Geek Hard Podcast: Episode 269
On this episode we review Pixels and talk with cartoonist Gillian G and author Adrienne Kress of The Secret Loves of Geek Girls.
Pixels Shouldn’t Offend Gamers, It Should Offend Everyone
Pixels has more respect for classic video game characters than it does for women, and that's a much better reason to hate the film.
Thought Bubble: Adam Sandler Isn’t the Bad Guy
Pixels may not be good, but it's not the travesty some would make it out to be.
The Cobbler Review
The Cobbler is one of the stranger films to come out of Hollywood in recent history, it's a bit of train wreck that's hard not to stare at even if you know you shouldn't.
Home Entertainment Review: Men, Women, and Children
Men, Women, and Children (Jason Reitman, 2014) – Jason Reitman is a tough director to pin down. He clearly wants to be taken seriously and often attempts to dive into dark subject matter. Yet, he’s also a crowd-pleaser who tugs on emotions manipulatively and craves populist response/box office. So that leads to muddled movies from […]

Top Five is the best use of writer, director, and leading man Chris Rock's talents on the big screen to date.

Much like Richard Pryor before him, Hollywood producers saw a brilliant, honest, and vicious stand-up comic and cast Rock in mugging slapstick roles unsuited to his talents. […]
TIFF 2014: The Cobbler Review
The Cobbler Special Presentations I only have 300 words or less to explain The Cobbler, but I doubt I could adequately convey anything about it in less than 30,000 words. How else would one describe one of the most original and bafflingly crazy misfires you’ve ever seen? Like Ishtar, it’s a film that will someday […]
TIFF 2014: Men, Women, & Children Review
Men, Women, & Children Special Presentations Despite chronically lapsing into the kind of melodrama that only parents who would bubble wrap their kids to keep them from from getting hurt would love, this story of the internets and the interconnectedness of our daily wired lives told through the microcosm of a small Texas town represents […]
TIFF Announces First of Many 2014 Selections
TIFF didn't announce an opening night film alongside today's announcements of Galas and Special Presentations for their 2014 festival this September, but they announced plenty to get people excited for the event.
Blended Review
Though it takes a painfully long 40 minutes to even get to its point and to have any fun, the unbeatable comedic teaming of Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore rescues Blended and makes it one of the comic actors more tolerable efforts in years.
