Review: Logan (2017)
Fox has made two previous attempts at a Wolverine solo outing, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) and The Wolverine (2013), and neither were quite up to par. The first suffered from an overstuffed script, some poor special effects, a mangled sense of continuity and no real direction to the plot; the overall thrown together feel makes it reek of cash-in. When announcements were made of a second outing for Logan, hope was initially high; indie talent Darren Aronofsky was set to direct an R-Rated take on the Frank Miller stories based in Japan. A lengthy overseas production schedule turned him off though and James Mangold took his place, crafting a more cohesive and entertaining effort than the first. The deliberate, character driven beginning gives way to an action filled middle, let down by a silly and bloated final battle. Both movies were box office successes but critics were less pleased, dismayed at the lack of emotional involvement and characterisation, and reliance on special effects and noise.

STARZ Spartacus Geek Auction
“I am Spartacus!” Yes, I know it’s a meme, but it's been around since before memes even really existed—and I know that because I really love that movie. As much as I liked the classic film, I enjoyed the STARZ network television series even more.

The Platinum Age of Superhero Movies 2012 - 2016
The Platinum Age of Superhero Movies was ushered in with Josh Whedon's Avengers Assemble in 2012, the culmination of everything set in motion since Iron Man had been released in 2008. DC and Marvel have sent their cinematic universes into the stratosphere with their superhero team ups and we can only dream of the next incredible age of the superhero movies.

'The Walking Dead' Geek Auction
I want to start this off by saying that I'm a huge, huge fan of The Walking Dead. Even before it was a television series, I was one of those geeks who snapped up every single comic book out there...or, in my case, did what I could to borrow my friends' copies. The more I got into the world of Rick Grimes and the survivors, the more I wanted to see what happened.
