I know, I’ve actually read a new book in a timely manner! Timely enough that the review might actually do some of you some good. Shocking, I know. But seriously, I want you all to consider the ramifications of this. I not only liked Feed (Newsflesh, Book 1) enough to get the sequel, but I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #173 – Deadline by Mira Grant
The latest Marvel Comics superhero adaptation is an entertaining fantasy action film with some good performances. It has some issues, but not enough to keep it out of the winner’s circle. After an impetuous attack on the Frost Giants, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is banished from Asgard by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins). Banished to Earth… Read More Review: Thor
OK, I am a huge Takashi Miike fan, but I am the first person to tell you he is not for everyone. That said, if you have a good stomach for graphic violence, some of it sexual in nature, and you like over the top, bizarre homage films, I highly recommend Sukiyaki Western Django.. This… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #172 – Sukiyaki Western Django
Feed (Newsflesh, Book 1) by Mira Grant (alter ego of Seanan McGuire) has been nominated for a Hugo Award, and is well deserving of that honor. I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago, but hadn’t had time to really start reading it, until a few days ago, and I’ve been ripping through it, sneaking… Read More Geek Girls Rule #171 – Feed by Mira Grant
So, Saturday night in order to celebrate a friend’s birthday, a bunch of us met up at Lot No. 3 in Bellevue, and started a game of the Leverage: The Roleplaying Game. David, whose birthday it was (Happy Birthday, David!) is a big fan of the show, as is Lukas, who ran it. Lukas came… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #170 – Leverage RPG
My good friend Jillian Venters, the Headmistress of Gothic Charm School, and I talk about gaming, the Camarilla, and horror movies, lots of horror movies. http://player.wizzard.tv/player/o/j/x/130540523848/config/k-789c63e80a92f152/uuid/root/height/360/width/640/episode/k-d002fe705d461295.m4v
I love horror movies, I have ever since I was a little girl. The other day I was sitting around trying to figure out why. Where did this come from? If you listen to the upcoming 21st podcast I do with Jillian Venters, we talk about it there. But I really have been mulling… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #169 – Why Horror?
I’ll preface my review by noting that I haven’t read the novels this show is based on, so my review is based solely on this episode and not on how accurate it is to the source material. Based on the novel of the same name (the first of the A Song of Ice and Fire… Read More Review: Game of Thrones, Episode 1.1, “Winter Is Coming”
Inglorious is right. The Geek Husband What Rules and I watched this last night, and were both just left cold. We agree it sucked, but he has separate reasons. Here are my reasons why this movie kind of sucked. 1. It was really two movies squished poorly together. The first movie is Shoshanna’s story, which… Read More Geek Girls Rule #165 – Inglorious Basterds
Ok, so in keeping with my habit of not seeing movies until they’ve been out forever, I just recently watched the Guy Ritchie directed Sherlock Holmes, and I have to say, even he couldn’t save it. Yes, it was pretty. Yes, the costumes were great. Yes, the acting was great as far as the script… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #164 – Sherlock Holmes
