The whirlwind of casting rumors can finally be put to rest as we now have our Green Lantern – Ryan Reynolds.

This Film is Rated ‘S’ for Stupid

Posted on Thursday, July 9th, 2009 by Ryan Ferrier | 7 Comments | Barnacles, Movies

Realize it kids, we’re watching the rising sun at the dawn of the dumb.

As a passionate filmophile I’m really terrified right now. I may be young, but I’ve seen a lot of movies during my life and the last couple years have been as disappointing as they have been profound. Profound in the sense that, holy shit, we are being subjected to utter stupidity.

Posted on Monday, July 6th, 2009 by Ryan Ferrier | 1 Comment | Barnacles, Movies

If you’re a regular reader of GKS and/or other film-blogs, you may have noticed that Twilight is absent from any and all news reports here. No reviews, no trailers, no rumors, no posters, no nothing. Granted, 75% of film-blogs are taking the piss out of the film series based on the ridiculously-well selling books, there is a reason for the lack of coverage. It’s not just pure laziness.

The wait is almost over for Zach Snyder’s incredible film adaptation of Watchmen to hit DVD and Blu-Ray. The film will be released to retailers this July 21st and this one is a must-own for fans, Blu-Ray-philes and Watchmen fiends alike. As with most comic-book-super-fan-summer films, this movie will no doubt see an endless amount of releases and re-releases each with the most superficial of differences. But to us mega-fans, does it really even matter.
