Underworld Rise Of The Lycans: Review + Preview

[ 10:35 ]
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

Watchmen Preview: Can It Live Up To The Source Material?
We’ve had our eye on this project for YEARS, literally, and we couldn’t have more anticipation and enthusiasm for this film if we tried. Mostly because we’ve been fans of the graphic novel for as long as we can remember, and the pressure couldn’t be higher for Snyder to deliver a truly great movie from the greatest graphic novel of all time. So watch our 10-minute preview of Watchmen, complete with cast and crew interviews and LOTS of scenes from the movie, and hit up YourGeekNews.com to let us know what you think. ~Matt +Nat

Halloween Preview + Review: Zombie Does Carpenter
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

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

Wanted Review: Get That Girl A Sandwich
Matt and Nat both got a kick out of Wanted, though it didn't quite live up to the expectations set by some of the rumours... or set by the first 10 minutes of the film. But it's a great ride that's definitely worth seeing -- if you've already seen Dark Knight that is. But if you hit the snack bar, make sure to bring back something for Angelina. She looks like she could use the meal. ~Matt + Nat

Watchmen Review: Oh-Oh Alan... It Was Good. Really...
More positive than we were expecting with an ending that just might take Alan Moore to school. And we're saying ALL that without seeing all the extra DVD-released scenes that have been shot with Hollis Mason, Sally Jupiter--oh yeah and the Black Freighter! So you can bet this will be the first of at least two reviews we'll be doing of Watchmen. Once that DVD comes out, we'll be getting an even more accurate, comprehensive and faithful adaptation. ~Matt+Nat

Punisher Review: War Zone Splits The Geeks!
It’s a completely two-sided review for Punisher: War Zone, with one of us madly in love with the dark live-action romp through the pages of Marvel Knights favourite hero, and the other simply unimpressed with comic violence pushed past the point of enjoyable. Where do your feelings fall on this third installment of the Punisher franchise? ~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

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

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

Transformers 2 Preview: Revenge, Anyone?
If you go back to our 2007 review, Matt was on a bit of a tirade about how terrible of an adaptation Michael Bay’s first Transformers film was. Now that all the wounds have healed, Bumblebee is a Camaro, Jazz is dead and Optimus has flames on his trailerless tractor trailer, it’s time to see if this re-imagined Transformerverse has a good story to tell in it. We’ve got three scenes to share with you that give you an idea of what to expect from T2… wait, that acronym is already taken. Either way, we hope you enjoy our take on almost 5 minutes of theatrical footage from the film! ~Matt+Nat
