The Best Movies of 2020

New DVD release
Thank goodness that’s over, right? To say 2020 was a challenging year is like announcing the Hindenburg had a rough landing. In a period that’s transformed how billions live their lives, there isn’t one person, family, business, or industry that wasn’t impacted significantly by upheaval. And that includes going to the movies. Just 12 months ago, moviegoers were turning out by the millions to see their favorite space adventures in theaters. Now they’re watching them, and everything else, on streaming. It’s an astonishing journey we’ve detailed further here, but even if our relationship to how we experience films is changing,…

2020: The Year That Changed How We Watch Movies

Netflix, New DVD release, ,
Under normal circumstances, it’s easy to get lost in the grind of daily living, missing the forest for the trees. Under normal circumstances, one can be too busy to notice that history is occurring all around them. 2020 was not a normal year. After nearly 12 months of pandemic and shutdown, social unrest and political upheaval, we are only beginning to understand the ramifications from the year that was. There hasn’t been one facet of our culture that wasn’t dramatically altered by the effects of COVID-19 and the world it wrought. And yes, that includes movies. When the year began,…

The Best Horror Movies of 2020

New DVD release,
2020 has been a tough year for cinema with theaters forced to close and release dates delayed. It’s a rough break for filmmakers whose work was due to get a wide theatrical release and instead launched on PVOD or streaming services. And it was a double shame for horror since 2020 has been an excellent year for the genre in terms of quality, including a handful of exceptional debut films that in any other year would have been lauded in the same way as Hereditary, It Follows, or The Babadook. Den of Geek staff and contributors voted on their favorite…

How Star Wars: The Acolyte Could Explore the Sith We Never Saw in the Movies

New DVD release, , , ,
Leslye Headland’s long-rumored Star Wars series finally has a title. Revealed during Disney’s Investors Day presentation in December, The Acolyte is “a mystery-thriller that will take the audience into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.” That synopsis doesn’t give us much, but does tease a darker show than what we’re used to from Star Wars. It could be one of the most creative, too. Since it probably takes place decades before the start of the film saga, features new characters, and explores the dark side of Force,…

One of those is Jurassic World: Dominion, the sixth film overall in the Jurassic Park sequence and the third in the new trilogy that launched back in June 2015 with Jurassic World. That film’s director, Colin Trevorrow, returned for the new entry, which began filming last February, was shut down by COVID-19 for several months, and resumed…

New DVD release, , ,
We’ve warned you of the dangers of overhyping yourself for Cyberpunk 2077 ahead of the game’s December 10 release date, but I understand if it’s hard to contain your excitement for 2020’s most anticipated game.

HBO Max Release Schedule for Warner Bros. Movies

New DVD release, , ,
The future is here. Warner Bros. changed the movie industry, likely forever, when it announced this week that its entire film slate for the next 12 months will follow Wonder Woman 1984 to HBO Max. More than just a shot in the arm for the new streaming service, this obliterates the theatrical window as we know it, with every one of WB’s next 18 films opening concurrently on streaming and in theaters. This day and date “hybrid” strategy, which mixes online with theatrical distribution, has been described by WarnerMedia as a “unique one-year plan,” although many are dubious, likely including…

While December is normally packed with theatrical releases that range from buzzy awards contenders to end-of-the-year blockbusters and holiday-themed comfort films, this year is not business as usual. Sure, Oscar hopefuls abound, such as Mank, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and Nomadland, but two of those three will be on Netflix. As for the tentpole contingent, well, only Wonder Woman 1984 is still…
