Captain's Log, Stardate 41153.7

By


...I am becoming better acquainted with my new command this Galaxy-class USS Enterprise. I am still somewhat in awe of its size and complexity. As for my crew, we are short in several key positions most notably, a first officer...

Actually, I already have a first officer, though she's more accurately a co-captain. My sister Sarah and I are starting this blog so that we can report on all things geeky. I'm very excited about all the different things that we're going to be able to do with this. We will be including our fangirl favorite of the week, convention coverage, movie reviews, geeky crafts (we ARE girls after all), noteworthy cosplay, interviews and much much more! It will be a new adventure for both of us and I hope that we're able to provide information and entertainment for everyone!

Since this is just the beginning and things aren't up and running at full speed, I'll just add a couple of notes of things to come. Tomorrow night we'll be watching Pacific Rim and will be able to add our movie review! A war between humankind in robot suits and giant sea creatures?? Sounds geeky to me! Of the cast, I have to say I'm most excited to see Idris Elba (Losers), and Burn Gorman (Torchwood). Look for our review in the next couple days.

Right now, there is so much to geek out about. San Diego Comic Con is starting in just a few days and Sarah and I have been having a great time keeping up with the Course of the Force as everyone prepares for the convention. Unfortunately, neither of us are able to be in the California area for all of the festivities, but we're able to see a bit of the fun with these cool videos...

One more thing that we have to look forward to is Chicago Comic Con. There are only 24 more days until this exciting event! The lineup really is amazing. They have Stan Lee, Norman Reedus, Zachary Quinto, John Barrowman, Summer Glau, Will Wheaton, CM Punk, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin, James and Oliver Phelps, James Marsters, Eddie McClintock and Juliet Landau. Of course, there are many more people, but these are just some of my favorites. I'll be paying a visit to my friend Jeff Balke while he hangs with the rest of the artists. I will be spending serious time over at the Comic Book Displays booth as their "booth babe". If you happen to be coming to the con, please come and visit us!

That'll about wrap it up for now. There will also be a podcast coming along soon. We'll post more info on that later. In the meantime, leave feedback for movies you'd like reviewed, people you want us to interview, cosplay that you'd like to see done, conventions you'd like to see covered, etc. We want to help you connect with your favorite geektastic stuff!


Till next time,
The Geek Girls

The World's End Review

By
Graphics Girl and I went to the movies a few days ago. I was feeling awful physically, so she decided that we needed a comedy and I didn't protest since it was written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg. The gang's back together in The World's End. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, and Eddie Marsan are five guys who, with the encouragement of their once fearless leader, Gary King, (Pegg) have decided to go back to their hometown and do the pub crawl that they had tried back in 1990. Gary hasn't grown up at all over the years, but when things get hairy and the boys have a run in with some robots, they decide to follow his lead anyway and attempt to finish the crawl which culminates at The World's End. This movie is brilliantly done. The story plays like a comedy, but has elements of action, sci-fi, and thriller films. Once you start to realize how much your stomach hurts from laughter, they throw in a touching moment or a well choreographed fi...

Heroes in a Half Shell

By graphics_girl
A couple weeks ago, before stuff started showing up on the internet about the new Michael Bay movie, I decided to watch the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie with my boys. So, here's the jist of the story. Four tiny turtles begin a huge transformation after coming in contact with a mysterious green ooze. A rat who was once the pet of a great ninja master "adopts" them and teaches them the way of the ninja. While the turtles are studying in the sewers, there is a crime wave blanketing the city above. Robberies are on the rise and TV reporter April O'Neil finds herself a one of the latest victims. Unexpectedly, the streetlamp goes out....and when it goes back on, she's sitting next to a tied up pile of her attackers! Leave it to a reporter to get to the bottom of the story! April finds that behind this crime ring is the Foot Clan, led by the evil Shredder and he's not happy that she's onto him and he sends his henchmen to take care of ...

I'm Gonna Hack You In Two With A Hatchet

By
No, this week's TBT is not a horror flick. This just happens to be one of the most hilarious lines from a little known made for tv movie called Camp Cucamonga. For some reason, it's always been a family favorite. We were all able to get together this past weekend to celebrate my mother's birthday and there were several references, including part of the rap from the movie. Yup...that's just the kind of family we are.   The movie was released for television in September of 1990 basically just to display a plethora of popular television actors of the time, but ended up being a quality product despite some of the cheese. The title was briefly changed to How I Spent My Summer, but now can be found again under the original title. The all-star cast included Candace Cameron (Full House) and Jaleel White (Family Matters), which covered our TGIF days. Then we have Josh Saviano and Danica McKellar from The Wonder Years. We also get to see heartthrob Chad Allen from My Two Da...
