![Review: Ad Astra [2019]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/ad-astra-poster-review-2019-brad-pitt-809x455.jpg)
I was very pleasantly surprised by “Ad Astra”. Before going in, I read reviews and opinions that said it was too slow or slightly philosophical, so I wasn’t expecting it to be amazing. It really proved me wrong. “Ad Astra” is one of the best space movies I’ve ever seen, with amazing visuals, great acting…
![[Blind Spot 2019] June: Network (1976)](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/blind-spot-challenge-june-network-poster-review.jpg)
My June’s Blind Spot challenge pick was “Network”, a movie I only knew of because of Faye Dunaway’s Oscar win. Actually because of this photo. I chose it because I really wasn’t in the mood for a heavier movie (the likes of Apocalypse Now and Seven Samurai were waiting for me), and I’m glad I did,…
![Review: Once upon a time in Hollywood [2019]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-poster-review.jpg)
“Once upon a time in Hollywood” has been on my radar for a long time. Of course it was, it’s a Quentin Tarantino movie with a stellar cast. And since I liked most of his movies, I was bound to like this, one, too, right? Right 🙂 I did enjoy it a lot, actually. It’s…

My very delayed May viewing in the Blind Spot challenge was “Trainspotting”. It’s been on my radar for a long time, but I was somehow put off by the idea of seeing a movie about junkies. I’m kind of sad I did it now, because I really enjoyed it. Trainspotting is a 1996 movie directed…
This is my second year doing this type of list- the movies getting buzz for awards season that I want to see. Either because I am genuinely interested, or because I have the need to see in order to be in touch with the industry. Here is my list of the 2020 movie awards race…
![Review: Stranger Things- Seasons 1, 2 & 3 [TV show]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/stranger-things-cover-poster-review-1.jpg)
A year ago, Stranger Things was that Netflix kids show that my nephews loved, and nothing more. Fast forward to today, and I love it as much as they do (I’m even secretly debating getting a Funko with one of the characters- Hopper? Eleven? is there one with Steve and the bat?). What I love…

I was very excited to see “Spider-Man: Far From Home”. One, because I was curious to see what the Marvel world would look like after Endgame, but also because I love Tom Holland (and Jake Gyllenhaal). I managed to see it last night and….I liked it, but I wasn’t blown away by it. First of all,…
![Mini Reviews of Movies / TV shows I’ve Seen Lately [2]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/mini-reviews-2-809x293.jpg)
Here are some extra short reviews / thoughts on some of the movies and TV shows I’ve seen recently: Aladdin was entertaining, but it didn’t stand out in any way for me. I loved the visual aspect of it (cinematography, set design, costumes) and I thought the casting (and acting) was also great, I really…
![Review: Snowpiercer [2013]](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/snowpiercer-2013-poster-review.jpg)
I watched “Snowpiercer” a couple of days ago on Netflix and I loved everything about it. It’s a dystopian film directed by Joon-Ho Bong where the last people on Earth survive on a constantly moving train. Firstly, the acting was perfect and believable, considering the dystopian aspect of it. I especially enjoyed Tilda Swinton, Ko…
I’ve had the John Wick movies on my To Watch list for a long time, but after the third one came out and the internet exploded, they became a priority. And after Margaret from Cinematic Corner fell in love (and lust) with Keanu Reeves, it became an obligation / requirement 🙂 But I was more…
