Best Geeky Finds – They See Me Rolling: A Review of the Movie Rubber

bestgeekyfindsIt’s a story as old as time. Tire becomes sentient, learns it has super powers, goes on a killing spree, and then falls in love with a human woman whom he just can’t talk to.

First of all, I can only recommend this movie to film students and those interested in the different aspects and qualities of script writing or film history. This is not a Saturday afternoon popcorn movie, despite being, on the surface, a movie about a murderous car tire.

Best Geeky Finds – Tammy and the T-Rex

bestgeekyfindsI have never been a fan of gore. Horror movies that rely of blood and guts disgust me to the point of hating an entire movie even if the plot is good simply because of an absurd amount of gore. For this reason, I often find older and really bad horror and science fiction films that, while the story may be awful, it’s clean enough that I spend the entire time laughing.

The idea of this review began when Kylan posted a facebook survey about how many “bad” movies he had seen (I’ve only seen 36 of 170, but I plan to remedy this). I responded by asking how many of those he had seen he enjoyed.

I realize there are many really bad movies out there that should never have seen the light of day, even if they never reached a movie theater, but there are also many that, while considered “bad,” are enjoyable on different levels.

So this week I review a gem from the depth of the ‘90s: Tammy and the T-Rex. First, check out the trailer. Continue reading Best Geeky Finds – Tammy and the T-Rex →

Miss Dawn’s Musings – Armada Review

Blog-MissDawnsMusingsIn Issue 13 we did a review of Ernest Cline’s book Armada. Here’s the review I posted on Goodreads:

First of all, I want to give this 4.5 stars, not 4 but this site doesn’t allow half stars so there you go. The reason I didn’t give it 5 is because I enjoyed Ready Player One (RPO) just that little bit more. But that being said, this is still a really good novel.
