What do you think was the big news story of the last week? The crisis in Syria? No. You and all major media outlets are wrong. The only story as far as my social media feeds were concerned last week was the casting of a man to play a fictional man who flies about and…
Oh my god, oh my god, did you see that picture Simon Pegg tweeted from the Marvel Studios? He’s totally going to play Ant Man in the new movie…maybe. In reality he just sent out a picture of himself in the Marvel Studios pointing to a poster of Ant Man. As a result the Internet…
There aren’t many ways for movies to stay in the headlines after they hit the theaters. Unless they make “Avatar” money, there isn’t much for the media to talk about after the initial review and box office report. But studios have found a way around that. After Credits Stingers Keep Moviegoers On Their Toes The…
These are the ladies of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror that make fanboys hearts go all a’twitter, or least inspire posts on Twitter. We at Geek Insider know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That being said, we feel most geeks would be hard-pressed to deny that the following characters embody feminine attractiveness in…
In case you missed it, social media erupted last night in a way I imagine it would if “World War Z” came true. “So livid right now,” said one of my Facebook friends. “I just threw up a little,” said a Twitter follower. The news that seemingly angered the planet is the announcement that Ben…
Ben Affleck is the new Batman. Yes, that Ben Affleck; the Jersey Girl loving, fake movie hostage smuggling, Matt Damon sidekicking, already been Daredevil, Ben Affleck. So, what does it mean? Is the movie Batman-Superman already doomed before it has even come out? Will Affleck replace Bale as the night borne vigilante that we conjure…
You know what’s great about Star Trek? Patrick Stewart’s voice at the beginning of every Star Trek Next Generation episode. But other than Patrick Stewart (as if we needed anything else), it does what all good sci-fi series, movies and franchises do when it comes to the lady folk- It makes them tough. There are…
Animated shows have a subjective hierarchy. When Fox lines up hours of television dedicated to “Animation Domination” (including some, shockingly not created by Seth MacFarlane), choices for cartoon chuckles are numerous. But how do you rate the big names? Are you a South Park supporter, or do you prefer probably-past-its-prime Family Guy? Futurama: The End…
Stop me if this sounds familiar: Thing comes into existence. Thing gathers more fans and snowballs in popularity. People start to become actively angry that this thing is becoming popular, which then grows in direct proportion to the popularity of the thing. This is happening with The Big Bang Theory, a show watched by upwards…
The “Whose Line is it Anyway?” Reboot starting airing last month on the CW Network. Thanks to the power of the internet I’ve been able to catch up on the new version of what is one of my favorite shows of all time. The original US version ran for an impressive 8 seasons, clocking in…
Directed By: Neill Blomkamp Cast: Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga, Diego Luna, Wagner Moura, William Fichtner Elysium – Review After the horror that was Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters, I went on a quest to find a movie that had memorable characters and electrifying action. I found it with Elysium. Elysium is…
Director: Thor Freudenthal. Cast: Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, Douglas Smith, Leven Rambin, Brandon T. Jackson, Jake Abel. Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters – Review In every summer movie season, there has to be at least one dud. Unfortunately, that dud is Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. Before I completely rip this movie a new one,…
‘Preacher’ and’ The Boys’ are two graphic novels from the immeasurably talented Garth Ennis. The latter ended recently (2012) while Preacher is a product of the 90s. The weight of the decade between the two is evident: the world has changed dramatically between their publication. Both series are love letters to the USA, but in…
The trailer for the forth season of The Walking Dead is out, and I am excited. It looks like we’ll have more side-characters for the zombies to munch on; a change of location; and Tyreese might actually get a few lines. But beyond the visceral, ponderous madness that is the show, I have a problem….
They are coming for you. You cannot escape them. Everyone is aware of them. They may have even taken hold of your loved ones already. We Love the Apocalypse! (But, Why?) I’m talking of course about post-apocalyptic movies. Previous years have seen a plague descending upon our theaters, and 2013 was no different. Blowing up…
