Patch’s Top 10 Scary Movies for Halloween
It’s Halloween again – that week where we get to dress up like cheaply-assembled interpretations of movie and comic book characters, or, if you’re into gender-cliches, excessively cute versions of animals and inanimate objects. To celebrate, here’s my comprehensive (read: top 10 in no particular order) list of films to set the mood for your Halloween evening. I’m talking zombies. I’m talking psychopaths. I’m talking vampires, ghosts, blobs and other...
An Ode to Superhero Movies
I’ve wanted to reflect on the current state of superhero movies for a while now. It seems like it’s easy to forget that as little as 15 years ago, we were still without an ‘X-Men’ film—let alone a full suite of Marvel spin-off features. We were still contending with Batman & Robin; you could be forgiven for thinking maybe Hollywood would never get a decent super-flick to surpass 70s-epic ‘Superman’ or Tim Burton’s 1989 ‘Batman’ for sheer overarching quality. Turns out, it was just a matter of...
The Week in Geek Issue # 121
Greetings dear readers! The writer’s been busy this week with his latest gaming project which has necessitated the purchase of a lot of research and reference material, including such items as The 1960’s Decade Book for the Spycraft RPG, The Torchwood Archives and a collection of early Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D comics. What will result from this? That would be telling… The big news this week is, of course, the Iron Man 3 trailer! Marvel have been drip feeding information...
The Sun Sets on Twilight
Being a Twilight fan must be something like openly admitting you’re a Scientologist. I mean, you’re more than entitled to your passions, but you’re also probably going to raise a few eyebrows. With Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 coming out soon, those same fans must be starting to scratch their collective heads at what might be next for the series—and for their fandom. What becomes of the Twilight fan, post-film? How can marketers and producers keep the fires of fan passion...
The Week in Geek Issue #120
Greetings dear readers! Owing to a combination of factors we won’t go into, the writer has spent this week swinging between wide eyed joy and white hot rage (‘So what else is new?‘ I hear you think) so this week’s newsletter might be a tad unbalanced. Normal service should be resumed next week, at least as normal as we get... Last weekend saw the New York Comic Con, which had all manger of geek goodness! We’re not sure were to begin with our coverage,...

The Week in Geek Issue # 119
Hello again dear readers! Ordinarily around this time of year is when we start complaining about the Summer weather, or as we call it, “I’m melting, MELTING!” That’s proven tricky, as this week seems to have been comprised of just about every type of weather in the book, barring (thankfully) blizzards. And now that I’ve mentioned blizzards, I’m sure one will make my evening trip home tonight that little bit more interesting… We begin...
DREDD 3D - You be the judge.
DREDD 3D is set in a post-apocalyptic American metropolis, overburdened by crime and corruption. Criminals rule the chaotic streets with no regard for human life. The only hope civilisation has lies in the hands of the urban law enforcers known as ‘Judges’, who serve as judge, jury, and executioner to anyone that stands in the way of justice. The film revolves around an infamous Judge by the name of Dredd (played by Karl Urban), who is given the task of evaluating and...
The Week in Geek Issue # 118
Greetings dear readers! First off, apologies for notinbeg with you the last couple of weeks. There's been technical issues beyond our control, but fear not, we have returned to guide, inform and entertain you all! The writer’s long weekend was fantastic, if you ignore the case of Con-Flu he picked up. This has left him slightly disorientated, so if this newsletter’s a bit loopier than normal, well, yeah… Normal service will resume as soon as possible. Moving...
