I put off writing this feature for a few days because I half-expected the freight train of Marvel (and Sony) to immediately announce a new Mary-Jane for “The Amazing Spider-Man 3,” but since that isn’t the case yet, let’s catch you up on the Saga of Mary-Jane Watson. Back in the fall, there was big…
**Spoiler Alert!** Let me begin this review by saying, I have never read World War Z. I have heard exceptional things about it and am familiar with it’s predecessor, The Zombie Survival Guide. One of the things people always say about Max Brook’s novel, is that it tackles the zombie apocalypse in a round-a-bout way…
My first exposure to monster movies came from watching the 1964 film, “Mothra vs. Godzilla” as a child with my dad. The main thing I remember from that experience was my dad trying to convince me that it was actually filmed in color, but everything back then was black and white. Good one dad. But…
Remember Harry Potter? Boy wizard, who magically cleaned out your wallet without you realizing it? Well we are almost two years removed from the final film, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II” and many of the pitfalls we expect to happen in the aftermath of a massive franchise are yet to occur. All…
It’s always interesting watching a television show or a movie that is based on the book. I read Under the Dome a few years ago and when I first read the back cover, looking for the synopsis the first thing that popped into my mind was “Didn’t the Simpsons already do this?” Of course, Stephen…
Recently, LEGO has been expanding its boundaries, from amusing kids and university students (like myself) with their construction toys that give endless possibilities, to appearing on consoles in the form of Batman, Lord of the Rings and soon characters from the Marvel universe will be turned into bricks. Now LEGO is stretching further into entertainment…
After last week’s episode, I went into last night wondering just how much crazy action we were going to see. The season opened up with several loud bangs and it seemed as if the the show’s creators understood they needed a bit of a slowdown. Had this been the kind of slowdown that filled out…
As a female who grew up watching Star Wars, I can attest to the fact that Princess Leia was a significant and positive role model. Her quick wit, her feisty nature, and her strong, fearless leadership made her quite the revolutionary woman (and she won Han’s heart, so what pre-teen girl wouldn’t want to be…
With the release of “World War Z,” we have zombie fever. Whether it’s “Dawn of the Dead” or “Warm Bodies,” we can’t go too long without getting a new look at everyone’s favorite fictional (?) monsters. Most of the time the zombies fit the bill. They have green complexion, lurch along and eat brains. But…
Here at Geek Insider we love Zombies. There is never a conversation to be had that doesn’t include Zombies or Zombie survival. Our extensive Zombie survival guides have grown significantly over the years as Zombies have seemingly evolved. So, to celebrate Zombie Friday, here are some of our favorites along with how to survive if…
It’s Zombie Day here at Geek Insider in celebration of the newly released movie World War Z. Everyone loves a good zombie movie, but today we’re going to do things a little differently and take a look at some of the very best Marvel Zombies comic book characters! For those who don’t know, the idea…
Before I get into the meat of this review, I should warn you that while I am a big time comic book and comic book movie fanboy, I’ve never been much of a Superman fanboy. The character always seemed a little too altruistic to me, to the point of being unbelievable. Having said that, I…
Short version of this review: It has fart guns. Watch it! Longer version of this review: This movie made me cry with happiness within the first 5 minutes and they hadn’t even gotten to the fart guns yet. A sequel of something popular is always a risk, especially when it comes to cartoons. Something that…
It used to be that the return of True Blood was an exciting time of year. I wanted to get excited for last night’s season premiere, “Who are you, really?” I sat down in front of the television with a beer and a bucket of popcorn and got ready to welcome the return of people…
I grew up reading (and believing in) the Young Jedi Knights series, so the rumors circulating that two 17-year old twins are going to star in Episode VII pretty much stops my heart dead. For those of you who aren’t getting chills in your bones, let me explain: the two twins are Jacen and Jaina,…
