| Geek Gear: New ‘LOST’ T-Shirt Available For 24 Hours Posted: 01 Nov 2010 11:02 PM PDT  We love TeeFury here at Geeks of Doom. For those who are not familiar with the website, they make available to you brand new pop culture geek-friendly t-shirts each and every day for a nice and cheap price. The catch here, is that the shirts are available for one day, and one day only. Many of their t-shirt designs are fantastic, and must-own if you're a fan of all things geek, but we're particularly fond of the shirts that are related to the hit show, LOST. Back in February, they had a "What Would John Locke Do?" shirt that I personally wear as often as possible to this day, and now a brand new design is for sale for one day only...right now. The shirt is called "Island Reunion" and puts a funny spin on the mythos of the Lost island. Basically, all of the characters reunite to discover that everything we wondered about for six seasons was really just a big practical joke by Jacob and The Man in Black using a smoke machine, a rubber John Locke mask, and time.

| 8 New High Resolution ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ Images Posted: 01 Nov 2010 08:54 PM PDT  Last week, EW released online the first official photo of Chris Evans as Captain America for Marvel's upcoming film Captain America: The First Avenger [Read First Official Photo Of Chris Evans As Captain America]. The image was on the cover of their most recent issue, which also contained several other photos from the film. Now, Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures have officially released the high resolution versions of eight new images. Check them out there below. The images feature Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America; Hugo Weaving as Johann Schmidt/The Red Skull; and Hayley Atwell as Major Peggy Carter, as well as a group of HYDRA soldiers and a HYDRA submarine.

| ‘The Walking Dead’ Premiere Draws Huge Ratings Posted: 01 Nov 2010 07:06 PM PDT  If there was any fear that Halloween night might have hurt ratings for The Walking Dead's opening episode, they can now be dispelled. An estimated 5.3 million people tuned in and a cumulative viewership of 8.1 million for the 11:30pm and 1am rebroadcasts of the new AMC series -- making it the highest delivery of any cable show premiere in 2010, according to the studio. Clearly people loved what they saw and with AMC pairing the show with its Fearfest horror movie marathon, I'd be shocked if those numbers didn't hold steady for following weeks as well. And for those of you who are part of movie and television check-in service Miso, you may have noticed that The Walking Dead took the first and fourth highest spots on their trending programs list last night. (This is because there were two options to check in for this show.) The super viewing majority killed the number two trending program, which was game 4 of the World Series. Check out the television ratings highlights after the jump and tell us what you thought of the episode [...]      |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2010 03:58 PM PDT  Jonah Hex Blu-ray | DVD Directed by Jimmy Hayward Staring Josh Brolin, Megan Fox, John Malkovich, Will Arnett Warner Brothers Home Video Release date: October 12, 2010 Jonah Hex is a film that deserves to be much better than it ends up being. The film is based on the western comic from DC, created in the 1970s by John Albano and Tony DeZuniga, revived in 80s and 90's in more hybrid styles (notably post-apocalyptic western and horror western), and returned to his straight western roots in 2005 by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti. It's the Gray and Palmiotti series that serves as the main inspiration for the movie, although there is plenty of the horror and supernatural aspects from the 90s thrown in. The film probably would have been better served by just focusing on the traditional western elements. If you've seen the movie, but haven't read the comic, I highly suggest giving it a shot. Certainly don't hold the movie against the comic. Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) is a former confederate soldier and current bounty hunter. He is the very definition of bad ass. He makes the Man with No Name look like a fresh on the trail farm-boy. He kills without mercy, and he's not afraid to do what ever it takes to get paid. He's set on the track of the man who killed his family, General Turnbull (John Malkovich). The General has some plan to ruin the country's centennial celebration, which conveniently ties into Hex's desire for revenge. So Hex starts tracking him down. And that's pretty much the whole plot. It's not what you would call a complicated story […]      |
| Contest: ‘Burn Notice’ Prize Pack Posted: 01 Nov 2010 09:36 AM PDT  The USA Network series Burn Notice returns with all new episodes on Thursday, November 11, at 10/9c, and to celebrate we here at Geeks of Doom have two (2) prize packs to give away to some lucky readers! Two (2) winners will each receive: -Burn Notice Season 3 DVD Set -Logo Hat -Burn Notice "Chuck Finley T-Shirt -Burn Notice Book: The Getaway One of the hottest shows on television, BURN NOTICE, returns to USA on November 11 with all new episodes on Thursdays at 10/9c. The #1 scripted series on cable in 2010 in the coveted P18-49 demo promises more suspense, more drama and more action than ever before. In its fourth season run, BURN NOTICE continues to be one of the most popular shows on television, with a record-breaking audience of 9.1 million viewers in it third season finale. BURN NOTICE stars Jeffrey Donovan as Michael Westen, a blacklisted spy who finds himself stranded in sun-soaked Miami. The action-packed season four commenced with a new counter-intelligence expert, Jesse Garcia, played by Coby Bell ("Third Watch"), who loves to fight bad guys just as much as Michael does. Also heating up the night with our hot undercover agent are Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar), the beautiful ex-IRA operative and Michael's ex-girlfriend; Sam (Bruce Campbell), our favorite washed-up military intelligence muscle; and Michael's mother (Emmy Award-winner Sharon Gless), who is one tough cookie herself. This season, we will see Michael and Jesse work together to track down a stolen document containing highly classified government secrets; we'll watch as Michael meets with Jesse's old handler one last time; see Michael escape a tactical assault team threatening his life and those around him; and even see Michael forced to work side by side with his enemy … all while the team is trying to stay one step ahead and get one step closer to figuring out the mystery behind Michael's burn notice. Upcoming guest stars include Dylan Baker, Jay Karnes, Tim Matheson, Raphael Sbarge, Leo Fitzpatrick, Alexi Gilmore, Michael Jace, Callie Thorne and Daniel Pino. […]      |
| DVD Review: Ben 10 Alien Force, Vol. 8 Posted: 01 Nov 2010 08:00 AM PDT  Ben 10 Alien Force, Vol. 8 DVD Featuring the voices of Wil Wheaton, John Dimaggio, Yuri Lowenthal Cartoon Network Release Date: August 24, 2010 If I could name this volume of Ben 10: Alien Force, I would call it "The Rogue Gallery," since the five episodes in this volume featured villains from Ben Tennyson's past. For those not familiar with the cartoon, Ben Tennyson is no ordinary teenager. Not only is he a part of a secret intergalactic police group known as the Plumbers, but he is also the sole bearer of the Omnitrix, a device that allows him to transform into various alien beings. With Gwen, his cousin and fellow Plumber, and her love interest Kevin, they embark on adventures filled with aliens, bounty hunters, and spell casters. I have reviewed my fair share of Ben 10 episodes and I am happy to report that these episodes are just as good as the previous. The quality of the writing and story is top notch for a kid's program. I am always surprised by how snappy and quick the dialogue is for a kid's cartoon, but I expect nothing less from creators of the show, the collection of comic artist and writers known as Man of Action. Along with great writing, the episodes always throw in some entertaining fight scenes, which are sure to dazzle the kids who watch the show [...]      |
