Marvel’s Avengers Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This Marvel’s Avengers article contains spoilers. Marvel’s Avengers is a two-pronged game: there’s the game’s narrative-driven campaign and its post-game, online component. Both are informed to its story, which stars none other than the stretchy, spirited Kamala Khan and mostly unfolds over the course of the main campaign. The brunt of the story is pretty standard fare if you’re a Marvel comics fan. The campaign sees Avengers superfan Kamala reassemble the team years after a disaster in San Francisco. The reunited Avengers gradually uncover what really happened on A-Day, when the Terrigen crystal fueling the Avengers’ helicarrier exploded over the…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Warning: contains Young Wallander finale spoilers. Kurt Wallander’s first murder case left him disillusioned and questioning the point of it all. He’d solved the murder and identified the culprit, but was justice done? Was it hell.  After spending weeks discovering who was behind the murder of Malmo teenager Hugo Lundgren – time in which he was beaten up, stabbed, saw his best friend in Intensive Care, and lost his mentor – Wallander was left wondering if any of it had made a jot of difference.

I’m Thinking Of Ending Things Ending Explained

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
Netflix chiller I’m Thinking of Ending Things has arrived to confuse and bemuse. It’s based on the novel by Iain Reid, which is also a mystery, and it’s adapted by Charlie Kaufman, a man with a history of playing around with concepts of fiction and reality in his screenplays such as Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Synecdoche, New York. I’m Thinking of Ending Things is no less oblique, no less confusing, particularly if you haven’t read the book and only want to watch the movie once. Yep it’s a movie, and a book, which really requires you…

Disney’s Live-Action Mulan Ending Explained

New DVD release, , , ,
This Mulan article contains MAJOR spoilers. Read our spoiler-free review here. Disney just dropped its live-action adaptation of Mulan on Disney+ for “premium access.” Directed by Niki Caro and based on the Chinese legend, the film tells the story of Hua Mulan, a young woman who disguises herself as a man in order to take her aging father’s place in the army. The new, live-action version is very much not a shot-for-shot remake of the 1998 animated film, which means, even if you are a fan of the original Disney feature, you might still have some questions about how everything…

Is New Mutants an Ending for the Fox X-Men Universe?

New DVD release, ,
Ever since the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I’ve been absolutely fascinated by any and all attempts for studios to create and navigate an expanded universe. Whether it’s based on superheroes or the supernatural, we’ve seen more Goofuses than Galants. Whatever your opinion of the Marvel movies, you have to at least admit that it worked out fantastically for Disney. They figured out a formula and it was a success. Meanwhile, Amazing Spider-Man 2 got rewritten into oblivion, failed, and Sony buried their expansion plans until Venom became a surprise hit. Warner Bros. and DC rushed into their own…

I’m Thinking of Ending Things Review: Charlie Kaufman does existential horror

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Based on brilliant but deliberately mysterious novel by Iain Reid, adapted and directed by Charlie Kaufman who is known for his complex meta-textual scripts including Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind and Adaptation, I’m Thinking of Ending Things is a perfect storm of philosophy, ambiguity and wankery. Not quite as dense as Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York but definitely very much on the arthouse end of the spectrum for Netflix, a great sense of tension, unsettling visuals and terrific performances from its leads keep I’m Thinking Of Ending Things on the right side of weird. It’s opaque but…

The Godfather: Part III Has a New Ending and a New Title

New DVD release, ,
When Francis Ford Coppola first offered Paramount Pictures the third and final installment of The Godfather Trilogy, he titled it “The Death of Michael Corleone.” The studio refused. This was one of the most anticipated films of all time, and it wound up being synonymous with cinematic disappointment, undeservedly. The director will finally get to show his cut of the film and take the taint off The Godfather: Part III. For a start, he renamed it Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone, a title almost long enough to make you forget the original. The new edit…

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.…

Tenet Ending Explained

New DVD release, ,
Contains spoilers for Tenet from the start In some ways it feels a bit unfair that the film that is supposed to bring everybody back to the cinema is one that you have to watch twice, possibly once backwards, to understand the plot. Even more than Nolan’s other work, Tenet is a film of clockwork-plotting, non-linear storytelling and the feeling that if you blinked at some point you’ve now missed essential elements of the plot. Luckily, we’re here to talk you through the complicated bits, point out the bits you might have missed, and generally give you everything you need…

Perry Mason Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This Perry Mason season 1 finale piece contains spoilers by legal definition. Perry Mason made its closing arguments for season 1. While the jury was deadlocked on whether Emily Dodson (Gayle Rankin) murdered her own baby, Charlie, or not, the verdict was a triumph for the defense attorney and the series named after him. A hung jury may not be a clear win, but it is a victory. It means Perry Mason’s (Matthew Rhys) first case was not a full on winner. Mason made mistakes. He is learning, probably to make more mistakes, but his education will turn him into…

Charlie Kaufman’s I’m Thinking Of Ending Things Gets Creepy Trailer

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The first trailer has arrived for I’m Thinking of Ending Things, a new Netflix feature film based on the acclaimed 2016 debut novel from Iain Reid. The film is directed by Charlie Kaufman, who also wrote the screenplay, and while the book it’s based on loosely falls under the ever-expanding umbrella of current horror fiction, the new teaser is squarely in the wheelhouse of the man who brought us Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, among others.

Some of The 100 cast and showrunner Jason Rothenberg took place in a pre-recorded panel today for Comic Con at Home in which they chatted about the legacy of this show and what to expect from the latter half of the show’s final season. “We definitely started this season wanting to make sure we didn’t leave anything on the field, meaning there were certain unanswered questions over the seasons that we wanted to answer,” said showrunner Rothenberg about the plan heading into the seventh season. “And since I know people are seeing this after I think maybe the first 10…

Ghost of Tsushima Ending Explained

New DVD release, , ,
This Ghost of Tsushima article contains spoilers. Ghost of Tsushima is as epic as the classic Akira Kurosawa movies that inspired it. And in the spirit of those movies, Jin Sakai’s long journey to free his homeland from the Khotun Khan and his Mongol army concludes in brutal fashion.  Main protagonist Jin goes through a lot, both internally and externally, on his journey, while wrestling with the traditional, samurai notion of “honor,” whether or not it’s worth dying for, and what honor is worth when innocent lives are on the line. Fittingly, the game’s finale sees Jin come face to…
