Denis Villeneuve Calls the MCU ‘Cut and Paste’ Movies

New DVD release, , , ,
Denis Villeneuve will soon premiere his take on Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi novel, Dune, in the U.S. This is not only the most important film of his career, but arguably the biggest cinematic spectacle to arrive in a generation. Yet, in a now-familiar fate for would-be blockbusters, its designed awe-inspiring theatrical presentation will likely be stultified by a day-and-date streaming arrival on HBO Max. While this phenomenon has left the exhibitor industry in an existential malaise, a Marvel movie, Shang-Chi, recently bucked the downward trend by grossing an impressive $85 million in a traditionally tough four-day Labor Day weekend. However,…

How Malignant’s Monster Calls Back to Stephen King

New DVD release, , ,
This Malignant article contains spoilers. Malignant has a twist so wild you need to see it to believe it. Seriously, stop reading right now if you have even the faintest interest in watching James Wan‘s latest horror offering. You really don’t want to spoil this for yourself. Sure, you’ll either really love or absolutely hate the movie’s batshit third act, but the experience of watching the twist for the first time is worth the price of admission. If you have watched the movie, maybe you left as astonished as I did. After all, the first two thirds of the movie…

John Krasinski Calls Jaws a Major Influence on A Quiet Place Part II

New DVD release, , , , ,
Once upon a time, John Krasinski was not a huge fan of horror. He made that clear when the first A Quiet Place came out, saying that only while writing and directing the soon-to-be horror touchstone that he developed a passion for the genre. Now he obsesses over watching everything in it, with certain classics drawing him back time and again. And for A Quiet Place Part II, he had a killer shark of an inspiration. “This movie I really want to feel like a throwback,” Krasinski says about A Quiet Place Part II. “So it was definitely all the…

Patty Jenkins Calls Star Wars: Rogue Squadron ‘The Greatest Fighter Pilot Movie of All Time’

New DVD release, , , , , ,
When folks think of Star Wars, their minds tend to the lightsabers or the blaster pistols: big laser sword fights or shootouts with Stormtroopers. But what is overlooked, at least by some, is just how thrilling the old school dog fights were between ace fighter pilots and daring bombers in the original Star Wars trilogy. It’s safe to Patty Jenkins is not one of those people, and she’s going to prove it with Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, the first movie all about the aerial combat in that galaxy far, far away. Revealed late during Disney’s Investor Day Thursday evening, Star…

Kate Mara Calls Fantastic Four One of the ‘Horrendous Experiences’ of Her Career

New DVD release, , , ,
Fantastic Four was a troubled production. Of this there is little doubt with director Josh Trank exiting the project, and 20th Century Fox commissioning apparently extensive reshoots. The negative buzz and worse reviews these events generated resulted in the film flopping at the box office. Yet it’s the reports that came later of a toxic work environment, including with how Kate Mara was allegedly treated by Trank, that has most tarnished Fantastic Four’s reputation. Mara recently opened up about the negative experience in question with Emmy Magazine (via Collider), citing Fantastic Four as one of the two worst experiences she’s…

Angelina Jolie Calls The One and Only Ivan a Disney Movie That ‘Deals with Heavy Issues’

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Among the many challenges facing the filmmakers behind The One and Only Ivan was this: how do you get across a very important message about animal safety and preservation without making a movie that will scare off family viewers tuning in to watch adorable talking animals on Disney+? That was a question we brought up during an online press conference for the movie, which premieres on the Disney+ this week and stars Angelina Jolie, Bryan Cranston, Sam Rockwell, Helen Mirren, and Danny DeVito, among others. And it was a question that stood tall in Jolie’s mind after she decided to…

Quentin Tarantino Calls The Social Network the Best Movie of the 2010s

New DVD release, , , , , ,
A million dollars isn’t cool anymore. You know what’s cool? A seal of approval from Quentin Tarantino. That’s what’s cool. It’s also what The Social Network received nearly 10 years after its release. Making a splash at the box office—if not with Oscar voters—the arguably first major film about the millennial generation was a pop culture touchstone in 2010 that’s aged like fine wine. With its haunting visuals masterminded by director David Fincher, razor sharp dialogue from Aaron Sorkin, and moody score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, The Social Network remains a potent work, and clearly a favorite for…
