Hawkeye Trailer Finally Brings Captain America Musical to the Stage

New DVD release, , , , , ,
He throws a mighty shield, but can Captain America carry a showtune? In Disney+’s upcoming Hawkeye miniseries, we’re about to find out. As revealed in our first official footage of the Jeremy Renner spinoff TV show, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still mourning the absence (and death?) of Steve Rogers… and capitalizing on it with some terrific kick-turns! Indeed, Captain America: The Musical is now officially canon, albeit they refer to it as Rogers in the MCU. Apparently the hottest ticket on Broadway, the new show is at the center of the Hawkeye trailer, which begins with Clint Barton (Renner)…

Evil Season 2 Brings a Case Worthy of The X-Files

New DVD release, , ,
This Evil review contains spoilers. Evil Season 2 Episode 9 One of the first reports of unexplained aerial phenomenon comes from The Bible, when Ezekiel saw the wheel. It was redacted in the later editions, but we now know he probably just saw a weather balloon. Just like the Man in Black played by Jesse Ventura on The X-Files proved that President James Earl Carter, Jr., saw the planet Venus when he reported strange things in the sky. Evil season 2, episode 9, “U Is for U.F.O.,” gets to the bottom of these conflicting reports. After all, the unidentified object…

Sailor Moon Eternal Brings Long-Time Fans’ Dreams to Life on Netflix

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
This Sailor Moon Eternal review contains NO spoilers! Read on with confidence. Back in 2016, the final episode of Sailor Moon Crystal closed out the manga’s “Infinity” arc and in its last moments teased what every fan was hoping for next, something we’d all been deprived of for far too long… a faithful adaptation of the manga’s fourth arc, entitled “Dream.” The premise of “Dream” is that on the day of the solar eclipse, the Dead Moon Circus, an ancient enemy of Silver Millennium (the Moon Kingdom) appears in Tokyo. Their leader, a withered hag named Zirconia, sends her minions…

Terry Silver’s Return Brings A Manipulative Villain to Cobra Kai Season 4

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Cobra Kai has spent three increasingly successful seasons of television reintroducing The Karate Kid film franchise’s cast of characters. Unsurprisingly, that effort is now confirmed to continue, thanks to a surprise teaser for the show’s fourth season, which has whetted appetites for the return of a major movie villain, Terry Silver. Indeed, the return of the character, the sinister schemer of 1989’s The Karate Kid Part III, could provide a game-changing sinister force for the show’s escalating war of rival karate dojos. Thomas Ian Griffith is returning as Terry Silver, the villain he played in an entertainingly over-the-top manner in…

A Quiet Place Part II Review: John Krasinski Brings More Sound and Fury

New DVD release, , , , ,
Does anyone else think the first A Quiet Place was overrated? Upon its release in 2018, the John Krasinski and Emily Blunt-led movie was greeted warmly by critics and audiences, but when you stripped aside the fact that Jim Halpert from The Office directed it (and starred too as an extremely competent alpha survivalist dad, doing his damnedest to erase poor, mild Jim from our memory), it was a pretty conventional B-horror movie. Based around a single gimmick—blind aliens who hunt their human prey by sound, thus making staying quiet essential—the film was full of contrivances designed to get its…

The Suicide Squad: How Idris Elba Brings Bloodsport to Life

New DVD release, , , ,
Idris Elba has a certain unmistakeable, charismatic vibe about him. The resulting magnetism extends to the wide range of characters he has brought to life over the years – from playing the second-in-command to a drug kingpin in The Wire to playing a guy who has to deal with the likes like Michael Scott in The Office, to playing a dedicated horseman committed to fighting off gentrifying developers in his neighborhood in the recently released Concrete Cowboy. Whether it’s as a leading man or part of a larger ensemble, Elba’s performances always stand out because of what he brings to…

Shadow and Bone Review: Netflix Adaptation Brings the Magic

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
This Shadow and Bone review contains no spoilers. Millions of readers worldwide love young adult fantasy fiction, but even the most wildly popular titles—Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series, Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunters books, Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy, and many more—are generally written off as “guilty pleasure” escapism, shallow, meaningless stories for people who just aren’t ready to take real literature seriously. (Barf.) Part of this reaction likely stems from the widespread public backlash to the few young adult fantasy series to gain mainstream popularity, like the Twilight saga or the aforementioned Hunger Games. But, in truth, the…

How The Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood Brings Back the Magic of Oblivion

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Blackwood, the latest chapter in The Elder Scrolls Online’s ongoing “Gates of Oblivion” event, is poised to be a particularly special experience for fans of the all-time classic Bethesda fantasy RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. While the chapter is set 800 years prior to the events of Oblivion, Blackwood’s versions of the sprawling cities of Leyawiin and Gideon, as well as the devilish Deadlands, will undoubtedly feel familiar to veterans of the 2006 classic. But as we learned during a hands-on demo period in April, the expansion also features new areas and characters that bring these iconic locations to…

The Walking Dead Season 10 Episode 20 Exclusive Clip Brings Back the Commonwealth

New DVD release, , , , ,
The Walking Dead season 10’s original finale, “A Certain Doom,” ended with a shocking reveal that completely shattered the status quo of the show. Just as Eugene, Yumiko, Princess, and Ezekiel were about to meet up with the mysterious Stephanie, they were intercepted by a new group of armored soldiers that likely look very familiar to fans of Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard’s original comic book. They’re of course the Commonwealth, a new faction that are unlike anything Alexandria has ever faced. Technologically more advanced and with greater numbers than our heroes could ever imagine, the Commonwealth stand apart from…

Edgar Wright Brings the Sparks Brothers Story to the Mainstream in New Documentary

New DVD release, , , , , ,
With the advent of the internet, it’s become easier for musicians to infiltrate the mainstream. That band you loved when you were in high school but no one else in town heard of? You know, the one that was your hidden secret only shared with your closest friends? Now you can give out a streaming link to their music or get their permission to use that song you love on YouTube. Everyone knows them. Especially if they’ve been recording since 1970, had 25 studio albums, and are still playing to this day. So how come you probably don’t know about…

Tamzin Merchant Brings Back Mystery of Unaired Game of Thrones Pilot and Daenerys

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Game of Thrones could’ve been a very different series. In fact, it could’ve never become one at all. This is a familiar lesson for anyone who followed the saga of HBO’s flagship series and one of the biggest phenomena in modern pop culture. Yet it’s worth recalling when so many folks seem to dismiss the series, or its creators, after 2019’s contentious final season of Game of Thrones. And it’s something we’re reminded of again with Tamzin Merchant, more than 10 years later, finally breaking her silence about the road not taken when she was briefly cast as Daenerys Targaryen.…

The Little Things Review: Denzel Washington Brings Back Creepy Serial Killer Thrillers

New DVD release, , , , , ,
With the 25th anniversary of Seven having passed and the 30th anniversary of The Silence of the Lambs upon us in just a few weeks, it wouldn’t be surprising if nostalgia for the serial killer thrillers of the ’90s is now upon us. That makes the arrival of The Little Things, directed and written by John Lee Hancock (The Founder), almost uncanny in its timing. The film is an unabashed throwback with the visual and narrative cues of the films mentioned above, and others along those lines, like Manhunter and Kyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure, liberally baked into its DNA. With its…

How DC Universe Infinite Brings Welcome Changes to the Digital Comics Reading Experience

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Way back in September, DC’s second FanDome event dropped a huge announcement: DC Universe, the all-encompassing DC entertainment streaming app that featured comics, movies, and TV shows from the DC catalog, would narrow its focus to comics, becoming an app called DC Universe Infinite. The new app launches on Jan. 21 and brings with is a slew of changes, many of them for the better — at least if comics are what you’re looking for. Den of Geek got an early peek under the hood of the app and we have plenty of good news to share. How It Works…

How Darlene Love Brings the Holiday Spirit and Soul to The Christmas Chronicles 2

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
Spoiler Alert: Santa Claus blows a mean sax. The high point of Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles 2 comes at its least festive moment. The young and grieving teen Kate Pierce (Darby Camp) is mistaken for a runaway and taken away by airport authorities–while being lost in time–all the flights on Logan International Airport’s big board turn from hour-long delays to outright cancellations, and joy in that small part of Boston drops to 7 percent. People are all up in each other’s grills, nerves are frayed, and complimentary hotel stays are not going to cut it. They are not a merry…

The Mandalorian: Horatio Sanz’s Mythrol Brings SNL Spirit to Star Wars

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains spoilers for The Mandalorian season 2 episode 4. Though Disney+’s first Star Wars live-action series The Mandalorian is only a year old, the series is already starting to circle back on its own mythology. In season 2 episode 4 “The Siege,” the show brings back a secondary character who factored heavily into the series’ very first scene. That’s right: Horatio Sanz’s “The Mythrol” is back and he’s just as useless as ever. Longtime (well, if November 2019 was a long time ago) Mando fans will remember Sanz’s unnamed Mythrol as the first bounty that the show’s titular…

Doctor Who: What Each Actor Brings to the Role of the Master

New DVD release, , ,
Sometimes you’ve just got to look at the general vibe of 2020 (the furnace bit in Toy Story 3 but half the toys are drinking lighter fluid) and decide to write something positive. On my way to nursery, another dad was telling me how he found Sacha Dhawan’s performance as the Master in Doctor Who a high point of the last series, so inspired by that, let’s celebrate what was good about each actor to play the role on television. If nothing else, it’ll probably be good for my mental health and give someone a chance to type ‘Of course…
