Everything old will soon be new (or at least newish) again in the DC Comics Universe (DCU). It’s been months since DC announced that its fictional universe would be rebooted in September, and now it’s almost upon us. The final days of the old DCU have played out through August. It’s a wrap. The lights… Read More Here Comes the Nu DCU
So, I’ve been re-watching X-Men Evolution on Netflix, and it’s a pretty good show, opposed as I usually am to the “youthening” of characters. But there’s one thing that has been bugging me while watching it, and I just put my finger on it. While they’ve got a relatively good mix of ethnicities in the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #184 – Class in X-men Evolution
Fright Night is a remake of a 1985 film of the same name, and can be summed up thusly: solid cast, lifeless remake. After teenager Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) discovers his new neighbor Jerry Dandridge (Colin Farrell) is a vampire, he recruits stage magician Peter Vincent (David Tennant) to help him put a stake in… Read More Review: Fright Night
I reviewed the first issue of Jeff last December after ZomBcon, and really enjoyed it. Recently, Creator’s Edge Press sent me the Jeff Graphic novel in pdf form, and the soundtrack which includes Seattle bands you’ve heard me talk about before, like Smokejumper and Go! Fight! Win! You’ll be able to get it from your… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #182 – Jeff the Graphic Novel – Creator’s Edge Press
The books, not the movie. Dorothy spends far too much time cringing in the movie. The books, however, are superb, with an adventurous Dorothy shedding few, if any tears (I think she does cry a bit in the first book, largely worrying that her aunt and uncle miss her) and facing adventure head on. Basically,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #181 – The Wizard of Oz
I’ve followed Jim C. Hines on Livejournal for quite some time, and I’ve been meaning to pick up his books, so I was tickled pink when he asked me if I’d review The Snow Queen’s Shadow (PRINCESS NOVELS). Please, bear in mind that I haven’t read any of the other books in the series, so… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #180 – Review of The Snow Queen’s Shadow by Jim C. Hines
While Green Lantern offers some entertainment value, it also manages to frequently miss the mark. Ryan Reynolds is a credible Hal Jordan, but the writers should surrender their WGA cards. Irresponsible test pilot Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) is chosen by the power ring of dying alien Abin Sur (Temeura Morrison) to become Sur’s successor as… Read More Review: Green Lantern
Yes, I’m skipping the middle two books. Suffice it to say that both The Ghost Brigades (A Sci Fi Essential Book) and The Last Colony are excellent books, and necessary to understanding Zoe’s Tale. Well, here’s a brief overview. The Ghost Brigades set up the events that take place in Last Colony, and introduce us… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #178 – Review of Zoe’s Tale by John Scalzi
I just read the Old Man’s War by John Scalzi. Yeah, we’re back to reviewing books that have been out forever. A friend loaned these to me awhile ago and I just got to them. I’m kind of annoyed at myself for having waited so long to get to them. In an indeterminate future, not so… Read More Geek Girls Rule #175 – Old Man’s War
Simply put, this is the best X-Men film yet. In the early 1960s, young men Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender), not yet Professor X and Magneto, come together to form the first X-Men team to thwart the machinations of fellow mutant Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon), who seeks to destroy humankind. Director/co-writer… Read More Review: X-Men: First Class
