Disney Plus Offering 'Mulan' for $29.99 Could Turn Out to Be a Historic Event

Ever since Covid-19 forced the closure of movie theatres in March, the most unsurprising news stories have been theatrical releases getting delayed or studios moving a movie to either streaming or premium VOD. Movie theatres in many parts of North America remain closed but movie studios have a lot of pictures stuffed on the shelf that are not being seen and not making any money. Studios on a weekly basis have been forced to either push a release date to a time they hope will be safer to screen their film on the big screen for an audience or try to make a profit by either selling it to a streamer like Netflix and Amazon Prime or see if entertainment hungry consumers will bite at a $19.99 premium rental option. Just this past week we saw the Disney owned Fox looking to sell off the Amy Adams starring thriller, The Woman in the Window to Netflix and United Artists Releasing studio announcing Bill and Ted Face the Music will be release on premium VOD (along with a small theatrical releas...

The Breakdown of 'Desperados' and 'Color Out of Space', and Remembering Olivia de Havilland and Alan Parker

This week is a jam-pack episode of The Movie Breakdown even though we only have two movie reviews for you, but they are both 2020 releases. We've got a girls' road trip mixed with romantic comedy in Desperados and Nicolas Cage starring in an adaptation of a H.P. Lovecraft horror, C olor Out of Space . We also remember true Hollywood greats in major movie star of the Golden Age and two-time Oscar winner, Olivia de Havilland and the director of a diverse slate of great movies in filmmaker, Alan Parker. As well, we look at the historic pact between AMC Cinemas and Universal studios that shortens the theatrical window to 17 days, and we discuss those implications. As always, we had a great time recording the show and if you love it, please spread the word on social media. Reminder that you can subscribe either to The Movie Breakdown feed (a subscription link is at the top right hand of this site), or subscribe on sites like Spotify, Stitcher , Google Podc...

The Return of Misleading but Accurate Descriptions of Popular Movies

Over a decade ago, I was inspired to write a piece where I crafted a collection of misleading but accurate plot descriptions of movies. It was a blast to write and to this day, it remains one of the most viewed articles on the site. I did it again for the Collective Publishing site, but that one seems to be lost to time, due to the site no longer existing and my original copy must have been saved on a device that I no longer have. It has now been over eight years since the last time I did one this little exercise of trying to accurately describe a well-known movie but in a way that may cause you to think of an entirely different plot. Right now, seems like a wonderful time to do even more misleading but accurate plot description for popular movies. I should warn you that to understand some of the descriptions you'd need to know the film, thus there are some spoilers. Beauty and the Beast (1991): The town hero seeks the love of a beautiful girl and vows to kill the monster t...
