In White’s review for the conservative National Review, White labeled ‘Get Out’ as…

We are still in the early months of 2017 and that means the Oscars are just around the corner. With that being said, Screen Geek likes to take a small break from the latest superhero, sci-fi, horror, action, and other pop culture film news to take a look at the nominees. 2016 had a great run of films that really provoked discussion between film goers and critics, so much so that I decided to give some sound predictions on who should win and what films could take home that well deserved famous golden statue (insert golden-something joke). So as not…
Mainstream horror is in a funk. Let’s just admit it. There are other options in the horror market that doesn’t rely on the tired trope of jump scares or shock value, but those are mostly in the indie/underground area that you only hear about through word of mouth. Jordan Peele is a well known comedy writer and actor that had his television presence felt on Fox’s ‘Mad TV’. From there, he and his best friend, Keegan-Michael Key, created the widely successful show ‘Key and Peele’. After that show ended, a lot of people wondered what would be Peele’s next move.…
Jurassic World was a hit when released but no one expected to be the monster hit that it turned out to be. Almost no news has come out about the plot of the sequel only that Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and B.D Wong would be returning. Well fanatics of the Jurassic Park variety, we have news for you.

You might cringe at the idea of slapstick humor when it comes to a zombie flick, but there have been many exceptions to the idea that those two wouldn’t mix. There are others that could be seen as a complete abomination. Let’s take a trip down zombie memory lane and analyze…
It’s been a roller coaster ride for The Batman and WB Studios. With numerous reports stating that the long awaited Wonder Woman film is essentially a trainwreck, Ben Affleck deciding to not to direct the film, and a story of page one rewrite for the script – not much good has been reported for The DCEU as of late. News of Matt Reeves taking the helm as director seemed some saving grace for the troubled production but now, there’s another head-scratcher coming from Warner Bros. It appears that Matt Reeves only verbally committed to ‘The Batman’ and Ridley Scott is in…
Get this man a gun. What do you give a man who some would call the Baba Yaga and who has the ability to kill three men with just a pencil? Well, you give him a sequel and a reason to come out of retirement to make head-shots look easy, that’s what.
