John Carpenter Movies Ranked from Worst to Best

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers John Carpenter is hands down one of America’s greatest filmmakers and composers, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a horror geek that doesn’t adore at least one of his movies. Born in 1948 to a a college music professor, Carpenter fell in love with cinema as a child and was out there making his own short films before he’d even started high school. As the decades flew by, he was at the helm of some of the most beloved sci-fi and horror pictures of all time, whilst also composing the music for most of them, including…

The Gerald’s Game Courtroom Scene Undid One of the Best Stephen King Movies

New DVD release
This article contains Gerald’s Game spoilers. The grace and intelligence with which Mike Flanagan approached Stephen King’s Gerald’s Game novel never gets enough credit. Released to streaming in 2017, the psychological thriller with a hint of the supernatural suffered the same fate as many of the best movies released on Netflix; it blipped into the pop culture aether and then vanished from it, buried by a lack of attention. (The fact it came out the same month as WB’s splashy big budget It: Chapter One didn’t help.) Yet the raw emotional power of the film has lingered for those who…

Taylor Swift Eras Tour Movie Just Did What Barbie and Oppenheimer Could Never

New DVD release
Ooh, look what you made her do! After months of justifiable frustration over the scarcity of affordable tickets to Taylor Swift’s now iconic Eras concert tour, the arguably reigning queen of pop is bringing her show to multiplexes around North America… and it’s still proving impossible to get tickets. In what amounted to a starting bell ringing in Swiftie fans’ ears, tickets went on surprise sale this morning for a previously unannounced concert film of Swift’s Eras tour—and as of press time, the film is playing in North American theater chains AMC, Regal, and Cinemark for only one extended weekend:…

How The Mask of Zorro Revealed the Real History Behind the Legend

New DVD release
There are few pulpy visualizations of revenge that play as satisfyingly as the climax of Martin Campbell’s The Mask of Zorro. Released 25 years ago, the still surprisingly lithe and surefooted swashbuckler culminates with a multigenerational crescendo of vengeance, which is served bloody and fierce. On one level of a crumbling Californian gold mine, the original Zorro is a now aged and dying Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins), and he grapples in his last breath with the man who stole his life and imprisoned him in hell for 20 years. Yet a literal platform below this Count of…

Killers of the Flower Moon’s IMAX Pivot Signals Oppenheimer Levels of Confidence

New DVD release
You can now add Martin Scorsese’s hotly anticipated Killers of the Flower Moon to the films undergoing a delay—at least for a few weeks, anyway. In a curious move by the film’s studio and distributor, Apple and Paramount Pictures, respectively, the eagerly awaited Western crime epic has canceled its limited Oct. 6 release date in the U.S. and will now instead open in wide release on Oct. 20, both in North America and various other global markets, including the UK. And, curiouser still, the film will also be released in IMAX. The news should be giddy to cinephiles and movie…

Dune 2 Delay Signals Entire Fall Film Slate Is in Doubt

New DVD release
“He who can destroy a thing has the real control of it.” So says Paul Muad’Dib Atreides in the latest trailer for Dune: Part Two. However, he might as well be talking for David Zaslav, because the Warner Bros. Discovery CEO seemed to take Atreides’ logic to heart after the Dune sequel was officially delayed yesterday evening. In what had become an expected inevitability, Warner Bros. Pictures made good on leaked intimations at the studio from a month ago: Dune 2 is abandoning its Nov. 3 release date and 2023 altogether, and it is now moving all the way to…

Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon Is Not Just Another Star Wars

New DVD release
The germ of the idea for Zack Snyder’s two-part sci-fi epic, Rebel Moon, came long before he was one of the most famous directors in Hollywood.  “In college, I had said something to my professor like…what about an ensemble movie like Seven Samurai in space?” Snyder told Den of Geek on the set of the Netflix production back in 2022.  The 1954 Akira Kurosawa classic in question is about a small farming village that hires seven samurai to protect them from an army of 40 bandits; Rebel Moon’s story thus likewise centers on the peaceful colony of Veldt and its…

Is Dune 4 Really as Impossible to Make as Denis Villeneuve Believes?

New DVD release
Much like Muad’Dib, the Lisan al Gaib of Arrakis, Denis Villeneuve has a vision: An elegant, self-contained trilogy consisting of three films. The first two are a dual adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal (and gargantuan) science fiction novel, Dune; the third film would meanwhile be a single adaptation of arguably Herbert’s darkest text, the slender second volume in the Atreides saga, Dune Messiah. To fans of Herbert’s novels, this should sound like good and better news—the start of an epic series of films that bring all of Herbert’s books to the screen. Yet more than once Villeneuve has insisted his…

Dune 3 Gets an Unexpected Update Despite Dune 2 Delay

New DVD release
Paul Atreides stands before a mass of warriors, even greater in number than reports had indicated. When he came to the planet Arrakis, Paul was just another human, someone who will die, just like his father Leto and his grandfather Paulus, and he only knew the Fremen from his studies and holofilms. But the Fremen see him not as Paul, but as Muad’Dib. And Muad’Dib cannot be stopped, certainly not by the machinations of the Harkonnens, nor by their masters, Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV and the powerful trade group CHOAM. Okay, that might be a very extra way to start…

Sci-Fi Movies That Are Actually Based on a True Story

New DVD release
Whenever you see a film that opens with the words “based on real events”, you can be sure of two things. One, you’re going to have a good time. Two, that this film will probably contain about as much factual material as I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! contains butter. But we don’t care! We’re not just talking about biopics or historical films here, we’re talking about crime movies like Pain & Gain, Catch Me If You Can, romances like It Could Happen to You, and crime romances like I Love You Phillip Morris. And of course the horror genre…

Francis Ford Coppola Movies Ranked from Worst to Best

New DVD release
Francis Ford Coppola may very well be the greatest American filmmaker. The Godfather, an epic three-motion-picture coup, redefined gangster movies and film; Apocalypse Now remains the greatest Vietnam War allegory ever made; Bram Stoker’s Dracula is perched atop most lists of horror classics. Coppola hit every genre, created art for art’s sake, and still managed to touch the pulse of moviegoers’ needs, desires, and fantasies. More than anything, Coppola pursues innovation. This was exemplified in Distant Vision, which presented live cinema, performed twice, broadcast live to select screening rooms in 2015 and 2016, and not included in the list. The…

You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah Cast: Meet the Actors in the Hilarious New Netflix Movie

New DVD release
We all know that Adam Sandler likes working with people he knows. The movies he produces with his production company Happy Madison regularly feature Kevin Nealon, Rob Schneider, and other cast members from his Saturday Night Live days. Many of his movies also feature supporting turns from guys you only see in Happy Madison flicks, like Alan Covert and Peter Dante. And, of course, he loves to cast Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore as his love interests. So it’s no surprise that Sandler’s latest Netflix movie You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzah sees him once again paired…

Gran Turismo: The True Story vs. the Video Game Movie

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for Gran Turismo. In his new film Gran Turismo, director Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Chappie) steps away from the sci-fi and horror tales he’s been spinning to tell a story—taken from real life—of a video gamer who became so good at simulated race car driving on the titular PlayStation game that he actually made the leap to becoming a professional race car driver, reportedly driving in more than 200 races and managing to hold his own against drivers who had been behind the wheel their entire lives. The young man in question is Jann Mardenborough, played…

Batman Movie Villains Ranked from Worst to Best

New DVD release
Who has a better rogues gallery than Batman? Sure, the X-Men have some greats in Magneto, Stryker, and Mr. Sinister. And Spider-Man’s got the Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and Mysterio. But none of these baddies can touch the denizens of Arkham Asylum for their variety and malleability. Even if film adaptations keep going back to the same few characters, the psychologically twisted enemies offer room for multiple interpretations, allowing actors to find something different to each version.  But as great as they are, some Batman villains are better than others, allowing for a clear ranking of all the Bat-Baddies.  First,…

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ Best Easter Egg May Remind You of a Much Weirder Time

New DVD release
Despite its cast of modern stars, including Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez, the movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves throws back to the game’s heyday in the 1980s. In addition to cameo appearances by a gelatinous cube and the green-flame blade, Pine’s bard Edgin Darvis and Rodriguez’s barbarian Holga Kilgore pass by a notable sextet. Viewers of a certain age might recognize the six fellow adventurers as Hank the ranger, Eric the cavalier, Diana the acrobat, Presto the magician, Sheila the thief, and Bobby the barbarian. Fans first met these six heroes in 1983, when the cartoon show Dungeons…

The Best Mystery Science Theater 3000 Movies to Watch Without the Bots

New DVD release
We all know Mystery Science Theater 3000 as the show in which a human host and a couple of robots make fun of bad movies. According to in-universe lore, the movies come via mad scientist members of the Forrester family, who test the sanity of a human subject by forcing them to watch terrible films. The humans — beginning with Joel Robinson (series creator Joel Hodgson), followed by Mike Nelson (Michael J. Nelson), Jonah Heston (Jonah Ray), and Emily Connor (Emily Marsh) — fight back by riffing on the films, a task made easier not just by the robot sidekicks Crow T. Robot and Tom…

The Best Exorcism Movies Ever Made

New DVD release
Few horror sub-genres are as divisive as exorcism movies. For some, they are silly to the point of high camp, outrageous stories about invisible creatures that can take control of normal people and make them do outrageous things. For others, exorcism movies reveal a hidden realm of evil that has a very real impact on our world.  That tension allows a wide variety of approaches within the sub-genre, despite the dominance of one monumental film from the 70s. Exorcism movies can be ridiculous crowd-pleasers, stately dramas, or lowbrow comedies. Whether it’s because of the power of Christ or a really…

Blue Beetle Just Brought One of DC’s Weirdest Characters to the Big Screen

New DVD release
This post contains spoilers for Blue Beetle. Even ten years ago, few would have guessed that the Blue Beetle would be in a movie, let alone the star of one. Both the current Blue Beetle Jamie Reyes and his predecessor Ted Kord have been fan favorites since the 80s, when the latter became a member of Justice League International. But Blue Beetle is hardly the only DC Comics deep cut in the film. Throughout the movie, the villainous Victoria Kord (Susan Sarandon) touts her company’s newest invention, a battle suit termed OMAC, which stands for One Man Army Corps. Created…

What Marvel Can Learn from the Worst Superhero Movies

New DVD release
Whether it’s superhero fatigue or something else, there’s no denying that the MCU and the DC Universe are falling on hard times. Secret Invasion set record lows for Marvel, as did the reviews for Ant-Man the Wasp: Quantumania, and The Flash stumbled to become the lowest money maker in Warner Bros. history.  But let’s get a little perspective, shall we? These movies aren’t great, but superhero movies are, on the whole, better than what came before the MCU launched in 2008. Throughout the 80s and 90s, superhero movies were almost embarrassed to be about superheroes, forcing Batman into a lame…
