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
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
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
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
