Angry Nerd - Will the New U.K. Import “Gracepoint" Join the Ranks of “The Office,” “House of Cards,” and “Shameless”?

The British are coming. Can the new crime drama Gracepoint (based on the U.K. hit Broadchurch) find success stateside and join the shortlist of Brit expats that found their footing on red, white, and blue T.V.s, like The Office, House of Cards, and Shameless?

Angry Nerd - Horror Movie Cliches that Deserve to be Slaughtered

Angry Nerd is sick of the latest crop of cliché killer movies. Do we really need Michael Bay bringing another Hasbro product to life with “Ouija"? Who asked for the new wannabe “Blair Witch Project” called “Exists”? Angry Nerd explains why the only frightening thing this Halloween is the surplus of crappy horror flicks.

Angry Nerd - Big Hero 6 is More Than Just a Disney-fied Version of a Marvel Classic

When Disney announced the launch of Big Hero 6, Angry Nerd was skeptical it’d turn into another kid-friendly version of Marvel IP. Turns out the House of Mouse was able to adapt the classic comic (albeit with a few major changes) into an entertaining animated feature that’s not just another Disney dud.

Angry Nerd - Hate to Say It, But "Dumb and Dumber To" Is Destined to Fail

The original came out nearly 20 years ago, yet now is when we’re finally getting the follow up to “Dumb and Dumber.” Angry Nerd explains why the new Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels release has already missed the mark in terms of historical relevancy, and why it’s destined to fall victim to the curse of the long-delayed movie sequel.

Angry Nerd - "Hunger Games" and the Terrible Trend of Turning a Book into Two Movies

Why turn one book into one movie, when you can turn it into two? Despite “Mockingjay” being the weakest book in “The Hunger Games” series, movie execs have decided to translate it into a two-part film. Angry Nerd explains why the stretch from one to two is a terrible trend that needs to end.

Angry Nerd - "Penguins of Madagascar" & Animated Spin-offs that Rock

Animated sequels are nothing compared to their spin-offs. Why watch “Madagascar 4” when the new “Penguins of Madagascar” looks infinitely better and it isn’t bound to the original template? Angry Nerd explains why he’ll take animated spin-offs like “Puss in Boots” to another “Shrek” any day.

Angry Nerd - The Trouble with Turning “12 Monkeys” the Movie Into “12 Monkeys” the TV Show

The 1995 sci-fi flick “12 Monkeys” is about to become a TV show. This worries Angry Nerd—movies-turned-TV-shows don’t have the best track record. Sure, “Fargo” turned out fine, but let’s not forget the short-lived tragedy “Ferris Bueller”…

Angry Nerd - Is SpongeBob Ready to Move from a Pineapple to the Real World?

SpongeBob Squarepants is about to upgrade from a television cartoon to a movie cartoon—alongside real, non-cartoon people. It’s a tough combo to pull off. For every “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” there’s a “Space Jam.” Or “Chipmunks.” Or “Smurfs.” Actually there’s more in the red column. Anyway, Angry Nerd is cautiously optimistic—for now.

Angry Nerd - Channing Tatum as a Douchey Elf? No Thanks, “Jupiter Ascending”

It’s true that the “Jupiter Ascending” trailer makes the otherwise scrumptious Channing Tatum look like the douchiest elf in all of Middle-Earth. But the troubling part of the movie isn’t the prosthetic ears—it’s the insidious idea that only people fated to do great things can become heroes. Angry Nerd has other ideas about saving the world (again).

Angry Nerd - Why "50 Shades of Grey" Matters to Fanfic

Honestly, Angry Nerd probably won’t see Fifty Shades of Grey. But he gets it. He does. Because poorly-written “romance” novels are right in geek culture’s wheelhouse. “Fifty Shades” is just fan-fiction—erotic and “Twilight”-derived and not in space, but fanfic nonetheless. Nerd’s built fan fiction from the ground up, and fan-fiction is what’s behind today’s biggest blockbusters.

Angry Nerd - Chappie & the Taxonomy of Movie Robots

Movie robots fall into one of three categories: the cutesy ones who do repairs (C3PO), the menacing bad guys designed to inflict pain (Mechagodzilla), and the child-like naifs who learn about the wonders and horrors of the world through experience. Angry Nerd explains why Neill Blomkamp’s new sci-fi flick “Chappie” falls into the third group and he breaks down why we need more movies that cast robots as the wide-eyed outsider.

Angry Nerd - Can Will Forte’s “The Last Man on Earth" Defy the Sci-fi TV Curse?

The new Will Forte TV show “The Last Man on Earth” is sort of a funny version of “I Am Legend,” without the vampire zombies. But science fiction comedy has a grim history on American television, as even fans of “Alf,” “Mork & Mindy,” or “3rd Rock from the Sun” would have to admit. Angry Nerd hopes Forte’s approach escapes the curse.

The new horror movie “Unfriended” uses a screen-capture format to shape the film’s narrative. But guess what? Using Facebook messages, Skype calls, and Gchats to tell a story isn’t innovative, it’s LAZY! Angry Nerd explains why the cyber-horror flick deserves an IRL “dislike."
