It may have taken 25 years, but the trend started with Clue has finally started catching on. A remake is in the works along with film versions of Monopoly, Battleship, Risk, Candyland and even a film based on the Ouija Board.
With the summer blockbuster season about to touch down we thought it would be a good idea to give some attention to a smaller film- indie superhero flick “Defendor”. We also reminisce about G.I. Joe and the A-Team, review the Blu Ray of Nightmare on Elm Street, and try to figure out what’s wrong with the Batman books.
We grew up in an age of interactive toys, super water guns, giant vehicles, and vast play sets. We even had metal cars that turn into robots.
We talk about some good TV this week in FX’s “Justified” and HBO’s “The Pacific”, We review “How To Train Your Dragon” and “Hot Tub Time Machine”, Bob gives us his top 5 time travel movies of all time, and we give you our breakdown of 2010 so far.
To be honest some of these toys get pricey. The list works itself from cheapest to taking out a second mortgage, but your geek is worth it.
We are joined this week by our favorite geek girl- Tara Bennett, Co-Author of The Official Lost Encyclopedia, and head writer of the Official Lost Magazine. She gives us the scoop on her upcoming Lost tome, and we give our thoughts on Lost at it’s final season mid-point. Plus news, Toy Story on Blu-ray and a Bob Trate rant!
After watching the film again, in glorious Blu-ray I had a hankering for two things. The first was more Robert Downey Jr. or RDJ. Thankfully that wait grows shorter by the minute as Iron Man 2 is right around the corner. The second was for some more Sherlock Holmes. So here are 10 titles to get you through the long wait until May 7th for Iron Man 2 and 2011 when the next Sherlock Holmes is scheduled to be released.
I turned to the good people and master craftsmen at Sideshow Collectibles for my sports car of an action figure.
