G.I. Joe Lady Jaye Series to Expand Hasbro Universe on Amazon

New DVD release, , , ,
G.I. Joe has been enduring a period of relative mainstream dormancy since the release of 2013 movie G.I. Joe: Retaliation. However, Hasbro’s popular toy property—specifically, the Cobra-combating “A Real American Hero” iteration launched in the early 1980s—has serious comeback plans that have just expanded, thanks to a live-action television series set for Amazon. The classic character on which it will focus is the franchise’s other main female character, Lady Jaye. While the pandemic derailed the intended 2020 release of reboot prequel Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, which is scheduled to hit theaters this October, that film now stands to be…

Invincible Trailer Reveals Amazon Has The Market Cornered on Superhero Violence

New DVD release, , , , , ,
An important aspect of any comic adaptation endeavor, and one often left unexplored by the PG-13 and TV-14 variants, is the physics of super-powered individuals. It’s nice to know that there are superheroes out there who can save the world by throwing a punch. But sometimes TV series and movies like to spare us the absolute bloody carnage that can occur on the other end of those punches. Amazon Prime’s Garth Ennis adaptation The Boys, however, is all too happy to show us the real consequences of superpowers. The show is positively filled with exploding heads, torn-out spinal columns, and…

Why Google Stadia and Amazon Games Seem Doomed to Fail

New DVD release, , , ,
Recent news that Google has decided to shut down its internal game development studios comes on the heels of a report by Bloomberg that suggests Amazon’s own game division is burdened by issues that it could prove to be insurmountable. On the one hand, you want to be surprised by these revelations. There’s certainly a degree of surprise that comes naturally when you hear that two of the largest companies in the world have seemingly botched their entries into the video game industry so soon after they started. There was this idea that both companies would stay in the game…

New on Amazon Prime Video UK February 2021

New DVD release, , ,
If your UK lockdown viewing is starting to feel a bit barrel-scrapey (there are only so many times one can rewatch The Office: An American Workplace without turning into a Dwight Shrute bobblehead) then Amazon has some potentially tasty options for the coming month. US sci-fi Soulmates starring Succession‘s Sarah Snook (pictured) arrived on AMC last year and makes its UK debut on the 8th, while Rosamund Pike-starring con-artist thriller I Care a Lot, also starring Game of Thrones’ Peter Dinklage, has been picking up some great reviews. Here’s that, plus new weekly episodes of American Gods, The Expanse, The…

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: February 2021

New DVD release, , , ,
It still might be a little while before we’re able to go back to the movies again. Thankfully, with its list of new releases for February 2021, Amazon Prime is bringing the theater home. The movies are the real appeal this month. Amazon’s offerings are highlighted by two original films of note. The first is Bliss, which premieres on Feb. 5. This will star Owen Wilson and Salma Hayek as a couple experiencing some intimacy issues. Presumably this is all just a tune up for when Wilson dons a mustache in Disney+’s Loki later in May. The other film is…

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: December 2020

New DVD release, , , ,
As a most unusual holiday season begins, it’s going to be harder for streaming services to demand our attention. With its new releases for December 2020, Amazon Prime is trying its best anyway. This is actually an uncommonly jam-packed and intriguing roster of content for Bezos’s outfit. The list this month is highlighted by the release of The Expanse season 5 on Dec. 16.

Lord of the Rings Amazon TV Series: Cast, Release Date and Everything to Know

New DVD release, , , ,
Amazon’s purportedly billion-dollar-budgeted Lord of the Rings TV series will take place LONG before the events of Peter Jackson’s movies. Setting the tone for this small screen return to the world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, the first two episodes will be directed by J.A. Bayona, who helmed Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The Lord of the Rings TV series is set during Middle Earth’s Second Age—that’s thousands of years before Bilbo Baggins, Gollum or Aragorn ever existed! Moreover, the end of said age was a full millennium before the Wizards (Gandalf, Saruman, et al.)…

The Expanse Season 6 Confirmed by Amazon, Set as Final Season

New DVD release, , , ,
The Expanse has officially set course toward a bittersweet threshold crossed by many-a-beloved shows: an advance renewal for its final season. Indeed, as the beloved and beleaguered sci-fi series prepares to premiere its fifth season in December, Amazon Studios has announced the renewal for a sixth and final season for The Expanse, as Deadline reports. Interestingly, while showrunner Naren Shankar and most of the main cast are expected to return for Season 6—notwithstanding plot developments in the upcoming Season 5—the sixth frame will bear a notable absence with the reported ousting of cast member Cas Anvar, who, having played Alex…

Link Tank: Watch 1995’s Ghost in the Shell on Amazon Prime

New DVD release, , , ,
The 1995 Ghost in the Shell anime movie is on Amazon Prime. Here’s why you should watch it today. “If your next viewing of Ghost in the Shell is your first, it likely will not be your last. The 1995 anime movie, based on the manga series of the same name, is confusing and doesn’t offer first-time viewers the easiest of landings into a complex universe.” Read more at Inverse.

New World: Hands-on Preview of the Amazon MMO’s Reekwater Region

New DVD release, , , , ,
Back in August, Amazon Games invited Den of Geek to play its forthcoming game New World, an MMO set in a fantastical version of Earth inspired by the Age of Exploration, where magic and gunpowder coexist and adventurers duke it out on the mysterious island of Aeternum to take control of different territories in 50v50 battles. I participated in one of these battles in my first preview and was generally impressed with the tighter-than-average MMO combat and gigantic sense of scale. Earlier this week, I got another chance to go hands-on with an alpha version of the game, and this…

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: November 2020

New DVD release, , , ,
November can be a slow month for streaming services. Amazon, however, is entering into 2020’s penultimate month with some steam. Amazon is really beefing up its TV library in November 2020. Both Community (which arrives on Nov. 8) and Scrubs (Nov. 14) will be added to Amazon Prime this month and in the process complete the streaming trifecta: Netflix, Amazon, Hulu. That’s pretty impressive stuff for both shows. And then on the film side of things, November 1 sees the arrival of The X-Files: I Want to Believe, Twilight, and the Underworld franchise. Somebody didn’t tell Amazon Spooky Season was…

New on Amazon Prime Video UK November 2020

New DVD release, , ,
December’s really what we’re hanging on for, Amazon Prime Video-wise. That’s when the new 10-episode season of The Expanse lands. November though, does have a couple of likely streaming candidates in the form of dark comedy Wayne, which, with its teen-road-trip and nihilist violence vibe, sounds like just the thing for a fan of Channel 4’s excellent The End of the F***ing World. There’s also the fifth and final season of Syfy’s The Magicians, plus new Alan Ball film Uncle Frank, starring Paul Bettany, which had a warm reception at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. As the sneak-release of Borat…
