It’s not a movie per se, but with six episodes in Darabont’s mini-series based on Robert Kirkman’s comics, AMC’s Walking Dead is definitely geeky enough to warrant a thread for us all to chat about it!
And once the DVD comes out in the Spring, we’ll be giving it a Matt + Nat review just like we would for any geeky/genre/comicbook movie!

One look at the newly redesigned lightcycles in Tron, and you know this movie is going to be a wild ride. And it performs surprisingly well as a better-late-than-never sequel that takes advantage of new actors and technology (and pushes it a bit past where it can actually go). But for his first feature film, Kosinski made the most common kind of mistake: story.

Mere words can’t encapsulate the travesty of film that is Skyline. Between abysmal acting, impossible-to-like characters, atrocious dialogue and a story that spends all its time going nowhere, Matt thinks there’s no reason to waste your time other than to see a bigscreen rehash of effects you’ve already enjoyed more in other movies.But Nat even loved the WTF ending sober, so maybe you will, too.

The cast of RED could have all phoned in their performances, and it still would have been some of the finest acting that the action genre has ever seen. Toss in Helen Mirren firing an artillery canon, and this baby is worth catching in the theatre for sure! Just don’t go in expecting to see the Warren Ellis comics on the big screen.

With a cast like Bruce WIllis, Morgan Freeman, Richard Dreyfus, John Malkovich, Ernest Borgnine and Helen Mirren, there’s really no other reason needed to go see this one immediately. But the fact that it’s based on a comicbook from the mind of the iconic Warren Ellis just puts this baby over the top!

When Robert Rodriguez had people more excited about a bogus trailer from 2007 than they were about the sequel to Sin City, he knew he owed it to us to make us a full-length Mexploitation b-movie starring Danny Trejo called Machete. And with that as his goal and Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal and Robert DeNiro on board, he does NOT disappoint!

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!
