Best geek movies throughout history.
Captivating and, at times, intense. The Walk is definitely worth a watch.
The Walk starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt follows the story of Philippe Petit and the events leading up to his infamous walk across The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in 1974. It's a look at the man himself and his beginnings as a high-wire walker and how his obsession came to be. He calls this obsession "le coup" and speaks about it like it's a revolution in art. To him, this highly dangerous and highly illegal act is the pinnacle of his art and he pursues it relentlessly.

While it has its moments, Phase II is ultimately forgettable.
I loved the original Contracted so when I finally had a chance to sit down and watch Phase II, I was excited to see the next chapter in that series. Contracted: Phase II picks up right where the first movie left off with the main character of the first film, Samantha (Najarra Towsend), shown in a quick flashback in her full infected glory. The sequel follows her friend, Riley (Matt Mercer), who was infected by Samantha in the previous movie. While Riley is racing to find a cure, the detective attached to Samantha's case, Crystal Young (Marianna Palka), is attempting to put the pieces together and catch the man responsible for the infection in an effort to contain it before it becomes impossible to stop. However, where the first movie was an engaging and at times horrifying (in a good way), this follow up feels a bit more rushed and doesn't offer the same sense of dread and atmosphere as the first.

This is a spoiler-free review of the Netflix comedy The Do-Over. Adam Sandler has had a rough go of things lately in the movie industry and his criticisms are well deserved for most of his films.

Can You Believe It's Been Ten Years Since This Happened?
The Lord of the Rings franchise has spawned a lot of memes of over the years but this little diddy has to be my favorite. Let me set the scene for you. The year was 2005, three years after the release of The Lord to the Rings: The Two Towers (2002). On August 18th of this fateful year, an artist named Erwin Beekveld submitted a video called "They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard" to Albino Blacksheep (how many of you remember that?) and everything exploded from there.
