'The Ghostbusters Tour Of NY' - Now This Is The Way A Tourist Should See The Sights In NYC!!!
'Ghostbusters' is a classic film. one of the greatest ever. It also has to rank extremely high on the list of great "NYC movies" (movies that are primarily shot on location in NYC), right up there with 'Breakfast At Tiffany's', 'Goodfella's', 'Mean Streets' and many others. So when two film geeks (Bleeding Cool's Patrick Willems & Matt Torpey) decided to spend an afternoon hitting up all the famous locations from the film while also "sweding" (low budget re-enactments )some of the scenes from the film into a video clip that totals just over 7 minutes... well, lets just say they had my attention. Watch the excellent clip after the jump. If you are a Ghostbusters fan, this is a must see...

'Thale' - The Next Sick Ass European Horror Movie I Can't Wait To Watch!!!!
European horror movies have been kicking their American counterparts asses for quite sometime. Over the past few years some of my favorite horror movies have come from the European market. Dead Snow, Martyrs, Troll Hunter, The Last Circus, & Rare Imports... these are some of my favorite films over the past few years. Now a small Norwegian film by the name of 'Thale' is slowly building momentum after being screened at this years SXSW film festival and I am becoming very intrigued. The trailer is filled with some of my favorite things: Bloody crime scene, unlikely heroes, dingy basements, shiny guns, random scary guys, and a sexy woodland creature from Norwegian mythology known as a Huldra, aka a sexy naked bitch with a cow tail (played by the lovely Silje Reinamo)! Yup... I'm in! Check out the trailer after the jump and share your thoughts in the comment section below...

Balki & Cousin Larry Make Your Dreams Come True!!!
Anybody who watched TV in the 80s must be quite familiar with the antics of Balki Bartokomous & his Cousin Larry, aka the stars of Perfect Strangers. I always loved the fish out of water series, and Bronson Pinchot was at his all time best on the show. But did I ever think this would lead to a Perfect Strangers video game? Nope, I never did. If you are an 80s baby like me and love this show (and its awesome theme song) click here to check out the website were you can play the game. Perfection... pure perfection.

10 Reasons I Want To Watch Some Of Hollywood's Sexiest Young Actresses Get Corrupted In 'Spring Breakers'
Spring Breakers is an upcoming movie starring Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Heather Morris, and Rachel Korrine. These young starlets are all on board to play sheltered college students who are ready to get down and dirty on Spring Break. This movie is not going to be cheerful & fun... it is gonna be gritty & hood, and all you have to do is see James Franco as rapper Alien to see just how sick this movie may be. But with all of these photos of the sexy young cast running around in bikinis and thugging it out, I am highly intrigued. Check out 10 pics from the films Tumblr and draw your own conclusions...

This Sushi Restaurant Really Knows How To Attract The Geek Clientele....
Blue Ocean Sushi is located in St Louis, Missouri. It also might very well be the most geek friendly restaurant on the planet. Need proof? Check out what happened when they contracted artist Ben Brush, aka Benjamin L. Sawyer, to create an original Street Fighter mural.This must have took quite a while, so they use the time lapse technique to show you how the whole project comes together. Very f'n cool. Check out the full video after the jump....

Bo Knows The Mushroom Kingdom...
Bo Jackson is one of the greatest ATHLETES to ever suit up for any sport. Rarely is a guy this good in ONE sport, let alone TWO! Bo was a transcendent star that was forced to retire way to early due to injury. So what did he do after the retirement? Well, it seems like he has taken his talents to the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario & Luigi should take some notes... check out the video after the jump!!!

A Game of Groans: A Rant by Joe Esq
I tend not to consider myself the typical geek. I AM a geek, no question about it... I can quote Star Wars verbatim, I have an encylclopedic knowledge of 80's toys, TV, movies and music, and I love comic books and wrestling. But I tend to downplay that aspect of my personality to all but those who really know me. I try to stay well rounded and not let my geekiness dominate my personality. And lets face it, when I say I'm not typical, I mean I'm also in great shape, have an active, healthy social life, and girls absolutely ADORE me (no really, they DO). If you were casting the role of a geeky character in a movie, he certainly wouldn't look or act like me, that's for sue. And I admit, I do tend to keep my geeky tendencies a bit closeted sometimes on purpose, because other geeks freak me out a little. I'm also a lawyer, and sometimes, just for fun, I like to take a less popular stance just for the joy of arguing it (and also because being a nudge and pushing people's buttons amuses the hell outta me). So its with a great level of discomfort that I'm forced to say unequivocally that I HATE this season of Game of Thrones. And I hate that I do. I want to love this show. I want to keep giving it the benefit of the doubt because its presenting a genre I love in a medium where more people will see and appreciate it and most of all, I don't want to be the typical geek ranting abouthow STUPID HBO IS WRECKING EVERYTHING HOW DARE THEY CHANGE MY BELOVED NERD NOVELS ROOAAAARRHULKSMASH!! But the fact remains, the writers are just changing too much stuff from the source material and over the course of this season its had an absolutely jarring effect, tearing me right out watching the show and taking a wrecking ball to my ability to enjoy it.
Be forewarned, there are heavy spoilers ahead. Well, for the novels anyway. Lord knows what the producers of the show have planned, but its starting to become obvious to me that TV series is slowly becoming "based on the novels by George R R. Martin" the same way Ghostbusters was based on the 70's TV series with the gorilla.

Sean Hartter Creates A 'Sandman' Movie Poster Specifically For Neil Gaiman... Lucky!!!!
Neil Gaiman is my favorite comic book writer. Ever. Sandman is my favorite comic series. Ever. Sean Hartter has become my favorite artist I have discovered on the Internet. Ever!!! Hartter & I have become cool through our respective blogs, but I keep posting his stuff because it is simply awesome. This time he created a faux movie poster for a 'Sandman' movie at the behest of Neil Gaiman himself!!!! The poster is great, but the fact that Gaiman liked Hartter's work & wanted to see what he could do with Dream if he were the main character in a 60's era Hammer Horror Movie!!! Hartter of course killed it, down to the credits on the bottom of the page. Check the full poster out after the jump...
