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!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 is easily the darkest film in the series, but as half a movie, it’s tough to judge on its own merit. We both loved it to death, but we’ve also BOTH read all the books at this point. What did you think?

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?

Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe make a great team. Just look at Gladiator. Really. We mean it, skip Robin Hood and just go watch Gladiator. This movie is so BARELY a story of Robin Hood, it hardly deserves the name, and winds up being little more than a re-tread of Scott’s previous epic work. Everyone phoned it in on this one, folks; don’t waste your time.

We couldn’t have been more blown away by Kick-Ass. A top-notch story, great performances (especially
Chloe Moretz as Hit-Girl), incredible humour and a surprisingly meaty film-going experience were disguised as a goofy superhero comedy by Lionsgate’s one-dimensional advertizing campaign. If you haven’t seen Kick-Ass, and you can take some gruesome violence and potty-mouthed humour, you owe yourself a night out at the movies to let Matthew Vaughn and Mark Millar Kick your Ass!

With with Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, the Incredible Hulk’s pulse-pounder of a director, Louis Leterrier has managed to round up some of finest thespians to play the Gods of Mount Olympus and added to that the heir-apparent to the action-superstar mantle in Sam Worthington, all to be able to tell one of the oldest stories in Greek Mythology, and to remake the 1981 Clash of the Titans. This one already seems like a winner just from the names involved and from what we’ve seen in trailers, so take a look at six exclusive scenes from the movie as well as interviews with the cast and crew to judge for yourself!

Tim Burton definitely pushed even his own imagination to a new level and a new dimension. But did any of Lewis Carroll’s legendary work of fiction make it to the silver screen intact? Characters seem to come across true to form, albeit a bit more Scottish, but Tim Burton is true to his word when he claimed this would be an entirely new story for Alice… far from an adaptation in plot and in spirit.
