Cruella: Why Mark Strong Was ‘Fascinated’ to Work With Emma Stone

New DVD release, , ,
Disney’s new film Cruella is dominated by two exceptional performances from Emma Stone and Emma Thompson. The former plays the title character, an ambitious fashion designer who morphs into one of Disney’s most infamous villains, while the latter plays the designer who hires Cruella (in her Estella persona) and then tries to destroy her. While the two Emmas drive the story and take full command of the screen, lurking around the edges is John, played by Mark Strong, the valet to Thompson’s Baroness who doesn’t say all that much. But even his stoic presence eventually reveals a character with more…

Green Lantern Star Mark Strong Was Excited for Sequel

New DVD release, , , ,
There was a moment a full decade ago when DC Entertainment’s Green Lantern was expected by observers to become the big cosmic superhero hit of the summer in 2011. Meanwhile Marvel’s Thor was expected to stumble and slide off the Rainbow Bridge into the box office void. Of course we know what really happened: Thor, while a modest hit by modern Marvel standards, became a cornerstone of the MCU and Green Lantern—released on June 17, 2011—flamed out spectacularly, an inarguable bust with both critics and audiences alike. On the surface, the first live-action film based around the interstellar police force…

Shazam 2: Mark Strong’s Dr. Sivana Isn’t in the Movie, Confirms the Actor

New DVD release, , , , ,
When we last saw Shazam’s arch-nemesis Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong) during a mid-credits sequence at the end of 2019’s Shazam!, the mad scientist and Seven Deadly Sins host had been defeated by the title hero and was firmly ensconced at Rock Falls Penitentiary. It was in his cell that he was approached by the super-intelligent alien centipede — and fellow Shazam super-villain — Mister Mind, who offered to form an alliance with Sivana and promised that the Seven Realms would be theirs for the taking. While the sequel, now titled Shazam! Fury of the Gods, has been steadily ramping…

Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man: No Way Home Denial Game is Strong

New DVD release, , , ,
Spider-Man: No Way Home has kept crucial details about its plot opaquely secure under a proverbial mass of webbing, even as the threequel’s scheduled Dec. 17 premiere inches closer. However, the realm of rumors has seen plenty of activity on this front, with the reported return of Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus and Jamie Foxx’s Electro—each of whom are supervillains from the two previous franchises—signaling a Spider-Verse story that would presumably unite the heretofore unconnected existing Spidey films. However, a key component to such a notion, Andrew Garfield, is not budging in his denials. As one of the previous two big…

The Flash Season 7 Episode 4 Review: Central City Strong

New DVD release, , , , ,
This The Flash review contains spoilers. Abra Kadabra isn’t the sort of villain that you might think The Flash would build the episode that was ostensibly meant to serve as its Season 7 premiere around, but here we are. His original appearance back in Season 3 was pretty underwhelming and the show really doesn’t make much better use of him here. Or, at least, not as Abra Kadabra, specifically. As a set-up for the rest of the season, “Central City Strong” is pretty bland, an episode that would likely annoy many viewers had it arrived after a several months’ hiatus…

Strong Island

Max SchindlerMovie reviews,
In April 1992, on Long Island NY, William Jr., the Ford's eldest child, a black 24 year-old teacher, was killed by Mark Reilly, a white 19 year-old mechanic. Although Ford was unarmed, he became the prime suspect in his own murder. Director Yance Ford chronicles the arc of his family across history, geography and tragedy - from the racial segregation of the Jim Crow South to the promise of New York City; from the presumed safety of middle class suburbs, to the maelstrom of an unexpected, violent death. It is the story of the Ford family: Barbara Dunmore, William Ford…
