Theres a marked bit in this interview which has spoilers for the film Joy. David O Russells latest film,Joy, lands in UK cinemas on New Years Day. Ahead of its release, he spared us some time for this chat about the film… So hows the day been? How have all the interviews been? Ive enjoyed the conversations. And the other thing of it is I think people have things to say about it....
Marvel made its name developing flawed superheroes, but Jessica Jones took it one step further. Tragedy nearly always informs a superheros choice to walk the path of heroism. The loss often hardens them and inspires them to do what others cannot or will not do. This is the standard for most heroes who decide to put on a cape or cowl. They hide behind their costumes and arent allowed to breathe into the moments that altered their lives forever....
Most importantly, the film answered our questions about what the future ofStar Warswould look like. There aremany big questionsfans had by the end of the film that will undoubtedly be explored in its sequels. But first, let me just reiterate thatBIG SPOILERSare ahead. By the end ofTFA, we have some clues. But the quest for Luke Skywalker inTFAis like the Death Star plans in the originalStar Wars. But in searching for the MacGuffin, the characters discover their true potential and become the real saviors....
Ad content continues below The points in her timeline at which she became a doctor and then a professor. You took me to Darillium to see the Singing Towers. What a night that was; the towers sang, and you cried. Among River Songs possessions is a fez, an article of headwear beloved by the eleventh Doctor. Both of Rivers catchphrases appear in this story, courtesy of the Doctor....

We look at how BB-8 steals the show and our hearts in Star Wars: The Force Awakens… This article contains lots of spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Wed advise you not to scroll past our Force-sensitive spoiler squirrel until youve seen the film… Understandably, there was a bit of scepticism circulating prior to theStar Wars: The Force Awakens release. But, after a couple of minutes spent watching BB-8 in action, I was utterly convinced....
I assumeDK3started with the two of you, as far as reviving it and coming back after 12 years. Can you talk about how that conversation went? Did one of you come to the other one? Brian Azzarello:I think DC went to you, right? Frank Miller:I think they came crawling to both of us. Azzarello:Well, I wanted to be more generous. Miller:They approached me. Was this because they had already been talking about doingBatman v Supermanbased onDark Knight Returns?...

Even the sports have gotten more extreme. They still surf and skydive, albeit with wingsuits and jet skis towing them in to the biggest waves. Edgar Ramirez plays Bodhi and has thought deeply about Bodhis philosophy. His methods still require FBI agent Johnny Utah (Luke Bracey) to go undercover. The name Johnny Utah is more of a source of guilt for his character. Does Bodhi have a different meaning for you than the original?...
The first Home Alone movie remains the best. Here’s the case as to why… Spoilers lie ahead. Compile a list of archetypical Christmas movies and sooner or later, youll have to putHome Aloneon it. I know, because I was asked to watch them all and report back for Den of Geek. And Ive done it. And if you keep reading, soon you will too. We start our five-article series where it all began: the original and (likely) best....
If any film needed a sequel, it wasHome Alone. I dont mean needed in the sense that it was culturally necessary, but financially? Youd have to be an idiot not to have rushed it into production. Made for $18 million, the firstHome Alonemade almost half a billion dollars. Even a fraction of that success would mean a fresh yacht for everyone involved. In the second of our series of retrospectives, we ask: was that excitement justified?...
Macaulay Culkin was gone, Alex D Linz and Scarlett Johansson were in. Er, not many people’s highpoint… Spoilers lie ahead. Sure you’re free to, because you probably saw them both in the cinema. A third movie was inevitable. What the franchise needed was a new hero. A new child star for America, and the world, to clasp to its collective bosom. I think you probably know how this works out....
The first Home Alone film to skip cinemas. Home Alone 4, though, had problems on its hands. Not least recasting the original roles… Spoilers lie ahead. MP3 players and Chemsex or whatever. So it was that we ended up withHome Alone 4: Taking Back The House. Alex Pruitt hero to dozens though he was simply wouldnt work in a post 9-11 era. It simply wasnt feasible for children to fight terrorists....
