[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-vfzhfq5JA] While I’ve seen almost every Studio Ghibli film—you know, the animation studio that brought you films like Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle—I never got around to watching From Up on Poppy Hill. It’s the most recent release and, more importantly, Hayao Miyazaki’s son, Goro Miyazaki, directed the film. […]
Beautiful Creatures Was Robbed This Valentine’s Day
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9rjhB7KWEc] I cannot even begin to explain just how disappointed I am in the Valentine’s Day opening of Beautiful Creatures. Some how Safe Haven and It’s a Good Day to Die Hard managed to pull almost $9 million at the box office but Beautiful Creatures? It got the same $2.5 […]
This Valentine’s Day Watch Shakespeare, Instead of Sparks
So Valentine’s Day is coming. For us single people, it’s the worst day of the year and we just want to pretend it doesn’t exist. For the couples, it means an extra special date night. Or maybe just a movie. Now I have recently come to the conclusion that Nicholas […]
Love Never Dies… But What If It’s Technically Dead to Start With?
I think it’s pretty obvious now that we here at Nerdophiles are pretty big fans of Warm Bodies. Therese and I have been lucky enough to get the opportunity to see it not once but twice since December – well before it’s release in theaters this Friday. Waiting to tell […]

Mamá era una buena película de terror
No, this review is not in Spanish. But it does have a number of spoilers so you may want to beware. A few days ago I had the opportunity to check out the new Guillermo del Toro flick, Mama, a day or two before release thanks to a screening hosted […]
Top Five Reasons to Watch Dredd
In the past week, I’ve watched Dredd a countless amount of times since it was released on January 8th. Now I’m no super fan of the Judge Dredd series, in fact, I hadn’t even heard of the series until the movie. I was not aware it was a remake of […]
Dave Franco and Jonathan Levine Present: Warm Bodies
On January 15th, Phoenix moviegoers were once again given the opportunity to check out a pre-screening of the upcoming zombie romance film Warm Bodies. But this time there was a surprise twist! (Well, most of us know about it already but hey.) After the film, writer and director Jonathan Levine […]
A Six Month Trial of Amazon Student Means A Lot of Free Sci-Fi and Fantasy Shows and Movies
I am a big fan of Amazon Prime. As a student, I get a 50% discount on all it’s paid services and so I pay $40 a year instead of $80 like non-student members. Which is pretty sweet. Amazon Prime offers a lot of features that I think are pretty […]
