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,…
Game of Thrones is a complex puzzle where none of the pieces actually fit together. Conventional wisdom and the literary cues given to us throughout the first three seasons are proven false without warning. It’s as if author George RR Martin is telling us to stop anticipating what will happen because we are wrong. Now…
This Sunday is Father’s Day, the annual tie giving, barbecuing holiday that adorns our June calendars every year. The week before is filled with racked brains trying to figure out something our poppas would actually want. It’s not any easy process. Unless you are in fact a dad and then it’s time to just sit…
There are a lot of films released every year that are sci-fi or fantasy in nature. But not many of them are able to boast being based on a true story. One such supernatural true story in the works has gained some traction after being linked to one of Hollywood’s most prominent leading men. Deadline.com…
Have you stopped crying yet from the “Red Wedding” last week? It definitely took me some time. But Game of Thrones doesn’t leave us with such tragedy during the long off-season. Instead we got this week’s season finale, which wrapped up stories and ultimately gave us a ton of questions to mull over until next…
When I was younger I was under the impression that everyone needed to pick a side with genre movies. I was late to the “Harry Potter” game, a franchise that ended up being my favorite of all, because I chose “Lord of the Rings” and I couldn’t betray my friends from Middle-Earth. The same goes…
Did you happen to see “The Last Stand” starring the can’t-miss pairing of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Johnny Knoxville? Well, guess what. It missed. After the success of “The Expendables” and its sequel the ex-California Governor was supposed to be continuing his Hollywood comeback trail into action stardom. But “The Last Stand” flopped and a few…
For the first time in three years of Game of Thrones, I have left an episode depressed. We learned with Ned’s death in season one that every character’s slaughter is fair game, but that doesn’t make this any easier to handle. A defenseless family betrayed at a wedding feast and a whole story arch wiped…
