OZ: The Great and Powerful Perhaps not this time around but… Overall not bad. This movie was definitely what I’d call a popcorn muncher. You sit down not expecting anything great and drink soda and popcorn (Harkins, thank god for your loyalty cups and shirts) and be visually wowed for […]
Star Trek’s New Trailer Reminiscent of Avengers
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yhz4A5BCMAA] A newly released trailer for Star Trek gives us a look into the oncoming summer blockbuster of Star Trek: Into Darkness. As Sam pointed out in her article earlier this year, there were a few similarities we saw in Benedict Cumberbatch’s John Harrison to Tom Hiddleston’s Loki Laufeyson. I […]
Jack, Giants, and Beanstalks
It’s been long overdue, but it’s time for me to write my review on Jack the Giant Slayer. Putting aside the overwhelming sidestep from biology in that a bean can grow into a beanstalk literally in front of your eyes, because as my friends told me the more astounding thing […]
Wreck-It Ralph Director Rich Moore Headlines Fix-It Felix Mockumentary
In honor of the release of Wreck-It Ralph, Disney has produced a twenty-eight minute mockumentary based on the Fix-It Felix, Jr. game from the film. The whole video is up on the official Disney YouTube channel for Wreck-It Ralph. When I first came across it I wasn’t sure that I […]
Star Trek Into Darkness – Now With More Pike!
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RxZcxkFZZP0] Looks like we’ve got another Star Trek Into Darkness trailer. And this time it’s far less doom and gloom than it has been the norm pretty much from the moment we started getting info about the sequel. That makes me happy. Star Trek has always had it’s darker moments […]
Rediscover the Beginning With Batman: Year One on Netflix
I’ve been sick (and consequently very bored) the past week or so and all I have had to keep me company is my cats and Netflix. Since it would be absolutely pathetic to write about my cats I figured I would write up something about one of the movies I’ve […]
From Up on Poppy Hill is Charming, but with a Twist!
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-vfzhfq5JA] While I’ve seen almost every Studio Ghibli film—you know, the animation studio that brought you films like Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle—I never got around to watching From Up on Poppy Hill. It’s the most recent release and, more importantly, Hayao Miyazaki’s son, Goro Miyazaki, directed the film. […]
Beautiful Creatures Was Robbed This Valentine’s Day
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9rjhB7KWEc] I cannot even begin to explain just how disappointed I am in the Valentine’s Day opening of Beautiful Creatures. Some how Safe Haven and It’s a Good Day to Die Hard managed to pull almost $9 million at the box office but Beautiful Creatures? It got the same $2.5 […]
This Valentine’s Day Watch Shakespeare, Instead of Sparks
So Valentine’s Day is coming. For us single people, it’s the worst day of the year and we just want to pretend it doesn’t exist. For the couples, it means an extra special date night. Or maybe just a movie. Now I have recently come to the conclusion that Nicholas […]
Love Never Dies… But What If It’s Technically Dead to Start With?
I think it’s pretty obvious now that we here at Nerdophiles are pretty big fans of Warm Bodies. Therese and I have been lucky enough to get the opportunity to see it not once but twice since December – well before it’s release in theaters this Friday. Waiting to tell […]
