Over the past several years, Western popular culture has seen an explosion in interest for the fantasy genre, erupting in 2011 when HBO premiered the television drama Game of Thrones. In the history of television, the popularity that Thrones has reached is unrivaled. The drama series and the books it is based on have both been praised for their intricate weaving of many plotlines, genres, and thematic specialties. As with any popular culture phenomena, Game of Thrones was privileged enough to have their own creative platform in which they can perform social critiques. While most of these criticisms are placed in a medieval and/or fantasy context, many lessons provided by Thrones are still relevant to its twenty-first century fan base.

Cheryl E PrestonPublished 4 years ago in GeeksBest Horror Movies Based on Real Life and True Crime Stories
In actuality, this might be better titled, best true crime horror movies that I can actually stomach. Not that the ones dissected aren’t deserving and universally acknowledged. But the horror movies listed afterwards are just too startlingly real for me and would inflict permanent damage to determine if they measure up.

Cheryl E PrestonPublished 4 years ago in GeeksA Filmmaker's Review: “Dr Zhivago” (1965)
A film based on a book by Boris Pasternak which itself has had many things based upon it, most recently the book “The Secrets We Kept” by Lara Prescott that deals with the turbulent history behind the book. But nothing quite like this film has presented us with a physical display of what this book means to classic literature and what this film means to cinema history. One of the considerably great epics of the 1960s, it stands alongside “Lawrence of Arabia” (1962) for its wide shots of cold and snowy Russia, moving into the mountains and the large, open city streets normally packed full of people with discerning political views. It is a spectacular display of cinematic excellence and the overture at the beginning sets a great tone for the next wonderful piece of storytelling. The contrasting colour schemes teach us about the ways Russia is changing and the popularity of certain colour schemes slowly adapted by certain characters means that this is a permanent and very quick change, but not one that is happy - instead it is full of civil war and with each step towards the Russian Revolution, this film sheds a new light on the faults and fumbles of both sides and the rights and wrongs of the Russian political system. All this sets a backdrop for a turbulent love affair between two people who are married to others in this epic story of love and war.

Tammy ReesePublished 4 years ago in GeeksA review of Midnight Sun
Not even a full paragraph in and I have to call Weirdo on something. In the Twilight canon, it is often mentioned that vampires are always always always cold. Like, big old blocks of perfectly sculpted ice. But here, Eddie boy says that his skin had cooled to match the air around him. Can’t work that way. Either Pires are heat sinks that are always freezing, or their temperature can change based on the temperature around them. Can’t be both.
