Malignant Review: James Wan Returns To Horror

New DVD release, , , ,
Director, writer and producer James Wan is perhaps the most commercially successful and influential voice in horror filmmaking in the 21st century. His relatively small output of moderately priced yet undeniably effective movies, such as Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring, have launched or reinvigorated subgenres of their own, with the latter even spawning an entire cinematic universe. So fans can be excused for bemoaning his absence from the genre (even though he continued to produce films) for the past few years while he toiled on the Fast and Furious and Aquaman franchises. Now Wan has returned to his roots with…

Star Wars: Major Solo Character Returns to Save Han from Boba Fett After Empire Strikes Back

New DVD release, , , , ,
This Star Wars article contains spoilers for War of the Bounty Hunters. Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters kicked off last month with the untold story of Boba Fett’s journey back to Jabba’s Palace after the events of The Empire Strikes Back. Han Solo is still frozen in carbonite on the Slave I, but when the carbonite matrix becomes unstable (which could turn our beloved smuggler into “goo”), Fett is forced to make an emergency stop to Nar Shaddaa, the infamous “Smuggler’s Moon” located smack in the middle of Hutt space. As you can imagine, things only get more…

The Mummy Returns Isn’t Afraid of Romance, and That’s What Makes It Great

New DVD release, , , , ,
We just passed the 20th anniversary of the release of The Mummy Returns, the follow-up flick to the 1999 blockbuster classic, The Mummy. While the franchise sequel has understandably not developed the same level of legacy as its predecessor, it’s honestly still pretty great and has some lessons contemporary blockbusters could learn from—namely, that there can be great power in a good romance. The Mummy Returns came out in 2001 and is set nine years after the original film when it picks back up with Rachel Weisz’ Egyptologist Evelyn “Evie” O’Connell (née Carnahan) and her husband, American adventurer Rick O’Connell…

Van Helsing Returns For A Final Season And Adds Time Travel To Its Narrative Palette

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Van Helsing article contains major spoilers for the season 5 premiere. From the dynamically retooled opening title sequence to the Jack-centric Transylvania storyline, it takes only moments to recognize that Van Helsing’s fifth and final season promises to take fans on a wild ride as it brings to a close its delightfully circuitous tale of horror’s most iconic vampire hunting family. Season premiere “Past Tense” doesn’t represent the first time the Van Helsing family story finds itself in the past, but there seems to be a more concerted effort this time to employ traditional time travel elements as the…

Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Returns with Big Morgan Moment

New DVD release, , , ,
This Fear the Walking Dead article contains spoilers. Fear the Walking Dead season 6 has been one of the darkest seasons of the show so far. Our heroes have been separated, some left for dead while others were forced to join Virginia and her cruel group of Pioneers who want all the survivors they meet to fall in line or die. When Morgan stood up to Virginia in season 5, it ended very badly for him. Not only was his group broken but so was his spirit. But season 6 has been all about putting those pieces back together for…

Six Days in Fallujah Returns and the Internet Collectively Asks “Why?”

New DVD release, , ,
On a day when Gina Carano was fired from The Mandalorian and Post Malone revealed he’s putting on a concert to celebrate Pokemon‘s anniversary, the most surprising announcement of the past 24 hours may just be the reveal that the formerly abandoned video game Six Days in Fallujah is being revived. It’s hard to know where to start with this one, so let’s just go back to the beginning. In 2009, Konami announced they were publishing developer Atomic Games’ upcoming military shooter, Six Days in Fallujah. The game was set to recreate the events of the Second Battle of Fallujah:…

The Midnight Sky Review: George Clooney Returns to Space in Netflix Movie

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Until until now, George Clooney’s efforts as a director have stayed firmly planted on Earth, with the stories that attract him being either inspired by true events (Good Night, and Good Luck) or tapped directly into the zeitgeist (The Ides of March). With The Midnight Sky, Clooney not only expands his horizons as a filmmaker, literally, but he also takes a giant leap into the speculative. In the process, he’s made a film that doesn’t always hang together, yet it ends up as possibly his most moving feature to date. To be sure, Clooney’s track record as a director is…

Ron Howard Returns To Space With The Astronauts For Nickelodeon

New DVD release, , , ,
Since its inception in 1979, Nickelodeon has been forward thinking with its programming. Yet it took over 41 years for the network to go after the final frontier, a live action space travel show for kids. To make an ambitious show like that happen, they needed the right co-pilot, landing the director of Apollo 13, Ron Howard.  Howard serves as executive producer for The Astronauts, a new live-action kids series coming to Nickelodeon on Nov. 13. It’s the first kids series to come from Howard and Brian Grazer’s production company, Imagine Entertainment, which launched a new division in 2019 called…

Jon Stewart Returns to Television with Apple TV+ Series

New DVD release, , , ,
Long before “fake news” was a rhetorical cudgel for the President to beat his perceived media enemies with, it was a term of endearment for a new breed of satirical news program. As first popularized by Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, news/comedy hybrids first had their moment in the early 2000s and then just never really went away. Now, after a lengthy hiatus, one of the genre’s godfathers is finally coming back to television. Today Apple TV+ announced that it has inked a multi-year partnership with Jon Stewart to produce content, including a current affairs series a…

Jared Leto Joker Returns: Just How Different Will Zack Snyder’s Justice League Be?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
When the news broke earlier today that Jared Leto would return to the DCEU as the Joker in Zack Snyder’s newly expanded version of Justice League, the question immediately arose: was Leto supposed to even be in the original movie in the first place? The answer, to the best of our knowledge, was “no,” which leads to an even bigger riddle (not to mix our villains): just how different will the new version, now called Zack Snyder’s Justice League, be from the 2017 theatrical movie? Leto’s encore as the Clown Prince of Crime was revealed by the Hollywood Reporter, which…

The Batman: Robert Pattinson Returns to Set in New Images

New DVD release, , , ,
Robert Pattinson has resumed filming on Matt Reeves’ upcoming standalone DC film, The Batman. The actor has been put through a turbulent schedule aboard the project to date, including various production stops and starts throughout 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In early September, it was reported that Pattinson himself had tested positive for the virus and had to self-isolate, as the crew tried to film other scenes in his absence. Eagle-eyed fans managed to snap a whole bunch of pictures when the cast, including Pattinson, Colin Farrell’s unrecognisable Penguin, and Catwoman star Zoë Kravitz, shot more footage for the…

Nightbreed TV Show Lands Godzilla Director, Clive Barker Returns

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Clive Barker renaissance is now officially in progress. The latest news is that the long-developing TV series based on the horror/dark fantasy author and filmmaker’s 1990 movie Nightbreed has landed a director — and it’s Michael Dougherty, who helmed last year’s underrated kaiju epic, Godzilla King of the Monsters. Originally announced back in 2018 for Syfy, the series will presumably focus, like the movie, on Midian, an underground world where outcast creatures and human/monster hybrids attempt to live in peace out of sight of the world above. The original movie was a box office and critical disappointment but has…

Tekken 7: Kunimitsu Returns as DLC Character in Season 4

New DVD release, , , ,
One of the most interesting parts of a fighting game storyline is when someone disappears between installments. Yes, these are narratives based entirely on violent heroes and villains kicking the crap out of each other for the fate of the world, so it’s easy to assume that neglected characters have simply met their ends. But sometimes things can be a little more complicated than that. For instance, Adon was in the prequel Street Fighter Alpha, but wasn’t in Street Fighter II or Street Fighter III. Street Fighter Alpha’s ending suggested that in-between games, he died at M. Bison’s hand. Then,…

Colin Kaepernick Returns To Madden After 4-Year Absence

New DVD release, , , , ,
Colin Kaepernick is back. Not quite in the NFL, but the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback turned activist has returned to Madden for the first time in four years. Referring to Kaepernick as “one of the top free agents in football and a starting-caliber quarterback,” EA Sports announced his arrival in Madden NFL 21, the officially licensed NFL game, on social media. The quarterback’s 2016 decision to kneel during pregame performances of the national anthem, in protest of racial injustice in the United States, effectively blackballed him from the league.  According to The Undefeated, EA Sports attributes his absence from…

Ben Affleck Returns as Batman for The Flash Movie

New DVD release, , , ,
Well, anything is possible in the DCEU now. Whether it’s Zack Snyder finally getting to complete his legendary (or infamous) “Snyder Cut” of Justice League, or Ezra Miller showing up in full Flash costume for a cameo in TV’s Crisis on Infinite Earths, it seems that the walls that divide the various divisions of DC Entertainment are less stable than they were in the past. But nothing is perhaps more momentous than Ben Affleck returning to Batman, a role which he played in two movies and then left before he could appear in a solo film. Affleck will return to…

Doctor Who: Christopher Eccleston Returns for Big Finish Audio Dramas

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Ninth Doctor is coming back to the TARDIS, more than 15 years after Christopher Eccleston quit the newly revived Doctor Who after just one series in the lead role. BBC Studios and Big Finish have announced that Eccleston will lead the cast in a series of new audio adventures, the first volume of which is due to arrive in May 2021.  The behind-the-scenes difficulties that led to Eccleston’s exit from BBC One’s Doctor Who in 2005 are no secret, adding extra interest over the years to the regularly raised question of any potential return. Unlike his successor David Tennant, who returned alongside previous…
