Best Young Adult Movies

6/20/2014

by Hayley Charlesworth

With the cinematic release of young adult behemoth The Fault in Our Stars this week, all attention has turned to the successes and failures of young adult adaptations in cinema. And while most of the attention these days seems to be focused on teenagers surviving supernatural or dystopic worlds, John Green’s story of cancer sufferers in love reminds us that teen success can also be found much closer to our reality. In celebration, I’m With Geek runs down just some of the best book-to-film young adult adaptations.

Best New York Musicals

6/20/2014

by Laura W

If there’s anything that New York is known for, it’s musicals. Apart from museums, food, being the city that never sleeps, The Empire State Building, shopping, the Rockettes, the Yankees and more, New York is known for its Broadway shows. However, New York has also been the setting for some of the most famous musicals in the world. In honour of the upcoming release of Jersey Boys, let’s have a peek at a few of those.

Best Films About Food

6/19/2014

by Cookie N Screen

Food has always been part of the cinematic experience. From freshly made popcorn to hot-dogs, cinema and food have gone hand in hand for years. After all, those floors aren’t sticky all by themselves (and no, not for that reason either.) But what about movies about food? Can our love for the fine dine or chunky takeaway really translate will to the silver screen? The 25th of June sees the release of Chef, a movie about a restaurateur attempting to regain his passion for food. With that in mind, let’s have a look at some of the best tasty adventures in the kitchen of the cinema.

What The Dickens?

6/17/2014

by Hayley Charlesworth

Dickens is no stranger to the cinema screen. Adaptations of his work have lit up the silver screen for decades, and The Invisible Woman, released on DVD this week, is only the latest in that long list. But why is Dickens' work such an important source of inspiration for film-makers? There's his colourful, unique characterisation, endlessly relatable situations of society's downtrodden, or simply fantastic storytelling. Whatever the reason, Dickens' work has made for some fine cinema. Here are just some of the very best.

Best Dance Movies

6/9/2014

by Melissa Haggar

Sweeping screens since way-back-when, the legendary dance movie is one that has proved successful and utterly catastrophic for cinema and producers alike. Ultimately difficult to get just ‘right’, the dance movie has to contain enough of a plot to sustain the feature on its own, and inevitably be backed up by a load of super stellar dance moves that delight and entertain in equal measure. With the release of Cuban Fury out on DVD this week, it seems only fitting that we should bust a move down memory lane and check out some of the all-time Best Dance Movies.

Top Ten Long Takes In Film

11/9/2013

by Paul Costello

The long take is, well, fairly self-explanatory. It’s when a director eschews a traditional style of cutting between differing shots during a given scene and allows the take to roll on for an extended period of time. It’s a pretty ballsy move to adopt this particular trick, and the longer and more complicated the set-up, the greater the potential for mistakes to be made. Just remember, if you’re 15 minutes into a planned 20 minute take and someone flubs a line or the boom mic slides into shot, you have to cut, reset the scene and go again from the beginning. It can be a technical, and potentially a financial nightmare.

The Best Sex Scenes in Cinema

9/8/2013

By the IWG Team.

This week it was announced that Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson have filled the lead roles of impending 50 Shades of Grey movie. The film, based on a series of famous book, sees the characters get in on as many times as humanely possible because the book is simply overdone Twilight fan-fiction. This means that we will no doubt be subjected to a movie with so much sex that it should be classed as porn. So together, the I’m With Geek team have put our brains (and bodies) together to bring you the best sex scenes in cinematic history, for good and bad reasons.

Let’s get it on...
