Mr. Peabody and Sherman 3D: Is it Worth Your Money?

Mr. Peabody and Sherman 3D: Is it Worth Your Money?

When I heard that Dreamworks was making a movie version of a cartoon I enjoyed as a child, my father enjoyed as a child, and my daughter will hopefully soon enjoy on DVD, I was skeptical to say the least. Dreamworks has always been hit or miss, and always behind Pixar. While I do feel […]

Deadly Class #2: Meet the Enemies and Frenemies

Deadly Class #2: Meet the Enemies and Frenemies

In Deadly Class #2, Rick Remender reminds us all how hard it was to fit in at high school. Marcus’ situation is all the more difficult because he is an unknown, with no pedigree at a school full of assassins. One misstep could result in more than just a few lonely lunches. It could mean […]

300: Rise of an Empire is bloody alright.

300: Rise of an Empire is bloody alright.

300: Rise of an Empire packs more story and blood into 102 minutes than Persians packed into Thermopylae.  What is more, they had more CG blood than water in the Adriatic Sea.  It was almost comical how much blood they had spraying and pouring from severed limbs, I couldn’t help but wonder where they were […]

GeekDad Report: Here Comes Science

This past X-Mass my family was given a CD, They Might Be Giants: Here Comes Science.  Our initial reaction was one of mixed indifference.  Truthfully, receiving a physical CD these days feels a bit odd.  I haven’t bought one myself for a few years now.  It was a happy reminder of my youth, opening that […]

The Walking Dead – Still, had me waiting…with my thumb on fast forward.

The Walking Dead – Still, had me waiting…with my thumb on fast forward.

For the second week in a row, I found myself so bored while watching Still, I had my thumb resting on the fast forward button because I just wanted it to be over. Did I push it? No. But The Walking Dead is slowly shambling toward being queued up on the DVR so I can […]

Non-Stop, when ‘not bad’ is a compliment.

Non-Stop, when ‘not bad’ is a compliment.

Non-Stop was contrived but in spite of itself ultimately not bad. I cannot rave about it, but I can’t really kick it around too much. The overall plot was reminiscent of nearly every other film that has preceded it in this genre with a few quick jerks of the story line to keep it from […]

Adventure Time’s latest episode, Betty, is all kinds of awesome

Adventure Time’s latest episode, Betty, is all kinds of awesome

Betty warms even the frostiest of hearts. Simon’s frantic and desperate attempt to have one last moment with his true love shows that beneath Ice King is a honest and totally sane man. This episode shows how love is such a powerful force. Bella Noche is brought into the land of Ooo by some dubious […]

The Wind Rises to such great heights.

The Wind Rises (Kaze tachinu) is in every respect a beautiful film, a magnificent film for fans of animation, history, and love stories. It is a visual symphony on film. It rises and falls in torrents of beauty and emotion crashing before your eyes. If you allow it, the film will carry you away, and […]

Kevin Costner had 3 Days to Kill, so McG did.

Kevin Costner had 3 Days to Kill, so McG did.

3 Days to Kill was not a bad movie, nor was it a good movie, it lies somewhere between the two.  How far the judgment of good or bad will waver from person to person, and even based on mood.  It is a movie that is tragically hobbled by its director, McG.  Like a teenage […]
