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…

But also hidden there is the light of reason that can lead us to the dawn.” –…
The Avatar movie was already getting 2 sequels. Now, it will get one more. Director James Cameron and 20th Century Fox have announced that the Avatar franchise will now be made into a quadrilogy. Avatar 2, 3 and 4. Avatar heavily influenced the movie industry upon its release in 2009 – with its great usage…
I think that we can agree that the Internet was not short from imploding or spontaneous combustion when we all heard the news that Doctor Who star Matt Smith would be departing before the show’s eighth season. And then came the predictions. In between all of the lamenting and criticism were various names of actors that…
It happens fairly often. You’re watching a show, minding your own business, and someone with that face comes on screen. You know you’ve seen them before. They were in that show, with that plot, and those other actors. You know the one. Right? You might be thinking of one of TV’s most underrated stars: Gina…
Reviewing The World’s End (the end result you can read here, shameless plug) felt a bit like saying goodbye. Knowing that this was the last of the breed, that we’d never see another film of exactly this ilk again was slightly bittersweet. Or would we see another film like this? I’ll deal with that later….
Adventure Time 2013 Summer Special is just that, a bumper sized comic book annual containing four separate stories by four separate writers. But can such a diverse group of comic book writers and artists capture the charm of the Adventure Time television series? And is it worth picking up for a lazy, summertime read? Geek…
I found July to be a fun month at the theater with “Pacific Rim” and “The Wolverine” leading the charge. Unfortunately, August movies just never seem to be as strong as the other summer months. We have a few anticipated blockbusters and studio holdovers. Then we have some random releases weak enough to fit during…
Expectation can cripple even the greatest artistic projects, and that’s quite unfair when you consider that sometimes expectation can be an unreasonable so-and-so. No one in the world better knows this than Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, a visionary writing/acting/directing trio who’s debut film, Shaun of the Dead, became the movie equivalent of…
With an online game, role-playing game, and even a board game on the horizon, is this the rebirth of the beloved franchise? The Year Of The Firefly “A captain’s goal is simple. Find a crew, find a job, and keep flying…” These words not only described the ethos of Captain Malcolm Reynolds, but also the…
As you may have guessed from title, Flash Point Paradox centers around The Flash, who manages to also vibrate through time and create a paradox. All number of hilarious things are said and done! Right? Because it’s a cartoon and cartoons are always funny. Right? No. You are wrong. This movie is dark. Lights out,…
Before I get into anything, I’d like you all to know that this article’s got a handful of SPOILERS in it concerning the Doctor Who series. If you’re not familiar with events in the show or are not willing to have those events spoiled for you, I’d proceed reading with caution. Top Five Doctor Who…
The last half of season 5 of Breaking Bad is approaching, a high-octane finale which promises to be what show-runner Vince Gilligan had envisioned from the start. Over the past few years, the brain behind Breaking Bad has done a fantastic job of showing Walter White’s slow descent into hardened criminality, until he is unrecognizable…
I’m going to be honest with you, I really don’t care too much for the ‘good’ guys and gals of Geekdom. You may have noticed that all of the Undistressed Damsels so far have been at best ‘chaotic neutral’ or just plain old ‘evil’. But when it comes to Undistressed Damsels, they’re not all bad,…
