that (likely) goes all the way to the heart of the top of the uppermost ridge of the establishment. Strap in.  “How…

Why Netflix Saved Manifest Season 4

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
Fans who wished for Manifest season 4 had reason to hope that Netflix would rescue their beloved show, but they might wonder why it took so long to finally make the announcement. After all, the show was in the streaming giant’s top 10 list ever since NBC announced its cancelation. But there may have been more to it than simply picking up the series outright or waiting for a Twitter campaign to prove that the audience was still out there. Obviously, there was a certain amount of negotiation that had to happen behind the scenes between Warner Bros. Television, which…

Evil Season 2 Episode 7 Review: S Is for Silence

New DVD release, , ,
This Evil review contains spoilers. Evil Season 2 Episode 7 Moving from the networks to the more risk-taking Paramount+ brings more fun and experimentation to Evil season 2. Episode 7, “S Is for Silence,” takes its title seriously, but also humorously, as the series presents its first entry into the silent genre of visual storytelling. Half the team go off exploring the shadowy darkness of impressionists, the other explores silent comedies. Not a word has been spoken within the walls of the monastery of St. Thomas in 130 years, reads a sign just inside the gate. The compound and structure…

TV’s Most Confusing Episodes From Doctor Who to Westworld

New DVD release, , ,
There has to be some confusion in a TV drama, a procession of things not-yet-understood. That’s the deal: accept temporary bafflement in the expectation that at some point, all will be revealed. Or even if it won’t be, at least there’s a reason it’s been left unsolved, like a Sudoku you’ve got jam on.  Read more TV Enough, Scrappy-Doo!
