“The Dead Speak!”

Posted on December 27, 2019 by mygeekblasphemy

Well. I saw it. The Rise of Skywalker. And while I’ll inevitably spend far too many words trying to explain what I liked, what I didn’t, and what I really didn’t, if you’re looking for the short, short version: If … Continue reading →

“No One Wants To Play With The Clown Anymore.”

Posted on September 18, 2019 by mygeekblasphemy

Two years ago, Mekaela, Lindsey, and I all went to see It in theaters; I reviewed it here. (TLDR, it’s a fairly creepy horror film that–with just a little more work–could’ve been an amazing horror film.) I, of course, am a … Continue reading →

Summer is almost over–not that you’d know it in sunny ass California–so it’s about that time for my Occasional TV Superlatives. If you weren’t around for the last time I did this, it’s pretty straight-forward: I just gush and/or rant … Continue reading →

“Let The Past Die. Kill It, If You Have To.”

Posted on December 28, 2017 by mygeekblasphemy

So. The Last Jedi, huh? I saw this movie basically the second it opened, but I haven’t had the opportunity to write about it until now–although, of course, I’ve read everyone else on the internet analyze it to death. Per usual, … Continue reading →

Posted on June 15, 2017 by mygeekblasphemy

Okay! Guess what I finally have for you! Sure, it’s been roughly two weeks since Wonder Woman premiered and there have already been, like, 274 different hot takes on it, but clearly what’s important is mine, right? Sure it is! Overall: … Continue reading →

Posted on June 8, 2017 by mygeekblasphemy

While waiting to see Wonder Woman (soon, it will happen soon), Mekaela and I went ahead and watched a different superhero movie, one that we never quite got around to seeing: Doctor Strange. Ultimately? Meh.

Posted on March 24, 2017 by mygeekblasphemy

Last year, I re-watched Beauty and the Beast for the first time in ages. I picked at it, because that’s my thing, but I still loved it because I’ll always love it. I have massive little girl nostalgia for that … Continue reading →

Posted on January 23, 2017 by mygeekblasphemy

After the disappointment that was The Hateful Eight, Mekaela and I turned our eyes to lighter fare: the 2016, all-female remake of Ghostbusters. I was a little ashamed of myself for not seeing this movie in theater, for I had fully … Continue reading →

Posted on January 5, 2017 by mygeekblasphemy
