Hollywood has had an exceedingly hard time making a good ninja movie. Most of them wind up in the bin collecting dust at your local Target or Walmart. Ninja Assassin is a legitimate attempt to make a ninja movie for a mass audience with a decent budget and a fair amount of craft [...]
10 Things I Hate About You is a fun and light-hearted teen comedy that helped launch the career of the late Heath Ledger. Ledger took what could have been a typical teen heartthrob role and imbued his part with charisma and warmth. He’s well matched with star Julia Stiles and a bunch of [...]
I found this awesome video about a collector’s edition of District 9 on Blu Ray from Sweden. Discjunkie is the person reviewing the Blu Ray package and it takes him about 10 minutes to go through the entire package.
What I love about this review is that he’s totally dedicated about his hobby, something that we [...]
Here’s NERDSociety’s Best & Worst List of 09!
Movie
The bad ass mech suit in District 9
Best: District 9
District 9 was a nerd’s wet dream. For a budget of $30 million, director Neill Blomkamp created a sci fi movie that had awesome special effects that rivaled big budget movies. Unlike most sci fi movies where it [...]

Michael Bay, the director of the craptastic Transformers 2, will be signing Blu Ray’s and DVD’s. You can get a signed blu ray ($50) or DVD ($40) on his official site, michaelbay.com. Although I hated Transformers 2, the sale is for a good cause. All the proceeds will go to Make A Wish Foundation. You [...]
I like short movie reviews, so I’ll distill this down to the most important aspects. This movie is essentially a drama, with some good comedy, and some of the best dialogue and acting I’ve ever seen. The opening scene has a famous Nazi, titled, “The Jew Hunter”, Colonel Hans Landa, who is played by the fantastic [...]
From BBC Video comes the 60 minute Easter Special of Doctor Who entitled Planet of the Dead. After 4 seasons of the decades old series, the BBC is releasing a few single episode videos which are aired on BBC America and of course in England. These features are being shown to lead up [...]
After 25 years and a year and a half waiting, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra has finally hit the screens. The film had a strong start as they introduced the characters whom brought the cartoons, comic books and action figures to life. Although there were changes and other alterations from the actual [...]
Coraline is the latest animated stop-motion movie directed by Henry Selick, but somehow people always seem to think that Tim Burton is somehow attached to these types of projects. Well for one thing, his name was plastered all around Nightmare Before Christmas.
The story starts off with Coraline and her parents moving into a new home. [...]
