Link Tank: You Should Give Speed Racer Another Chance

New DVD release, , , ,
In lieu of the Matrix Resurrections trailer, you should revisit the Wachowskis’s absolutely bonkers (but fun) Speed Racer movie. “Flesh-and-blood actors have many physical limitations, which means that adapting cartoons for the big screen in a live-action format runs the risk of diminishing their zaniness and elasticity. John Goodman’s career offers two different examples of how a cartoon adaptation can succeed or fail.” Read more at Inverse Drew Barrymore’s Ever After is the perfect modern adaptation of Cinderella. “Between a splashy new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical on the West End and a flashy new movie musical starring Camila Cabello, Cinderella…

Mare of Easttown Season 2: Will Kate Winslet Return for Another Case?

New DVD release, , , ,
When it comes to zeitgeist-capturing crime dramas, HBO just absolutely cannot miss. It seems like every couple months or so, the hallowed pay cable network (and now streaming service…kind of) presents a compelling crime drama that captures TV fans’ imaginations. The latest effort is the excellent Mare of Easttown, starring Kate Winslet as the titular small town Pennsylvania detective with an affinity for Wawa hoagies. Mare of Easttown wrapped up its story superbly in its seventh and final episode Sunday night. The case of Erin McMenamin’s murder has been wrapped up definitively and Mare and her community have begun the…

Fall River Review: The Satanic Panic Scares Up Another Bad Conviction

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Fall River, a four-part docuseries running on Epix, is structured like a rollercoaster. Every episode cranks up the suspense, building to a conclusion, and then drops the viewer into an emotional freefall. Almost 90 years after Lizzie Borden was acquitted of murder, Fall River, Massachusetts, hosted a second trial of the century. But this one was more like the witch hunts held in Salem, just over an hour’s drive away. Three women were killed in 1979, and the police and media blamed a devilish sect. The cult leader, a pimp named Carl Drew, declared himself Satan, and held his flock…

Why The Great North Isn’t Just Another Bob’s Burgers

New DVD release, , ,
It’s easy to take one look at FOX’s newest animated comedy, The Great North, and assume it’s exactly like the long running and beloved Bob’s Burgers. Two of The Great North’s creators wrote a good chunk of Bob’s Burgers episodes and the shows share a near-identical art style after all. At first glance some of the Bob’s Burgers character archetypes seem to be involved as well: awkward daughter, an odd sarcastic youngest child, and a loving, if somewhat offbeat, father.  So why bother with something like Bob’s Burgers when you could just watch Bob’s Burgers? While there are a few…

Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 4 Review: From One Hand to Another

New DVD release, , , , ,
This Attack on Titan review contains spoilers. Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 4 “It kinda feels like something is about to change!” “Yeah. It does.” There’s a moment in “From One Hand to Another” when Willy Tybur and Theo Magath look upon a statue of Helos, a renowned Marleyan hero and an inspirational figure for the nation. Tybur admires the statue and what it stands for, but Magath informs him that the attractive idol is hollow. It’s an empty monument with nothing on the inside. Marley puts on a brave face and acts like their future against Eldia is…

Monster Hunter Review: Paul W.S. Anderson Lowers the Bar with Another Video Game Movie

New DVD release, , , , , ,
One can say this for director Paul W.S. Anderson: he’s consistent. His quarter-century-old filmography is one long litany of mediocrity or worse, often veering into unwatchability, and the fact that six of the 13 films he’s directed, including the new Monster Hunter, are based on video games tells you all you need to know about his esthetic. Monster Hunter, which Screen Gems is releasing into theaters as the COVID-19 pandemic rages worse than ever, is based on the 16-year-old video game franchise of the same name from Capcom (it happens to be the publisher’s second-best selling series after Resident Evil,…

How the Cyberpunk 2077 Best Buy Debacle Became Another Next-Gen Sales Failure for Retailers

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The lead up to the release of the long-awaited sci-fi RPG epic Cyberpunk 2077 has been anything but smooth sailing. Originally announced all the way back in 2012, CD Projekt Red’s follow-up to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has suffered several delays, and not all of them due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Most recently, reports of poor working conditions at the developer shed light on the dark side of a studio that originally promised it would not rely on development crunch and mandatory overtime to finish the game. Then another delay came, pushing the game from its November launch date…

Another Round

Max SchindlerMovie reviews,
There's a theory that we should be born with a small amount of alcohol in our blood, and that modest inebriation opens our minds to the world around us, diminishing our problems and increasing our creativity. Heartened by that theory, Martin and three of his friends, all weary high school teachers, embark on an experiment to maintain a constant level of intoxication throughout the workday. If Churchill won WW2 in a heavy daze of alcohol, who knows what a few drops might do for them and their students? Initial results are positive, and the teachers' little project turns into a…

The Mystery of D.B. Cooper Adds Another Suspect to a List Which Never Landed

New DVD release, , , , , ,
On Nov. 24, 1971, night before Thanksgiving, a man identified as Dan Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient Boeing 727 flight bound for Seattle. He told the pilots to circle around a few times before he parachuted out with $200,000, never to be heard from again. A team of 40 FBI agents, criminologists, journalists, and attorneys worked the case for decades. In 1972, 15 copycat hijackings were pulled. The last D.B. Cooper wannabe hijacked a plane on July 11, 1980. He demanded $600,000, two parachutes, and the assassination of his boss. A stewardess gave him a valium and he settled for…

Halo Infinite Director Departure Raises Yet Another Red Flag

New DVD release, , , ,
343 Industries director Chris Lee has informed Bloomberg that he is no longer working on Halo Infinite and will instead be focusing on other opportunities at Microsoft. “I have stepped back from Infinite and I am looking at future opportunities,” Lee said. “I believe in the team and am confident they will deliver a great game and now is a good time for me to step away.” This move follows Lee’s reported decision to pivot from Halo Infinite around the time that 343 and Microsoft confirmed that the game’s release date has been delayed until 2021. Now, it seems that…

The Future of DC Comics Doesn’t Include Another Reboot

New DVD release, , , , ,
As part of DC’s Fandome, Publisher Jim Lee answered a number of fan questions in prerecorded videos from his home studio. One of those answers gave some pretty definitive information about DC’s upcoming publishing schedule. “There won’t be a project called 5G or a big reboot or whatever,” Lee told the remote audience. Lee was responding to speculation about DC’s rumored crossover that might have done everything from replacing all of the current big heroes with newer characters to a hard “back to 1939” reboot for the line, depending on which corners of the internet you mined. Instead, Lee told…

Zendaya Says Acting in Dune Was Like Being On Another World

New DVD release, , , ,
In the very first images that we see in the incredible new trailer for Dune, protagonist Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) has a vision in which he sees a young woman and hears her calling his name.

Link Tank: Why Supergirl’s Kara Danvers Doesn’t Need Another Love Interest

New DVD release, , , ,
Supergirl needs to stop forcing Kara Danvers into romantic relationships, and here’s why. “Sometimes, these ships wars can turn a fandom so toxic that you just want to avoid it. Sometimes, shippers are the nicest part of a fandom. But what if you prefer a character to just *gasp* … stay single? When I look at Kara Danvers of The CW’s Supergirl, I’d rather the writers didn’t keep trying to force her into a romantic relationship.” Read more at The Mary Sue. With Christopher Nolan’s Tenet seeing another delay, let’s take a look at the workings behind it. “A new…

Another G.I. Joe Movie Sequel in Development

New DVD release, , ,
Paramount continues to have high hopes for the G.I. Joe franchise. Despite the lukewarm response to the first two live action G.I. Joe elements, 2009’s disappointing G.I. Joe and 2013’s surprisingly fun G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the studio is pressing ahead with not just one reboot, but an entire series. The shape of it isn’t really clear just yet, but it’s likely to end up being something of a G.I. Joe (and maybe Hasbro?) shared universe of some kind. First up is Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. That film, directed by Robert Schwentke, stars Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians) as everyone’s…

Another Day of Life

Max SchindlerMovie reviews
An official Cannes selection and winner of festival prizes and awards worldwide, Another Day of Life is a daringly ambitious dive into the chaos of war, based on the book by the journalist Ryszard “Ricardo” Kapuściński, one of the world’s most compelling chroniclers of conflict. Intercutting a graphically bold animation style with interviews and archival footage, the visually striking film conveys a rare immediacy as it tells of the outbreak of civil war following Angola’s independence from Portugal in 1975. Against all advice, Kapuściński is intent on driving south into the heart of the bloody conflict to find the isolated…
