Spenser Confidential Review

New DVD release, ,
There’s nothing confidential about the fact that for every movie as quality as The Irishman that Netflix releases, they drop about five as mediocre as Spenser Confidential. Based on the series of novels by Robert B. Parker, later adapted as a television show starring Robert Urich, Spenser Confidential is the kind of movie that you’d be livid spending money to see at the cinema, but you’ll shrug off and forget about five minutes after streaming it. Even Mark Wahlberg, who stars as the titular Spenser, seems bored with the film. Set in Boston (because where else would a Mark Wahlberg…

Beauty and the Beast Disney+ Prequel Series Set with Luke Evans and Josh Gad

New DVD release, , , , ,
Disney+ has already proven itself as an industry-altering streaming distribution pipeline for the monolithic Mouse House’s myriad properties, and it appears that 2017’s live-action $1.2 billion worldwide-grossing hit, Beauty and the Beast, is set to be the next example of this notion, proving that shows can be mined from the most unlikely of places. Luke Evans and Josh Gad are locked in to reprise their roles – as Gaston and LeFou, respectively – in an untitled live-action limited-run prequel television series that’s set for a Disney+ streaming run, as THR reports. The series, set at ABC Signature Studios, will manifest…

Disney+ UK Content List Confirmed

New DVD release, ,
Hello! It’s been a while since we found out that Disney+ UK’s launch would be running around five months behind its debut in the US and we’ve certainly had a grumble about it, as we’re fond of doing here on days with ‘y’s’ in them, but the streaming service is finally coming to this green and, er, pleasant land later this month. Looking ahead to what we can expect to find on the platform, we’ve grabbed an official list of movies, TV series and specials streaming on Disney+ UK at launch, and hopefully you’ll find something that excites you on…

Antebellum: New Trailer Arrives

New DVD release, ,
You’ve seen this tale before: a man or woman is accidentally transported through time and has a grand adventure in the past that solves all their problems. It’s a yarn at least as old as Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court and persists still on Outlander with every new season. Yet these protagonists tend to share a common trait: they can fit into the past. But what if they couldn’t? Or worse still, what if they could, but only in a specific, horrifying role? Antebellum seems to be going there as past and future merge—and that past…

Greyhound: Trailer Arrives for Tom Hanks World War II Movie

New DVD release, , , , ,
Greyhound will see Tom Hanks return to the backdrop of World War II; an arena in which he has excelled, both onscreen in 1998’s Saving Private Ryan and offscreen as executive producer of HBO miniseries offerings Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Here, Hanks serves as star, writer, and producer for the Sony film, tackling a different aspect of the war, the seas, with a story centered on an international convoy of Allied ships, racing across North Atlantic seas filled with Nazi U-boats. Greyhound is an adaptation of the novel, The Good Shepherd, by C.S. Forester. It’s a World War…

Is There a Hidden Meaning in The Invisible Man Ending?

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains major The Invisible Man spoilers. The Invisible Man is an excellent horror film packed with shocks and scares and with a fun ending which contains several twists. But it’s possible director Leigh Whannell might have intended to pull the rug out from under the viewer one last time, offering the opportunity for a very different alternative reading of what actually happens to Cecilia. In the ending we see onscreen, Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) escapes the institution she’s locked in, is cleared of killing her sister and is able to exact a fitting revenge on her abusive husband Adrian…

How the Stars of Onward Became Brothers Onscreen

New DVD release, , , ,
In Pixar’s Onward, stars Chris Pratt and Tom Holland ditch their Star-Lord and Spider-Man costumes (the two were last seen together battling Thanos in the Avengers movies) for a recording booth. The two actors voice Ian (Holland) and Barley (Pratt) Lightfoot, two elven brothers who embark on a quest to find a magical artifact that will bring their late father back to them for one day—an artifact that only Ian can wield in a world where magic has faded. Just like Onward director and co-writer Dan Scanlon drew on personal experience for the basis of the story (his own dad…

First Cow Review

New DVD release,
There are few better metaphors for American capitalism than the faintly satirical (and deeply bittersweet) conflict at the heart of Kelly Reichardt’s First Cow. Ostensibly a story about friendship between Cookie (John Magaro) and King Lu (Orion Lee) in early 19th century Oregon territory, the title of the film actually refers to a prized bovine living near their rudimentary fort. Not that the cow belongs to the cook or the Chinese immigrant. Rather it’s the property of a gilded moneyman (Toby Jones). With affected airs of decidedly non-American origin, Jones oozes entitlement as he devours a cake made by Cookie…

Hocus Pocus 2 Finds Director

New DVD release, , ,
Double double toil and trouble. We already knew Disney was developing a sequel to the much-beloved classic Hocus Pocus, but now a director has been attached to the project, which is the next step in bringing the story to the big screen. The original 1993 film was directed by Kenny Ortega (he of High School Musical fame) from a script by Neil Cuthbert and Mick Garris. The sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter, has Adam Shankman attached to direct. Shankman has previously directed films like Hairspray and A Walk to Remember. He is also attached to produce Disney’s Enchanted sequel,…

New Batmobile Revealed for The Batman Movie

New DVD release, , ,
As Jim Gordon famously declared in Batman Begins upon seeing a certain customized car abruptly emerge, “I’ve gotta get me one of those.” The brand-new Batmobile has been revealed in all its horse-powered glory! In the latest tease from The Batman director Matt Reeves, a prominent first glimpse has arrived showcasing his upcoming movie’s take on what is, perhaps, the most iconic car in pop culture history. What’s immediately clear is that this is a conceptual reinvention of the vehicle, seemingly rooted in the theme of the film’s setting during the early era of the Caped Crusader, who will be…

Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man Shows Life After Dark Universe Death

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Over the last weekend, an eerie thing happened at the box office: Leigh Whannell and Blumhouse Productions’ The Invisible Man brought the Universal Monsters legacy back with a vengeance. Over-performing with a monstrous box office bow of $29 million in the U.S. alone, the horror reimagining of the H.G. Wells novel (and James Whale’s 1933 film) more than quadrupled its $7 million budget in only three days. This is of course good news about a good horror movie, one of the best in a while with its panic attack-inducing allegory about a woman being gaslighted by an abusive ex. But…

New DVD release, , , ,
As it turns out, April really was no time to die at all since the 25th James Bond movie, No Time to Die, has moved off its April release date in favor for a November debut.

Ben Affleck Remembers Disappointing Buffy the Vampire Slayer Performance

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Do you remember Ben Affleck in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie? Of course you do! Hard to let such an unforgettable performance fade from the mind, but incredibly, though Affleck’s “Uncredited Basketball Player #10” was surely a key piece of the Buffy puzzle back in 1992, his character is generally more commonly referred to as “hey, was that …was that Ben Affleck?” Hard to believe. Powerful, and underrated. In a new interview with The Jess Cagle Show on SiriusXM, Affleck certainly hadn’t blocked out his early Buffy the Vampire Slayer experience, as the actor explained how the movie, which…

The Way Back Review

New DVD release
Ben Affleck has been such a major figure in tabloid culture for years now that a) the lines between his real life and his cinematic one have gradually gotten fuzzier and b) the ongoing turmoil in his personal life has made it easy to forget that with the right role, he can still be an extraordinary actor. In The Way Back, those two aspects of this talented man’s life intersect in a way that turns what could merely be a rote weepie into something much more affecting, anchored by Affleck’s powerful, raw performance. Affleck plays Jack Cunningham, a one-time high…

The Craft Reboot Was “One of the Best Pitches I’ve Ever Heard”

New DVD release, , ,
Remember back in 2010-ish when basically ever horror movie you loved from when you were young had been remade, but only worse? Yeah, we’re not in that place anymore. The wounds will heal.  Jason Blum, horror producer extraordinaire and head of Blumhouse Productions, the outfit responsible for Paranormal Activity, Sinister, The Purge, Get Out, the recently released The Invisible Man, and 2018’s Halloween reboot is remaking 1996’s much loved teen witch movie The Craft and he’s confident it’s going to be a whole lot of fun. Blum tells Den of Geek it was the pitch from director Zoe Lister-Jones that…

How Jason Blum Changed Horror Movies

New DVD release, , ,
“I look at myself more as an entrepreneur than a producer,” Jason Blum tells Den of Geek ahead of the release of his latest buzzy horror movie. That film, The Invisible Man has already scooped an impressive $29 million opening weekend off a budget of $7 million as well as widespread critical success (check out our four star review, the movie is currently at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes).  It’s hard to deny that as an entrepreneur, Blum is a bloody good one. It’s been 20 years (“depending on where you start,” Blum clarifies) since his company Blumhouse Productions arrived to…

Chris Evans Recalls “Begging” for Knives Out Role

New DVD release, , , ,
Chris Evans so fully inhabited the role of Captain America during the near-decade he helped prop up the Marvel Cinematic Universe juggernaut that he ended up spending his downtime fighting bad guys online, too. The unequivocal cinnamon roll emerged from the relentless process of blockbuster junkets, red carpet grillings, tabloid rumblings and angry 3am tweets both uncancelled and mostly unscathed, unlike some of his co-stars, but after finally passing on Steve Rogers’ shield and leaving the MCU behind, who would immediately cast him against type as the kind of villainous rich prong who uses “SJW” as an insult? Well, Rian…
