Episode 2; It’s a Good Day to be Disappointed
In this episode we discuss the upcoming Oscars, Matt gives his Die Hard review, and we round if off with some random movie news.
Welcome!!!
We have exciting new updates to the Bleed Geek Movies website to let you know about. Recently we made the decision to allow take the monthly movies segment from the regular Bleed Geek podcast and let it spread its wings to fly on its own twice a month with its own podcast. We will be planning to record these podcasts on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month (the first one was just posted up on the website, and we will be recording episode 2 tomorrow night). During the podcast we will discuss the latest movie news, give reviews for new films, and of course in true Bleed Geek fashion we will go ahead and talk about whatever else we feel like.
On the website we will continue to post reviews for the new movies Dave and I see. Here at Bleed Geek Movies we use a Popcorn bucket reviewing system, where 5 Popcorn is our highest score and 0 buckets would be lowest. Along with the reviews we will continue to post trailers for upcoming movies that we are excited about Another new element that you will notice on the site is that we have reopened the comments section. When we first launched this site nearly a year ago the comments quickly became filled with spam so we closed the comments section. Now the comments will be run through Facebook, which should cut down on spam comments (though I will miss the encouraging spammers that would tell me how much they appreciate this blog site). Now that this is up and running I am looking forward to posting some best of lists and articles that will hopefully lead to some conversations in the comments section.
Please go and check out our new Facebook page www.facebook.com/BleedGeekMovies, and give us a like. You can now also follow us on twitter @bleedgeekmovies.
Hopefully you will find the Bleed Geek Movies site a fun place to come and talk movies with some fellow Geeks. Enjoy!!

Our First Episode
This is our first episode, we will let you know what we are all about and talk about some upcoming movies.
A Good Day To Die Hard: Review
As a big fan of the Die Hard series I went into A Good Day to Die Hard expecting to have a good time. I consider Die Hard to be one of my all time favorite movies, and I have enjoyed all of the subsequent sequels, that is until A Good Day to Die Hard. Simply put A Good Day to Die Hard just does not feel like a Die Hard movie. As I was sitting in the theater watching the movie I kept thinking to myself that something felt off, something was wrong.

Taken 2: Review
Taken 2 Review
I am going to steal a line from the short lived 90’s animated series The Critic to best sum up my feelings about the new Liam Neeson action thriller Taken 2… “It Stinks!!!” Continue reading
Liberal Arts REVIEW
“What I love about improv is that it makes you always say yes, and then add something.” -Zibby
As someone who has attempted improv before, and has seen it done well I would have to agree with this statement. Nothing will halt a sketch faster than someone saying no, someone fighting against your choice or what you just said, or simply ignoring it. The best improv teams (and actors in general) say “YES” to the situation and dive in 110%. That is what helps make things grow to be so hilarious because they believe they are in this situation, and therefore, so do you.
Now, sadly, this film is not one giant improv show. But I enjoyed it all the same.
I have been waiting for LIBERAL ARTS to be released ever since I heard about it early this year. LIBERAL ARTS is Josh Radnor’s (How I Met Your Mother) sophomore feature film, and following in the same pattern as his debut, HAPPYTHANKYOUMOREPLEASE (actual title…my space bar is working just fine), Radnor is the writer, director and lead actor in this film. And once again he has given us a film worth watching. Continue reading
The Campaign: Review
The Campaign Review
The Campaign is a smart and funny new comedy that makes fun of something that is very deserving of being mocked, political campaigns. Surprisingly the film manages to avoid dealing with the differences between Republicans and Democrats, and instead highlights how similar they are in their attempts to win votes. As someone who is extremely cynical when it comes to American politics I found most of the humor in this movie right up my alley. Continue reading
The Dark Knight Rises Review
The Dark Knight Rises: Review
With The Dark Knight Rises Christopher Nolan completes his Batman trilogy that started in 2005 with Batman Begins and was continued 2008’s The Dark Knight. I will go ahead and answer the big question right away, how does this new movie compare to Nolan’s first two Batman movies? The Dark Knight Rises is not as good as The Dark Knight (you can argue that not only is The Dark Knight the best Batman movie it is also one of the best comic book movies made), at the same time I think this new movie is as good as if not a little better than Batman Begins. Continue reading
Prometheus Review
Prometheus Review
Sometimes having high expectations for movie can be a rewarding experience, I was expecting great things from Joss Whedon’s The Avengers and when it delivered everything I had hoped for I felt validated and rewarded. At the same time having high expectations can make a movies flaws and shortcomings even worse, just look at 2009’s Terminator: Salvation where the trailers and the marketing campaign got my extremely excited only to have the film itself let me down. My expectations for Ridley Scott’s new film Prometheus were extremely high, so the big question is did the meet those expectations? Unfortunately I have to say that for me Prometheus was a bit of a disappointment. Continue reading
