Best geek movies throughout history.
Pauline Kael. Top Story - July 2025.
Sometimes I pretend to be a 1940s screenwriter. My imaginary ego goes on a trip to tell people about the magic of cinema and the hard work that produces a movie. How you need a writer’s room, money, star power and a way to hoodwink studio executives, because all they care about is money and I’m trying to make art. In 1940s Hollywood, I’m trying to establish cinema as an American artform, with carefully crafted plots, new characters, and risk-taking directors.

The Devil’s Heir: A Chilling Journey Through the Omen Tetralogy
There is a particular species of quiet dread that murmurs rather than screams. It waits its ground rather than rushing towards you. This quiet fear is evident in the Omen series, which comprises four unsettling movies. It rests in your head and grows like a black presence hiding under your bed—a reminder that evil is not always explosive. It sometimes just appears.

Reviewing the Long-Awaited "Happy Gilmore 2"
My name is Clyde E. Dawkins. The "E" stands for Earl, my actual middle name. Though as I love to say, my middle name is patience. I've been accustomed to waiting a long time for things I've wanted to see so badly. I waited 15 years for a pennant. I waited 21 years for a Stanley Cup. And added to that list: I waited 29 years for a sequel to an iconic comedy classic.

"Ballerina," "Wall to Wall," and "Brick": Brief and Not-So-Brief Opinions: Part 20
Brick (Netflix), Ballerina, Wall to Wall (Netflix) .… The 'brief and not-so-brief opinions' articles are my outlet to rant about or appreciate movies, shows and their elements. I will express my thoughts while watching and after or only after watching, it depends. I will not be rating. These are not spoiler-free for the most part, and no research will be made for or about them (unless it's out of curiosity or accidental, which would be mentioned). They are in no particular order of recent watching as well. However, the opinions are based on the order in which the movie or series is viewed (for the most part). This wouldn't be as structured or detailed, and there would be no set number of picks per article. It would be just as things go. It is intended to be casual. So think…conversations about movie plots, characters, topics, or something like that.

The First Film to Win an Oscar: Wings (1927)
Before the glitz of the red carpet, before Meryl Streep collected her first golden statue, and before movies spoke a single word—there was Wings. In a time when cinema was still discovering its voice, one film soared above the rest and etched its name into history. Wings (1927) wasn’t just the first Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards—it was a breathtaking war epic that proved film could be more than entertainment. It could be art.

She needs to be 14, he can be 40
Hello hello, I was watching this documentary the other day called Pretty baby. Where we follow the story of Brooke Shields and her career as a young girl in Hollywood. If the name doesn't ring a bell let me help you with two words: Blue lagoon. Do you remember now the movie about two kids stranded on a desert island? And the girl that was always showing her bossoms? That was Brooke at 14/15 years old. Her male co star tho? 18 years old, still young yes but not an underaged showing his bare body.
