Geek Movie Goodness: Blade Runner: The Final Cut
Monday, December 3rd, 2007This weekend I caught a screening of Blade Runner: The Final Cut, which opened in a whopping twenty theaters around the country to promote the release of (count ‘em!) three different Blade Runner sets on DVD on December 18. The Blade Runner Five-Disc Ultimate Collector’s Edition even comes in a bad-ass stainless steel(ish?) briefcase, because [...]
Geek Movie Goodness: Beowulf IMAX 3D
Sunday, November 18th, 2007When it comes down to it, we’re nothing but a bunch of fancy-pants, hairless apes who are easily enthralled by shiny, fluttering things. And therein lies the saving grace of Beowulf. In IMAX 3D, every scene offers a visual attraction. Don’t misunderstand me, though: some of the attractions come in the form of distractions… but [...]

Seriously… you’ll recognize a lot of elements from [...]
Geek Movie Goodness: 30 Days of Night
Friday, October 19th, 2007Way back in July, I posited several ways in which producers could ruin the 30 Days of Night movie adaptation. I’m pleased to say, my fears were put to rest. A loud, startling, screeching, bloody rest. If you’re into that kind of thing. And if you are, then the flick was a satisfying, but not [...]
Geek Movie Ungoodness: Transformers: The IMAX Experience
Friday, October 5th, 2007I have it on good authority that Ebay exchanged a Transformers-themed home page in a no-cash deal for the auction site’s integral appearance in the movie’s plot. Chevrolet offered extensive advertising cross-promotion in exchange for the Autobots taking the form of shiny, new Chevy cars and trucks. But I bet most people didn’t even register [...]
