Happy New Year! And Things to Come...

Happy New Year everyone!  I would like to apologize again for the lack of content around here over the back half of 2016.  The good news is that in between the dropping of my part time job and the hub-bub of the busy holiday season, I've been quietly working on a couple of things that will hopefully get content updates back on track around here.  Now that the calendar has turned to 2017, I thought it was a good time to touch base and let everyone know that some new, hopefully fun stuff will be on the way.  I'm not quite sure on the timeline yet, but keep an eye here, on facebook, google+, or twitter for future updates.

I'd also like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to you all for your continued interest and support of my hobby and my little corner of the interwebs!

- Tim (your Nerd in the 'Noke)

Review - Iron Man 3

Image
Iron Man 3 (2013), PG-13, 130 minutes - Iron Man 3.  Wow.  There's quite a bit to say and I'm not really sure where to start (and that's after thinking about it all last night and this morning).  There were things that I liked and things that I didn't.  I'm not sure that I've worked it all out yet, but I do know this for sure: there will be a longer than usual spoiler section at the end of this post. Iron Man 3 starts off with a narration from Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) himself, thinking aloud, trying to figure out how to best tell the story of how he has gotten to this point in his life.  He starts once, stops, then starts again, flashing back to a technology conference held over New Year's of 2000, settling on that as the point at which everything currently happening can be traced back to.  That flashback sequence sets up some of the major players of Iron Man 3, Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce), and Maya Hansen (Rebecca Hall) as well as giving us a y

Review - Mama

Image
Mama (2013), PG-13, 100 minutes - Jessica Chastain is ruling the box office right now, starring in the two top grossing movies in theaters this past week.  One is Zero Dark Thirty (for which she earned an Oscar nomination for Best Actress), and the other is this little horror film based right here in Virginia (it had a $15 million budget and made over $32 million over its first week). Mama begins in tragedy just after the beginning of the financial collapse in 2008, a man named Jeffrey (Nikolaj Costar-Waldau) murders a co-worker and his estranged wife before taking his two daughters (three year old Victoria and one year old Lilly) and fleeing town.  Driving too fast on snow covered roads, he loses control and they slide off the side of a mountain road and crash in the woods.  The three of them survive the wreck and come across an abandoned cabin after fleeing the scene.  Once he's started a fire, Jeffrey breaks down in another room.  After regaining some composure, he comes
