BTS In the Soop is Coming Back For Season 2

New DVD release,
ARMY has been clamoring for a second season of BTS In the Soop pretty much since Season 1 finished airing in October 2020. Because the pandemic has kept BTS from touring, the Korean band has had to get creative with their content and how they interact with ARMY. Enter BTS In the Soop, a delightful reality show that saw the seven members take a break from their regular work schedule to pursue hobbies at a lake-side cabin. If you’ve never watched any of BTS’ many web series and are curious about the biggest band in the world, In the Soop…

The DCEU is Alive and Well and Coming to DC FanDome

New DVD release, ,
Count the DCEU out at your own risk. After eight years of doomsaying by critics (and some fans), hawk-ish box office watching, and yes, the occasional creative stumble, Warner Bros. shared universe of DC superhero movies is still thriving. And despite its commitment to only maintaining the loosest of continuity connections between its films, they aren’t blowing the DCEU up any time soon. Warner Bros. has announced this year’s installment of DC FanDome, it’s massive virtual event where they lay out everything the DC Universe has planned, from comics to video games to TV to movies.

Netflix’s Eden Review: Coming of Age in a Robot Future

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
The concept of the last or only human is a classic science fiction set-up, one we most often see in the post-apocalyptic genre, which often sees a human wandering a dystopian landscape, in search for meaning and connection in a grim reality. In Eden, Netflix’s new Japanese-language original anime, we get a clever twist on the old convention: Here, humans disappeared 1,000 years prior, and Earth is populated by a few settlements of robots. These robots spend their days growing apples, an act driven by their initial creation by and for humans. When a pair of apple-harvesting robots, A37 and…

Netflix’s Lupin Season 2 Release Date and Trailer: When Is Part 2 Coming Out?

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
Lupin, the Netflix heist series that dropped its first five episodes in January, became the platform’s most-watched French-language original series of all time, raking in a reported 70 million households in the first four weeks of release and becoming Netflix‘s most-watched title in the first quarter of 2021. Ever since then, Lupin‘s many fans have been desperate to see the next chapter in the story of professional thief Assane Diop (Omar Sy), given that the first part of the series ended on a massive cliffhanger, with Assane’s son, Raoul, abducted by the dastardly Pellegrini. From the current Raoul situation to…

Best Movies Coming to Netflix in May 2021

New DVD release, ,
Movies are slowly coming back to life at the cinemas. You can see it with each glowing report about a Godzilla vs. Kong or Mortal Kombat doing solid business. And for those with more discerning tastes, films like In the Heights and Those Who Wish Me Dead are definitely going to make their release dates. Nonetheless, there are many who are understandably not ready to go back to theaters (or have yet to get an HBO Max subscription). Thus Netflix remains an old reliable option. While the Netflix movie selection can be narrow, each month offers some worthwhile gems to…

Best Movies Coming to Netflix in April 2021

New DVD release, , ,
When 2021 began, many movie lovers were hopeful April would be the month of the rebound. James Bond was scheduled to (finally) return at the beginning of the month, and Marvel’s Black Widow was waiting at just the end of it. This of course did not happen. Nevertheless, for those looking for more bite-sized distractions over the usual binging blur on streaming services, there is still relief coming on Netflix. While all of the below movies are relatively recent, chances are you haven’t seen any of them in a long time, if at all. So sit back, relax, and find…

Coming 2 America: Why You Need to Stay for the Mid-Credits Scene

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains Coming 2 America spoilers. Coming 2 America came out in a very different era from the original 1988 movie. Clearly. In some ways that’s a good thing, with the belated comedy sequel gently critiquing the sexism in some of the earlier Eddie Murphy movie’s humor, such as the use of attractive female “bathers” in the fairy tale land of Zamunda—wherein they must “clean” their patriarchal princes and kings every morning. In Coming 2 America, the objectification goes both ways when Leslie Jones gets into the tub. That’s progress… I guess? And in other areas, Coming 2 America…

Coming 2 America is a Sequel to More Than One Eddie Murphy Movie

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Coming 2 America spoilers. One thing Coming 2 Ameirca is not lacking in is nostalgia and easter eggs for the past. Before the opening credits have even concluded, we’ve learned that Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) has surprisingly kept a sentimental photo of his one-time barber from 1988, and another of himself in a McDowell’s uniform. (To be fair though, McDowell’s is at least where he wooed his future queen Lisa.) Soon enough John Amos and Louie Anderson also show up for a bow in the opening montage. Yet one of the best callbacks in the whole film…

Why the Coming to America TV Series Was Made to Fail

New DVD release, ,
As Amazon Prime Video’s premiere of sequel Coming 2 America ends decades’ worth of wait for fans of the 1988 Eddie Murphy comedy classic, Coming to America, it seemed as good a time as any to look back at the first attempt to capitalize on the franchise, the 1989 spinoff television pilot. Indeed, it’s an endeavor of which few fans are aware, and a fascinating failure during an era in which television was churning out cinematic-inspired sitcoms left and right. Of course, the Coming to America movie was a resounding success, a widely-accessible romantic comedy that permeated pop culture in…

Coming 2 America Review: Eddie Murphy’s Zamunda Needs New Blood

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Before watching Coming 2 America, try to think of some successful comedy sequels. If the best you can conjure up is Wayne’s World 2 or 22 Jump Street then that really speaks for itself, doesn’t it? More difficult than the traditional comedy sequel is the many-years-too-late variety of retread. Just ask Zoolander 2 or Dumb and Dumber To. Rehashing the same jokes and running them into the ground, reusing the old beloved catchphrases, and hitting the same story beats typically set comedy sequels up for failure, no matter how nostalgic audiences may be for the original. For every Borat 2,…

Coming to America: The Secret Shared Cinematic Universe You Forgot About

New DVD release, , , , , ,
When one thinks about 1988’s Coming to America, a few things stand out: James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair as the King and Queen of Zamunda speaking to their son Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) at a breakfast table with intercom radios; the opulence of Zamunda’s palace, which represented an idealized African nation to 1980s audiences the way Wakanda does today; and of course Murphy and Arsenio Hall’s Semmi fresh off the plane in Queens, New York with no idea what “common” means—or also Murphy and Hall under pounds of makeup as the argumentative old-timers at the nearby barbershop. The film…

Coming to America: Ranking Every Eddie Murphy Character

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Coming to America remains one of Eddie Murphy’s funniest comedies. As a still reliable go-to example of fish out of water humor done right, as well as a vicarious fantasy about a fairy tale like version of Africa, the film has endured for more than 30 years. In its day, (mostly white) film critics dismissed the picture as vulgar and crass, but audiences found the laughs in Murphy at the peak of his skill and popularity, particularly whenever he donned a bucket full of makeup. In the movie, Murphy primarily plays Prince Akeem, heir to the throne of the fictional…

Coming 2 America: How Wesley Snipes Got Into Rhythm with Eddie Murphy

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Eddie Murphy’s Prince Akeem left his prospective queen to go to America in Coming to America. And he didn’t even have the good grace to leave her at the altar either. Rather she was dismissed while still barking like a dog (under the prince’s orders). The princess and her brother, General Izzi (Wesley Snipes) never forgot. And in Coming 2 America, he’s prepared to go to war over it. Snipes may be most beloved to certain audiences as the half-vampire martial arts master in the Blade superhero movies. But his comic chops are supernatural. From 1989’s Major League through White…

New DVD release, ,
Adrian Dunbar, Vicky McClure and Martin Compston are to Line of Duty what the ravens are to the Tower of London; if they ever leave, the kingdom will surely fall.

Superintendent Ted Hastings, Detective Inspector Kate Fleming and Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott will return as AC-12, investigating a brand new, possibly bent copper as played by Kelly Macdonald.
