Gender swap Aquaman cosplay

May 13, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This striking cosplay by Tenleid (over 7,000 Facebook Likes) benefits from a fantastic location and photography. The costume, I think, is pretty accurate for Aquaman too. It’s just that Aquaman never quite shared a body shape with Tenleid.

SyFy step up the sci-fi with Dominion

May 13, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Rather than starting at the beginning so every one can catch up – SyFy have done the mature geek thing of launching a series that follows on from where the movie left off. The catch? I don’t think I ever got around to watching Paul Bettany in Scott Stewart’s Legion film even though it ticks […]

Phanto of the Mushroom Kingdom

May 12, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There’s a lot of geek cred in Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera and I don’t mind admitting that I like Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical version. I’m clearly not the only geek who feels this way as Random Encounters have been inspired. After Princess Peach manages to musically destroy much of the Mushroom Kingdom […]

Demonic chaos: A review of the Blue Exorcist movie

May 12, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

I’ve reviewed the two parts of the Blue Exorcist TV show on Geek Native and rather enjoyed the show. Those encounters were based on the subbed version of the anime. I jumped at the chance to watch Blue Exorcist: The Movie at my local indie cinema but made a surprise discovery when I got there. […]
