The A-Z of Geek Cinema: W is for Watchmen

Watchmen

Let’s get this out of the way right now: I loved this movie when it was first released. It’s one of my favorite graphic novel/comic stories, and I’d been heavily anticipating it since the first trailer was put out with The Dark Knight. I saw 3 times in the theatre, and for an almost 3 …

The A-Z of Geek Cinema: T is for Tron: Legacy

6b820facb61c165576b7e5cba6233cd3

All the pretty lights and amazing music in the world won’t be able to overcome a lackluster plot and awful dialogue. Tron: Legacy is the poster child for this. With wonderful production design, very well-done 3D, a built-in audience nostalgic for the original, and a fantastic score by Daft Punk, the sequel to 1982′s Tron …

The A-Z of Geek Cinema: R is for Road To Perdition

awbeyrdtqfjibig

The look and feel of a film is vastly important. Different directors and cinematographers can look at the same scene as written and create completely different tableaus, with different narrative choices and focuses. Sam Mendes’ film from 2002, Road To Perdition, with cinematography done by the Academy Award winning Conrad Hall, is one such film …
