The much anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, will be released in just over a month. In preparation for the film, and to know what to expect from the director/co-writer James Gunn, I recommend two of his other films: Slither and Super. Slither is a horror/comedy, mainly influenced by older B-movies. The plot focuses on […]

As an avid book reader, I’m sure many people share the feeling I get when I hear news that one of my favorite books being adapted into a film: a potent cocktail of anticipation and dread.  Who will play my favorite character?  Which of my favorite moments will end up on the cutting room floor or […]

There aren’t a lot of coming of age movies that grab my attention. The one’s I remember is Mean Girls, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower (which I saw…because Emma Watson!). However, G.B.F or ‘Gay Best Friend’ is a film I recently watched and it took me by surprise. It captured what being a […]

THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM: THE GAMERS SERIES FINALLY LIVES UP TO ITS POTENTIAL Of all the cool stuff I could talk about to kick off this column, why an obscure DVD of a web series that had a Kickstarter nearly 2 years ago? Two reasons: I love talking about stuff that deserves a wider audience; […]

Full disclosure (because I can’t lie to you guys): my primary motivation for watching this film was to see Dylan O’Brien.  There, I said it!  Judge me if you must, but it doesn’t make it any less true.  But know this…I am not writing this article now to gush about how hot Dylan is and […]

I think John Green described my thoughts on his book best when he wrote, “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are […]

Zombie movies: love them or hate them, they seem to be everywhere these days.  I’m sure you’ve thought of at least one by the time this sentence ends.  Maybe you have a favorite, maybe you hate the thought of them (if that’s you, turn around and run), but you can’t get away from them.  But […]

Ok, so Riddick is supposed to be the culmination of the Chronicles of Riddick film trilogy. But truthfully while it transitions from the ending storyline from the previous film, also named Chronicles of Riddick, and yes had a fantastic cameo appearance of Karl Urban, reprising his role as Commander Vaako, walking out of the theater […]

This going to be my last batch of reviews for a while as I am headed off to Comic Con. Yes, there will be a Hannibal panel. No, Mads won’t be there. But I will! And reporting on the panel is something I plan on doing right here on The Geekiary.  In this installment I […]

Here we are fifteen films into my binge. It’s been an adventure. Mads has been adorable, a badass, well groomed, kind of grungy, altruistic, villainous, sad, more sad, and completely devastatingly sad. Did I mention sad? Because there’s a lot of it. In this installment I’m reviewing Prag, Die Tur, and Tom Merritt. For reviews […]
