Supergirl: Chyler Leigh Makes Her Directorial Debut

New DVD release, , , , ,
This SUPERGIRL article contains spoilers for Season 6, Episode 6, “Prom Again!” Supergirl Season 6 Episode 6 Brainy and Nia’s journey back in time to Midvale saw a marked improvement (and even more time travel!) in its second episode. Part Cat Grant-origin story, part sales pitch for a Dreamer (and Brainy?) spin-off, Olivia Nikkanen (young Alex) and Izabela Vidovic (young Kara) continue to wholly embody Chyler Leigh and Melissa Benoist to an eerily impressive level. For her part, Chyler Leigh herself made her directorial debut in an episode that was so good, Brainy even happy-cried. This episode resolved two of the biggest…

Creed 3: Everything We Know About Michael B. Jordan’s Directorial Debut

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Creed III is happening. The third entry in what initially started life as a continuation of the Rocky boxing franchise is now moving forward as a series of its own… and without Rocky. The movie will follow up 2018’s Creed II, in which Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) faced off in the ring against Viktor Drago (Florian Monteanu) — son of the man who killed his father, Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) — while also becoming a family man and continuing to come to terms with the legacy of his dad, Apollo Creed. Not nearly as fresh and urgent as 2015’s…

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4 Episode 3 Review: Elisabeth Moss’ Directorial Debut Pulls No Punches

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This The Handmaid’s Tale review contains spoilers. If you’re going to direct your first TV episode, why not do it like that. Elisabeth Moss – whose 30-year acting career has given her ample time to figure out what and what not to do behind the camera – did not go small in her debut.  ‘The Crossing’ stood apart from the normal run of things by using almost no existing locations or sets. Largely set in a monumental prison facility where June was subjected to a series of brutal interrogation methods, it was horror through and through. With strobing red lighting, a doom-infused score,…

The Mandalorian: How Carl Weathers’ Star Wars Directorial Debut Brilliantly Evokes A New Hope

New DVD release, , , , ,
This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. In many ways, The Mandalorian episode “The Siege” is a love letter to George Lucas’ original Star Wars movie: the episode draws heavily from classic scenes from the original film for its own action sequences and set dressing. The combat in particular nods at scenes straight out of the Original Trilogy. “The Siege” marks the Star Wars directorial debut of actor Carl Weathers, who also plays Greef Karga on the show. Weathers’ first attempt at capturing what made Star Wars so great in 1977 is largely successful, an energetic episode full blaster…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Fear the Walking Dead article contains spoilers. Following one of the most infuriating cliffhangers in Fear the Walking Dead history, last Sunday’s season 6 premiere, “The End Is the Beginning,” finally confirmed that fan-favorite character Morgan Jones is alive and well(ish).

One Night in Miami Review: Regina King’s Triumphant Directorial Debut

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It’s a strange sight. Fresh off witnessing his pal Cassius Clay become the heavyweight champion of the world, soul singer Sam Cooke sits alone in his room. Actually, it’s a motel space Malcolm X has rented out for Cooke and several other Black luminaries at the center of 1960s American culture, but Cooke is the first one to arrive… and he looks more comfortable here by himself, finding peace while strumming a guitar, than moments earlier when he stood in the ring with Clay, holding hands up after the new champ’s TKO victory over Sonny Liston. But then that is…

Comedian Zack Fox To Debut A Wild Live Variety Show With Guest Phoebe Bridgers

New DVD release, , , , ,
Live television is electric. Even when it’s bad, like your average episode of Saturday Night Live or VICELAND’s mostly disastrous foray into live TV, VICE Live, there’s still something compelling about the chaotic, anything-can-happen energy. The spirit of a performance teetering slightly off the rails is part of what’s made live streaming platforms like Twitch so interesting and popular; there’s a little bit of danger baked into even the most innocuous feed.  IHEARTCOMIX and Beats by Dr. Dre appear to be courting a bit of this danger by teaming with Twitch for a new global live stream series, RELEASED! Hosted…

Michael Shannon on New Film Losing SXSW Debut Amid COVID-19, Industry’s Future

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It’s fair to say that our new reality caused by the coronavirus pandemic has upended everything we took for granted. Concerts and comic-cons are gone, movie theaters are closed, and for that matter movie festivals like SXSW are cancelled too. Yet in that void, plenty of original films that were supposed to open in theaters or at festivals, such as Scott Teems’ The Quarry, are finding their way to VOD. Previously scheduled for a SXSW premiere, The Quarry just debuted on VOD, bringing an original idea and major talent like Michael Shannon and Shea Whigham to your living room. Based…

Artemis Fowl Movie to Debut on Disney+

New DVD release, , ,
Artemis Fowl is the latest Hollywood film to have its planned rollout changed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Disney announced today that the adaptation based on the bestselling Eoin Colfer kids fantasy series would be happening not in cinemas, as planned, but on Disney+. The film was set to be released in theaters on May 29th. As of this writing, there was no date for the Disney+ release, but I would imagine it will be sooner rather than later. We really are living in a new age of movie distribution. Perhaps we were already heading towards more direct-to-streaming…

The Lovebirds, the romantic comedy-mystery hybrid starring Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae, will now debut on Netflix in lieu of a theatrical release.  Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the film, pulled it from its original big screen opening, which was supposed to be April 3, as the coronavirus pandemic began to take hold of the world.
