It was back in 2013 that Dome Karukoski first announced his upcoming biopic of the great J.R.R Tolkien -- that’s John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, in case you were wondering. Since then, this picture seems to have slipped a little under th...
Disney seems to be handing us a big old dose of nostalgia in the past few years, and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. It was announced by Deadline that The Hunchback of Notre Dame is getting a new live-action makeover. The new t...
Remember Hannibal? The cult classic show that NBC sent out to die repeatedly but just wouldn't? The one that was canceled well before its time? The one that took a graveyard shift timeslot to kill? My favorite TV show of all time? Well...
I'll admit it. Most years I'm pretty in line with everyone else's opinions of the best movies. I like to pretend I'm super original and trendy and can pick out those indie classics that no one else watched because I'm so with it, but I'm no...
There are good trailers and then there are good trailers. This is the latter. John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum might have a needlessly long title but that doesn't mean it's not going to be chock full of all the John Wick g...
The King Who Would Be King marks the return of Joe Cornish to the director's chair for the first time since Attack the Block, and it also marks the return of those kinds of movies where kids go on unsupervised adventures to save the wo...
I don't think I'm being hyperbolic when I say that Dragon Ball Z is one of the most important anime to ever exist. For many, Dragon Ball Z was how we became diehard anime fans in the first place. I remember watching Toonami as a kid and bei...
Last year was not a very good year. Politics were garbage. Economics were garbage. The world is probably going to end in like thirty years. I'm never going to be able to buy a house, and if I did it would most likely be swept away in a stor...
Luca Guadagnino’s homage to Suspiria was one of the most divisive films of 2018. I mentioned in my review a few months ago that I wasn’t sure if I even liked the new Suspiria, but it was a movie that I couldn’t just d...
Some film franchises should just be left alone, and Ghostbusters is one of them. Entertainment Weekly just announced that Jason Reitman will be bringing the series back in a whole new way. No, we aren't getting a sequel to the all-female Gh...
Grab your Shatner masks for this contest, and win a Blu-ray copy of 2018's Halloween! Why all the Halloween-themed stuff in January? Because I can, that's why. I abide by no law, and answer to no holiday-based authorities! To celebrate...
It hasn't been that long since Netflix raised the price of their streaming service but the insanely successful carrier, hot off winning multiple awards and praise for Roma, is about to do it again. The service announced today that prices fo...
Hot off the heels of all the awards in the world (including Destructoid’s own Game of the Year and Community Game of the Year!), 2018’s God of War was a rebirth for a franchise that was never really down, but...
The first trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home is here and while there's plenty to talk about in the trailer itself the first thing that comes to my mind is how damn much this gives away about Avengers: End Game. Yes, we all knew tha...
Prepare to witness Tom Cruise undergo through pain in the next few years, as the Mission: Impossible franchise will be getting two new back-to-back entries. Christopher McQuarrie, the writer-director behind Jack Reacher and previous Mission...
I don't think it needed mentioning, but video game film adaptations are usually never good. The hurdle that video game movies always run into is that they try to adapt several dozen hours of gameplay and narrative into a two-hour time frame...
Hollywood is moving at a snail's pace towards the hostless Academy Awards, with the Critics' Choice Awards being the latest stop in this awards season. The Favourite and Black Panther went in with momentum, receiving the most awar...
To say that I was in shock after this week's episode would be a monumental understatement. Aside from the fact that I have been completely awestruck by Dominic West’s performance throughout the first and second episodes, there ha...
Though hints have been dropped for some time now in the years since David Cronenberg's 2007 gangster film, screenwriter Steven Knight has given some fresh details on his follow up to Eastern Promises, and it sounds as if we won't have to wa...
When David Fincher's The Social Network landed Facebook was still the cream of the social media crop, growing ever bigger and just embracing its money-making promise. It was still a sordid story but the films focus was really on its cr...
This weekend Aquaman may not have grabbed the number one spot as it lost out to The Upside in its fourth week, but the folks at WB and DC are probably still very happy as they've finally cracked the $1 billion mark with a superher...
In a matter of four (hopefully short) months, the new season of Game of Thrones will premiere. To help sate the hungry appetites, HBO has released a new teaser for fans and theorists to drool over. In the past, the crypts of Win...
With bated breath fans have awaited the eighth and final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, a show about a struggling UK casting director searching desperately for English-accented bit players who haven’t yet been stabbed, set afi...
Biopics have come a long way in the last 20 years. What used to be extreme dramatizations of a person’s life have given way to more thoughtful looks at the humanity behind powerful figures. At our very core we are all humans and while...
If you love romantic comedies and sci-fi then you will enjoy Time Freak. When I first saw the trailer, I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into. At first glance, it looks like another version of 50 First Dates but with the ...
Capernaum made me think that we’re so privileged in the West: there are so many cultures in the world that haven’t had the safety and security -- on a national, local and personal level -- that many of us have experienced. ...
It's an incredibly sad reality to accept that racism is still prevalent in 2019. While we've come a long way from the 20th century and things like the "3/5ths Compromise" or "Jim Crow Laws," this nation still treats minorities with prejudic...
International movies have the unique ability to share with us stories that we may not know about in easily consumable bites. It's not that every single movie ever released has to tell the story of a nation or peoples past, God knows we don'...
For anyone alive with children "Baby Shark" is a song that will never ever ever leave your head. Its catchy beat and easy dance has captured the minds of children everywhere and burrowed deep into their cerebral cortexes so that they beg to...
2018 was one hell of a year for me. By the time this list gets posted, it'll be officially one year since I was asked to join the Flixist team! In that year I've been to film festivals, NYCC, seen some putrid, horrifying, no-good, vile, and...
As the years go on I'm actually starting to appreciate January more. Every movie gets a bit of a break during January because of lowered expectations and a universal need to stop watching depressing dramas and overblown action movies. There...
Greetings, humans. I am Lacey. I am the pupper of Jesse. I am here to tell you all of the new doggo movie, A Dog's Way Home. Why is Jesse not telling you of this new movie? Because my human is sleepy. He came back from the movie theater lat...
Frank Castle has a dilemma that he will not admit to. For the first few episodes of The Punisher season 2, the character, as played by Jon Bernthal, is trying to move past his Punisher lifestyle and find new enjoyment in life, but as he fin...
The Fyre Festival was billed as a massive luxury music fest, sort of like Coachella for even bigger trust fund jerks. Organized by Billy McFarland and Ja Rule, attendees were promised white sands, crystalline waters, extravagant accommodati...
Velvet Buzzsaw is the latest movie from writer/director Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler). It’s a horror film set in the art world, with haunted paintings doing spooky painting things. On first look, the movie seems like a fascinating blend o...
The Punisher's second season is right around the corner, so it's high time we got to see a sneak peek of it. Netflix has uploaded the trailer for Frank's return and it looks as bloody as you'd expect. People get shot, bullets fly and there'...
[Note: This review is for the first half of Wayne, Season 1, all that was made available to us prior to the series debut.] Tell me if you’ve seen this movie before: a loner hero type with a moral compass that’s written in s...
The show must go on, as they say. After Kevin Hart bowed out as the Academy Awards emcee, the annual Oscars awards ceremony will go on without a host. The last time a black comedian stepped down as Oscars host (Eddie Murphy in 2011) as a re...
The galaxy giveth and the galaxy taketh away. The fourth Star Trek reboot film in the J.J. Abrams timeline has been on shaky ground, with the two leading Chris's (Pine and Hemsworth) exiting negotiations to star in it. Now, direct S.J....
Hey kids! Did you know that Mattel has just launched their own film division, called Mattel Films, and that they're making a Barbie movie? Well they are! And they brought along everyone's favorite Hot Topic sensation Harley Quinn! I mean Ma...
