Lifetime Review: 'Her Boyfriend's Deadly Secret'
Sadie (Kalen Bull) is a newly single high school student, having recently broken up with her boyfriend Jack McAllister (Carter W. Glade). While she's still reeling from the heartbreak, it doesn't take her long to catch the eye of someone new. Handsome and charming, Gavin Barett (Anthony Carro) connects with Sadie right away and the two begin falling hard. But not everyone is happy with Sadie's new boyfriend. Jack couldn't be more incensed while Sadie's mother Taryn (Alicia Leigh Willis) worries Gavin is a bad influence on her daughter.

This is perhaps one of the best Warhammer books I have ever read, and Mike Brooks has demonstrated what is perhaps so uniquely enjoyable about this fictitious universe. This is, of course, the innate chaos (not to be confused with Chaos) of the 40k universe and how even those with great personal power can be brought low on the whim and scheming of various individuals. And oh boy, is there a lot of the latter in Brutal Kunnin.
David HeymanPublished 3 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Venom: Let There Be Carnage"
Venom: Let There Be Carnage has recently come out. It's the sequel to the original 2018 Venom movie. While the first movie was okay I had some high hopes for the second movie. The venom we remember from the old comic books was a violent and edgier character. His violence was exacerbated with the addition of Carnage. That's what I was expecting anyways. In a way I kind of got what I wanted but it was exactly what I was expecting.
Brian AnonymousPublished 3 years ago in GeeksDid del Toro make another winner?
What do you do when you’re in college in 2015 and don’t want to stay at home while your roommates get trashed? You go to the movies of course! It was around Halloween and the people I lived with at the time were planning on getting really drunk. I was definitely underage and didn’t have a desire for alcohol yet and so me and my then-boyfriend dressed up and saw Crimson Peak at the local movie theater. With this having happened 6 years ago, it’s been a while since I’ve watched it so I decided to give it another go.
Grace LinnPublished 3 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Stittsville on Patrol: Season 1"
Stittsville on Patrol: Season 1 is a surprise series on the Bell Fibe cable network. It's not readily available on streaming when it feels like it should be. As much as I love this show I don't think it'll get too far because it's so regional I doubt anyone is going to understand some of the jokes.
Brian AnonymousPublished 3 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Squid Game"
Squid Game is possibly Netflix's 2021 hit of the year. The last time I heard this much hype about a Netflix original series was probably Bridgerton. I tried watching that series and I didn't really like it. Although the series before that show with the most hype was The Queen's Gambit and I loved that show. All this to say, I was hoping it would be as good as The Queen's Gambit.
Brian AnonymousPublished 3 years ago in GeeksTrue Blood: A Wasted Potential
First of all, I just wanted to get something straight. I love the genres such fantasy, supernatural and horror and anything that has vampires, witches, werewolves, and wizards. I will watch any tv show, movie, and read any book that has those kinds of genres. You can call me a nerd because I enjoy watching these things and that is okay. That’s the reason why I even chose to watch this show.
Janay EaleyPublished 3 years ago in GeeksThrough Adult Eyes
Toy Story 3 offers childlike fantasy and exploration while confronting complex and mature themes. Appealing to vastly different audiences in the same plot line, Toy Story 3 goes beyond entertainment and delivers profoundly relatable life experiences. According to Peter Bradshaw, “Toy Story 3 is brutally adult with brutally adult themes: The origin of evil in childhood pain, the death of childhood and, well, just death.”

James Bond: No time to die - Spoiler Review The long awaited Bond sequel is finally here! Does it live up to Daniel Craig's previous films? Or is No Time to Die, not worth your time? Well dear reader, I am a massive James Bond fan, so I know what makes a good Bond film, and a bad one. I will be spoiling parts of the film, as I like to be as detailed and constructive as possible. With that said, I hope you enjoy my review. I will be going through the events of this film step by step, while pointing out things I liked and disliked about each scene.

Yana AleksPublished 3 years ago in Geeks Book Review: Tomes, Scones, and Crones by Colleen Gleason
I was given a free e-copy of this novel by NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. At forty-eight, Jacqueline Finch has a nice, easy life with few responsibilities: she’s been a librarian in Chicago for twenty-five years, she doesn’t have a husband, children, or pets, and she’s just coasting along, enjoying her books and a small flower garden now that she’s over the hill. That is, until the Universe (helped by three old crones) has other ideas. All at once, Jacqueline’s boring life is upended, and the next thing she knows, she’s heading off to Button Cove to start a new life as the owner of Three Tomes Bookshop. The bookstore is a darling place, and Jacqueline is almost ready to be excited about this new opportunity until Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Danvers show up. Somehow, the literary characters of Sherlock Holmes’s landlady and Rebecca deWinter’s creepy and sardonic housekeeper are living persons who work at the bookshop. Not only does Jacqueline have to contend with them—and the idea that people regularly eat pastries while reading books in her store!—but the morning after she arrives, the body of a dead man is found on her property. Things start to get even more strange after that: Jacqueline is befriended by three old women who bear a startling resemblance to the Witches Three from Macbeth, an actual witch shows up at her bookshop and accuses Jacqueline of killing her brother, and the two women who own businesses across the street seem determined to befriend Jacqueline. And then there’s the police detective with the very definite hot-Viking vibe who shows up to investigate the dead body. The next thing Jacqueline knows, her simple life is no longer quiet and unassuming, and she’s got crones, curses, and crocodiles to deal with. And when a new literary character appears on the scene, things start to get even more hairy and Jacqueline is suddenly faced with a horrible life and death situation that will totally push her out of her comfort zone if she’s brave enough to let it. After all, isn’t forty-eight too late for an old dog to learn new tricks? (Fantastic Fiction synopsis)
