Judas and the Black Messiah Review: Lead Cast Stuns in HBO Max Release

New DVD release, , , , ,
One of the most striking things about Judas and the Black Messiah, Shaka King’s new Molotov Cocktail of a film, is how it really isn’t Fred Hampton’s story. The movie is obviously about Hampton, the charismatic Black Panther Party leader who’s given sweltering life here by Daniel Kaluuya in the performance of his career. Yet like the title suggests, the Black Messiah of this narrative is observed from afar—and from the vantage of the man who doomed him. It’s a familiar tact for stories about greatness cut short, and figures too large for a movie’s runtime to grasp. That’s how…

9-1-1: Lone Star Season 2 Release Date, Cast, Trailer, Episodes, and Story Details

New DVD release, , , , ,
It’s not often that a show going into only its third season receives a spinoff, but such was the case with Fox’s popular first responder series 9-1-1. That Los Angeles-set series gave way to the Rob Lowe-starring 9-1-1: Lone Star, which premiered on Jan. 19, 2020. The spinoff experiment was a successful one and now 9-1-1: Lone Star season 2 is set to arrive one year later. Perhaps there’s never been a better time for two simultaneously running shows about 911 first responders. Given the coronavirus pandemic and the general mounting crises of life in the U.S. over the past…

Lupin Part 2 Release: What is Netflix’s Plan?

New DVD release, ,
French heist series Lupin has taken the world by storm in the last week. Unfortunately, the Netflix series about a professional thief named Assane Diop (Omar Sy) who plans a heist of the queen’s diamonds only has five episodes in its first season or “part,” which is just cruel. The show has already garnered a lot of comparison’s to BBC’s Sherlock reimagining, and the relatively short seasons (runtime-wise, Sherlock Season 1 and Lupin Part 1 have about the same amount of content) is one of the many things these two stylish shows have in common. What does this mean for…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Batwoman is finally back! After cutting season 1 short by a few episodes due to the pandemic and a brief covid-related hiatus, season 2 is ready with a new hero, some new villains, and Gotham in mourning for a missing Kate Kane.

Here’s what to expect for season 2. Batwoman Season 2 Release Date…

One Night in Miami Trailer, Cast, Release Date and Everything You Need to Know

New DVD release, , , ,
Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, Jim Brown, and Muhammad Ali walk into a motel room. No really, this isn’t a put-on. It’s an event that actually happened (more or less) on the night that Ali won the heavyweight championship of the world in 1964, and right before he changed his name from Cassius Clay. Now what these four historic figures at the intersection of Black male celebrity and wider American pop culture said to each other that evening is unknown… but it makes the mind wander; it also makes for a hell of a good story in One Night in Miami.…

9-1-1 Season 4 Release Date, Cast, Trailer, Episodes, and Story Details

New DVD release, , , , ,
It’s never a bad time to dramatize the very busy and dangerous world of 911 first responders. This year, however, Fox’s long-running drama 9-1-1 will prove particularly resonant. Fox announced that it had renewed 9-1-1 for season 4 back in April of 2020, which was right near the beginning of the United States’ struggle with COVID-19.  The show’s production experienced some delays before launching in October of 2020. Now, 9-1-1 season 4 is set to arrive soon, and will have plenty of dramatic ground to cover. This is all to say that yes: coronavirus will play a factor in season…

The Blacklist Season 8 Episode 3 Trailer, Release Date, Episode Guide, and Story

New DVD release, , , , ,
The increasingly circuitous saga of The Blacklist continues into its eighth season, creating the opportunity to complete unfinished business. The move continues the ongoing saga of enigmatic antihero “Concierge of Crime,” Raymond Reddington (James Spader), the world’s most-wanted criminal who – unbeknownst to the general public – enjoys an immunity deal with the F.B.I. in exchange for leads about his vast array of criminal contacts (the titular blacklist), frequently shadowed by special agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone), who, as revealed later in the series, happens to be the daughter he conceived with a deadly Russian spy.

Prodigal Son Season 2 Release Date, Cast, Trailer, and Story Details

New DVD release, , , , ,
Prodigal Son proved to be a unique offering in a small screen sea flowing with genre-similar crime procedurals, standing out as a successful freshman offering for Fox after its debut in 2019. While the network was quick to capitalize on that success by giving the series a backorder for more episodes, it stopped short of an advance renewal for Season 2. However, any fears about the network’s apparent indecision proved to be unfounded. Fox has officially announced its renewal for Prodigal Son Season 2, assuring fans that the crimson-coated cliffhanger on which the inaugural season ended will get to play…

Zack Snyder Weighs in on “Knee Jerk” Warner Bros. 2021 Release Reveal

New DVD release, , , ,
A couple of weeks back, Warner Bros. rocked the movie industry by unexpectedly announcing that they planned to stream all their big forthcoming releases on HBO Max on the same day the films debuted in theaters, starting with DC’s delayed blockbuster Wonder Woman 1984 on Christmas Day. With all 17 of the studio’s 2021 movies suddenly heading to HBO Max, everyone from outraged US theater owners to Tenet helmer Christopher Nolan reacted to the move, which was not mirrored by rival studio Disney during their recent Investors Day. Now, Justice League director Zack Snyder, who has recently been welcomed back…

HBO Max Backlash: Christopher Nolan and More Filmmakers Rip Warner Bros. Over Streaming Release

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Last week’s earthshaking decision by WarnerMedia to launch the entire Warner Bros. Pictures 2021 film slate on its new streaming service, HBO Max, concurrent with a theatrical release, was seen by the industry and the public as the game-changing move that it was clearly meant to be. But the strategy is already garnering a fierce backlash from at least one of the studio’s top filmmakers, as well as a production company that has a major financial stake in several of Warner’s upcoming blockbusters. Director Christopher Nolan, who has possibly made more money for Warner Bros. in the past 20 years…

Jack Ryan Season 3 Release Date, Cast, Story, News, and More

New DVD release, ,
Long live the Ryanverse! John Krasinski and his version of Jack Ryan will get a third tour of duty on Amazon, which gave an advance order for Jack Ryan Season 3 back in February 2019. Paul Scheuring, best known as the creator of Fox’s Prison Break, will step in as the new showrunner for Jack Ryan, starting with the still-developing season 3. The move finalizes a process that saw the exit of Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel), who, after initially developing the Tom Clancy revival property for television with co-showrunner Graham Roland, stepped back from his day-to-day showrunner duties in 2019, as Deadline reported. Besides the…

HBO Max Release Schedule for Warner Bros. Movies

New DVD release, , ,
The future is here. Warner Bros. changed the movie industry, likely forever, when it announced this week that its entire film slate for the next 12 months will follow Wonder Woman 1984 to HBO Max. More than just a shot in the arm for the new streaming service, this obliterates the theatrical window as we know it, with every one of WB’s next 18 films opening concurrently on streaming and in theaters. This day and date “hybrid” strategy, which mixes online with theatrical distribution, has been described by WarnerMedia as a “unique one-year plan,” although many are dubious, likely including…

Doctor Strange 2 Release Date, Cast, Rumors and News

New DVD release, , ,
Doctor Strange raked in over $200 million during its domestic run, with a global total of over $675 million, so it shouldn’t have come as any surprise that Doctor Strange 2 eventually happened, but Marvel really took their time making the official announcement. Never fear, though, Benedict Cumberbatch is returning as Stephen Strange. The green light was a mixed bag of news for the sequel, as original director Scott Derrickson, who did great work on the first film, dropped out of directing Doctor Strange 2 – which has the intriguingly pulpy (and awesome) title of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness –…
