Hannibal: Did Author Thomas Harris Try to Destroy Dr. Lecter?

New DVD release, , , , ,
It’s appeared for a while now that Dr. Hannibal Lecter–the forensic psychiatrist, cannibalistic serial killer, and pop culture icon featured in four novels, five movies, and a TV show–has been unstoppable. Several of those projects were highly acclaimed by critics and tremendous hits with audiences. And Anthony Hopkins even earned an Oscar for playing the doctor The Silence of the Lambs, which itself went on to sweep the Academy Awards. So why did it seem like Thomas Harris, the reclusive author who created Dr. Lecter and wrote the novels, tried his best to kill off the public interest in Hannibal–if…

Link Tank: Why I May Destroy You Is One of the Best Shows of 2020

New DVD release,
I May Destroy You is one of the best shows to have aired in 2020, despite it being snubbed by this year’s Golden Globes. “Television has been excellent, and watching streaming series and waiting each week for shows has been my primary form of entertainment during this pandemic, which is why I know that the HBO series I May Destroy You is easily one of the best shows of 2020, and this Golden Globes snub is completely and utterly ridiculous.” Read more at The Mary Sue. With Anthony Mackie’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier set to premiere in March,…

Did Young Anakin Skywalker Actually “Destroy” Star Wars?

New DVD release, , , ,
The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy has never ceased being the center of debates, even after Disney bought the franchise and released the Sequel Trilogy, which has become equally, if not more, controversial. Among the plethora of perceived prequel problems, creator George Lucas’ choice to depict Anakin Skywalker as a child in mega-hyped 1999 trilogy launcher The Phantom Menace remains one of the most controversial. It’s no wonder the studio set to make the new movie with Lucas was so worried about this twist. “You’re going to destroy the franchise; you’re going to destroy everything!” is what 20th Century Fox executives…

Link Tank: Michaela Coel on the Ending of I May Destroy You

New DVD release, ,
Have lingering questions about the ending of I May Destroy You on HBO? Here’s what show creator and actress Michaela Coel has to say. “When I ask Michaela Coel whether she would make another season of her breakout HBO series I May Destroy You, she turns the question back on me. ‘What do you think?’ she responds in a genuine, but almost cheeky manner, laughing a little. I tell her that I think the series is a masterpiece, and that, while I would love to spend more time with the characters, the story does feel whole.” Read more at Thrillist.…

Link Tank: Is the Destroy All Humans Remake Worth a Play?

New DVD release, , ,
The revived Destroy All Humans game is fun and flashy, but its outdated design and its overly faithfulness to the original are a letdown. “Efforts to preserve this forgotten series are admirable, but Destroy All Humans is the perfect example of what can go wrong when reviving an aging B-grade game. An overall low-budget feel and outdated design make Destroy All Humans feel like a relic that would have benefited more from a full-on modern reimagining rather than a remake that’s faithful to a fault.” Read more at Inverse. Vincenzo Natali’s horror flick Splice, released in 2009 and now available…

I May Destroy You: a Bold Show Only a Survivor Could Write

New DVD release, , ,
Warning: contains spoilers for the I May Destroy You finale Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You is a tour de force creation of laser-focused storytelling. A creator working at the current height (but clearly not yet the apex) of her power, Coel’s take on trauma and consent is the kind of prestige exploration that only a survivor could write. The series starts with Coel’s pitch-perfect take on the nuts and bolts of trauma, from the intrusive thoughts and sarcasm toward art therapy to the ringing we hear when main character Arabella is triggered to Arabella downplaying her own trauma by…

Intent to Destroy

Max SchindlerMovie reviews,
Pulling back the curtain on mass murder censorship in Hollywood due to U.S. government pressure to appease a strategic ally, Intent to Destroy embeds with a historic feature film production as a springboard to explore the violent history of the Armenian Genocide and legacy of Turkish suppression and denial over the past century. Joe Berlinger?s thirteenth feature documentary film captures the cinematic and political challenges of producing a historically meaningful, big-budget feature film in an environment rife with political suppression and threats of retaliation. Berlinger juxtaposes evocative and beautifully shot scenes from the feature film The Promise with actual archival…
