As you’re all well aware, the world lost two cinematic legends this past week: Robin Williams and Lauren Bacall. The latter was eighty-nine and died of natural causes. Though no less talented, her death was perhaps less tragic. Every movie site worth their salt has been covering or commemorating them in some way, and…
Baddie – Teenagers, they’re just too tempting. Lesson – If you’re a teenager in Amity, you probably shouldn’t swim. Ever. Jaws | Jaws 2 | Jaws 3 | Jaws 4 In our continuing theme of Shark Summer, we move from the classic Jaws to the slightly-less-classic Jaws 2. I made a post on good old Reddit, and the second…

Get pumped! To celebrate, I’m reviewing all of the Jaws films. Jaws…
As you might remember from last week – SH*T HIT THE FAN. Most notably, Eph, Jim, and Nora had just beat one of the vampires to death with a fire hydrant. They are freaking out, but they are also still under the impression that they might get in legal trouble for beating a monster to…
Fresh off the heels (or hooves, as the case may be) of my review of the excellent A Brony Tale, I was invigorated to look at other recent documentaries that examined and championed other elements of nerd culture; in particular, I was excited to watch Video Games: The Movie (2014). Released last month and directed…
