Star Trek Timelines has finally come out, and I must say, I was initially not impressed. The graphics were pretty good for a mobile game, but so much of it initially smacked of being a “Freemium” game. However, something magical…

“A Surprisingly Refined Michael Bay” 13 Hours Review
Trevor Law and myself trashed this film pretty hard when the first trailer dropped months ago. And rightfully so; Michael Bay has been pumping out some utter garbage the last few years. Horribly written characters coupled with frantic and indistinguishable action scenes from…
“Redmayne and Vikander Are Wonderful” The Danish Girl Review
Eddie Redmayne has been on quite the tear lately. After his Oscar win with the Theory of Everything, I was surprised to see him follow it up with another strong performance. Well, if we ignore Jupiter Ascending…because he had this…
Marvel Universe Live: Try the “It’s Not Just For Kids” Argument After This
If you’re a nerd like me, you inevitably run into someone who overhears you talking about how much you love something nerdy ( for me it’s superheroes), and they will look at you with their snide, condescending look and ask…
“Glorious Indeed” The Hateful Eight & 70MM Roadshow Review
Besides the release of Star Wars, there was only one movie that I was looking forward to this December: The Hateful Eight. It was high on my radar since it was a Tarantino film, but also because he decided to shoot it on…
“Witness Omalu’s Determination” Concussion Review
What starts off as an excellent investigation into the cause of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopahy) quickly tries to turn into something else and loses the ability to knock this one out the park. Will Smith shines with another solid performance…
“The Radical Life Of Joy Mangano” Joy Review
December is always a month chop full with new biopics and courageous stories. Joy is no exception to that trend and it doesn’t manage to break free of the basement dweller status that many of these occupy.
“Wild Ride Of Financial Turmoil” The Big Short Review
While I disagree with the number of Oscar nods everyone thinks this film will get, I can definitely agree how strong the film is regardless. Adam McKay, fresh off his screenwriting success with Ant-Man, gets a crack at detailing the 2007 housing…

It’s the Holiday Season and nerds like us always like to celebrate in style. Check out some of the best offerings of Christmas cheer from the nerd world at large.
“Spike Lee, Relevant As Always” Chi-Raq Review
Lysistrata is not the first Greek play that would have come to my mind for an adaptation. Positioned in a new period of history, during which Chicago has seen deaths that rival those of American service members aboard, Spike Lee…
