Tom Cruise and Elon Musk Plan First Movie Shot in Space

New DVD release, , ,
Tom Cruise is one of those actors of a certain age we like to call “the last movie star.” That’s because he can generally still open a movie, often massively so when he’s playing Ethan Hunt. But whether or not he’s the “last movie star,” he’s certainly about to be the first to truly reach heights out of this world… and potentially beyond our orbit. That’s the takeaway from news via Deadline that Cruise is partnering with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to make the first big budget narrative fiction that will film in the actual vacuum of space. While details remain…

Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind Review

New DVD release, , ,
Natasha Gregson Wagner says a poignant thing about her movie star mother, and her all-too tragic death, at the beginning of Laurent Bouzereau’s Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind. “Since then there’s been so much speculation on how she died that it’s overshadowed her life’s work and who she was as a person.” It’s a brief but sudden flash into the perspective of living with a lifelong media whirlwind of speculation and insinuation. It also is clearly Gregson Wagner’s pained personal truth. Yet what’s both interesting and ultimately frustrating about Bouzereau’s new documentary, which just premiered on HBO, is that it…

Demolition Man 2 in the Works at Warner, Says Sylvester Stallone

New DVD release, , , ,
Demolition Man 2 may yet break free from its proverbial project cryoprison. That’s because Sylvester Stallone, who headlined the cheeky 1993 action/sci-fi cult classic, has dropped the intriguing news that the highly-hypothesized sequel is on the docket over at Warner Bros. Stallone made the revelatory statement in a rather casual manner during a Q&A on his Instagram, answering a fan’s question about a potential Demolition Man sequel with a surprisingly potent—albeit brief—reveal of the project’s apparent position on the studio’s backlog. As Stallone answers of the sequel prospects: “I think it’s coming. We’re working on it right now with Warner…

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains Hollywood spoilers. You can find our spoiler-free review here. It’s a beautiful fantasy. On Oscar night 1948, the same evening that in real-life Walt Disney’s troubling Song of the South received an honorary Oscar for James Baskett’s performance, Rock Hudson came out of the closet in front of the entire world. Standing on the red carpet with his hand in Archie Coleman’s, a black man who was nominated for the Best Original Screenplay Oscar, Rock announces his love to the world and says he is not afraid. But like many sparkling things in Ryan Murphy shows, it’s…

Alan Tudyk Recreates Iconic Firefly Scene as Star Wars Droid K-2SO

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Firefly Alan Tudyk is a busy, busy man. Just in the last couple of years he’s been the voice of Oliver Queen in Young Justice, The Joker in Harley Quinn and Dangerboat in The Tick, as well as appearing in front of the camera as Mr. Nobody in Doom Patrol and Gary in Santa Clarita Diet, but for many geeks, he’ll always be fondly remembered as Firefly‘s trustworthy pilot Wash, whose death in the series’ movie conclusion, Serenity, still stands as one of the most upsetting on-screen demises…

Taika Waititi Pilfered Lord of the Rings Props for What We Do in the Shadows

New DVD release, , , , ,
Before What We Do in the Shadows was a series on FX, it was an independent film comedy shot in New Zealand, and written and directed by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. The pair more recently created the series and still occasionally direct episodes of the show, but Waititi’s schedule is getting awfully full these days, especially now that it’s been announced he will direct and co-write the next Star Wars movie, one of the biggest potential popcorn sellers currently in the world. But it hasn’t been long since the scrappy stand-up turned filmmaker had to scrimp on budgets to…

Star Wars Streaming Guide: Where to Watch Online

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains Star Wars spoilers. There’s no end in sight to Star Wars. Disney controls both Lucasfilm and the world itself, so it’s going to be a long time before we don’t have a new Star Wars movie to look forward to. The “watch every Star Wars movie” marathons are bound to get longer and you’ll need an easy compendium of sources to find each and every flick.  With that in mind, we’ve compiled the complete list of Star Wars streaming movies. This covers the original trilogy, the sequel trilogy, the prequels, and any other Star Wars-related movie that will…

New Star Wars Movie Coming From Taika Waititi

New DVD release, , ,
While it may be a while before we get a new Star Wars movie, that doesn’t mean that Disney and Lucasfilm are slowing down. Disney has just confirmed the rumors that have been circulating for the last few months: Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit, Thor: Ragnarok) will direct a new Star Wars movie. Krysty Wilson-Cairns (1917, the upcoming Last Night in Soho) will co-write the screenplay with Waititi. This isn’t Waititi’s first time around in the Star Wars universe either. He voiced the bounty hunter droid IG-11 on several episodes of the first season of The Mandalorian, and directed the season…

New DVD release, ,
This story is presented by If you’ll pardon the pun, Star Wars changed the galaxy when the movie hit theaters in May of 1977.

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains major Hollywood spoilers. You can find our easter egg guide for the previous episode here. Don’t you just love a happy ending? Ryan Murphy clearly did with regards to Hollywood, and while we had mixed ideas of our own about that conclusion, there is no denying how gratifying it is to see representation shared with those whom society marginalized for years and centuries. There is a real sugar rush of “what if” good cheer about the series’ version of Oscar night 1948. Here are some of the facts the series changed, and some other shout-outs it enjoyed…

Netflix’s Hollywood Episode 6 – Easter Egg and Reference Guide

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Hollywood spoilers. You can find our easter egg guide for the previous episode here. The sixth and penultimate hour of Hollywood attempts to ask some difficult questions about what would happen if a major Hollywood studio attempted to make a film with an African American lead and an interracial romance. The latter aspect is key in understanding the events that occurred. While there were several black stars in Tinseltown by this time, most notably Lena Horne, who Camille Washington is very loosely based on, they were either in supporting roles, usually as a glorified musical act, or…

Another G.I. Joe Movie Sequel in Development

New DVD release, , ,
Paramount continues to have high hopes for the G.I. Joe franchise. Despite the lukewarm response to the first two live action G.I. Joe elements, 2009’s disappointing G.I. Joe and 2013’s surprisingly fun G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the studio is pressing ahead with not just one reboot, but an entire series. The shape of it isn’t really clear just yet, but it’s likely to end up being something of a G.I. Joe (and maybe Hasbro?) shared universe of some kind. First up is Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. That film, directed by Robert Schwentke, stars Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians) as everyone’s…

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Hollywood spoilers. You can find our easter egg guide for the previous episode here. A lighter episode for inside baseball winks and nudges, the fourth hour of Hollywood still crucially introduces us to the concept of Avis being friends with Eleanor Roosevelt, as well as the prospect of turning “Peg” into “Meg.” So like Ace’s blood pressure, let’s get cracking. Hollywood Episode 4 -As far as I’m aware, there is no Gene Tierney movie in which she plays a fake nun who seduces William Holden, nor is there a movie where Humphrey Bogart plays Indian-slaughterer William Henry…

Netflix’s Hollywood Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains major Hollywood spoilers. You can find our spoiler-free review here. It certainly is a Hollywood ending. On the corner of Hollywood Boulevard, a gas station that should be consigned to obscurity and whispered reveries is now going to be immortalized as the opening scene of a big Hollywood movie. In the year 1948, nearly 60 years before Brokeback Mountain, most of the cast and crew behind Ace Pictures’ Meg are reunited for the first glossy romance about two gay men. And in it, Rock Hudson (Jack Piercing) wears a spiffy white uniform while promising to take a…

Netflix’s Hollywood: The History of the Real People in the Series

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains spoilers for all seven episodes of Hollywood. “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” That line from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, the last masterpiece from one of Golden Age Hollywood’s most revered directors, John Ford has become pretty legendary itself. Yet it seems Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan decided to do Ford one better in their version of Hollywood: write the fantasy. Running across seven episodes on Netflix, Hollywood is far more a golden hued fairy tale than even Quentin Tarantino’s vision of 1969 Tinseltown in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, and yet…
