Kaylee HenricksonPublished 6 years ago in GeeksSpoiled Rotten—'Venom' (2018)
TL:WR—Ignore the critics if you’re a superhero movie fan, especially if you follow the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and/or are a fan of Tom Hardy, and see Venom on the big screen; all others skip this flick for better choices currently playing at a theater near you. 3/5 STARS but a week from now I'll probably wish I gave it less.
Glen KennerPublished 6 years ago in GeeksNot the Ending I Expected
Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. How could something so cute and adorable be a damn evil? I am in shock to find out at the last episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that the character named Cozy Glow (a young pegasi filly that is based off of the legendary child actress Sherley Temple, you could see it with the hair and facial expressions) is a villain I didn’t want to believe it at first when the character introduced the first time in season eight, episode 12 “Marks for Effort” when the Cutie Mark Crusaders help Cozy glow with her friendship homework. I saw in Cozy Glow had Twilight's cutie mark in her eyes, but I ignored it. Then I notice she was appearing way too lovely and always looking to be sticking her damn nose where it didn’t belong to mention she is pushy with the other creature characters telling them that no matter what they do every pony will see them as a creature to fear. I didn’t understand why she thought friendship was the power that she needed to have to dominate all of Equestria.

Danny DuffPublished 6 years ago in Geeks'Venom' Movie Review
Venom is a character that I've been a fan of since childhood. He is an alien parasite that bonds with an ex reporter named Eddie Brock, turning him into nightmarish version of the Marvel superhero Spider-Man which is a remarkably cool idea for a movie. That being said, I haven't enjoyed a Sony Pictures made Spider-Man film since Spider-Man 3 back in 2007 so my expectations for this film were moderate. The best thing I can say about Venom is that it goes for it. This film isn't afraid to be incredibly goofy and ridiculous most of the time, especially Tom Hardy's comedic performance as Eddie Brock. At times, Hardy reminded me of Jim Carrey's energetic performances in his heyday. However, most of the performances feel phoned in and done for a paycheck. Michelle Williams knows she can do much better but this superhero film could get her more money and notoriety then ever before so she just does half the effort she normally would. The average performances don't feel in tune with the rest of the wild film. Jenny Slate is given next to nothing and while I'm usually a fan of Riz Ahmed, his villain character was useless and not threatening whatsoever. The climactic fight in the film was pretty bad, with the camerawork and the unconvincing CGI making the fight hard to comprehend.

Trevor WellsPublished 6 years ago in Geeks'Get Out' and the Black Renaissance of the 2010s
Many would say that we are currently in the middle of a new black renaissance in terms of film and television. Black artists like Jordan Peele, Lena Waithe, Ryan Coogler, Issa Rae and Ava Duvernay have built platforms that have put them on the same level of consideration as white artists through films such as Get Out, Black Panther and Girls Trip, and shows such as Insecure and The Chi. They have proven that black creativity can generate just as strong numbers as white creativity, if not stronger (as seen with Black Panther). However, many might also argue that this isn’t the first black renaissance that we’ve experienced in American media. The blaxploitation era in the 70s is often considered to be the birth of African American cinema. The 1990s are also frequently mentioned as a black renaissance for television in particular, with so many iconic sitcoms produced by notable black figures in entertainment. But the black renaissance of the 2010s might be the most important black renaissance in American history.
RJ ReynoldsPublished 6 years ago in GeeksJerry Maguire - Review
I think that out of all the Tom Cruise films I have seen, this is my favorite performance of his. Now, as of the time that I am writing this, I haven't seen Born on the Fourth July or Magnolia yet, but here, I see Tom Cruise as an actor in a story rather than Tom Cruise going on his many adventures playing Tom Cruise. There is a moment where Jerry Maguire (the character, not the movie) is fired from a job and you see Tom Cruise dive into the Nicholas Cage realm of acting and you know what, I dug it. During the scene, Cruise plays it pretty calm in the smooth Tom Cruise kind of way, but you can tell that his character is one interruption away from losing it. For little brief moments, those little crazy moments slip out and it's great.
Brandon WettigPublished 6 years ago in Geeks'Bad Times at the El Royale' A Review
Before you start, I know the subtitle to this review is shit, so before you start criticising me, go fuck yourself. Now we have that out of the way, when I first saw the trailer for Bad Times at the El Royale I was instantly intrigued. Presenting a stellar cast and a cool setting, Bad Times was a film for which I had some very high hopes, and after seeing it this Friday, I'm very glad to say that the high hopes were comfortably satisfied.
