Top 12 Geek Movies of 2015

Still, some of these films simply have risen above the rest. This movie also marks the star-making turn for Taron Egerton. Now this is how you make a cinematic martini! Yet, the film is perhaps fueled by too much nostalgia at times. It really is a moviegoing experience that can feel out-of-this-world. Creed Still, when perfectly executed, the old ways sometimes remain the best. And he does it by enlisting an aging Rocky Balboa....

We’re Doomed: The Dad’s Army Story review

As you might expect with such a cast,Were Doomedis not exactly a grim or serious affair. At the very least, theyll make you want to pop on an episode ofDads Army. And its a tribute to the time in which its set, with a swinging sixties soundtrack throughout.

Less-known Christmas movies: Step Dogs

Have we find a little-known Yuletide treat in the form of Step Dogs? Er… IsStep Dogsa lost Christmas classic? Well, answering that question takes very little deliberation: no. For starters, it has to do with lies. Big, fat lies. Some serious skulduggery has been involved in the packaging ofStep Dogs. Ad content continues below Alas, this is not the case withStep Dogs. However, nowhere in the entire film is there a single mention of the festive season....

The Last Panthers: a complex crime drama worth investing in

The success ofThe Killingchanged all that. Theres no lack of ambition here. Ad content continues below The drama is, at first glance, rather straightforward. Tough luck, Naomi, boss Tom Kendle (a leonine John Hurt) is insistent. Is he keen for a reason? Something persuaded him to travel to Marseille, the arsehole of Europe, as he puts it. These direct connections are important and much of the drama is concerned with the personal....

Doctor Who: The Husbands Of River Song spoiler-free review

This article originally appeared on Den of Geek UK. Timeslot information reflects UK airings. But thenThe Husbands Of River Songis a much lighter story than weve had these past couple of months. Thats because this is for the most part a two-hander between two very skilled performers. Kingston is on excellent form again, and her interplay with Peter Capaldi is terrific. Its as funny and fan-saluting as anything we saw in series 9....

Ross Kemp in A Christmas Carol? Yep, we’ve been watching the Christmas 24 channel. Here are a few of its gems… Ive lost track of these channels and what theyre called.

Star Wars: The Evolution of the X-Wing & Its Storytelling Capabilities

The X-Wing was central to the Star Wars Original Trilogy. But what does its evolution through the films tell us? Spoilers for the twoStar Warstrilogies to date lie within, as well as Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Though the fact his dad was a bit of a natural helped as well, presumably. It has also featured in a couple of recent canonical stories. S-foil is the term used for the entire wing assembly of the X-Wing....

The Expanse: Dulcinea Review

Not so withThe Expansewhere viewers are expected to roll up their sleeves and get dirty right from the start. Thats not to say the show doesnt have its villains. The planetary racism inherent in this series will likely be its strongest and most interesting source of conflict. What better way to entice viewers to come back for more? Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Homeland: Our Man in Damascus Review

This Homeland review contains spoilers. And for better or worse, this is acting like the tragedy/triumph of one ofHomelands most prominent antagonists. Also to her credit, Miranda Otto is perfectly on point as this unnervingly crafty sociopath. She gets high off of the desperate manipulation. And indeed, the penultimate episode mostly involved Allison Carr far too easily disrupting the search for the terrorists. Apparently, they hope it will scare an unnamed President Obama into another Middle East ground war with ISIS....

Speed 2: How a Dream Sparked One of the Biggest Stunts Ever

In 1994, Jan De Bont found himself in something of a quandary. Its a lot more fun than destroying a paper box. Along for the ride are Jack and AnnieKeanu Reeves and Sandra Bullocks characters from the first film. Unfortunately for De Bont, Reeves didnt want to do the sequel. Or maybe it was because Reeves didnt like the idea of all those action sequences in the water. In this movie, he needed to do all this stuff underwater, and I think that scared him....
