BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Movie Review: #ThePurgeElectionYear

The Purge Election Year feasts on the flesh of a bloody good political thriller. Review by Matt Cummings As the nation once again prepares for Purge Night, its “New Founding Fathers of America” are not a happy bunch: there is growing concern that the one-night-a-year bloodfest has been targeting the poor in an effort to keep the costs of welfare and other programs down. Moreover, a new challenge has arisen in the form of Purge survivor Sen. Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), who leads a group demanding an end to the event. Desiring to see her growing influence eliminated, the NFFA institutes a new rule: all citizens (including government officials) are now able to be hunted on Purge Night. As dark forces conspire against her, Roan has an ace up her sleeve: her bodyguard/head of security Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo), who has relocated from Los Angeles after surviving two years prior. Together with a collection of anti-Purge patriots, Leo and Charlie battle the NFFA and Pur

Movie Review: #TheLegendOfTarzan

Led by an all-star cast, The Legend of Tarzan doesn't bore, but doesn't move us either. Review by Matt Cummings If the 2016 box office has proven anything, it's that American audiences are becoming more choosy in what they watch. We've seen that message quickly emerge as one sub-par film after another has fallen to poor turnout and negative reactions by critics. And while The Legend of Tarzan hopes to reverse that trend - and it's better than most of what we've seen this season - it still rings a bit hollow. A retelling of the classic novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, we are introduced to the British gentlemen Lord Greystoke (Alexander Skarsgard), who struggles to maintain his sense of self in 19th Century England, all while events unfold in his native land that will draw him back to Africa. Central to this is the politics of colonization, with the Belgium king Leopold staking his claim over the continent. But he'll need help, and therefore

Documentary Review: Roseanne for President!

The content of this documentary was almost embarrassing and overly frustrating listening to her antics and her far far far left babble. By: Erika Ashley Four short years ago, comedienne and longtime feminist, Roseanne Barr ran to be President of the United States of America in the 2012 election. This gritty and raw documentary follows Roseanne from the idea’s conception to the bitter end of defeat. Throughout the film a different side of Roseanne emerges and a realistic view of how an “Average Joe” would go about attempting to run for office. From the very beginning Roseanne is unapologetically honest about her true intentions of running for President, however you cannot help but notice something is much different from before. You see a real elderly woman fed up with modern day mudslinging politics and would rather try to handle it all herself then see another rich politician take office and continue running the country into the ground. The film outlines how Roseanne came t

#MarvelCollectorCorps Review: June 2016

It's a month of Marvel Movie Ass Whoopin', as Marvel Collector Corps delivers another exceptional sub box. Review by Matt Cummings With Loot Crate long gone and our desire to keep Geek Fuel ebbing, we really can't say the same for Funko's run of DC, Smuggler's Bounty, and of course Marvel Collector Corps. This month's WOMEN OF POWER theme does nothing less than hit it out of the park, pushing us further away from the monthly model. The Promise Before we begin, let's look at the deal again: promising a value of $50, the box would keep the "fluff" (their words) to a minimum with Funko partnering each time to deliver an exclusive figure. Joining at the Founders level would get you an 8" exclusive figure on your one-year anniversary, but you can also subscribe at the Collector level at $25 with $6.95 shipping. With Year One Founders receiving a Captain America statue, it's clear that a long-term commitment to MCC mi

#GeekFuel Review: June 2016

Does Geek Fuel's June release fulfill your love of geek? Read on to find out! Review by Matt Cummings After May's very good (but not great) Explorers theme - sporting great Nathan Drake and Westeros gear but a lame GF pint glass, we expected June to finally be the month in which the company achieved a rightful place at the sub box subsctiption table. Unfortunately, a hodge-podge of selections pushes GF right out of legitimacy once again. Before diving in, let's review the details: The cost for a Month to Month is $17.90, $16.90/month for a 3-month subscription, $15.90/month for a 6-month tour and just $13.90/month for a one-year subscription. Shipping $6.00 to the US, Canada, and at least a few other countries. We use QUALITY and TIMING to base our reviews, so let's see how this box stands up. As always, we'll end our review with some additional thoughts after the unboxing: Winners As you can see, June offers very little in the way of
