There comes a time, in every grown up Geek’s life when the pitter patter of little feet are no longer just made by that tiny robot army you made. They may not be your own, but it’s your sworn responsibility to help your friends raise them properly. It takes a village and our part in…
San Diego Comic Con has been like Nerdvana for us geeks, with announcements such as a Superman and Batman crossover movie, a Godzilla reboot and of The Avengers 2 was finally given a title… The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. The announcement was given by Joss Whedon, Director of The Avengers at Comic-Con’s Hall H…
It still feels like we are a long way from award season, but the Emmy Awards, given for achievement in television, are less than two months away. The nominees were announced last week and there is much for geeks to be happy about. Okay maybe there’s not too much from our favorite genres, but the…
Horror is one of the most polarizing genres in the movie business. The films alienate large groups of moviegoers right off the bat. Children sure aren’t going to watch and many people just don’t like being scared. Yet, that doesn’t mean that horror movies perform poorly. Sure, there are flops, but this is 2013 and…
Batman fans, here is good news. Man of Steel director Zack Snyder has confirmed that the upcoming sequel in the Man Of Steel franchise will feature Gotham’s Dark Knight returning to the big screen. Batman’s presence was confirmed at the Comic-Con in San Diego last week, with Zack Snyder going on record to say that…
Given that her special figure was announced during the San Diego ComicCon sneak peek, it seems only fair to dedicate this week’s Undistressed Damsel to: The Baroness The Baroness Before there was 50 Shades of reasons to reel back from the name ‘Anastasia’ there was Anastasia Cisarovna AKA Anastasia De Cobray. Or, as most…
Do you remember when comic book movies were rare? It was a dark-time in the world. I try not to think about it too much. They came out once in a while, but we didn’t have the conveyor belt effect that we are currently enjoying. “The Avengers” and “The Dark Knight” sit atop the pile…
After months of waiting, Marvel’s big comic book event of the summer, Infinity, is almost here. In less than one month the first of a six-part story arc will launch, giving us what Marvel hopes to be the grandest Avengers story yet. In an attempt to build up the hype, Marvel has released a gripping…
It is entirely possible that the creators of True Blood have finally remembered what made the show so good the first three seasons. Plenty of Lafayette, plenty of Jason doing what Jason does best and actual filling in of back-story. This episode was easily the best episode of the entire season and best of all,…
With all the distressed damsels out there, it seemed only fair to focus on the women in Geekdom that are much more concerned with saving themselves, that with scoring Prince Charming. This week- Cersei Lannister. Creator: George R.R. Martin, or as we call him in our house “The dude that just needs to finish the…
At this point I don’t think it’s possible for Marvel hype to get any bigger. With every new movie announcement or rumor, the superhero train gains more steam. So here we are to feed that fire a little bit. Vin Diesel announced on his Facebook page that he met with Marvel to discuss…something. He doesn’t…
Unless you are watching “Dr. Who,” the chances of your favorite sci-fi/fantasy TV show getting cancelled prematurely are pretty good. I still haven’t gotten over “Firefly” and its short run. Even “Fringe,” which did have a lengthy run, seemed to get the short end of the stick a lot. It’s just the nature of a…
I don’t think it’s a particularly good sign that the third episode of the series was easily the worst episode of the series. At this point, the writers for the show should be getting a pretty good feel for the characters and starting to write them with a little more depth. Instead this episode seemed…
Dismal. Washout. Disappointment. Flop. These are the words being used to describe Disney’s The Lone Ranger, which debuted on Wednesday to a “dismal” opening performance of only $9.7 million at the box office and is estimated to only haul in around $49 million for the entire 5-day weekend. While first hailed as one of the…
Things are heating up as the season rolls. Just like last week, when I thought the show was finally hitting its stride, this week’s episode was even better than the last. Unfortunately, the show is still a far cry from what it used to be, but at least this episode was interesting and didn’t have…
