Here’s what little you need to know about it so far… “It’s been three years since Dragon Ball Super: Broly hit, kicked, and kamehameha-ed its way into theaters, raking in $120 million around the world.

Mark Wahlberg Movie Infinite Signals That Paramount Plus Will Evolve Beyond Star Trek

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Paramount+, once known as CBS All Access, has mainly defined itself with an overwhelming wave of Star Trek television content. However, surrounded by high-end competition from Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, the rebranded streamer is looking to live long and prosper beyond the space-faring franchise, having announced grandiose plans to expand its movie content. Most notably, sci-fi film Infinite, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Mark Wahlberg, will be the service’s first theater-skipping feature offering; a surefire sign of things to come. Obviously, the boat of box-office-bypassing movies already left its proverbial dock some time ago; a…

Tenet Is Christopher Nolan’s Unofficial James Bond Movie

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Tenet spoilers. Throughout the Daniel Craig era of James Bond, the influence of Christopher Nolan has been hard to miss. A year after Nolan reinvented Dark Knight mythology with Batman Begins, and created the industry term of a “reboot” in the process, 007 had his own back-to-basics reset in Casino Royale. And following The Dark Knight’s praise for reconfiguring its iconography again for a post-War on Terror world, Skyfall would receive similar acclaim a few years later for its chilly, realpolitik tone. But no matter how many developments in the Bond canon end up attributed to Nolan’s…

Kirsten Dunst is an actress with over 30 years of work in the industry. Let’s look at her 10 best movie roles. “Every so often, a tweet lauding Kirsten Dunst’s illustrious career will go viral, because it’s true: With a resume full of seminal roles over the past 30-plus years, Dunst is a bona fide icon. Right from her start as a child actress in the ’90s, with scene-stealing early performances in Interview With the Vampire, Little Women, and, yes, Jumanji, she’s had a knack for mixing vulnerability and hilarity onscreen.” Read more at Thrillist.

Did Marvel Studios Just Tease Fantastic Four Movie Release Date?

New DVD release, , , , ,
With movie theaters reopening, increasing numbers of vaccines going into people’s arms, and numbers continuing to trend in the right direction, Marvel Studios wants you to remember the cinematic experience is important to them. Not only that, they want to remind you about how good it felt to cheer along with the climactic “Avengers assemble!” moment in Avengers: Endgame, and they’re promising that there’s more good times to come. To that end, they’ve released a sizzle reel with highlights from recent years, and teases of what’s next on their theatrical agenda, from Black Widow this July to Guardians of the…

How the Star Wars Movie and TV Shared Universe Is Finally Taking Shape

New DVD release, , , , ,
The future is bright for the Star Wars universe. Free from the Skywalker Saga films, the franchise can now forge a new path, with characters, storylines, and settings that don’t have to tie into Luke and his family drama. In fact, Disney seems to have already planted the seeds for a new type of Star Wars storytelling experience: era-specific shared universes on Disney+ that emulate the interconnectedness of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but inside smaller, more self-contained bubbles. We saw this start to happen in The Mandalorian season 2, which not only introduced beloved animated characters Ahsoka Tano and Bo-Katan…

How Luca Became the First Pixar Movie Made at Home

New DVD release, , ,
Luca is the name of the next animated feature film from Disney’s Pixar Animation Studios, directed and conceived by animator and artist Enrico Casarosa. Working at Pixar since 2002 as a story artist in films like Cars, Up, Coco, and Ratatouille, Casarosa directed the 2012 short La Luna before making his feature directorial debut this year with Luca—an original fantasy based partially on Casarosa’s boyhood in Genoa, Italy. Telling the tale of two teenage sea monsters named Luca and Alberto (voiced respectively by Jacob Tremblay from Good Boys and Room, and Jack Dylan Grazer of It and Shazam! fame) who…

Mortal Kombat: Biggest Changes the Movie Makes to the Games

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for Mortal Kombat. The Mortal Kombat movie may be one of the first true blockbusters of 2021, but for millions of fans of the games, it’s also another chance to “get it right.” Sure, 1995’s is a somewhat underrated live-action adaptation of a video game, but its irredeemable sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, left many fans doubting that we’d ever see another big-budget live-action Mortal Kombat movie much less one that comes close to capturing what makes the games special. You can read our review of the film itself for a better look at how close the new…

Mortal Kombat Review: Video Game Movie Redefines Classic ‘90s Series

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Warner Bros. and director Simon McQuoid pull off a daring, high-wire balancing act (above a pit of spikes, no less) with their big screen take on Mortal Kombat. That is to say, it’s incredibly difficult to make a good, entertaining movie that stands on its own while at the same time remains faithful to source material with a rich, extensive history and passionate fanbase. Plus, it’s a video game movie. Yet 2021’s Mortal Kombat is both a loving homage to the blood-soaked arcade classics that started it all and a savage, devilishly fun martial arts flick. The film is actually…

Sky One Sci-Fi Intergalactic: ‘It’s a Road Movie Through Space’

New DVD release, , ,
The time is February 2020. The place? Manchester’s Space Studios, on the extraordinary set of Intergalactic, Sky’s new sci-fi drama series. From an immersive set, cramped within the bowels of a prison ship, to concept art of stunning sci-fi landscapes, there’s nothing to remind us of a mundane present that will, only a month later, come to seem like something of a lost utopia. Well, almost nothing. The screensaver on one of the ship’s computers bears the logo of Her Majesty’s Government. Is time travel involved, then? Nope. It’s a relic from previous work on Cobra, the Sky political drama…

Mortal Kombat: Why the Movie Created New Main Character Cole Young

New DVD release, , , , ,
To become a leading martial arts movie star, you must fight your way to the top. And Mortal Kombat star Lewis Tan has paid his dues. He’s a second-generation Hollywood martial artist, with his father Philip Tan being a British Taekwondo champion who’s been acting and working in stunts since the 1980s, eventually rising to be a distinguished action director in his own right. It gave Lewis an early start. He was only three when he appeared in his first film, China Cry: A True Story. He grew up in the business. His father set him on the martial path…

Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train Review – Anime Hit is a Smooth Ride

New DVD release, , , , , ,
“No matter how many precious lives the demons take…A strong will can never be taken.”  It’s become a common tradition for the most popular anime series to get theatrical adaptations. It’s not surprising then that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is the latest to make this leap considering the tremendous success of the anime and manga. These cinematic endeavors can sometimes be a mixed bag due to a tendency to function as recap compilations or entertaining sagas that ultimately become unnecessary filler in the context of the anime.  Demon Slayer’s movie, Mugen Train, chooses the best route possible here with…

Synchronic Ending Makes Sci-Fi Movie a Modern Classic

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Synchronic spoilers. “Time is the school in which we learn / Time is the fire in which we burn,” wrote poet Delmore Schwartz decades ago, and if any genre filmmakers take that couplet to heart, it’s Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. The self-contained directing/writing/producing/acting pair have made four feature films to date, each of them dealing in some way with the passage of time, the volatility of memory, and the warping of both. Their fourth feature, last year’s Synchronic—which makes its Netflix debut this week—is the duo’s most mature, fully developed, and coherent film yet, while also…

Jujutsu Kaisen: Season 2, the Prequel Movie, and Their Possible Connections

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Season 1 of Jujutsu Kaisen ended last month on a high note with a stellar, action-packed finale. Since the anime launched last year, the series has been lauded for its stupendous animation and fight sequences, but the exciting team-up between the protagonist Yuji Itadori and his classmate, hammer-wielding Nobara Kugisaki, left us hyped and hungry for more. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Release Date Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait a little while longer for another season. While MAPPA, the production studio behind the anime, has teased future episodes, a projected air date has yet to be revealed. Based on comments made…

Thunder Force: Why Jason Bateman Steals the Movie as The Crab

New DVD release, , , , ,
Most of the humor in the Melissa McCarthy–Octavia Spencer superhero comedy, Thunder Force, doesn’t really work. The film has nothing funny or interesting to say about superheroes, as concepts or movie franchises, and it relies way too heavily on messy montages that weirdly double down on comedic bits that didn’t work the first time. There are more laughs to be found in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. (Relax, I like ZSJL.) That said, Thunder Force features one thing that myself and the internet simply cannot get enough of: Jason Bateman as mid-level crime boss Jerry the Crab, a dude with crab…

Saving Private Ryan: The Real History That Inspired the WW2 Movie

New DVD release, , , ,
The events as they’re presented in Saving Private Ryan would never happen that way. This was my grandfather’s terse review of the Steven Spielberg movie back in 1998. He would know. After serving in the Pacific Theater throughout the war—being there from Pearl Harbor to Saipan, and then Okinawa—he carried a quiet lifelong interest in documentaries about the World War II American experience. And he had little time for Hollywood sentimentality. “Eight guys for one man during D-Day? Never would’ve happened.” Indeed, the idea of eight men being potentially squandered during the largest seaborne invasion in history is probably a…

Voyagers Review: Horny Sci-Fi Movie Needs a Time-Out

New DVD release, , , ,
Writer-director Neil Burger has dipped into science fiction both for adults and the YA audience a couple of times throughout his career. First with his 2011 film Limitless, in which Bradley Cooper becomes a mental powerhouse thanks to a mysterious drug; in 2014, he helmed Divergent, one of the last gasps of the dystopian young adult subgenre; and with the new film Voyagers —which features the filmmaker’s first original screenplay since 2008’s The Lucky Ones—Burger plunges full-on into sci-fi with a space-based thriller that takes some familiar material, and… doesn’t do much with it. There are two familiar—perhaps overly familiar—plot…

Godzilla vs. Kong Box Office Fires Up Attendance in Movie Theaters with $48.5 Million

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Last September, Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan gambled that global audiences were ready to return to movie theaters in force with the cerebral blockbuster Tenet. But it’s anemic $20 million opening in North America (over two weekends in many markets) scared away Hollywood distributors for the rest of 2020. In fact, WB eventually pushed its entire 2021 film slate onto a “hybrid” model of simultaneous theatrical and HBO Max releases. In retrospect, perhaps we were all just… waiting for Godzilla? That’s one takeaway from the rousing theatrical debut of Godzilla vs. Kong, which despite being simultaneously available to watch in…
