FilmSnob Reviews.comPublished 7 years ago in GeeksGratuitous Excess: Baz Luhrmann's 'The Great Gatsby'
The greatest novel of the American dream (in my opinion) is F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. It's sad and sweet and gets read once a year as I sit on the shores of Long Island, beach chair in tow and getting roasted by the sun just to find out if it doesn't end the same way. (Spoiler--Gatsby still dies. I'd apologize for that, but if you haven't read it by now, shame on you).
Marina Caitlin WattsPublished 7 years ago in GeeksWhy the Channel 'NowThis Nerd' is Doomed to Fail
I know a lot of people are angry about the launch of the "new" YouTube channel, NowThis Nerd, and I want to explain to those who don't understand why that is the case. In 2013, Philip DeFranco launched a channel called SourcefedNERD, where hosts Steve, Meg and Trisha spoke about everything nerd related. The topics ranged from TV shows to movies to comic books to board games, and over the years the lists of hosts and personalities grew. This past year SourcefedNERD celebrated their 1 millionth subscriber. Then on March 20th, it was announced that Group Nine Media decided that SourcefedNERD would be cancelled. The final video on the channel was released on March 24th and that was the end of it.

FilmSnob Reviews.comPublished 7 years ago in GeeksEye in the Sky Brings Drone Warfare Home
According to a 2015 report from The Intercept, nearly 90% of people killed by drone warfare were not the intended target. But Barack Obama’s cool made the cognitive dissonance so easy that his supporters suspended disbelief as a means to overlooking America’s deadly Eye in the Sky. The film of the same name with Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman and Aaron Paul does at least give us pause and presents a potential scenario of how a course of action plays out on legal, moral and political terms.

FilmSnob Reviews.comPublished 7 years ago in GeeksSecond Sight: The Talented Mr. Ripley
It occurs to me that even seventeen years after the fact, it might not behoove me to discuss in too much detail the precise state I was in during the creation of this review. Suffice it to say it was not a condition of sobriety, and in the years since, I’ve often wondered: does the movie hold up? Can I actually stand by this review? And now I must face the question head on. Hold on a minute.
