Film Geek Central

Resident Evil Afterlife, The American, Machete, Going the Distance, Flipped, Piranha 3-D

We've got another great episode of FILM GEEK CENTRAL, featuring all the things you love. Milla Jovovich flies through the air, shooting zombies and basically pleasing her audience in RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE. This one is in 3-D, because everything is. George Clooney plays a really, really moody assassin hiding out in Italy in THE AMERICAN. Think of it as Eat Pray Love, but with murder. Danny Trejo solves the immigration controversy through lots of stabbing in Robert Rodriguez's MACHETE. This one is based on the formerly fake trailer from Grindhouse and also features Robert De Niro, Don Johnson, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan and Jeff Fahey. He's a Mac, she's a PC and they're a thousand miles apart. Justin Long and Drew Barrymore try long-distance relationships in GOING THE DISTANCE. Rob Reiner keeps trying to live down North, this time with a coming of age romance called FLIPPED. This one appears to have a big "Awww" Factor. And Scott gives a solo take on just what he thought of the mean bitey fish in PIRANHA 3-D. All this plus film news and our DVD Picks of the Week! Hope to see you there, Film Geeks!

The Last Exorcism, Vampires Suck, Nanny McPhee Returns, Centurion

Summer ends, not with a bang but with a whimper. But we're making sure we give the season a big send-off on the next FILM GEEK CENTRAL! First off, we look at the new horror film THE LAST EXORCISM. This is a supernatural spookshow spectacular that blends old school horror with the more modern storytelling techniques of films like Paranormal Activity. Eli Roth produced (but did not direct) this one. We're also one of the only shows brave/stupid enough to review VAMPIRES SUCK. This is a spoof of the Twilight movies from the same guys who gave us the criminally unfunny Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans and Disaster Movie. Why do they get the money to do these films? Because people go see them. Will this be a change of pace or will we rip it a new one? NANNY MCPHEE RETURNS, whether we want her to or not. Emma Thompson's pet character returns in this family fantasy that had a successful release overseas months ago. CENTURION has us excited, since it's from Neil Marshall. We've dug just about everything this guy has done so far (The Descent, Doomsday, etc.) so the idea of him handling an R-rated mideval adventure tickles us. We'll cover all of this plus film news and our DVD Picks of the Week! We'll cover all of this, plus film news and our DVD Picks of the Week! Hope to see you there, film geeks!

Expendables, Eat Pray Love, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, The Other Guys, Inception

YES, WE'RE STILL ALIVE! After two months of Austin filming and Scott schooling, Film Geek Central returns with a new episode and all sorts of awesomeness! We'll take a look at the Julia Roberts film EAT PRAY LOVE, based on the literary blockbuster. Not to give anything away, but we think it involves lots of eating, praying and loving. Sylvester Stallone brings along a Rogue's Gallery of action stars in for the long-awaited THE EXPENDABLES. This looks like a tough-as-nails action epic that was locked in a vault back in 1987. SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD adds video game aesthetics to the most harrowing of life obstacles - relationships. Edgar Wright of SHAUN OF THE DEAD fame directs. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg play unlikely buddy cops in THE OTHER GUYS. The presence of Eva Mendes assures there will be something for Scott to admire. And yes, we will talk about the huge Christopher Nolan film everyone else is debating, INCEPTION. This film has become an obsession for much of the country. Our take might surprise you. All of this plus our DVD Picks of the Month, film news and everything else you love about us. So, catch up with your old film geeks on Sunday, August 15th at 8:00 PM Easter / 7:00 PM Central as we unveil a new episode of Film Geek Central!!!

The A-Team, Get Him To the Greek, Sex and the City 2, Prince of Persia AND MORE!!!

It's been over a month since our last ep, and that means lots of summer movies to catch up with on Film Geek Central! First up, the long-awaited film adaptation of one of our favorite TV shows, THE A-TEAM. This one actually has some great casting in front of and behind the camera. GET HIM TO THE GREEK is the film we've been nicknaming, "That Film with the Guys We Hate." True, we're not big fans of Jonah Hill or Russell Brand. But will this be as funny as everyone says? SEX AND THE CITY 2 is the sequel to the TV show about formerly promiscuous women who have everything handed to them and still find plenty to complain about. PRINCE OF PERSIA is the newest video game adaptation, this one from Jerry Bruckheimer and Company. We know Jake Gyllenhaal can romance cowboys and talk with mutant bunnies, but can he carry an action film? SPLICE is a low-budget horror film which was nonetheless given a huge push for the summer. We've been wanting a good monster movie for a long time, so hopefully this is it. SHREK FOREVER AFTER rounds out the animated epic with everyone coming back for the last roundup. ROBIN HOOD is the epic Ridley Scott film that is sort of about Robin Hood and sort of needs to bring in a lot of that international box office to keep the people at Universal from crying themselves to sleep. All of this plus film news and our DVD Picks the W- well, since the last time we had a show. The whole thing happens this Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern / 7:00 PM Central. Hope to see you there, Film Geeks! It's great to be back!

Iron Man 2, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Furry Vengeance, The Losers, The Secret of Kells

The summer movie season is here and whether it's Tony Stark's armor or Freddy Krueger's fingers this show is all about METAL!!! IRON MAN 2 is bound to be a huge hit. This sequel to the 2008 film brings Robert Downey Jr. back as the hero. In addition to Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle (replacing Terrence Howard), Tony Stark must also contend with Scarlett Johnansen, Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke. Marvel Comics produced this one, which is almost always a good sign. A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET is the remake of Wes Craven's 1984 horror classic. Jackie Earle Haley (WATCHMEN, SHUTTER ISLAND) plays Freddy Krueger this time out in a remake that is more like the gritty original than the humorous sequels. FURRY VENGEANCE is not an internet fetish site, but a new family comedy starring Brendan Fraser. When a real estate developer is about to knock down a nature preserve, the animals of the forest strike back. Hilarity ensues, we hope. THE LOSERS is another comic adaptation, this one a tongue-in-cheek action title from a few years back. A special forces crew is believed dead after a double-cross. They return to the United States in a bid to take out the man who set them up. Finally, THE SECRET OF KELLS is a critically-acclaimed animated film which is only now hitting the United States. It was nominated for a Best Animated Film Oscar, alongside such films as UP and CORALINE. We'll be covering all this plus film news and our DVD Picks of the Week! Hope to see you there, Film Geeks!
