Comic Review: 'Formera' Vol. 1

Alterna Comics: Formera Volume 1Formera Vol. 1 TPB
Written and illustrated by Andrew Dobson
Alterna Comics
Cover price: $9.95; Available Now


So imagine this: You fall from the sky smack down in the middle of an ocean, that's how it starts. You're then rescued by a girl, looks more or less your age, fair hair, has the whole survivor look going for her/against her (points of view I guess). There you are, soaked, on a boat with Jane Savage talking gibberish and with no clue where you are or how you got there. That's the plot of Formera...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

Vantage Point
Directed by Pete Travis
Starring Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forest Whitaker
Rated PG-13
Release date: Feb. 22, 2008


“Matthew Fox from ‘Lost?’ You know what's interesting about him? NOTHING!” -- Seth Rogan, Knocked Up

Well didn’t this weekend just suck monkey dick. My one computer crashed on Saturday and Sunday it manages to wipe out all of our shit, including my music. Also on Sunday, I was given the opportunity to see one of three films – Vantage Point, Semi-Pro, or Definitely, Maybe. Being that I had to review Vantage Point for Geeks of Doom and Semi-Pro for FilmArcade, I narrowed my choices down to those two. Since I was a week late with Vantage Point, I caught that one. And I can tell you right now that without seeing Semi-Pro whether or not I made a good choice...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

Alison LohmanAs many know, Ellen Page was slated for the new Sam Raimi film Drag Me to Hell, but had to drop out due to some "schedule conflict."

Book Review: I'm A Lebowski, You're A Lebowski

On this 10th anniversary of the release of The Coen Brothers film The Big Lebowski, here's a look at this awe-inspiring fan compendium that chronicles all things Dude.

I'm A Lebowski, You're A Lebowski BookI'm A Lebowski, You're A Lebowski
By Bill Green, Ben Peskoe, Will Russell, Scott Shuffitt
Bloomsbury
Cover Price $15.95; Available Now


On the very first page, the Coen Brothers state "they neither have our blessing, or our curse" in the writing of this book. And so begins the awe-inspiring fan compendium, I'm a Lebowski, You're a Lebowski: Life, The Big Lebowski, and What-Have-You, that chronicles all things Dude. When The Big Lebowski hit theaters in 1998 (we're coming up on ten years here!) as the follow-up to the Coen's critically acclaimed Fargo, it performed less than modestly and quickly vanished from the theaters. But those who had seen it, and truly connected with what they saw on screen, coupled with multiple viewings on VHS and the then-dawning DVD format, quickly and quietly turned from fans to fanatics, as they memorized whole passages from the dialogue to recite and began to build their life around the key elements of the film, particularly taking on the qualities of The Dude...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

The Doom Dispatch: Ubisoft and the Death of Fun

Assassins Creed“Art has never been made while thinking of art.”
- Niko Stumpo

“I shit on the chest of Fun.”
- Hunter S. Thompson


Leave it to Roger Ebert to make THIS film critic write about video games. I’m sure anyone who would click on an article that has “Ubisoft” in the title has read about Ebert and his decree that video games are not art. There has been ranting, raving, pissing, and moaning to the contrary from everyone under the age of thirty who hasn’t seen the sun since the PS2 came out...continue reading this article at Geeks of Doom!
