The Northman and the Meteoric Rise of Nordic Fantasy
The fantasy genre has been on an interesting journey since the turn of the millennium. In the 2000s, it was all about traditional Tolkien-style fantasy, spearheaded by the Lord of The Rings trilogy from Peter Jackson. For years, it would set the blueprint for big-budget epics going forward. At the turn of the 2010s, a new sub-genre entered the scene, Nordic Fantasy, which hails from Scandinavian society. While it utilises similar elements, namely a mixture of swords and sorcery, this version is defined by its setting and elements of real history.

Jason Ray MortonPublished 2 years ago in GeeksTitanic, the Ship of Dreams: A Marxist Criticism Approach
The film begins with Brock Love, a treasure hunter, leading a search for a rare diamond necklace known as the Heart of the Ocean, but they are unable to locate the necklace. Instead, they discovered a drawing of a girl wearing the necklace they had been searching for. Rose Calvert was brought aboard Shekel, the research vessel, and began to talk about her experiences on the Titanic. The retro scene began with a crowded and ecstatic crowd waiting to board the magnificent Titanic, which included first-class passengers Rose Dewitt Butterfat, her mother Ruth, and his fiance, Caledonia Hockney. Rose contemplated suicide by jumping from the ship's rail, distressed by the engagement. She met Jack Dawson, an impoverished artist who demoralized her and kept her from going off the rails. As a reward, Cal Hockney invited Jack to supper with the first-class passengers. Rose and Jack formed a tenuous connection after the dinner, despite Ruth and Cal's reservations about him, and Rose secretly joined a third-class party with Jack. Rose initially denied Jack since she was aware of her fiance's and mother's displeasure, but she subsequently discovered that he preferred him to Cal. She took Jack into her state room and asked him to draw her wearing only the diamond necklace Cal had given her. Following their escape from Cal's bodyguard, they observed the ship collide with an iceberg. Rose, on the other hand, saw Rose's disrespectful note and decided to smuggle the jeweler into Jack's pocket with the help of his security, Mr. Love joy. With that, Jack was handcuffed and taken to the master-at-arms' office. Rose, on the other hand, declined to board the lifeboat with her mother and instead decided to save Jack. They rejoined with Cal after saving him, and together with Jack, they encouraged Rose to board the lifeboat. Rose jumped in the middle as she lowered her lifeboat to return to Jack. They returned to the boat deck after overcoming various hurdles, and the ship split in half. Jack assisted Rose in boarding a wooden panel that is only buoyant enough for one person in the water. Rose did not live long since he practically froze to death, but Jack did, thanks to his strong heart. After the Old Rose threw the Heart of the Ocean into the sea, Rose was reunited with Jack in the Titanic's Grand Staircase while being applauded by the people who died in the disaster.

As a filmmaker, Christopher Nolan always wants to walk a fine line. If there's one fundamental theme that suffuses his entire filmography
Could Jack and Rose have survived together in Titanic?
Although exciting, the end of Titanic has already generated several discussions among fans who are unhappy with the fate of the couple.
Georgenes MedeirosPublished 2 years ago in Geeks'The Batman' Ending, Barry Keoghan's Villain Cameo Explained As Movie Hits HBO Max
The Batman arrived on HBO Max on Monday, with Robert Pattinson donning Bruce Wayne's iconic cowl and beating up Gotham City's criminals in an intense adventure set in the early days of his vigilante career. In writer-director Matt Reeves' movie, Batman faces off against the wildly creepy Riddler (Paul Dano) as the puzzle-obsessed supervillain targets the city's sleazy elites.
The Enormous Frustration of THE BATMAN
Spoilers for The Batman (2022) follow. Good Batman stories have competing theories of justice. The villains have their theories of justice that put Batman's idea of justice to the test. In The Dark Knight (2008) this is explicitly stated: the Joker thinks justice is chaos, Two-Face thinks justice is chance. Everything they do is driven by these view points and it makes for a very compelling story.
Buck HardcastlePublished 2 years ago in GeeksMovie Review: Confidently Weird, 'Stanleyville' is Wildly Intriguing
Stanleyville is a strange dark comedy that I imagine will get better on a second viewing. I say that because the movie is dense and strange and yet it contains riches that I imagine I might uncover with another viewing. Stanleyville is the feature length debut from director Maxwell McCabe Lokos and it is a statement of weird and fascinating purpose. Set in one location and proceeding in the fashion of Squid Game, a series of games that may or may not kill the participants, the film maintains a strangely light tone amid the potential for death at any moment.
Sean PatrickPublished 2 years ago in GeeksSuperman Movie Review
The first time we see Superman in quite a while red, blue and yellow uniform is almost an hour into "Superman." Perhaps the producers concurred with Spielberg's popular explanation that "Jaws" would work better the more he kept the shark off the screen. That implies the film doesn't open like most hero motion pictures or James Bonds with an electrifying pre-title succession. Certainly, it opens in the world Krypton with his dad Jor-El setting him up to be sent off into space. Be that as it may, those aren't activity scenes; they give weight to the history each hero requires.

With cascades of high-pitched screams and buckets of red syrup-style blood, if you don't love a good slasher flick you may as well be dead already.
