[Trailer] ‘The Green Knight’ Might Be the Arthurian Fantasy Movie We’ve Been Waiting For

by April Carvelli
written by April Carvelli

I love the Arthuran tales and I love fantasy movies. It’s been a while since we had a good that combined these elements, but I think we might be getting one this summer.

The Green Knight is an epic medieval fantasy film based around the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.  It is written and directed by David Lowery and stars Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sarita Choudhury, and Sean Harris, and is based on the poem of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

The Green Knight is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 30, 2021 by A24.

[Video] What We Watched: Fun Clips from the Past Week – December 28 – January 3

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

While we’re all staying at home, a lot of us are watching things online. With the plethora of videos available, and more being created every day, it’s an enjoyable way to pass the time and bring a little fun into our lives. Some of these may be brand new, some may be older, but here are a few of the videos I enjoyed this week.

Who doesn’t love a good nostalgia video? This original music video by Eric Power pays tribute to some of our favorite video games in stop-animation. Another of his videos, ‘Tatooine’ pays homage to the original Star Wars trilogy.

Birds are truly fascinating creatures. These slow-mo videos catch them gracefully landing, picking a treat from the proffered hand, and taking off once again quicker than many of us could normally catch with our own eyes.

I think it’s safe to say that this past year we all watched a lot of content, much of it on Netflix. The streaming service released a video in honor of those among us who “watched it all”, from some of our favorite shows to cultural phenomenons like Tiger King. Are you ready for a new year of fresh streaming content?

WatchMojo has a series of videos showing the evolution of genres in popular culture over time, including how what was once considered “geek culture” has become part of mainstream culture. This particular video shows the evolution of the fantasy genre, including the popularity of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings franchises.

If this past year brought us one good thing, for pet owners it gave them a lot more time at home with their pets. This video celebrate that, with some of the goodest dogs of 2020. See them play with each other, help their humans do their jobs at home, and just be absolutely adorable!

What was the best thin you watched this past week?

[Movie News] In Theaters This Week – November 6, 2020

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

Many theaters are still not open in the US. Some have had to close again due to health restrictions being put back in place or simply due to a lack of people coming in. While many big-name movies are pushing their release dates back even further, or choosing to premiere overseas first, a number of movies are still determined to make their way to theaters.

This weekend brings two new movies to theaters. In the first, grandparents go in search of their grandson, living with his mother and her new husband, only to run into the stalwart matron who certainly is not what they expected. The second film is about a Norwegian-American who goes on a trip to Norway, only to discover that he has God-like powers and sending him on quite the adventure.

Let Him Go (R)

A retired sheriff and his wife, grieving over the death of their son, set out to find their only grandson.

Directed by Thomas Bezucha

Starring: Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Lesley Manville, Kayli Carter, Jeffrey Donovan

Release date: November 6

Mortal (R)

Fantasy adventure origin story about a young man discovering he has God-like powers based on ancient Norwegian mythology.

Directed by André Øvredal

Starring: Nat Wolff, Priyanka Bose, Iben Akerlie, Arthur Hakalahti, Ravdeep Singh Bajwa

Release date: November 6
