New DVD releaseblack, dwayne, hints, johnson, movie

His wife and children killed. His people brutally enslaved. He is not a superhero, but rather a champion. Champion of the poor and beaten down. Champion of the people. And he is the most unstoppable force in the DC UNIVERSE.” Johnson has been attached to the role of Black Adam for many years…

Rian Johnson Avoided the Biggest Mistake of the Star Wars Alterations

New DVD releasealterations, avoided, biggest, johnson, mistake

Star Wars Sequel Trilogy 2017 middle act The Last Jedi may have a share of detractors for numerous reasons, but the 2019 release of J.J. Abrams’s closing follow-up, The Rise of Skywalker, and three whole years of hindsight have put it into perspective, generating a unique appreciation for director Rian Johnson’s renegade franchise offering. However, Johnson has revealed that a key scene almost revisited one of the most maligned retroactive alterations to the sacred Original Trilogy: Hayden Christensen’s Force Ghost Anakin Skywalker. Johnson recently provided a potent answer to a fan’s question on Twitter about an unrealized concept for The…

What Went Wrong With Dwayne Johnson’s Doom Movie?

New DVD releasedwayne, johnson, movie, wrong

When Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson took to the stage at the Amway Arena in Orlando, Florida on March 29, 2008, few could have predicted what would come next.     The budding action star was there to induct his father and grandfather into the WWE Hall of Fame, however, at times, his speech felt more like an impromptu comedy roast.     “There was big controversy with the WWE and illegal torture,” one convoluted gag began. “Apparently they would find Iraqi insurgents, tie them up and make them watch DVD copies of The Marine.”     John Cena, who starred in The Marine, was in the…

Star Wars: Rian Johnson Laments Lack of The Last Jedi Test Screenings

New DVD releasejohnson, laments, screenings

Rian Johnson has certainly been on quite the public journey with his 2017 Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi. From initial enthusiasm that the Looper director would be helming a movie in the rebooted Lucasfilm franchise, to a mixed reaction from fans when it finally emerged, to a continuing backlash from the kind of dedicated cadre of very online angry folk who could probably find the energy to tell Elsa from Frozen where she could stick her advice to “let it go”, to his triumphant cinematic return last year with the acclaimed Knives Out just as the Star Wars fandom…

New DVD releasebutthole, johnson, release, universal

Cats, the 2019 CGI-laden live-action film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical, may have set its paws in the cement of notoriety for a variety of reasons, but it seems that it just provided a freaked, cabin-fever-afflicted world something of timely and intangible value: a cause. This one, however, is centered on the digital buttholes of anthropomorphic singing cats. Do we have your attention yet? In a welcome distraction, this week’s digital release of Cats has facilitated a rumor from writer Jack Waz, who, citing word-of-mouth sources, claims that the extensive process of finalizing the feline features of its…
