Scream 3: Parker Posey’s Jennifer Is the Franchise’s Most Underrated Character

New DVD release
Forget “What’s your favorite scary movie?” Forget “I’ll be right back.” The defining line of the Scream franchise in this humble writer’s opinion is the one that Jennifer Jolie delivers as she gets stabbed by Ghostface: “You can’t kill me!” she shouts in disbelief. “I’m the killer in Stab 3! I’m the killer!” Yes, that line does show up in Scream 3, easily the least loved entry in the series. Which might be why you don’t remember it. Indeed, while Scream 3 brought back director Wes Craven, it replaced screenwriter Kevin Williamson, whose snappy and self-aware dialogue was central to…

Exploring O’Dessa’s Roots in Old School VHS Video Store Glory

New DVD release
“In another time, in another place… the world has been poisoned.” So opines the introductory wall of text in O’Dessa. Marketed ahead of its release as writer-director Geremy Jasper’s new rock opera fantasia starring Sadie Sink and Kelvin Harrison Jr., from the outside the film looks of its current moment with the stars of Stranger Things and Waves marqueeing a streaming release. But inside its own head, there burns a fever dream that is something much more hallucinatory… and retro. Just take that opening insert text and the visions of post-apocalyptic ruins which accompany it. The message is superimposed on…

James Bond Has New Producers, So Maybe We Can Stop Freaking Out

New DVD release
Being a James Bond fan is never easy. Not only is the franchise seemingly always teetering on the brink of social irrelevance, but the behind-the-scenes drama to even make these movies seems never-ending. At the start of this year, 007 loyalists and casual movie fans alike were shocked to learn that Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson—representatives of Eon Productions and the producing family that has stewarded the Bond films since 1962—were closing up shop and selling to Amazon. Immediately pundits and fans the world over, myself included, lost our minds. The thing that made James Bond special and truly…

Avengers: Doomsday Cast Announced – Updated Live

New DVD release
Marvel shocked everyone at San Diego Comic-Con last year when Doctor Doom strode onto the stage and pulled off his mask to reveal himself as Robert Downey Jr., returning for Avengers: Doomsday. And now Marvel’s doing something just as audacious to reveal the rest of the Avengers: Doomsday cast. On their main Twitter feed, Marvel Studios is revealing… chairs. Okay, yeah, they’re chairs with names on them! But they’re still chairs. At intervals of 10-15 minutes, we see a new chair and a new cast member’s name on it. Which is kinda annoying if you’re a regular person who doesn’t…

The Woman in the Yard: Inside a Blumhouse Ghost Story Shattering Every Stereotype

New DVD release
It’s broad daylight. A towering woman dressed in all black, her face covered in an ominous black veil, stands in the yard of a farmhouse. Acres upon acres of land sit empty in the distance. This is the first clip we are shown on the studio’s monitors of Blumhouse Productions’ new horror The Woman in the Yard when we visited the Athens, Georgia set last year.  Those chilling few seconds of footage set the tone for the tour. It was also, intriguingly, the closest we came to meeting the titular character of the movie (at least in costume). While the…

Ben Affleck Never Got a Superhero Role That Did Justice to His Talent

New DVD release
Given that Charlie Cox‘s work as Matt Murdock on Daredevil: Born Again, as well as Robert Pattinson‘s turn as Bruce Wayne in The Batman, it might be easy to understand why Ben Affleck recently announced that he’s done with the superhero genre. Affleck’s two outings in the world of tights and capes, in 2003’s Daredevil and later the Zack Snyder 2010s era of the DC Universe, were largely met with critical and audience division. Anyone just focusing on Daredevil or Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice might therefore think that Affleck’s retirement from superheroes is no great loss. That’s especially…

Snow White: Rachel Zegler Improves on the Original with a Few Key Changes

New DVD release
This article contains some very mild spoilers for Disney’s Snow White. Long before seven Dwarfs show up as CGI motion-capture oddities instead of of lovingly hand-drawn creations, 2025’s Snow White was already making striking changes to 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. And believe it or not, not all of them were as disturbingly misguided as those Dwarfs of the Uncanny Valley. Gone is the Prince, who is now replaced here by a roguish resistance leader. An instead of ending with Snow White revived by true love’s kiss—a scene which still occurs—the 2025 film continues on past the resurrection…

Alessandro Nivola: The Brutalist Cast Teases Adrien Brody Over ‘Really Long’ Oscar Speech

New DVD release
The 2025 Oscars were filled with memorable moments, from Conan O’Brien’s able job hosting to Sean Baker’s historic four wins for a single movie, Anora. But the most notable for folks in the heartland might’ve been Adrien Brody’s Best Actor win for The Brutalist. Not so much the fact that Brody won, but rather his reaction to winning. Brody gave a five-minute speech that ranged from the personal to the political. And it was longer than that of any other recipient ever. It apparently also was a subject of conversation, if apparently mostly in jest, among the people who made…

John Carpenter and Bong Joon Ho Make a Perfect Collaboration

New DVD release
After battling deep into the heart of a desolate city to retrieve the kidnapped President of the United States, Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) hands over a cassette tape at the end of Escape from New York. The tape, we’re told, contains the secret to nuclear fusion, a technology that could convince the warring nations of the world to finally stop their fight and finally erach peace. But when the President plays the tape, we hear not scientific secrets, but the sounds of “Bandstand Boogie” Snake destroys the tape as he limps away, confident in the oblivion that follows. Now compare…

Beyond Snow White: Fandom Must Stop Falling for the Hate

New DVD release
After years of internet scrutiny, memes, and vitriolic podcasts, it’s official: Disney’s Snow White remake debuted as a box office disappointment. With studio estimates pegging the film’s opening at around $43 million in the U.S., the new musical comes in south of Tim Burton’s remake of a similarly antiquated Disney property, Dumbo, which opened soft at $45 million in 2019, and above last year’s Mufasa which premiered to $35 million in December. Given Snow White’s reported $270 million price tag, let’s just say the princess has her work cut out to turn a profit. The confirmation of a Disney remake…

Snow White Proves that Shrek Still Haunts Fairytale Movies

New DVD release
This post contains spoilers for Snow White. At the start of Snow White‘s second act, the titular princess finds herself in an enchanted wood. The dark, frightening trees around her recede, replaced by animals who approach Snow White, recognizing her as pure of heart. A bluebird floats up to the princess and lands gently upon her extended finger. This moment, of course, comes from the movie’s primary source, the 1937 Disney animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. But there’s one key difference between the 1937 depiction and the one from 2025. In 1937, Snow White (voiced by Adriana…

The Electric State Confirms How Sci-FI Stories Use A.I. Characters Must Change

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for The Electric State. The Electric State has many problems: derivative plot, lackluster acting, indifferent visual style. But the most troubling issue might be the way it portrays AI. In The Electric State‘s fictional 1994, a technological leap in 1990 allowed machines to become self-aware. They immediately rebelled against their creators, leading to a civil war between humans and machines. Lacking physical feelings of pain and fear of death, the machines seemed poised to win the war until scientist Ethan Skate (Stanley Tucci) created Neurocasters. Neurocasters allowed humans to put their consciousness into mechanical bodies, giving…

Everything We Saw at SXSW 2025 

New DVD release
And that’s another SXSW for the history books. At the same festival that saw a keynote talk given by the CEO trying to bring the Woolly Mammoth back, cinephiles and genre enthusiasts also got a new Babak Anvari banger, the unicorn horror-comedy you never knew you needed, and a reported return to form by Matthew McConaughey after he stepped away from the big screen for the last six years. It was a lot of fun, a lot of work, and as always over too soon. (Spoiler: McConaughey’s much celebrated The Rivals of the Amaziah King is one of the ones…

Robert De Niro’s The Alto Knights Reveals True Story Behind The Godfather Myth

New DVD release
Producer Irwin Winkler has been trying to get The Alto Knights or a movie similar to it made since the 1970s. It might go back even further he confides while reminiscing of his youth growing up in New York City. At the time, his idea of what a “gangster” looked like was defined by a certain image: James Cagney mostly, walking through a downpour of rain while glowering beneath his fedora. Yet that changed when the nightly news started reporting about guys like Frank Costello—the future protagonist of The Alto Knights and the real-life boss of bosses who “retired” from the…

How Johnny Cage Rose to Mortal Kombat’s A-List

New DVD release
Mortal Kombat 2, directed by Simon McQuoid, is set to hit theaters this October. The previous movie from 2021 ended with three big reasons to stick around for the sequel. First, as the film was itself a “Surf Dracula” narrative, we were finally going to get to that pesky fighting tournament instead of just talking about it. Second, we would see the franchise’s iconic villain Shao Kahn in action. Most importantly, we were promised Johnny Cage as a cliffhanger. Actor to be determined. That’s kind of crazy, really. Johnny Cage has been around Mortal Kombat since the very first game.…

Amanda Peet and Alessandro Nivola Discover a Fantasy Life with Matthew Shear

New DVD release
Amanda Peet is not her character Dianne in Fantasy Life. While the fictional creation bears some similarities of also being an actress and facing the eternal insecurities and foibles of this industry, Peet is not a person so stricken with anxiety that it caused her to be away from the screen. In fact, Peet works constantly, including on shows like Brockmire, Togetherness, and The Chair, the latter a Netflix series she co-created. Still, when we sit down to discuss Dianne and everything else about Fantasy Life, a Matthew Shear comedy-drama which would go on to see Peet win the SXSW…

Clown in a Cornfield Marks a Homecoming for Tucker and Dale Director

New DVD release
The prospect of debuting a film at SXSW would excite any filmmaker, but few can match the energy of director Eli Craig, who premiered his movie Clown in a Cornfield there last week. He was so excited, in fact, that he couldn’t help but shout “I’m effing back, baby!” after walking into the Den of Geek Studio in Austin. “I wanted to be here so bad,” Craig elaborates. “You know, when you’re a writer-director, a lot of projects that you spend a lot of time on don’t get made. But this was one I had to see to the end…

Snow White Review: Rachel Zegler Is Great, The Movie Is Not

New DVD release
The film that Disney’s Snow White remake is, and the one it so clearly wants to be, are on simultaneous display in the scene where the title character first reveals her trademark colors. Upon a sunset-drenched hill far afield from the palace, Rachel Zegler is at last encased in the red, blue, and white ruffles which looked so charming nearly a century ago on the hand-sketched page. Beside her a huntsman completes the tableau. It’s a live-action recreation of an exquisite composition from the first animated feature Walt Disney ever produced. If you squint, some of the aspirations that director…

SXSW Grand Jury Winner Slanted Is The Substance for Prom Season

New DVD release
No event is more synonymous with the teenage American experience than prom. And the film industry, Satan bless it, has never lost sight of that fact. Prom movies are dime a dozen in the high school subgenre, ranging from the sweet (Never Been Kissed) to the spirited (Footloose) to the downright Shakespearean (10 Things I Hate About You). Not only does prom have a way of heightening the already hormone-saturated high school experience, it has clear winners or losers like any other American institution worth its salt. Getting on that prom court is a must and becoming prom queen is…

The Threesome Review: Zoey Deutch Rom-Com Delights in the Morning After

New DVD release
Ahead of a SXSW screening for Chad Hartigan’s The Threesome, the director of the film came out to address a theater audibly ready to imbibe in the frothiness of a rom-com with a three-way hook-up. This is not unusual for a film festival, of course. Filmmakers are often on hand to discuss their work. Nonetheless, given that this particular theater was also one which served food and drink, burger and beers, Hartigan had a unique pro-tip for his film: finish the finger food early, because the eponymous threesome in the movie arrives shockingly fast. When that comes, no one will…
