PACIFIC RIM UPRISING [Review]: Prepare For Titanfall.

Pacific Rim seemed like the type of blockbuster film that was designed not to be successful.

The film went on to make over $300 million overseas and its success in foreign waters is the main …

GODZILLA [Review]: GodzillaLOVESGeeks.

SPOILER ALERT: A 350-foot monster destroys stuff. People run. Bad acting ensues. But, thankfully, that's not all. Much like last week's wickedly-web-split of Amazing Spider-Man 2, the All-New Godzilla NOW! offers two films: One, that is very cheer worthy, and a second, that should make you appreciate Pacific Rim that much more.

TOP 10 MOVIES of 2013 [Geeks vs. Oscars]: ‘Stuck’ in the Middle with You..

PACIFIC RIM [Review]: Finally, that ‘Smart’ Summer Blockbuster.

Only when the massive monsters and giant mechs do all the talking, of course. Pacific Rim is the most interesting movie of the year, if only because the premise reads like a dumb b-movie idea from a state college C+ film student (read: me), but lays behind one of Hollywood's brightest minds in Guillermo del …
