FAN FILM: Smile
It has been a long time coming but Nicholas “The Little Geek” McVay’s (yes, he is my son) Batman fan film “Smile” is finally here. This is what Nicholas wrote on his YouTube channel:
“Smile”
There have been countless murders in Gotham city of many people including the deputy mayor Clyde and the one and only thing these murders have in common is they all have a big Smile on there face. It’s up to Batman to find out who is committing these murders and to stop him. But things might get out of hand…It’s finally done almost half a year in the making and lots of work. Thanks to all of you for being patient this is my best animation yet I think so I hope you guys like this film.
I really enjoyed it and I think if you listen carefully you might even hear some familiar voices

Films are our life here at Geek actually, really, its in the word geek. Unlike other people we don’t just watch a film a week or go to the cinema for the big films. We live, breath and dream about our passions. Naturally, this means we watch a huge amount of films. Some are great, some are absolutely trash. This new section of the site explores the films we usually don’t report on. The worst of the worst. The films that you will see here probably never made cinema and often very nearly missed DVD altogether. Welcome to Josh’s Bargain Basement Movies.
Pulse 2: Afterlife
Did you ever have that friend that tried a little to hard? When everyone was into something popular, they were always the one that had the deluxe edition and all the add ons? Well, Pulse 2: Afterlife is kind of like that friend. With this film following on from a horror that was average to begin with, the most you would expect is some good deaths and possibly some interesting additions to the series mythology. However Pulse 2: Afterlife aims much higher than that, it wants to give you drama, tension, passion and horror. Failing at all of the above.

CLIPS: Young Adult
Paramount Pictures australia have just made five new clips from the new Jason Reitman (“Up In The Air”) directed “Young Adult”. The new film is written by Diablo Cody who received great acclaim for her screenplay for “Juno” also directed by Reitman.
According to Paramount, ”Charlize Theron plays Mavis Gary, a writer of teen literature who returns to her small hometown to relive her glory days and attempt to reclaim her happily married high school sweetheart (Patrick Wilson). When returning home proves more difficult than she thought, Mavis forms an unusual bond with a former classmate (Patton Oswalt) who hasn’t quite gotten over high school, either.”
I am looking forward to this film as I am a fan of Reitman, “Up in the Air” was one of my favourite films of 2009, and Charlize Theron has been receiving huge praise (and a Golden Globe nomination) for her vaguely sociopathic performance.
“Young Adult” is opening across Australia on the 19th of January 2012.

Our good friends over at Paramount Pictures Australia have just made two new clips available for the magnificent new Martin Scorsese film “Hugo”. These clips really show off the fantastic visual style of the film and the first clip in particular really gives you a sense of the heart that this film has.
Throughout his extraordinary career, Academy Award-wining director Martin Scorsese has brought his unique vision and dazzling gifts to life in a series of unforgettable films. This holiday season the legendary storyteller invites you to join him on a thrilling journey to a magical world with his first-ever 3-D film, based on Brian Selznick’s award-winning, imaginative New York Times best-seller, “The Invention of Hugo Cabret.” Hugo is the astonishing adventure of a wily and resourceful boy whose quest to unlock a secret left to him by his father will transform Hugo and all those around him, and reveal a safe and loving place he can call home. (Source: Paramount)
“Hugo” stars Asa Butterfield, Chloe Moretz, Ben KIngsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ray Winstone and Christopher Lee. It opens across Australia on January 12th 2012.
