The Batman mythos is ripe with many characters and stories that can translate into TV, and the next character in the works is the Batman villain, Poison Ivy. Do I need to explain who she is? I mean… you are here. A very nerdy and geeky blog. You’re the right audience. Right?

At this point it isn’t new news that Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are reprising their roles in the next installment of The Mummy. It was a long time coming and fans are rejoicing. To this day, The Mummy is still one of the greats, and their chemistry had a lot do with it.

Director Matt Reeves’ The Batman quickly became my favorite live-action version of Batman. The tone had a dark detective noir feel, the city felt real, lived in, and in disrepair. And then you had Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Pattinson embodied the character perfectly. Clearly emotionally damaged from trauma, and unhinged rage that he can barely contain.

I’m usually a fan of movies herald by A24; they’re a tad bit more artsy and quirky. I’m also a fan of Alex Garland’s work, most notably being Ex Machina, which I consider one of my top 10 films.
(more…)My dad had a children’s book that he passed down to me which left a lasting impact on me. Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak addressed the loneliness, a creative spirit, and a sense of belonging. Maybe a lot of it is implied and I projected, but regardless, it was comforting.

I’m gonna be honest. I completely forgot that there was going to be a crossover film about Transformers and G.I. Joe. And why wouldn’t I forget?

Maybe I’m being a bit harsh, but do you remember much from Transformers: Rise of the Beasts?

It appears that heartthrob Jensen Ackles will grace our televisions on two shows instead of one, at the same time. Clearly, absolutely no one has a problem with this. Not only will Ackles star in The Boys spinoff, Vought Rising, but he will also star in MGM+’s Rules of Prey.

Back in 1999 as a child, I had a gaming console that was the epitome of gaming consoles to me, but unfortunately I was in the minority of that opinion. Which is too bad, because I still think Sega Dreamcast was the greatest and everything went downhill after Sega broke my little gaming heart when they discontinued the system, and my gaming days became sparse and casual. A lot of Dreamcast games were fun and borderline whimsical, which made them charming. Like the game Crazy Taxi, where you play as a cab driver going against a clock to pick up and drop off people as quick as possible; no matter how many laws you have to break or lives you put in danger to make it happen.
