Quentin Tarantino Talks About the Luke Cage Movie He Almost Made

New DVD release, , , , ,
Once upon a time in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino toyed with bringing Marvel Comics superhero Luke Cage to the screen. This was admittedly early in his career—after he’d directed Reservoir Dogs to critical and commercial acclaim but before he’d even shot the ‘90s-defining Pulp Fiction—and well before our current Marvel Studios glut. Nevertheless, he still gets nostalgic about the project. For instance, while it’s been known he considered Laurence Fishburne to play the unbreakable man, he just revealed that he also thought about Wesley Snipes in the role. This and more came up during Tarantino’s fascinating conversation on Amy Schumer’s podcast,…

Bad Education is an upcoming movie that has headliner Hugh Jackman showcasing his range with yet another comedic and intriguingly uncharacteristic performance. However, said film won’t be seen at a theater near you – it’s heading to HBO! The film, despite its tongue-in-cheek presentation, is actually a fact-based affair. Jackman stars as Frank Tassone, a school superintendent who, upon discovery of his malfeasance in 2002, plunged his Long Island district in a notorious embezzlement scandal.   Cory Finley directed the film, coming off his 2017 feature debut, the crime thriller, Thoroughbreds.

Complete Pixar Movie Disney Plus UK Streaming Guide

New DVD release, , , , ,
When Disney+ launched in the US last November, it was still shaking off the remnants of its former Netflix deal. Lingering ties to the streaming competitor meant that a few completist-irking gaps were left in the US Disney+ Pixar catalogue. At launch, Coco, Up and Incredibles 2 weren’t available to American subscribers. Not so for the UK. When Disney+ arrives on March 24th, it’s getting the full complement of Pixar. Films, shorts, you name it. That catalogue is fuller than Emile the Rat in a binful of tainted Camembert. Don’t miss out on this Disney+ PRE-ORDER DEAL, on us! So if you’re…

What Does VOD Mean for Movie Theaters?

New DVD release,
A Greek philosopher once said there is nothing permanent except change. It’s a timely thought during this moment of uncertainty. Even in the limited purview of the entertainment industry and cinema, what we took for granted only three weeks ago about moviegoing, and the wall between theatrical and VOD release, is coming down. It began with Eon Productions and MGM moving No Time to Die from its April launch to late November in light of the growing coronavirus crisis. They were the first to move, but they wouldn’t be the last. Almost all studios have now pushed their major releases…

Star Wars: What The Rise of Skywalker Book Adds to the Movie

This Star Wars article contains spoilers. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was polarizing, to say the least, and fans have pored and debated over its plot twists and script for the past few months.

How The Hunt Became the Most Controversial Movie of the Year

New DVD release, ,
It was last August when a movie called The Hunt, scheduled to be released by Universal Pictures in the usually arid moviegoing month of September, became a national news story. Word got around that the film, written by Damon Lindelof (Watchmen) and Nick Cuse (The Leftovers), was a liberal screed about a bunch of political lefties hunting and killing right-wingers in a variation on the old The Most Dangerous Game narrative. The outrage machine then went into overdrive. With recent mass shootings in three states—California, Ohio, and Texas—still fresh, the current occupant of the White House and his allies jumped…

Justice League Dark: Apocalypse War – Trailer and Release Date for DC Animated Movie

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Since the title was announced for Justice League Dark: Apokalips War, the biggest question in some fans’ minds was “hang on, who now?” Justice League Dark, the team of magical heroes that includes Constantine, Zatanna, Swamp Thing and a rotating cast of lesser-known mystics, has always had a very specific lane and focus: the supernatural. Not typically included in that mystical lane are Darkseid, Desaad, Apokalips, or the rest of the Fourth World heroes or villains. But the new trailer for the upcoming DC Animated feature sheds some new light on that puzzling “why:” because they’re all that’s left. Here’s…

My Hero Academia The Movie – Heroes: Rising Review

New DVD release, , , ,
My Hero Academia has only been around for a few years, but it’s already gained mass acclaim and become one of the most popular anime series in years. The series consistently pushes its characters to challenging new places, but it can be difficult for supplemental feature films to capture the same level of importance and feel like they’re not stuck inside of some non-canonical bubble. My Hero Academia’s first film, Two Heroes, was considered a success by fans, but the series is now in a more complex place where its endgame is increasingly on its mind. Thankfully, My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising isn’t just an…
