Harry Potter, “the boy who lived.” He survived seven books, eight movies, confrontations with Voldemort, being discredited by the Ministry of Magic and the awkwardness of the Yule Ball. But nothing could save Harry from the inevitable end. The series is over. We got a complete story arc and a happy ending as he and…
At the turn of the century – which is always a cool thing to say – before we had the grumpiest of cats and long before anybody was twerking on anybody else (topical references: check, and one for luck: Gangnam Style, British television went through an interesting phase. Over the course of a few years,…
My girlfriend is an outdoors person. She’s an adept tree-climber, in her life she has ridden everything from horses to tractors everywhere from Zimbabwe to Washington DC. I, on the other hand, spent my formative teenage years streaming Battlestar Galactica. When we started dating almost three years ago, two things were likely to happen: 1) Her…

Director: Adam Wingard Stars: Sharni Vinson, Nicholas Tucci, Wendy Glenn, AJ Bowen, Joe Swanberg What do you get when you take a wealthy family in an isolated manse, psychotic killers in animal masks, and death traps that are only rivaled by Kevin McAllister’s exploits in Home Alone? You get one bad-ass slasher film! You’re Next…
Rumours of a World War Z 2 have escaped from my feverish nightmares and found themselves uttered out from Brad Pitt’s lips. As much as I adore seeing society fall and people getting all surprised that the dead are walking (after all those films and you DON’T have a steady supply of tinned food? You…
What happens if you moosh Ghostbusters with Men In Black and sprinkle on some Dead Like Me? You make a monster. Duh! Has Science Fiction taught you NOTHING?! RIPD Best Mash Up Ever? This movie has only just been released in Australia. That’s cool, Hollywood, we gave you Hugh Jackman and Jacki Weaver, but it’s…
With the end of August as an indicator, it was clear that the new releases to come in September were not going to be a great draw. Historically September is one of the weakest months at the theaters, but browsing the list there are a few movies that will pull people to the popcorn lines….
Though already hailed as one of the most innovative and theatrical live acts in rock music, Trent Reznor and Co. are raising the stakes for their “Tension 2013” tour. Nine Inch Nails Live Experience You’re standing in a huge room, surrounded on all sides by a crushing mass of music-loving humanity that you can hear…

Welcome to another Geek Insider movie review. Kick-Ass 2 is on the lot for today. Did you see it? Let me know if you agree with the review. Kick-Ass 2 Movie Review Director: Jeff Wadlow Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse Kick-Ass 2, the byproduct of the brilliant original, unfortunately suffers from the…
No Legolas or Tony Stark here. This list showcases 8 of the most attractive men in Sci Fi TV. That’s “8 of the most attractive,” because let’s face it, there are hundreds (thousands?) of worthy characters who could have made this list. That being said, there’s certainly something here for everyone. Here they are in…
One of the big complaints in fandom is when actors play multiple comic book characters across franchises. Chris Evans is The Human Torch and Captain America, Halle Berry is Storm and Catwoman and Ben Affleck will soon be Batman in addition to his turn as Daredevil. But one of the weirdest cross franchise scenarios is…
Broadway is where the stars converge for big stage productions and the thrill of a live audience. Theater may not be for everyone, but the cultural influence of the large New York shows is significant. In addition to the many professional stage actors who make careers out of perfecting their live craft, many Hollywood actors…
Eminem has little left to prove. The rapper has faced more than a decade of controversy and scandals, and yet, has continued to deliver scores of hits, entertaining millions across the planet.
