A note to the finest readers on planet Earth, as we try and get ourselves a little bit of downtime and hope you don't notice...
Dear the fine readers of Den Of Geek,
Regular readers will have rumbled what's coming already. Bear with me, though. Let me try and pad this out. I'm hoping having a picture of Madge and Harold from Neighbours at the top will distract you and put you in a fine mood too.
Amongst the many traditions that this time of the year offers, one of them is a grovelling letter from us to you, to try and get your permission to down tools for a while over the festive break. In previous years we've tried a variety of approaches, mainly centred around Jason Statham jokes and generally buttering you up. But this year, we're just going to be straight with you.
Over the next week or two,...

Holy Sleestak, Batman! For the third Thursday night in a row, I find my mouth hanging open at the end of Fox's new miniseries Wayward Pines. Bear with me while I get mildly hysterical. After recovering from the shock of another cliffhangery episode, I find myself uttering all kinds of colorful profanity. What ... The ... $&@% ... Just ... Happened? What the $&@% is the deal with Sheriff Pope? Is Beverly really dead? Then I dash off an email to my buddies and see what's happening on Twitter under hashtag 'WaywardPines'. And, guess what? Everybody else is having the same reaction. Excellent fodder for an article, methinks.
To provide some perspective, or structure -- because that is what we humans do when our universe doesn't make sense to us anymore -- I thought I'd make a list of the most shocking shockers so far on this hit. By the way, did you see that Wayward Pines...

You're seeing that damn J-Lo movie this weekend, right? I already saw it! Get this: creepier and better than you think! Definitely better than "Obsessed," which was not good or campy enough for human consumption. After you get your fix of the delicious Ryan Guzman, check back online to watch some of these classic stalker titles. Fatal Attraction (Netflix) Glenn Close is right: This movie is dated and treats mentally ill people unfairly. Here's where Glenn Close is wrong: It's still a watchable, entertaining movie still because Glenn Close is the best damn actress of the past 40 years. She is a risky artist who somehow got to be a gigantic star, and she did it by choosing projects that almost no one else could tackle. Adore her forever. "Dangerous Liaisons" is also an insane treat. Why did she do "Albert Nobbs" to us? Stalker (Hulu) The world did the right...

I don’t play first person shooters anymore. Back in the early days of the Xbox, I was a fervent, if untalented, Halo addict, staying up until all hours of the night with three friends in a cramped bedroom repeating the same loop of Hang ‘Em High, Boarding Action and Battle Creek, every game ending invariably with me at the bottom of the scoreboard. We rarely played the single-player; it was fun but it didn’t provide the same adrenaline-pumping, nerve-scraping experience we compulsively craved. I cut my teeth on Halo: Combat Evolved but it didn’t take long for me to discover that, as first-person shooters went, it won my attention by merit of being the only game of its ilk we had access to, lacking high end PCs with which we could experience the games whose shoulders it stood on to attain its marvelous heights. Years later, just...

Annie Review 1 of 5
Open Gallery
Transformers
Lorem ipsum 1 of 5
When the first trailer for Sony’s remake of Annie hit the web, my gut response was to involuntarily cringe in my seat. The brightly colored preview hit every wrong note for me, promising a traditional take on the play peppered with kid-friendly (read: unsubtle and forced) jokes and heavily auto-tuned musical numbers. So, admittedly, it wasn’t with great enthusiasm that I finally sat down to watch the final product.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m not someone who usually recoils from song-and-dance productions, or someone who haughtily looks down upon those movies that try their damnedest to leave you tapping your toes with a big, stupid grin on your face. What I am, however, is someone who’ll defend until my dying breath the importance of being earnest. And that is one trait that this new Annie lacks almost entirely.

It’s always awkward when your new boyfriend meets your ex-boyfriend… especially after you’ve told him your ex-boyfriend died. Ladies and gentlemen, we call these “Vampire Diaries problems.”

Liam and Damon came face-to-handsome-face for the first time on Thursday’s episode, triggering a flood of weirdness that took the “fun” right out of “fundraiser.” (Or did it make the evening more fun? I guess it depends on how much you enjoy cripplingly uncomfortable social situations.)
And thus began Damon and Elena’s (literal) dance down Memory Lane, but believe it or not,...

Tim here. Bear with me for a moment: we’re just about done with our month-long look at 1989 in cinema, about which I already had my say. But one of the other things that happened in animation that year was that the great Japanese animator and illustrator Osamu Tezuka passed away in February of that year, at age 60. Which is absolutely no legitimate pretext for anything, but Tezuka is an artist I’ve wanted to talk about in this space for ages, and there’s never been anything remotely resembling a good excuse to do so. So this shall have to do. It’s no fun having a bully pulpit if you can’t spread the Good News with it.
And oh, what very Good News the career of Tezuka is. You might not have ever heard his name, but you know his work: he’s largely regarded as the...

A “found footage” horror movie about werewolves? From the guys behind The Devil Inside? Bear with me, I promise there’s a light at the end of this topsy-turvy tunnel.
Where The Exorcism Of Emily Rose attempts to weigh demonic possession against mental illness, Wer calls upon the same judicial storytelling by putting a suspected werewolf on trial in hopes of proving innocence through physical ailments. Playing out like a faux-documentary, most of the film is spent watching a sassy lawyer defender her furry client, condemning a case riddled with inconsequential evidence that only the worst investigation could slum together, but a shockingly invigorated third act changes at the rising of a full moon. Writer/Director William Brent Bell and co-writer Matthew Peterman’s previous film, The Devil Inside, crumbles under the weight of vapid storytelling and an absolutely insulting ending, but these rejuvenated artists refuse to wander the same joyless road a second time.

5. Batman Begins Bear with me on this one. While not many of people have expressed much love for this game, I could remember the nights I spent playing it and just admiring the kind of atmosphere that surrounded Batman, not to mention Christian Bale's cold and emotionless voice rocking the speakers. I believe that Batman Begins showed that video game tie-ins could be better than what was normally being shat out. Seriously guys, it is nowhere close to the Bat-games we have now, but with the graphics, the feel, the cast from the film doing the voices, and the extra batsuits, it was a helluva good start. 4. Peter Jackson's King Kong I was a...
