Maria Bakalova is Ready to Do Borat 3 in ‘Five Minutes’

New DVD release, , , ,
Maria Bakalova is having a remarkable moment. Six months ago the Bulgarian thespian was completely unknown to English speaking audiences. Tonight she won Best Supporting Actress from the Critics Choice Awards, beating out other Oscar winners for her genuinely revelatory performance as Tutar Sagdiyev in Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat 2. After all, how many other award winners can say their star turn helped expose Rudy Giuliani for extremely creepy behavior? It’s a brilliant showcase for the young actor, and one she visibly held very dear when she spoke to the CCA press after accepting her award. In fact, during a…

Ready Player Two Ending Explained: How the Sequel Jumps the Shark

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains MAJOR spoilers for Ready Player Two. You can read our spoiler-free review of the sequel here. At the end of Ernest Cline’s 2011 novel Ready Player One, Wade Watts a.k.a. Parzival inherits everything he set out to win in James Donovan Halliday’s Easter egg hunt: the OASIS creator’s massive fortune, as well as control over the digital world itself. So how could Cline, and Halliday, top that with Ready Player Two? By helping humanity level up.

Ready Player Two: The Sequel’s Best Easter Eggs & References

New DVD release, , , ,
This piece contains spoilers for Ready Player Two. When Ernest Cline published Ready Player One in 2011, its exhaustive array of Easter eggs were literally built into the worldbuilding—seemingly one pop culture name-drop per pixel that made up the digital OASIS, per the fierce 1980s nostalgia that creator James Donovan Halliday possessed for the most formative decade of his adolescence. And once the billionaire inventor revealed the Easter egg hunt for his fortune, it made perfect sense that the 2040s generation of gunters would immerse themselves in the same references, placing themselves into Halliday’s mindset to inherit his treasure. Almost…

Ready Player Two Review: Ernest Cline’s Soulless Sequel Beats a Dead Horse

New DVD release, , , , , ,
It doesn’t take long for Ernest Cline’s Ready Player Two to reunite gunter-turned-billionaire Wade Owen Watts with a vintage video game that holds a clue to a virtual scavenger hunt that will forever change the future of the digital, escapist OASIS. But after winning this particular game, Parzival (Wade’s OASIS alter ego) finds that he automatically starts over. Because of an extra life, he is given the option of playing through the game again, even though there are no surprises, simply to rack up extra points and because he can. Reading Ready Player Two feels a lot like that. Ready…

Angel Has Fallen Sequel Update: Director Ready For Fourth Fallen Movie

New DVD release, , , , , ,
When we last saw U.S. Secret Service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) in 2019’s Angel Has Fallen, he had once again saved the life of his mentor, President Trumbull (Morgan Freeman this time, after Aaron Eckhart finished out his term), from assassination and also reconciled with his long-estranged, PTSD-suffering but warm-hearted dad Clay (Nick Nolte). And just for good measure, Banning ended up accepting the position of Director of the Secret Service from a grateful Commander-in-Chief. The picture was the first collaboration between Butler and director Ric Roman Waugh (Shot Caller), who are teaming up again for this year’s planetary…

Is MJF Ready for the AEW World Title?

New DVD release, ,
Since its inception last year, AEW has been a company that relies on records on and statistics. It’s an analytical approach to wrestling that has made Tony Khan’s promotion stand out against WWE, whose booking often feels directionless and without any continuity. But AEW finds itself falling into the same traps as WWE sometimes. MJF is set to challenge Jon Moxley at the All Out pay-per-view next month. MJF is a future star, there’s no doubt, but AEW has done little to get him ready for a main-event push. Again, in a company where wins and losses matter, and where…
