A Toy Store Near You focuses on the toy collector community, a small and tight knit group, which is apparently growing, partially because of the series. “People are literally…

Cinderella Review: Amazon’s Adaptation Isn’t Afraid to Be Absurd

New DVD release, , , , ,
Camila Cabello’s Cinderella is the most ridiculous movie of 2021, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Entering this movie, with its cast of triple (or at least double) threats, it can be easy to let assumptions get the best of you. Cabello is an extremely talented singer, so you can assume there’s going to be some tunes. Billy Porter is fabulous, so you can assume he will continue to be so as this adaptation’s incarnation of the fairy godparent. Idina Menzel, who plays the tale’s stepmother, is a goddess amongst us all, so you can assume she will continue…

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: September 2021

New DVD release, , , ,
Though the summer movie season is winding down (if it ever really started this year), Amazon Prime’s list of new releases for September 2021 is chock full of worthwhile movie options. For starters, Amazon’s library movie titles are quite good this month. September 1 sees the arrivals of heavyweights such as Apollo 13, Arachnophobia, Romeo + Juliet, The Descent, and The Social Network. And if that weren’t enough, the streamer is trying out some intriguing original movies as well. Cinderella, a modern update on the classic fairy tale, premieres on September 3. That will be followed by “exotic thriller” The…

Skyfall Screenwriter Fears Amazon Could ‘Drain’ James Bond of Life

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Screenwriter and producer John Logan has been around the Hollywood block. He cut his teeth in the 1990s on projects exactly about how Tinseltown can apply pressure on creative ambition—writing the first movie about the making of Citizen Kane with RKO 281—and he reached major success with credits on Gladiator and The Aviator. Yet if you asked him today which projects meant the most, he might say it was his James Bond contributions, Skyfall and Spectre. Indeed, Logan appears to be feeling particularly concerned about 007 these days following the industry-shaking news that tech giant Amazon is purchasing MGM. Unto…

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: June 2021

New DVD release, , ,
When Bosch first premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2014, the streaming world was in a very different place. Netflix had only House of Cards and Orange is the New Black under its belt. Hulu was still a joint venture owned by multiple conglomerates. Disney+, HBO Max, and Peacock didn’t even exist. Now, in June 2021, Amazon Prime’s list of new releases is highlighted by one last outing for LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. Bosch season 7 premieres on June 25. This will be the last batch of episodes for the series, before a spinoff gets rolling for IMDb TV. For…

Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings Series is Focusing its Massive Budget on Huge World-Building

New DVD release, , , , , ,
When reports first surfaced back in early-2018 that Amazon’s untitled The Lord of the Rings television series bore a budget upwards of $1 billion, the entertainment industry and its fans did a collective double-take. Remember, this was two whole years before pandemic-era logistics—and heavy-hitting newcomers like Disney+ and HBO Max—elevated the status of streaming platforms from luxury to essential, and seemed like muscle-flexing by the retail giant to instill fear into the Netflixes and Hulus of the world. While the show’s price tag remains surreal to this day, Amazon Studios’ boss is reaffirming the wisdom of the decision. Amazon Studios…

Link Tank: Amazon’s Invincible Highlights the Violence of Superhero Conflicts

New DVD release, , , , ,
Unlike other film and TV shows in the superhero genre, Amazon’s Invincible holds nothing back in reminding us the violence of superhuman battles. “Amazon’s Invincible follows The Boys in being a dark, bloody story of superheroes in a more ‘realistic’ way. Based on the Image Comics series by Robert Kirkman, the animated series follows the coming of age of superhero Mark Grayson/Invincible, a Viltrumite and first-born son of Nolan Grayson/Omni-Man, the most powerful person on the planet.” Read more at The Mary Sue. Sony recently announced a new partnership with messaging platform Discord. Here’s what that could mean for the…

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: May 2021

New DVD release, , ,
Wait a minute. Are we somehow half way through the year already? That feels impossible but here comes month number five all the same. With its list of new releases for May 2021, Amazon Prime is highlighting some of its more intriguing original series in awhile. The first original of note is The Underground Railroad. This series from Barry Jenkins tells the story of one woman’s desperate bid for freedom in the Antebellum South and arrives on May 14. After that comes Solos.

New on Amazon Prime Video UK April 2021: Palm Springs, Sound of Metal & More!

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The past year in lockdown may make the idea of a comedy about being stuck in an endlessly repeating loop feel a little too close to home, but Palm Springs starring Andy Samburg and Cristin Milioti, which arrives on Friday the 9th of April, is fresh and funny and well worth your time. For something more serious and very well regarded, there’s Sound of Metal on Monday the 12th, starring Riz Ahmed as a heavy metal drummer losing his hearing. And if lockdown’s simply been too much fun and you need bringing back down to earth with a bleak tale…

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: April 2021

New DVD release, , , ,
And just like that – here comes spring. Amazon Prime‘s list of new releases for April 2021 isn’t as cheery as one would expect from the sunny season. But perhaps that’s by design – you should be outside anyway! Amazon’s most prominent original series for April 2021 is undoubtedly Them from multi-hyphenate Lena Waithe. This horror anthology’s first season, subtitled “Covenant”, will center on a Black family in the 1950s who move from North Carolina to a white neighborhood in Los Angeles. It premieres on April 9. Given its name and premise, Them is drawing some (largely joke-y) comparisons to…

Why Amazon Prime’s Invincible Had to Be Animated

New DVD release, , ,
Invincible comic writer Robert Kirkman has a gentlemanly agreement with Steven Yeun, who appeared in The Walking Dead for six seasons and now stars as the adapted Invincible’s titular hero.  “Steven and I have a rule that there’s no more popping his eyeballs out. I can live with that – once is enough,” Kirkman tells Den of Geek and other outlets during the series’ press day. Kirkman’s imagination is as violent as it is vast. Yeun’s character Glenn Rhee on AMC’s The Walking Dead (based on the Kirkman comic of the same name) was a notable unfortunate recipient of that…

Does the Latest Lord of the Rings Amazon Series Cast Exit Signal Trouble?

New DVD release, , , , ,
If there is a definitive reason for genre fans to maintain their Amazon Prime subscriptions (besides the free 2-day shipping), it’s the company’s long-gestating untitled Lord of the Rings television series. The New Zealand-based production successfully endured a lengthy pandemic-era hiatus to complete its pilot this past fall, and continues work on subsequent episodes. Yet, the recent exit of cast member Tom Budge seems to signal that the purportedly billion-budgeted series is facing creative difficulties. Budge (Bloom, Judy & Punch) revealed his departure from the ensemble of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings series with an Instagram announcement, which was…

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: March 2021

New DVD release, , , ,
There’s never a bad time for a new superhero show, mind you. But with Amazon’s brilliantly bloody The Boys having been off air for five or so months now, the streaming world is particularly due for a new supe. With its list of new releases for March 2021, Amazon is going to be rectifying that. The animated adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s comic series Invincible is set to arrive on Amazon Prime this March 26. Kirkman’s comic series is a colorful, thrilling, and violent take on superhero myths and the series that it inspired will feature a truly impressive cast. Take…

Best Anime On Amazon Prime Video

New DVD release, , ,
Isn’t it just the worst when you’re out with friends at your favorite restaurant (masked up, of course) and everyone’s discussing Inuyashiki but you’re unable to jump in? How about when you’re waiting for the bus to arrive and people are discussing the latest Happy Sugar Life plot twist? Or when your cashier at the supermarket tries to make small talk and naturally namedrops the eternal equalizer, Re: Creators, and you just have to quietly look at your shoes? Okay, so anime’s presence might not be quite at that level, but the popularity of the once-niche area of the animation industry only continues to blossom and become…
