Cry Macho: Clint Eastwood Movie Not Quite Tough Enough

New DVD releaseclint, eastwood, enough, macho, movie, quite, tough

Cry Macho is the 39th feature film directed by Clint Eastwood, coming almost exactly 50 years after he made his directorial debut in 1971 with Play Misty for Me. It’s also Eastwood’s first time onscreen since 2018’s The Mule, which he also directed; he did not appear in his last effort behind the camera, 2019’s Richard Jewell. We mention all this simply because those last two films were far superior to this one, so it’s difficult to say if Cry Macho represents a decline in the 91-year-old filmmaker’s abilities or is just a more casually produced effort than those last…

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer Follows Man Who Lived Long Enough to ‘Become the Villain’

New DVD releasebecome, christopher, enough, follows, lived, nolan, oppenheimer

Not everyone can die a hero. Christopher Nolan emphasized that point by even taking the mask away from Batman in The Dark Knight Trilogy, proving Bruce Wayne knows how to make an entrance and then be smart enough to plan an exit strategy. Exits proved vital to other Nolan projects as well, including the searing Dunkirk, a World War II epic highlighting the heroism of the common foot soldier and the British evacuation of France. Now his next movie will also be set during WWII, but it’s about an extraordinary man, who never forgave himself for building the weapon that…

The Warner-Discovery Merger Proves That Big Is Never Big Enough in the Streaming World

New DVD releasediscovery, enough, merger, never, proves, streaming, warner

Back in 2018, telecom giant AT&T completed its $85 billion acquisition of entertainment conglomerate Time Warner, creating a new entity known as WarnerMedia. WarnerMedia immediately became one of the largest entertainment providers in the world, generating $30 billion in revenue per year and hosting more than 40 million subscribers on streaming service HBO Max. Now, just three years later, AT&T has apparently decided that WarnerMedia just wasn’t big enough. On Monday, executives at AT&T Inc. and Discovery, Inc. announced a deal that would combine WarnerMedia and Discovery into one entity that will be able to compete with the likes of…

Mortal Kombat: Is the Box Office Good Enough for a Sequel?

New DVD releaseenough, kombat, mortal, office, sequel

Warner Bros. and producer James Wan’s Mortal Kombat reboot had a very good weekend. Despite opening simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max—thereby allowing any North American fan to potentially watch the movie at home—the video game adaptation overperformed and blew past expectations when it grossed $23.3 million in three days. That’s well above lowball estimates on Friday, which were pegging the movie at closer to $18 or $19 million based on opening day attendance. Indeed, the much more limited anime release, Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train, earned more on Friday. Nonetheless, Mortal Kombat spent the rest of the…

Godzilla vs. Kong Director Says There’s Enough Footage for ‘Five-Hour’ Cut

New DVD releasedirector, enough, footage, godzilla, there

At one hour and 53 minutes, Godzilla vs. Kong is the shortest of the four movies made so far in Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse. To be sure, none of the other movies are behemoths either. The longest, 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, clocks in at a still reasonable two hours and 12 minutes. But with big tentpole films regularly running anywhere from two and a half to, uh, four hours these days, Godzilla vs. Kong is the briefest of an already relatively compact franchise. Apparently director Adam Wingard did shoot quite a bit more footage that was not used in…

Are Xbox Series X Load Times Fast Enough to Beat PlayStation 5 at Launch?

New DVD releaseenough, launch, playstation, series, times

One of the more notable talking points in the early days of the Xbox Series X vs. PS5 debate has been load times. After all, each console boasts a high-end SSD that could eventually change the way that developers approach game design and will certainly reduce video game load times in the short-term. While Microsoft and Sony are both clearly excited by the many ways that SSDs will change console gaming, the PlayStation team has been especially vocal about the PS5’s SSD as one of the console’s biggest selling points. We’ve spoken before about why the PS5 SSD is unique…
