The Geek Insider As soon as the screener was available, I logged in to watch and totally judge Random Acts of Kindness. Admittedly, I was waiting to be disappointed. I was convinced that all the good stuff was in the trailer. I was waiting to see if this film was going to be carried by…
Let’s be honest—Aquaman’s just not the kind of superhero people generally make movies about. I grew up watching the original Super Friends cartoons, and all I really remember about him is that he could breathe under water and talk to fish with his mind. And his outfit was kind of dorky. That’s about it. Not…
It’s a Wonderful Life is one of those iconic holiday movies that almost demands a rewatch every December. I first saw the film when I was in college, and I actually wrote an essay about it for my Abnormal Psychology class. This isn’t that piece—that was written more years ago than I care to remember,…
Halloween (Rated R; in theaters everywhere October 19th) I’ll just come right out and say it—the original Halloween movie wasn’t all that good. I can hear the angry mob sharpening their pitchforks outside my window now, but that’s my opinion, and I stand by it. Sure, it was groundbreaking for its time, and it gave…
As parents across the country low-key celebrate the start of the school year, kiddos bid farewell to summer ’18. My little one is at the age where he is begging to go to school so I saw fit to introduce him to the Bruce Coville’s inter-galactic action adventure– Aliens Ate My Homework! Aliens Ate My…
The Happytime Murders (Rated R; in theaters August 24th) Muppets have always held a special place in my heart. Both Sesame Street and the original Muppet Show (yes, I’m that old) played a big role in my childhood development. One taught me the alphabet and basic math, and the other taught me that pigs and…
It doesn’t have the big budget of The Avengers or The Dark Knight and there aren’t any Earth-hating Gods or aliens, but 2015’s The Subjects does bring a unique angle to the question “what superpower would you want to have?” When seven people – oh wait… 8 people (ya gotta watch that Phil fellow) – show up…
Many people are giving the new Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi, a lot of flack. However, I personally think it was one of the best ones yet, save for a couple of elements, such as an unnecessary plot line (but more on that later). Fans Are Annoyed By That Unnecessary Adventure Many original trilogy Star Wars fans aren’t too…
Hopes were high when DC’s newest attempt, Justice League, hit theaters on November 17th. But as reviews have trickled in, it seems DC has let down fans yet again. The comic book empire has not had much luck with film adaptations (besides the Batman series and Wonder Woman). Suicide Squad was laughed out of the theaters…

The best things hands down about the film are its characters and its style. This movie has been compared to Guardians of the Galaxy for its comedy and ensemble cast and Deadpool for its hardcore violence and vulgarity, yet light tone. Which makes sense, but is really unfair because its style is nothing like any other movie….
Seeing as how Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been raking in the dough, it’s likely that most of you have already seen this film – and so you should. Because despite what some of your friends may have told you, despite being lampooned by the mainstream critic circuit, Dawn of Justice is, in…
