Even Baddies Need A Drink!

Posted by sarawestrop on February 7, 2013

dark-lord

Even if that drink is a very fancy cocktail complete with tiny umbrella. We would not have pegged Sauron for that! Joining him are Darth Vader and a very camp looking Voldemort are chilling out together after a hard days murder and mayhem. It’s thirsty work trying to crush opposing forces, with really rubbish henchmen.

Posted by montoc1701 on September 4, 2012

 

So for all you Star Wars fans this looks like a really cool idea. I have seen the Jedi bathrobe’s lots of times but never a Stormtrooper one. This looks very cool and actually looks very comfy so what are you waiting for. Go get one now and do not let anyone say you are too short to be a Stormtrooper.

Review

I haven’t read the previous 4 issues of this story so I was coming in not knowing much of the set up, Thankful the comic contains a one page catch up that brought me right up to speed. They story is set between Episode III and Episode IV and sees Vader and his troops of the 501st dispatched to a planet to rescue Moff Tarkin’s son, once there they are betrayed by the man they came to save.    Read the rest of this entry »

Film Review: Arthur (2011)

Posted by montoc1701 on April 18, 2011

Greetings all Montoya here.

I know what you are thinking. Arthur is not the type of film that Geek Syndicate would cover but I say nay non believers, for this film does include the Batmobile, Darth Vader and the Deloren from Back to the Future (not to mention the Mystery Machine and the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard). So I think it can just squeeze in. What I am not going to do is refer in anyway to the original movie as this is it’s own beast. The movie is out on Friday.

Arthur, Russell Brand, is the near Billionaire who spends his days drinking, spending his money and having lots of fun. He is looked after by his nanny played by a amusing Helen Mirren on fine form. Arthur is told to marry Susan, Jenifer Garner, or lose his money. It then becomes complicated when Arthur meets Naomi an aspiring writer. Read the rest of this entry »
