Spoiler-Free!   On Monday evening, I saw an advance screening of the new Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks movie, Bridge Of Spies.  There were two things that really surprised me about this screening. Almost no one was there.  Advance screening are usually popular events, yet the theater was maybe half-full at most. The thing

Ant-Man is possibly Marvel’s biggest gamble to date.  Guardians of the Galaxy had that honor last year, and went on to become one of the most beloved movies in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe).  Even though it contained a group of characters the mainstream audience was not the most familiar with, it

Avengers: Age Of Ultron came with ridiculously high expectations.  After the first Avengers movie became the third highest grossing film of all time, the world learned something that a lucky cult following had known for many years: JOSS WHEDON IS A GENIUS!!!  Was it possible to meet, or even exceed expectations for a

This review is spoiler-free, containing only plot points found in the trailers. Walking into The Book Of Life, I had a single expectation: A visually stunning movie.  I’m happy to say that it exceeded my expectations in the visual department, and on top of that was so much more. The plot of

I was planning on that title being my entire review of Guardians of the Galaxy, but it simply does not do the movie justice. If you’re a regular Pure Geekery reader, there’s a very good chance you’ve already seen the movie.  However, I’m still going to leave this review spoiler-free. Marvel took

Last year, the world caught Sharknado fever.  If you read my review of it, you will recall that I somehow had a natural immunity to this type of fever.  While the world tuned in to Sharknado 2: The Second One last Wednesday, I patiently waited for what I hoped to be the

NOTE: Spoiler-free review, containing only details from released trailers Let’s Be Cops is a movie that popped up out of nowhere.  The first I had heard of it was around a month ago, when a trailer for it played before something else I was seeing, and it really caught my attention.  A
