Dawn of the Dead Aaron Duran
I will admit that I had MAJOR bias going into this movie. Everyone knows my feelings about movie remakes. It’s one thing to remake a movie if you are attempting to bring it closer to the original source material (like the upcoming Charlie and the Chocolate Factory); but in this...

Better the Second Time Around Aaron Duran
Ugh, it’s around 1:30 in the afternoon and I’ve only been up about 30 minutes. Anyone who knows me understands that this is a big deal. But, it was RPG time last night (and this morning) and so sleep was not attempted until a few hours ago. Plus, the friggen...

The Power of Bruce (aka, The Mawn) Aaron Duran
Okay, so it’s been a few days since I added to my little rant fest here. And, this installment won’t be that impressive, nor will it be about D&D (I know, that makes you sad). Give a Geek a break, been moving all week and I can barely get my...

A So Very Sad Admission Aaron Duran
Ah the guilty pleasure, we all have them. It doesn’t matter who we are, or how classy we claim to be; when we are all alone and no one can mock us, we pop in that certain CD, movie, or Hot Pocket. I am no different, but my burden is...

Time to be Honest Aaron Duran
There is nothing worse then watching a remastered version of a film you loved as a youth only to find that it really wasn’t that good of a movie. Such was the case when I took a gander at the release of the 80s classic, Flight of the Navigator. Sure...

Westender Aaron Duran
With it’s release a little over two years ago, Westender really is one of those films that I should have reviewed a long time ago. I quite vividly remember reading the various write ups on the film during its production and how locals were proud to see Oregon landscapes used...

Courage & Stupidity Derek M. Koch
When Jaws was released in the 1970s, the motion picture industry would be forever changed in two ways. First, Jaws became the initial definition of "summer blockbuster." And second, the film's director - Steven Spielberg - would be propelled to permanent prominence as a cinematic force to be reckoned...

Undead - Spoiler Free DVD Review Aaron Duran
Filmed in 2003 by Aussie filmmaking brothers Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig; Undead is the low budget apocalyptic movie about zombies taking over...wait, it is a commentary on... um, no, its about aliens invading... course, it is also about a young woman trying to... Crap, I don’t know what the...

Look, Up in the Sky – The Amazing Story of Superman Aaron Duran
Yes, I can't help it. Your friendly neighborhood Geek is in full Superman mode. Thankfully, unlike the fandom that whipped up around Revenge of the Sith, there is little to none trepidation that the Bryan Singer film is going to suck. Even the "bad" reviews of the film (of which...

Transformers: The Movie - 20th Anniversary DVD Aaron Duran
Okay, I really should get this out of the way now… Ahem… Ready? No, are you really ready? Good. You got the TOUCH... You got the POOOOOOWAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!...

Superman II – The Richard Donner Cut Aaron Duran
Ah, the film movie Geeks have talked about in hushed tones ever since the Richard Lester film hit the silver screens. Hidden, like so many bottled cities of Kandor, we believed the footage to be lost forever. However, some were true believers. Some who knew that the day would come...

Superman: Doomsday - Spoiler Free KaraokeFanboy
Dateline: San Diego Comic Con DVD premiere: July 26, 2007, 8 p.m. Superman must be a terribly challenging character to write. On one hand, Superman is Earth's first and most powerful superhero, vulnerable only to Kryptonite, magic, and women whose names begin with "L," so devising an original, truly original...
