Triangle of Sadness
This weekend brought on only one new film due to a very important dance competition being just around the corner, and that movie was Triangle of Sadness. Now we once again went into a film knowing nearly nothing, I had only heard that it was a comedy and that Woody Harelson was in it and quite frankly that's all I needed to hear so we booked our seats and settled in.
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished 2 years ago in GeeksIron-Man, the hero who (no one wanted) saved Marvel
Marvel didn't have a good time in the 90's, the comic book industry was already in decline and the only experience Marvel had in the movies were two cancelled cheap movies and Howard the Duck. Things were going very bad so bad that in 1993 Marvel didn't have much money so they sold the movie rights to their most famous characters and declared bankruptcy!
Halloween 1978 is a true classic
When people look back at certain genres they all have instant classics that come to mind. Horror is no different as the slasher era has gone on to redefine what it means to be a horror film. A few films had inspiration over that change but perhaps none more than Halloween in 1978.
Reel VibesPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "The Redeem Team"
The Redeem Team is a Netflix exclusive sports documentary that came out recently in 2022. I lived through the time of this documentary so I thought why not go back through memory lane and see if this will bring up anything for me. It definitely did and there were so many pop culture and nostalgic things that popped into my head.
Brian AnonymousPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Men in Black 3"
Men in Black 3 came out back in 2012. It's about a decade since it came out and a decade since the previous movie. Yeah it took them 10 years to create a new sequel. What's unexpected about that is that I was surprised they even made a third volume. If you saw my review of the second movie you'd realize that I hated it. I had real apprehensions to watch this movie. It was that bad. Luckily this movie was an about face.

This book is about falling for the guy you shouldn’t and feeling insecure, but managing to stand up for yourself while others doubt you and your worth. The Wrong Bride explores new beginnings, family and, of course, love.

I think often about what Anne must have inwardly thought about her young charge. Catarina Claes, an otome game villainess in one life and a reincarnated high school girl in another life, suffered a pivotal mishap in childhood that sent her down two wildly differing paths. She took a spill over an uneven bit of walkway and hit her head, leaving her with a scar on her forehead. In the first path, she doubled down on her spoiled, noble upbringing and used it as an excuse to manipulate Prince Geordo to an arranged marriage with promising benefits for her, while at the same time sending her down the route of a cruel, antagonistic villainess when she met the otome game protagonist, Maria Campbell. This was the path an unnamed high school girl saw while playing the otome game Fortune Lover, an obsession that inadvertently led to her death in a traffic accident at age 17. She is reborn as Catarina Claes, and upon waking after hitting her head, she was flooded with memories of her past life and the beloved otome game. In the game, Catarina’s life ended early - as her own high school life had - in either death or exile, and she was determined to not let it happen again. Her internal thoughts distracted her to the point Prince Geordo became concerned and decided to take responsibility by proposing marriage, to which Catarina agreed without thinking, only to moments later realize she’d taken the first step on one of Catarina’s potential bad endings.
Izzie IslandheartPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Solo: A Star Wars Story"
Solo: A Star Wars Story came out back in 2018. I was one of the supporters of this movie when it first came out. Then there was a huge backlash from a ton of people concerning this movie. Watching it again I question why people hate this movie so much. This movie didn't deserve the hate and honestly I was hoping to see where it would go.
Brian AnonymousPublished 2 years ago in GeeksThe Boys - Commentary and Analysis
The season opens with some really weird gratuitous nudity, sex and violence. The show is getting bolder as it keeps getting renewed, each season gets a little more gore and sex oriented which I hear is super close to the comics.
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished 2 years ago in GeeksThe Boys - Commentary and Analysis
After too long a wait, I finally watched season 2 of the Boys and I have so many thoughts, all of which are framed around the women of the show because I genuinely do not care about any of these men (except of course for Frenchie). So here we go;
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished 2 years ago in GeeksLord of The Rings: The Rings of Power Series Review (Season 1)
Few fantasy adaptations are as revered as The Lord of The Rings. Between 2001 and 2003, Peter Jackson’s trilogy was a masterclass in fantastical imagination, bringing J.R.R Tolkien’s creation to life in stunning fashion. Some two decades later, Amazon is banking big on this property with The Rings Of Power. It had some potential, but the new series doesn’t amount to anything more than a pretty picture.
Robert CainPublished 2 years ago in Geeks8 Completely Insane Movie Characters and Why I Love Them, An Analysis
Narcissistic, obsessive, sociopathic, psychopathic, just a few of the similarities to be found in the following list of film characters. You might say they are as insanely good as they are insanely bad.
