The first reviews for the Stephen King movie adaptation of ‘The Dark Tower’ are in – and it’s not looking good. At the time of writing this article, the film currently sits at an 18% on Rotten Tomatoes. Here are some of the notable reviews: San Francisco Chronicle: “The Dark Tower” could have been a better movie – not good, but better – had McConaughey and Elba switched roles. Newsday: Despite two fine actors in key roles, and the efforts of a four-man screenwriting team to strip King’s story down to its basics, “The Dark Tower” still makes virtually no sense, even…

While it’s always wonderful to see stories of people doing things that are out of the ordinary or going the extra mile just to help someone out – it’s also good to be reminded just how shitty certain people can be. AKA – being brought back to the real world. Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, shockingly committed suicide a couple of weeks back and it sent shock raves through the Rock Music Community. According to Rock Feed, though, one low life was selling items from the singer’s funeral – for tens of thousands of dollars! Personal items given…

Just last week, we were given a brand new trailer for the upcoming movie adaptation of Stephen King’s It. It featured a somewhat better look at Bill Skarsgard’s performance as Pennywise The Clown, but still left out quite a bit of it. Well, now, a new Latin TV spot has been released – and it definitely features the best overall look at the character. We also get to hear quite a bit of his voice: It’s no surprise that it comes off as generally unsettling, as the film has already been called one of the five most scariest films ever…

Just last week, we reported on a story about one review of Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, which said that the film might rub some people the wrong way for its lack of ‘gender and racial diversity’. The writer of that review was promptly blasted on Twitter after various different outlets reported on it. Now, it appears that another reviewer didn’t really care for the film – because it just ‘screams men-only’. Per the headline of the Marie Claire review: The review kicks off with this: That movie was fucking bomb. That was one reaction I overheard after watching Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan’s new…

Although MTV has drastically fallen off a cliff over the past 15 years (probably more), one thing that was generally perceived as iconic, was its Moonman award. Okay, maybe not iconic, but still a pretty popular and known thing. Well, now, it appears that it will no longer be called the Moonman. Instead, it will be called the Moon Person. While speaking to The New York Times, MTV President Chris McCarthy said the following about the change: “Why should it be a man?” He added: “It could be a man, it could be a woman, it could be transgender, it…

Spider-Man: Homecoming was released last month, and pretty much everyone was a fan of it. That is, of course, besides Tobey Maguire Spider-Man star Kirsten Dunst. Over the course of May and June, Dunst made some pretty interesting comments about the Marvel Cinematic Universe film: “We made the best ones, so who cares? I’m like, ‘You make it all you want.’ They’re just milking that cow for money. It’s so obvious. You know what I mean?” She also said: “I don’t care. Everyone likes our ‘Spider-Man.’ C’mon, am I right or what? Listen, I’d rather be in the first ones…

The next time we see The Incredible Hulk will be when Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters this November. It’s said that this version of The Hulk is a more “controlled” version of the character – which obviously would mean that Bruce Banner has more control over his anger. That is, apparently, until the character would have a conversation with the current President, Donald Trump. In a recent interview with TMZ, Mark Ruffalo said the following when asked what The Hulk might say if he had a talk with the President: “I don’t know what he would say,” the actor laughed. “I…

It was reported last week that Warner Bros. wanted to usher Ben Affleck out of The Batman role. Ben Affleck responded to those reports by saying the following: “Let me be clear,” said Affleck. “Batman is the greatest f–king part in the world. I am thrilled to do it.” He added: “Warners has been working on it, making sure we’re getting it right. That’s the partnership you definitely want. With Wonder Woman, they really hit a home run. With [Justice League], I think we’ve found the tone, and found the flavor of it. I’d love to do it as long as they’ll have…

Stephen King’s IT novel is finally getting a big screen adaptation. The film was in what we call ‘development hell’ for quite some time, before finally moving along with Cary Fukunaga as director and actor Will Poulter as Pennywise The Clown. For what was basically deemed as ‘creative disputes’ between Fukunaga and New Line, the director left the film and with that, Poulter left as well, saying: “I was very flattered to have the role and I was involved when Cary Fukunaga was attached to direct.” He added: “Situations have changed with regards to It as a production and many…

We’re currently in a day and age where everyone is very vocal about their political opinions. Here at ScreenGeek, we don’t really post about our political views – we just post certain stories and let you, the reader, determine what you think about a certain story or subject. The Emoji Movie doesn’t really seem like a movie that would have any type of hidden agenda. That’s because it’s aimed at kids. However, in an interview with The Huffington Post, actor T.J. Miller had some pretty interesting comments about the film: “This was an opportunity to do something optimistic, positivistic and…
