Fresh off of Toronto’s FanExpo, I ask geek celebs from Stargate to Twilight to choose their favourite superhero movie… and for someone who created the characters in most of the best ones like Stan “The Man” Lee, it’s a tough call!
We know theirs and now you know mine… but what’s yours?

We thought we’d give our glowing Scott Pilgrim review a solid week as our main event on YourGeekNews.com, but we can no longer contain our giddiness about The Expendables! We never thought we’d see the day that this many action stars would share the screen together, and it comes off as some of the greatest and most brutal action we’ve ever seen. JC & Stevie… you missed the boat, fellas!
You’d never know it from the opening weekend at the Box Office, but Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is one seriously ingenious film. Ingenious from the pacing, to the visuals, to the meta-data, which is to say nothing for the fact that Edgar Wright made an incredible adaptation of the source material at the same time! Whatever you do today, make sure that it includes checking this movie out!
To bring together action stars from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and today for a film with wrestlers, MMA fighters, football players and governors, you need an actor/director/writer whose been a legend for at least the last 40 years… and nobody could do it like Sly. The Expendables looks like a super-violent throwback romp that is sure to have more character than anyone is expecting from the trailers… just look at the first Rambo movie!
Edgar Wright is the kind of director that has gotten a fan following all his own, but when his film gets the concept from a graphic novel as popular as Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim series, you just know something special is going to happen! Watch him and his cast take you into the world of Scot Pilgrim, along with some exclusive snippets of the movie, and some wild remixes of scenes!
M. Night hasn’t made a good movie in a long time… and yet when he was trusted to adapt the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender into a film, he managed to make one of the most faithful adaptations we’ve seen in years! Matt loves the original series, and Nat has never seen it, but Airbender gets a unanimous cheer from the geeks, knocking out a great adaptation, a fun movie, and a Shyamalan movie that wasn’t the Crappening!
After pulling in over $1Billion for Warner Brothers with the Dark Knight, it was pretty nice of them to give $200Million of it back to Christopher Nolan for a little movie he called Inception. Especially since it’s probably Nolan’s finest work, and on its way to possibly being the biggest movie of the summer. The only question is: what happened at the end?
