Narcissists - Review

8/2/2014

by Cookie N Screen

Nearly a year ago, I’m With Geek were insanely lucky to feature a great short film from prominent filmmaker Josh Crooks. This short, named One Bad Day, focused on Batman as he dealt with an enemy from his past and an enemy within himself. Whilst the sound editing was slightly off, the stellar acting and enticing story sent waves through the I’m With Geek community and left us a little bit excited for what Crook’s had next. Fear no more, as we look at the next is Crooks’ wheelhouse – Narcissists

The progression of the civil rights movement has been a great source of stories for both film and literiture.Whether the story involves the fighters, those who suffer or those who segregate its an important section of history that audience love looking back over. In the new Lee Daniels film, The Butler, Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey lead an ensemble cast in a story of one mans quiet influence on historical events.

There is a whole plethora of Batman movies, just look at our extensive list. From the animated to the dark, the amazing to the horrible. Batman has been the topic of so many films, it is no surprise that a merry band of fans would get together in order to make their own Batman movie. Director Josh Crooks with the help of Kormorant Pictures, has created this short movie of our favourite caped crusader. The surprise here is that this film is pretty good.

The Evil Dead - A Retrospective

4/30/2013

By Josh Crooks

Sam Raimi is a film-maker with what some would call a varied career; personally, I would call it a chequered past. The name Raimi once stood tall as a true pioneer in the world of indie film-making in the same way that Linklater and Smith already do, as the three paved the way for a new movement of cinema in the eighties and early nineties. Linklater proved himself with Slacker (1991), Smith proved himself with Clerks (1994) and Raimi did it with The Evil Dead (1981). Following British controversies such as that of A Clockwork Orange upon its original release, The Evil Dead was classified by the Maggie Thatcher (rest in pieces) as a Video Nasty; joining the likes of I Spit on your Grave (1978) as a film that was deemed too graphic for public consumption, and was released straight to VHS, skipping the cinema entirely. This alone has given it a cult status among geeks the world over as to this day the gore is still brazen and bold, and still holds up as a horror classic.

Weird Cinema and the Hollywood Box Office

After seeing Trance with the family this weekend; an experience made slightly uncomfortable given the full frontal nudity, the conversation quickly led to what was referred to as: Weird Cinema, but before I get to that I need to give you some background.

Hit Stop: G.I Joe - The Rise of Cobra (2009)

With the sequel hitting cinemas this month, I though it high time to take a closer look at the film that started the franchise, and try to understand how and why a film from a massive toy conglomerate (Hasbro) has made, and is still making the big bucks. My findings are far from conclusive.

The Wolverine - Predictions

3/31/2013

By Josh Crooks

After the admittedly atrocious X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the only person keeping positive about the character's future in cinema was Hugh Jackman who, lets face it, wasn't to be trusted after his positivity and hopes for the aforementioned film. However, presumably thanks to the positive reaction to X-Men: First Class, and the once strong creative team trying to bring the original vision of Chris Claremont and Frank Miller to life, The Wolverine will be hitting our shores as early as July 26th. What I am presented with today is a trailer that pales in significance when compared with both the original story as well as what The X Men could stand for in the world of cinema.
