Star Wars: Best Darth Maul Moments from The Clone Wars and Beyond

New DVD release, , ,
This Star Wars article contains spoilers. Since his debut in The Phantom Menace, Darth Maul has demanded the attention of Star Wars fans everywhere. In 1999, Maul looked unlike any villain that had come before in the saga, and the movie’s high-energy lightsaber duel is still one of the most memorable parts of the Prequel Trilogy. It’s unfortunate, then, that Maul was originally created by George Lucas as a one-off character, present only to re-establish the threat of the Sith.  But you can’t keep a good character down. Maul returned in The Clone Wars season 4 to introduce even more…

The absence of live sports during the novel coronavirus pandemic doesn’t mean a dearth of interesting sports narratives. There’s a whole ecosystem of documentaries telling tales from in and around the world of athletics that many sports fans have yet to discover.

HBO Now New Releases: May 2020

New DVD release
May isn’t quite summer yet but it is usually time that the networks start wrapping up their newest shows and preparing for a relatively fallow summer period. Since HBO isn’t a network, it has no such business model. But May sees the winding down of some HBO blockbusters all the same. While there are some notable new releases for HBO in May 2020, the bigger story might be the things that are ending. Westworld concludes its third season on May 3 while new series Run wraps up on May 24. Thankfully the film losses in May aren’t too bad for…

Hulu New Releases: May 2020

New DVD release
There are few surefire successes in television. It just so happens that with its new releases for May 2020, Hulu almost certainly found itself one. May 8 sees the debut of all eight episodes of Solar Opposites, the latest sci-fi animated effort from Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland. This is a brand new story featuring a family of aliens crashing to Earth and learning to live amongst the rest of us weirdos. But the animation style and sci-fi themes hew so closely to Rick and Morty that there’s no way this won’t be a hit. On the off chance…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Bryan Singer left filming on X-Men: Apocalypse for more than ten days to cope with a ‘thyroid issue’, according to actress Olivia Munn, who has recounted her experience of working on the film. Munn didn’t hold back when recalling Singer’s disappearance from the set of X-Men: Apocalypse, singling out the director’s lack of presence – a persistent problem that continued during production on Bohemian Rhapsody – as a notable example of men in the industry who “keep failing up”: “It’s the problem that I always had in this business, way before the #MeToo movement exposed so much,” she explained to…

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: May 2020

New DVD release, , ,
It’s been awhile since the world has seen a new comedy from Greg Daniels, co-creator of The Office (U.S.) and Parks and Recreation. That all changes this month with Amazon Prime’s new releases for May 2020. That’s right, leading the pack of Amazon originals on May 1 is Daniels’ Upload, a comedy about digital afterlives. That should inject a healthy dose of sci-fi “middletopia” into our lives. Also premiering in May is the second season of Amazon Prime’s twisty drama Homecoming. This season starts Janelle Monáe and premieres on May 22. After that, the rest of Amazon’s originals this month…

New on Netflix: May 2020 Releases

New DVD release,
While much of the entertainment world is in lockdown and in danger of drying up their respective content pipelines soon, Netflix has claimed that they have more than enough finished projects and business will continue as usual. While that may seem to be an outlandish boast, it’s hard to look at Netflix’s new releases for May 2020 and not think “man, they’re really just not stopping.” Netflix’s new releases for May 2020 are positively loaded with new Netflix originals, intriguing recent films, and even some fun new stock TV shows. Office creator Greg Daniels latest project (not counting Amazon Prime’s…

New MST3K Episode Coming This Sunday, A.D.

New DVD release, , ,
In the not-too-distant past, Mystery Science Theater 3000 returned with two seasons on Netflix, a comic book miniseries, and an annual live tour. Unfortunately, nothing can last forever as Netflix stopped ordering new episodes, the comic miniseries finished up, and the third incarnation of the live tour had to take a powder due to the stupid coronavirus pandemic. That live tour had been something of a way to keep MST3K active enough off TV while killing the time it takes to allow co-creator Joel Hodgson to find a new home for the series. This Sunday, May 3rd, the MST3K Live…

Can an AMC Theatres Ban of Universal Last?

New DVD release,
The sense of solidarity between movie studios and movie exhibitors broke down in spectacularly public fashion this week as Universal Pictures, the studio leading the way in shattering the theatrical window, and AMC Theatres, the largest movie theater chain in North America, entered a public relations confrontation. The showdown, which has so far culminated in AMC Theatres threatening to refuse showing any Universal releases across their nationwide network of theaters when they reopen, began Tuesday morning when NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell told The Wall Street Journal, “The results for Trolls World Tour have exceeded our expectations and demonstrated the viability…

Hollywood Review (Spoiler-Free)

New DVD release, ,
This Hollywood review contains no spoilers is based on all seven episodes. There are two ideas that sum up what Hollywood means to Ryan Murphy, both the place and the new television series he named after it. The first is stated with cynicism by Dylan McDermott, who previously starred in Murphy’s American Horror Story: “The movies hawk an image of wholesome American virtue, right? But the folks making those movies [are] rotten to the core.” And yet, in the same episode, Darren Criss (who starred in Murphy’s Glee) dreams aloud, “Movies just don’t show us how the world is; they…

X-Men: Dark Phoenix Labeled Biggest Flop of 2019

New DVD release, ,
In a sad epitaph to what was once a groundbreaking franchise, the last film of 20th Century Fox’s X-Men movie saga suffered a final indignity: it’s been labeled the biggest flop of 2019. Indeed, internet industry trade site, Deadline, released its annual postmortem on the previous year’s box office this week. And at the top of its list of box office failures is Simon Kinberg’s Dark Phoenix. According to Deadline, Fox, and thereby their new owners at The Walt Disney Company, took a $133 million bath on what was intended to be a franchise course correction after the disappointing (but…

Why Captain America Couldn’t Lift Thor’s Hammer in Avengers: Age of Ultron

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Avengers: Endgame spoilers. But you’ve seen it. Everyone saw it. There’s no shortage of memorable moments in Avengers: Endgame, but a guaranteed audience favorite was the moment Captain America picks up Thor’s hammer and uses it to beat the absolute purple crap out of Thanos. Why is this such a big deal? Well, for starters, the hammer in question, Mjolnir, can only be wielded by those who are considered “worthy,” a little mystical insurance policy put on it by Thor’s dad, Odin. It’s pretty cool to see the Avenger who is the purest of heart officially deemed…

Watch Brie Larson’s First Day as Captain Marvel

New DVD release, , , ,
It’s hard to imagine what Brie Larson‘s first day of filming as Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel might have been like—and now we don’t have to.

One of the best? A video of Larson’s first day on set as Captain Marvel. The video is a particularly interesting one because this isn’t just the first time…

Michael Madsen Reveals Plot Details of Tarantino’s Nixed Vega Brothers Prequel

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The ultraviolently acerbic shared universe of Quentin Tarantino’s films has long been a source of theories and examinations, and one long-acknowledged connection has been between the apparent siblings of Michael Madsen’s Vic Vega (a.k.a. Mr. Blonde) from 1992’s Reservoir Dogs and John Travolta’s Vincent Vega from 1994’s Pulp Fiction. Indeed, Tarantino had plans to connect them onscreen, but it never happened. Now, Madsen reveals new details about the prequel that never was. An intriguing—some might say bittersweet—anecdote about the unmade project came from Michael Madsen himself in an interview with THR, conducted on the occasion of a revival of sorts…
