Oh So Geeky

One of the things I love most about The Walking Dead is the music. Originally composed scores by Bear McCreary, and songs by musicians like Sharon Von Etten, compliment some of the most gruesome scenes.  With intensity and pure suspense, his scores let us know when dangerous enemies are ready to attack, anti-heroes are holding onto their sanity, and the group is facing adversities ahead. Sometimes it's difficult to listen to the songs on their own and not think of some of the more painful instances we lost a beloved character or an obstacle changed the course for the group's survival. The music itself is a character of the show, and I thought it was time to highlight ten of my favorite songs from The Walking Dead. (Spoilers ahead)

Marie Bergeron Summer is coming to a close, and with it, a string of movies that were both hits and misses as the box office. Check out a collection of beautiful posters of the go-big-or-go-home flicks we caught at the theaters. What was your favorite artwork of the summer?

Turner Classic Movie channel airs classic films from the inception of cinema to the early 1980s - uncut and commercial free. In August every day is dedicated to a unique movie star with a 24-hour marathon. August 1st may center around Vivien Leigh, August 2nd Elvis Presley, and so on. My mother raised me with Classic Hollywood film, but mainstream entertainment is a passion too. It's nearly impossible to divide which era of Hollywood is favorable or better because I "live" in both worlds. This often brings up the question: which actors from today, or near-today's, film generation may be featured in the future. Currently, TCM's selection of films revolves around old Hollywood with varying degrees of recent movies that earned recognition at the Academy Awards. As I grow older, I hope their collection expands including modern films which still upholds what it means to be a time-honored classic and is worthy enough to be on their programming. Tons of favorite ac...

Scott Pilgrim piggybacks off of his roommate Wallace (Kiernan Cullen) while dating Knives (Ellen Wong), a young seventeen year old girl. Jobless, he sorta has one goal in life as a bassist for Sex Bo-ombs, which struggles landing a record deal let alone fans (except for Knives). Inconsiderate and a bit selfish, his limited dreams change when he meets an elusive and intriguing Ramona Flowers (Mary-Elizabeth Winstead) at a party. Like all dream girls there's something more to Flowers than meets the eye. She's had a rough past falling in love with all the wrong people. No one has moved through life without carrying a little emotional baggage. No matter how much we think we may have moved on from an ex, some part of history boils onto the next chapter of our lives. Every character in this world deals with rejection at some point. The major problem here is that Flowers' exes return to haunt her and challenge any guy who steps up to the plate. Only their brawls aren't d...

Photo Credit: Love Rosie / Lionsgate When have you missed the perfect moment to tell someone that you love them? It could be a once in a lifetime or every day opportunity. For inseparable best friends Rosie (Lily Collins) and Alex (Sam Claflin), their true feelings take a backseat to fear and juvenile naivete. During their escape out of London to pursue college in America, Rosie gets pregnant as Alex (who is NOT the father) chases his dreams across the pond. As they grow up, the distance between them becomes a hindrance and ally. Love, Rosie,  like many romantic comedies, explores when two people are a perfect fit but can't or won't admit how much they love each other. Over the span of twelve years from teenage-dom to adulthood, something always tarnishes that little amount of courage that rises to the occasion. Rather than delving down the dramatic route, the film is a surprising upbeat and tender procrastinator of happy-ever-after. Balancing the timeline between ages an...

The Hunger Games symbol Franchises can be universally loved, hated, or a mix of in-between. No series wins the hearts of absolutely everyone . After the monumental success of Harry Potter , Hollywood started its crusade of the Next Big Young Adult Phenomenons. Many a teenage flick has tried to fill the void left by the Boy Who Lived. Only one has been the most successful:  The Hunger Games . A part of me is truly excited for the epic conclusion with  Mockingjay Part 2 . A three year journey will end. Another part is not so happy. It doesn't feel like the revolution I signed up for. My inner fangirl has a major love and hate relationship with this series.
