Cinderella Review: Amazon’s Adaptation Isn’t Afraid to Be Absurd

New DVD release, , , , ,
Camila Cabello’s Cinderella is the most ridiculous movie of 2021, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Entering this movie, with its cast of triple (or at least double) threats, it can be easy to let assumptions get the best of you. Cabello is an extremely talented singer, so you can assume there’s going to be some tunes. Billy Porter is fabulous, so you can assume he will continue to be so as this adaptation’s incarnation of the fairy godparent. Idina Menzel, who plays the tale’s stepmother, is a goddess amongst us all, so you can assume she will continue…

How Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ Inclusiveness Could Conquer the World

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Looking at Destin Daniel Cretton’s filmography, he would appear to be an unlikely candidate to helm a Marvel film, especially one as pivotal as the first fresh installment of MCU Phase 4. Cretton has directed five feature films previously, all of which are real-life dramas, three being based on books, with two of those being memoirs. These seem a far cry from comics, but Cretton has a deep Marvel connection – Captain Marvel no less. Cretton’s second film, Short Term 12, was the first leading role for Carol Danvers herself – Brie Larson.  His following films, The Glass Castle and Just…

The Twitch streamer exodus continues. Just days after pro gamer and streamer DrLupo signed an exclusivity deal with YouTube Gaming, another big name on Twitch has followed suit: Timothy John Betar, better known as TimTheTatman, will stream exclusively on YouTube starting today. “I know it’s going to be a change and there are people that don’t like change,” Betar told Business Insider after the move was announced. “[But] sometimes change ends up being a better thing.” Betar explained that the deal would allow him to be more flexible with his streaming content, saying that joining YouTube would allow him to spend…

Shang Chi: Where to Watch and Disney+ Release Date Details

New DVD release, , , , ,
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe feature, is out today, but because of the shifting grounds on which we all live, not all MCU fans are clear on where and how to watch the martial arts superhero flick. While MCU’s previous feature film, Black Widow, got a dual release in both theaters and via Disney+ Premier Access, Disney is forgoing that strategy (which really backfired) with Shang-Chi, and instead following a traditional theatrical-only release for the superhero film starring Simu Liu, Awkwafina, and Tony Leung. Here’s everything you need to know… Where to…

Suranne Jones’ Best Roles From New Drama Vigil to Doctor Who, Gentleman Jack & More

New DVD release, , , , , ,
We’ve seen her sew knickers, spew out Artron Energy, run a coal mine, solve and commit murders, and now thanks to BBC One thriller Vigil, we’re seeing her gumshoe her way around a nuclear submarine sniffing out a naval conspiracy. There’s very little Suranne Jones can’t do. To celebrate the breadth of her on-screen work, here’s a selection of Jones’ finest performances so far. Karen Macdonald in Coronation Street The Street’s where it all started for Jones, playing the mouthy, ambitious Karen McDonald (née Philips) to audiences of almost 20 million four nights a week.

Wheel of Time Trailer Celebrates the Women Who ‘Protect the World’

New DVD release, , , , ,
”The power inside you: all over the world there are different names for it. But it’s one thing, One Power, and women who can touch it — we protect the world.” So says Rosamund Pike’s character, Moiraine Damodred, in the first Wheel of Time trailer released by Amazon. Even for those who have never read the Robert Jordan novels upon which the series is based, it’s clear that the powerful women featured in this preview are the ones to be reckoned with.

Why Marvel’s Midnight Suns Gameplay Has Fans Worried

New DVD release, , ,
Marvel’s Midnight Suns arguably stole the show during last week’s Gamescom Opening Night ceremony, but the reveal of the upcoming strategy title’s gameplay has already caused a bit of a divide in what recently seemed to be a pretty enthusiastic fanbase. If you’re watching that gameplay reveal for the first time, you may be wondering what the big deal is. After all, most people assumed that Midnight Suns was going to be a strategy game set in the Marvel universe, and that’s pretty much what it seems to be. However, much of the controversy surrounding Midnight Suns‘ gameplay at the…

Ranking Cinderella Adaptations

New DVD release, ,
A dream is a wish your heart makes, and if your wish is to see countless takes on the beloved fairy tale of Cinderella, then consider your dreams having come true many times over—including this year, with a new Cinderella by way of Amazon Studios. This latest adaptation seems to have combined qualities of many of its predecessors: it’s playfully anachronistic and eschews the traditional Disney or Rodgers & Hammerstein songs in favor of a tracklist of modern pop covers; it also engages with Cinderella’s career aspirations beyond fitting her foot into a glass slipper. But this Cinderella owes everything…

American Horror Story: Double Feature Tackles Pill-Popping, Blood-Sucking Addiction

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This American Horror Story: Double Feature review contains spoilers. American Horror Story Season 10 Episode 3 One of my favorite things about American Horror Story has been the fact that if something isn’t particularly working for me, be it a character or a setting, I know that in a few episodes, it’ll be gone. Such is the nature of the seasonal anthology; if something isn’t working for you, check out for ten episodes and when you come back next season, it’ll be something completely different in tone, setting, and content, even if there’ll be members of the cast crossing over…

Marvel’s What If…? Episode 4 Ending Explored: The Ramifications of Doctor Strange’s Choice

New DVD release, , , , , ,
With the last couple episodes of Marvel’s What If…?, I was able to speculate on the tangent realities. What would a reformed Thanos mean for Earth? Where do the loyalties lie in the war against Loki’s rule over Midgard? The show asks, “What if?” and I asked, “What’s next?” Well…episode 4 makes that a little difficult. There is no world to expand upon. There is no future. Dr. Strange, driven by an obsession to save Christine Palmer’s life, goes way overboard and abuses time travel and magic to the point that reality collapses upon itself and all that remains is…

Star Trek Doctors, Ranked By Crankiness

New DVD release, ,
This Star Trek: Lower Decks article contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 3. In the very first filmed episode of Star Trek: The Original Series — “The Cage” — Captain Pike drinks itty-bitty martinis with the Enterprise’s chief physician, Dr. Boyce (John Hoyt.) And although it remains to be seen if we’ll be seeing Boyce in Stranger New Worlds, the tradition of the cranky — but wise — Starfleet doctor was started right there. After Boyce and Piper, Star Trek set the standard for cranky, wise-cracking doctors in space with the introduction of Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy; as played by…

Why Eevee Is the Most Realistic Pokémon Ever

New DVD release, ,
Pokémon is renowned for its eclectic superpowered creatures that gamers of all ages can collect, train, battle, and trade. While Pokémon such as Girafarig are clearly inspired by real-world animals, they all have fantastic powers that obviously don’t exist in real life (unless giraffes have psychic powers they never told us about). When it comes to realistic Pokémon, though, Eevee has long stood alone. Eevee’s is a 15-pound, foot-tall creature with brown fur, long ears, a flat face, a fluffy tail, and no readily apparent fantasy traits that allude to elemental affinities. Essentially, Eevee’s design combines the features of dogs,…

Enter BTS In the Soop, a delightful reality show that saw the seven members take a break from their regular work schedule to pursue hobbies at a lake-side cabin. If you’ve never watched any of BTS’ many web series and are curious about the biggest band in the world, In the Soop…

Clerks 3 Will Recreate Famous Jay & Silent Bob Scene from the Original

New DVD release, , , , ,
The original Clerks was, arguably, geek culture’s first major shot across the mainstream bow upon its Oct. 1994 release. Having rode Cannes Film Festival buzz from earlier that year, the print-media-proliferated story of a regular dude from New Jersey selling his precious comic book collection to help fund his $27,575 indie passion project stoked a cultural curiosity that money couldn’t buy. Of course, said curiosity yielded the breakthrough of a lifetime for the dude in question, Kevin Smith. Now, some 27 years and several shared-universe films later, the filmmaker and recent Masters of the Universe visionary reveals that Clerks III…
