[Movies] Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi by The Geeky Guide to Nearly Everything on Feb 9, 2012Well, it's D-day, or perhaps more like "3D-Day" if you get my drift. By the time this posts, The Phantom Menace would have debuted in local theaters while it's just about ready for release in a few hours over in the US. I can only...

[Books] Transformers Vault: The Complete Transformers Universe by The Geeky Guide to Nearly Everything on Feb 6, 2012The transformers franchise has come a long way from its humble roots as a meager attempt to import Japanese toys into the US market. The darn thing is practically an empire these days that includes toys, cartoons, comic books, movies and a heck of a...

[Movies] Chronicle (2012) by The Geeky Guide to Nearly Everything on Feb 5, 2012The initial buzz behind this particular movie had been surprisingly good and that definitely got me curious enough o watch to see it. Although I knew little about the actual movie other than that it was a teen superhero flick with a somewhat alternat...

[Movies] Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back by The Geeky Guide to Nearly Everything on Feb 2, 2012It's kind of crazy how quickly we've been going through the Star Wars movies in this review series - or perhaps it's just crazy how the past 5 weeks have passed us all by so quickly.

It was certainly a life-changing experience since it was also...

[Movies] Star Wars Uncut by The Geeky Guide to Nearly Everything on Jan 30, 2012Tobie and I have been in Singapore all weekend, and thus haven't had the time to watch a recent movie for my Monday review purposes. So instead of just posting another of my rambling reviews, I thought it might be nice to offer you something to watc...

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope by The Geeky Guide to Nearly Everything on Jan 26, 2012Wow, I can't believe we're already starting the reviews for the original trilogy of Star Wars movies. Where has this month been going? Does time really go by this fast when you're having so much geeky fun? Regardless, we press on, yes?

[TV] Sherlock: Series 2 (BBC) by The Geeky Guide to Nearly Everything on Jan 25, 2012I've always wondered by a lot of British television shows run such short seasons versus their US counterparts. This could probably be best illustrated by how the UK version of Being Human only lasted about 6 episodes (depending on how you count...

[Books] The Sandman: Book of Dreams by The Geeky Guide to Nearly Everything on Jan 23, 2012The Sandman series of comic books remains to be a landmark achievement in storytelling and is definitely one of those titles that "everyone" is expected to have read at one point in their lives. And it's not because the comics were so...

[Movies] Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith by The Geeky Guide to Nearly Everything on Jan 19, 2012Continuing my efforts to review all of the Star Wars movies in time for the re-release of The Phantom Menace in 3D this February, we're now on the final prequel movie and one that really had the task of capping off our return to the Star Wars un...
