I am fresh from watching Double Team (1997). It was an action comedy, sorta, with Jean Claude Van Damme and Dennis Rodman. This was Rodman’s first movie, I believe. I remember when it was released having no interest in seeing it because Rodman was too “out there” for me. I had a set definition in my head of what an action hero was and it definitely was not him. I remember him being on the second season of Special Ops Force, Inc. and not being impressed then. But, I also had preconceived notions about him being on an action show that I really enjoyed at the time. Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – Time and Place

Miss Dawn’s Musings – Director’s Cut My Ass
Last week a story dropped that seriously ticked my off. Ok, yes, it’s related to Batman v.

But this is a story that could come about with any movie and has more to do with the director than the quality of the movie itself. Continue reading Miss Dawn’s Musings – Director’s Cut My Ass

Miss Dawn’s Musings – All the Deadpool
If you don’t know by now that I’m a Deadpool fangirl, you’ve obviously not been reading this blog or listening to Geek Watch One. But anyway, we all know Deadpool opened this past weekend and, of course, I was there Thursday night to see it. (I’ve already seen it a second time too.) So it was a pretty obvious choice to make this week’s blog a review of the movie… a spoiler-filled, geekgasm heavy review. So if you haven’t yet seen the film and don’t want to know all the details, here’s my one sentence, spoiler-free review: This is everything a fan could want in a Deadpool movie – the characters are done right, there is violence and mayhem galore, and it’s absolutely hilarious. Now that that’s done, stop reading because the rest of this post is full of spoilers! Continue reading Miss Dawn’s Musings – All the Deadpool

It’s that time again. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day/Singles-Awareness Day/Ferris Wheel Day/Library Lover’s Day (my favorite of all of these). To commemorate these holidays, I found a few geeky love stories to binge on. Continue reading Best Geeky Finds – Love is for the Geeky (A.K.A. An Unintended Praise of Mary Kate Wiles’ Acting)
