AMAZING SPIDER-MAN PREVIEW: Rebooting Already? We’d Better Be VERY Amazed.

A Spider-Man Movie with no Tobey Maguire? You’ve got Nat’s interest. No Snaggletooth as Mary Jane? Alright, Matt’s on board too. Sony reboots the web-head with a villain we never really got to see in Sam Raimi’s trilogy (a page out of Nolan’s book?), and a love interest that was drastically mishandled in Spider-Man 3. With an emphasis on the mysterious disappearance of the Parkers and Peter’s destiny, The Amazing Spider-Man actually looks pretty good, despite being a too-soon-to-make-sense reboot. But Marvel characters do that a lot, don’t they?

PROMETHEUS REVIEW: Disappointment, Distilled 30 Years


It’s no secret that Fox made Ridley Scott shoehorn an Alien storyline into his original idea for Prometheus. And it’s also no secret what happens in the entire movie has been shown to you if you watch the trailer. So what happens when you watch the movie as an Alien fan? You pay $20 for the IMAX 3D extended 2-hour version of the trailer and come away feeling kinda ripped off. At least that’s what happened to us. What about you? The worldwide release is upon us, so let those spoilers fly!

D.N.E.: DO NOT ERASE PREVIEW: Sci-Fi, Matt Campagna Style?

Prometheus, what?

The premiere of the trailer for Matt’s new Sci-Fi short film “D.N.E.: Do Not Erase” was LIVE on the Nat & Marie Show! Lucky viewers tuned in at 9EST for their first glimpse of the trailer featuring Battlestar Galactica’s Richard Hatch and the Music of Bear McCreary… but now you can catch it right here on Your Geek News!

What’s this Sci-Fi film all about? Here’s the official synopsis:

When Brian’s graduate thesis on Time Travel costs him the love of his life, he forces himself to choose the best way to live out the rest of his days.

So there’s time travel tom-foolery involved, plus some serious Battlestar Galactica pedigree with Bear McCreary, Richard Hatch as well as BSG’s science advisor Kevin Grazier all involved…
