Bye Hank! Californication Fades To Black - Finale Review

Posted by Eddie Siqueira - Monday, June 30, 2014
The last episode has aired; the final stone has set. Hank Moody has taken us through a tale of fatherhood for Generation X in seven seasons. Luckily, the final episode did the series justice. Californication was not a force to be reckoned with. It didn't engage a kaleidoscope of demographics like Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad. It caught the eye of a more select audience. One that, while laughing at gratuitous vulgarities of the show,...

The Untold Story of Jodorowsky's Unmade Dune Movie

Posted by Jonathan Jackson - Sunday, June 29, 2014
Jodorowsky's Dune chronicles the legendary Chilean director's mid-1970s incredibly ambitious attempt to adapt Frank Herbert's cult science fiction novel Dune. The project was to star Mick Jagger, Orson Welles, Salvador Dali, and David Carradine, and have an elaborate soundtrack by Pink Floyd.   In 1974, cult film director Alejandro Jodorowsky attempted to create the big-screen adaptation. As well as enticing some of the greatest...

Posted by Orion Petitclerc - Saturday, June 28, 2014
I'm baaaaaack! Welcome to my review of the final chapter in Cullen Bunn, Salvador Espin, and Veronica Gandini's Deadpool vs. Carnage limited series comic book. It's been a fun ride, but like all good things, this too must end. Let's start off like I always do, with a brief recap to catch you up. In Deadpool vs. Carnage #3, Cletus Kasady (aka Carnage) is beginning to experience a crisis of faith, thanks to none other than the...
Single and 3-day tickets for New York Comic Con went on sale Thursday at noon, and although ReedPOP reassured fans that they took the necessary steps to make sure purchasing tickets went as smoothly as possible, it did anything but that—crashing the website entirely within seconds. When it comes to buying tickets to conventions, nothing is as stressful, and with New York Comic Con vastly growing to the size and popularity of San Diego...
Readers and fantasy lovers: This is a great book! Since reading the first volume of The Sara Chronicles, I've noticed a definite—though not drastic—increase in creativity on Laura Hughes' part. Book one followed our heroine through unspeakable dangers, a difficult life, and ugly obstacles, and then left her with the ability to control nature's furious weather patterns. She finds her way and becomes better for it in the end with the...

Week in Geek: June 25th, 2014

Posted by Jeff Penner - Wednesday, June 25, 2014
Want to know what happened the past few days in nerd culture? WEEK IN GEEK is your quick fix to catch up with the rest of the Fanboys out there. MOVIES The Batman Comes to Theaters in 2019. My take: Ben Affleck will be starring in, and possibly directing, this sequel to Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. I'll be more interested after seeing what DC's long-term plans are. Is Arrow part of their continuity, and thus The...
North Korea is anything but laughing at the upcoming action-comedy starring James Franco and Seth Rogen, whose trailer is pretty straightforward—attempt to assassinate Kim Jong-un. The Interview stars may have gotten more than they bargained for, causing the North Korean government to threaten a "merciless" war on the United States. A North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman told the country's state-run news agency that "The enemies...
Microsoft has a special offer, and they're targeting specifically Macbook users. The company is offering a $650 in-store credit on their Surface Pro 3—that is, if you're willing to trade in your perfectly good Macbook Air. The offer is only good until July 31 when you trade in certain models, which need to be in good working condition, but the fine-print terms are vague and don't say which models are actually valid. Microsoft conveniently...

Edgar Ramirez recently hinted at a possible role in the upcoming Doctor Strange film by saying that he was talking to director Scott Derrickson about it. While that's not much to base any sort of a confirmation on, it's at least interesting enough to spark some speculation. If Edgar Ramirez were to be someone in the film, who would that character be? Naturally, the first thing people can run to is that he'd play Stephen Strange himself....

Check it out below: The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast...
Hey, hey, hey Dacetacular Nation! The Dace Man has even more news for you today when it comes to the world of comics! The highly anticipated movie Guardians of the Galaxy is set to release in a little over a month and a man yet to have his role revealed is Firefly's Nathan Fillon.

Hey, hey, hey, Dacetacular ones! Chris Dace bringing you some more news in the world of geek. This time, I reflect back to some cryptic messages left by Steven R. McQueen in the month of November about CW's Arrow. Back in November, The Vampire Diaries' star, McQueen, got the internet a buzzing by taking a picture at the gym and spreading it online! The buzzworthy part of the tweet was the message, "Nightwing training," and then tagging...

So from what we know so far, the original cast from the initial Star Wars movies will be back and reprising their roles, as well as a handful of a younger new generation of stars to carry the franchise. So with those key players in place, who will antagonize our band of heroes 30 years after the fall of the empire? Will a new...

New DC Movie "The Batman" Coming in 2019, Directed by Ben Affleck?

Posted by Unknown - Monday, June 23, 2014
Several days ago we posted an article detailing a rumored release schedule for Warner Bros.' DC Comics films, beginning with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016 and ending with Man of Steel 2 in 2018. In between were films setting up the larger Justice League franchise, Wonder Woman, and a few other heroes. Some sites (like ours) noticed a missing piece in that puzzle: no new Batman franchise. Well, we might have an answer now. Rumor...
