Star Trek: Enterprise – An Oral History of Starfleet’s First Adventure

New DVD release, , , ,
Before Discovery or Strange New Worlds, the early days of the future as postulated by Star Trek were explored in the television series Star Trek: Enterprise. Celebrating its 20th anniversary at the end of the month, it was set roughly 75 years prior to The Original Series, during the fledgling days of Starfleet, when humanity was first venturing out into the cosmos.  Scott Bakula as Jonathan Archer captained the first starship given the name Enterprise, leading a team consisting of humans, a Vulcan, and a Denobulan. The voyage wasn’t always a smooth one, but certainly an important part of the…

How Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ First Episode Showed the Darker Side of the Jedi

New DVD release, , , ,
This Star Wars: The Clone Wars article contains spoilers. “Ambush,” the first episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, opens with a simple question: who is stronger, an army of droids, or a single Jedi Master? Well, when that Jedi Master is Yoda, fans can be pretty sure of the answer, and “Ambush” delights in that certainty. The episode is an action-packed, droid-busting romp, with a short interlude for Yoda’s serene Jedi wisdom. It’s an episode unlikely to be accused of being deep. And yet, “Ambush” carefully seeds the paradoxes that will ultimately cause the downfall of the Jedi. How…

Evil Season 2 is Paramount+’s First Big Opportunity

New DVD release, , ,
Every fresh new venture needs a feature that makes it essential and worthy of consumer’s money. In the technology world they call them “killer apps.” Bill Gates once described Internet Explorer as Microsoft’s killer app (R.I.P. to Internet Explorer…and also maybe Bill Gates’ career as a public figure). Each new videogame console launch is usually accompanied by a killer app game like Grand Theft Auto for PlayStation 2 or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Nintendo Switch. The streaming world, however, operates a bit differently. Streaming platforms are so big and so important to their respective entertainment…

Marvel’s Eternals Trailer Has First Look at Kit Harington as Black Knight

New DVD release, , , , , ,
If you went into the teaser trailer for Marvel’s Eternals with relatively little foreknowledge, then you may have been surprised by the Jon Snow of it all—and, by that, I mean the fact that Kit Harington appears in this movie, alongside his Game of Thrones co-star Richard Madden (who plays Ikaris). Harrington will play the Black Knight, aka Dane Whitman. As we explained back in 2019, in the comics, Marvel’s Black Knight character is a wielder of the mystical Ebony Blade, a sword made from a meteor and blessed by Merlin that protects its user from harm (and can drive…

The First Mission: Impossible Still Has One of the Greatest Action Set Pieces

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It was a rare thing even back then. Inside movie houses across America, the silence was so acute you could hear a popcorn kernel drop—never mind pens. That was because on the big beautiful cinema screen, Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt was performing what 25 years and six Mission: Impossible movies later may still be his greatest stunt. And there weren’t any motorcycles revving up, nor was there a plane taking off. All we needed was an actor dangling from a wire over a glass floor. If you looked closely, too, out of the corner of his eye there suddenly would…

The Suicide Squad: King Shark Was First New Character James Gunn Added to Roster

New DVD release, , , , , ,
There is just something almost too cute about King Shark, right? Essentially a six-foot, walking talking Great White Shark, the character is like if Jaws was huggable. It’s what elevated this one-time C-stringer created by Karl Kesel in 1994 to becoming one of the most popular new DC villains—with multiple interpretations already popping up on the small screen via the CW’s Arrowverse and HBO Max’s Harley Quinn. Now he’s about to make his big screen debut on the big screen, with the character enjoying a starring role in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad… where he’ll be voiced by Sylvester Stallone,…

House of the Dragon Photos Offer First Look at Thrones Prequel Characters

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Production on HBO’s first Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is now underway. And we don’t even have to take the network’s word for it this time, as over the weekend grainy, far away photos and videos of actors in costume began to emerge on social media.  Since we all clearly can’t help but snoop, HBO has decided just to go ahead and release high quality photos of said actors in costume. The first three official photos of House of the Dragon today and they highlight five brand new (or technically old in this prequel’s case) characters…perhaps even…

Oscars 2021: Chloé Zhao Becomes First Asian-American Woman to Win Best Director

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Chloé Zhao made history tonight by becoming the first woman of color to win a Best Director Oscar, as well as only the second female filmmaker to take that prize. Recognized for her work writing and directing Nomadland, a meditative drama about an older woman named Fern (Frances McDormand) who travels the American West in a van she also lives in, Zhao made history when she took the stage. And, fittingly, Zhao used her acceptance speech to talk about a shared goodness she’s seen from people in all walks of life and in all corners of the earth. “Even though…

In First Become Ashes, K.M. Szpara Makes Us Wonder if Magic is Real

New DVD release, , , , , ,
K.M. Szpara‘s debut Docile was one of the most binge-able, divisive reads of 2020. A near-future drama set in a world in debt crisis (imagine that), Docile explores the violence of capitalism at the most intimate of interpersonal levels, as we follow Elisha as he sells himself to trillionaire Alex in order to pay off his family’s debts. With Docile, Szpara, a queer and trans Baltimore-based author, proved himself willing to dive into some complex, culturally loaded subjects to tell a science fiction story that reflects some central yet ignored truths about our contemporary society. For me, a White reader,…

Monster Hunter Rise: How to Choose Your First Weapons

New DVD release, , , ,
Monster Hunter Rise continues this series’ tradition of offering a complex series of mechanics wrapped in a stylish package that emphasizes absurdity and fun. Before you can dive into everything that makes this franchise famous, though, you’re going to have to choose which of Monster Hunter Rise‘s weapons are right for you. While Monster Hunter Rise doesn’t make you commit to your starting weapon for the entire game, choosing the right weapon for you can make all the difference. That’s especially true if Rise is your first Monster Hunter game and you really want to give yourself a chance to…

Animorphs Graphic Novel #2: ‘The Visitor’ Exclusive First Look

New DVD release, , , , ,
Last year the Animorphs triumphantly returned in a new graphic novel series that pleased not only hardcore fans but kept extremely true to the original books, right down to using much of the same dialogue. This has brought new visual life to the well beloved franchise and hasn’t sanitized the sometimes-bleak series; it still contained all the hard choices, deep conflict, and snapping bones while morphing that made the series such a fan favorite to this very day. Now Scholastic is gearing up for the release of the second Animorphs graphic novel (adapting The Vistor book) and we’ve got an…

Loki: First Marvel Merch Teases Timey-Wimey Plot

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for Avengers: Endgame and the wider MCU Our first look at Marvel’s merchandise for its summer-set Loki series has arrived, and in the words of the great American poet Billy Ray Cyrus, there is much to think about. The initial wave of merch, which has been described by some Twitter fan accounts as “cursed”, “ugly”, “horrible” and “some kind of punishment”, was on full display in the Zazzle store this week far ahead of Loki’s June premiere, but despite a few of its questionable design choices, it does give us a better idea of how much…

Jupiter’s Legacy Comic Comes to Life in Netflix Series First Look

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
At first glance, comics would appear to be the easiest print medium to adapt into a visual medium like film or television. But as we all know from decades spent watching comic book adaptations (some great, some good, some…not good) that’s not always the case.  There are bound to be subtleties of art, lighting, and movement that visual media could misinterpret or outright miss. With its latest comic adaptation, and its first project from Millarworld, Netflix looks to be striving for as close a visual adaptation as possible. Jupiter’s Legacy will be based on the comic book series of the…
