Kate Review: Mary Elizabeth Winstead Kicks Ass in Netflix’s Latest Thriller

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Style over substance doesn’t even begin to cover the flashy but empty thrills of Kate, a Netflix original action film which plays a lot like a video game. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is Kate, a highly skilled assassin working in Japan with her long-time handler and best mate Varrick (Woody Harrelson). The two have a rule: no kids. So when an assignment in Osaka sees Kate take out a mark in front of his young daughter, she is wracked with guilt. It’s a decision that will come back to haunt her in unexpected ways.

Does the Latest Lord of the Rings Amazon Series Cast Exit Signal Trouble?

New DVD release, , , , ,
If there is a definitive reason for genre fans to maintain their Amazon Prime subscriptions (besides the free 2-day shipping), it’s the company’s long-gestating untitled Lord of the Rings television series. The New Zealand-based production successfully endured a lengthy pandemic-era hiatus to complete its pilot this past fall, and continues work on subsequent episodes. Yet, the recent exit of cast member Tom Budge seems to signal that the purportedly billion-budgeted series is facing creative difficulties. Budge (Bloom, Judy & Punch) revealed his departure from the ensemble of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings series with an Instagram announcement, which was…

Yesterday Is History: Meet the Latest Addition to the Time Travel Romance Genre

New DVD release, , , , , ,
There’s a reason that time travel romances are popular, and it isn’t just the success of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander (both the books and the television series). The idea of traveling to a different time is, in itself, a bit romantic, and lovers crossed by time and space pluck the heartstrings of hopeless romantics. Kosoko Jackson’s newly released Yesterday Is History hits all the right notes for the genre by both drawing on its predecessors and striking out in a new direction, giving queer readers—especially queer Black men—representation in a genre that’s normally more female-focused. Andre Cobb is a young Black…

Discovery Season 3’s Latest Twist is Straight Out Of Star Trek: Insurrection

New DVD release, , , , ,
This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 3. In Star Trek: The Original Series, the USS Enterprise never once visited a contemporary version of Earth. Yes, the crew often time-traveled to Earth of the past, but going to the 23rd century of Earth was totally passé. Obviously, the Trek franchise has visited future versions of Earth a ton since then, but in the latest episode of Star Trek: Discovery Season 3—“People of Earth”—the Trek franchise seems to split the difference. Yes, this episode is about checking out what Earth is like in the 32nd Century, but…

Latest Stephen King Book Yields Three Different Movie Deals

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
The latest book from Stephen King, a collection of four novellas titled If It Bleeds, has already yielded three separate movie deals since its publication in May. According to Deadline, three of the tales in the book — “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone,” “Rat” and “The Life of Chuck” — have been snapped up by three different companies. The title story, meanwhile, seems likely to get an adaptation too, since it stars a character that has already appeared in two different King adaptations. King has an unusual way of doing business in that he licenses the options to his stories for the…

Halloween Kills Cast, Plot, Release Date, and all the Latest News

New DVD release, , ,
It used to be that ‘remake’ was something of a dirty word in horror after audiences were bombarded with substandard do-overs at the start of the 2000s (The Omen, The Wicker Man, The Last House on the Left, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, we could go on…) But despite early cynicism David Gordon Green’s new take on John Carpenter’s seminal stalk ‘n slash was well received by fans and critics alike and did great box office. So when it was announced that Halloween 2018 would form part of a trilogy with Halloween Kills coming in 2020 and…
