Halloween Preview + Review: Zombie Does Carpenter

[ 14:59 ]
It's a tricky thing, doing a remake of a Hollywood Classic... but with a legion of fans all his own, Rob Zombie has the cult-power to do Halloween Remake with a certain degree of comfort that his audience will come out and support it. We're not specifically that audience, but we're both pretty familiar with the Halloween mythos. Familiar enough to think that a "revisitation" of John Carpenter's famous character treads on very hallowed ground indeed... what did we make of it? Have a look. ~Matt + Nat

Preview + Review: Drag Me To Hell
We managed to check out Drag Me To Hell back at SXSW in March, and we LOVED it. Watching Sam Raimi return to the genre that he started in was magnificent, with all the jumps and laughs and wit that you'd expect from a classic Raimi horror film. Since we've already seen this one, for a change this episode will bring you a review along with exclusive scenes from the movie and interviews behind-the-scenes of Drag Me To Hell! ~Matt + Nat

Quarantine Preview: Zombie Pov Fun!
It looks like Cloverfield and Diary of the Dead were only the beginning of our Point-of-View horror movies bringing back the glory days of the Blair Witch Project, because now this remake of a 2007 Spanish indie film [REC], is giving us more jostling, cameraman-loving, visceral reality scares. It's hard to say anything bad about any Zombie movie, since the genre runs the gamut from the brilliantly topical to the terribly stupid, and every film has at least one person out there to love it. Having said that, this seems like a cool premise for a movie on its own, so if we can stomach another ride on the cameraman's back, this could be a good one! ~Matt + Nat

Quarantine Review: Proper Terror This Season!
In an age where the Saw and Hostel type horror film has given up on scares in favour of gore, Quarantine delivers some genuine suspense and terror! This was definitely worth the price of admission! ~Matt + Nat

Skinwalkers Preview: The Elusive Werewolf Genre
Recently we’ve had Cursed, the Underworlds, and you can kind of count Van Helsing, since there were some pretty amazing digital werewolves there. But none of them really stack up to the classics in the 80’s - American Werewolf in London and the Howling. Skinwalkers gives an interesting modern take on the Werewolf, using the most retro style possible: Man-in-Suit. With Max Evans (Jason Behr) from Roswell and Casey Jones (Elias Koteas) from the original Ninja Turtles film as the leads, and the effects pro from Terminator, Jurassic Park and Interview with a Vampire, Skinwalkers has all the ingredients to be a worthy successor to the Werewolf genre. ~Matt + Nat

Underworld Rise Of The Lycans: Review + Preview
Since we got all the goodies from Sony so late, we weren't able to make a proper preview for Underworld, so we've incorporated a few words of wisdom from the cast and crew into our regular review style. What did we think? Well, we knew what we were getting, not only because it's a prequel and the story was already given away back in 2003, but because we know what to expect from an Underworld movie: Vampires and Werewolves taken deadly serious no matter how absurd the story. And we love it that way. Sure the second film in the series was an ungodly piece of crap, but hey, not everything is Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. ~Matt + Nat

The Dark Knight Preview
We're pretty excited for Nolan's second crack at bat... *ba-doom crash* and the addition of Heath and Aaron as well as the replacement of Mrs. Tom Cruise with Maggie Gyllenhaal are all on the side of awesome. But will it stand up to Iron Man? The cast and crew are all pretty excited, and these scenes give us a pretty amazing glimpse at what's in store for us! ~Matt + Nat

Event: Fanexpo 2007
Ok, so we had a booth at the Fan Expo this year, and it was a pretty huge event. A This video feature kind of breaks from the format of Your Geek News and the BSGcast, since it pretty much sums up all of our exploits while we were there. Nat got an exclusive with Greg Pak, the writer behind the Battlestar Galactica comics, Matt had a chat with Malcolm McDowell about everything from Star Trek to Haloween, and, of course, with Tricia Helfer there, we made sure to get some info out of her about Season 4 and Razor during her Intimate & Interactive session! You'll love it! ~Matt + Nat

Skinwalkers Review: Practical Effects Rock The House
We're both pretty rocked by Skinwalkers, considering some of the lackluster competition in the Werewolf genre as of late, that's not too surprising. But in one of his first times out as director, Jim Isaacs gets a killer performance out of most of his actors, and Stan Winston's creature effects stand up well to the CGI smattering of pixels that the audience is accustomed to these days! ~Matt + Nat

Speed Racer Review: Not As Bad As You May Think...
Matt and Nat weren't really expecting much from this, mostly because the ads were pretty lacklustre... if you even saw them. Between an ad campaign that seemed confused from day one and the fact that the source material is actually just too old to have been raised on ourselves, we didn't jump on this one right away, but it sure was a fun ride once we did. What did you think? Did you even bother? ~Matt + Nat PS. Matt REALLY hated the monkey and the kid. Just sayin'

Hulk Preview: Now With Added Incredible!
So, Ed Norton, William Hurt, Liv Tyler and Tim Roth? That sounds like a pretty amazing cast… even if they did already have a cast for the Hulk from Ang Lee’s 2003 go-round. Matt liked the first one and Nat is game for some Ed Norton. What about you?! ~Matt + Nat
