Click for Cute (05/20/14)

Okay, this is both cute and a bit weird. Behold, the Flapjack Octopus! This particular Flapjack is part of the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s new Tentacles exhibit, all about octopuses.

Hey everyone. I promised you some personal nerdery here on the ICRT blog, so here you go! This is a brief look at a model I painted for my Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines army.

The Trailer for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar is Here!

The Trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar is Here!

The trailer for Interstellar – Christopher Nolan’s first film in two years – hit the web last night. We were granted a teaser trailer five months ago that didn’t show us very much besides some historical footage, and unfortunately the full and proper trailer doesn’t give us a whole lot of insight into the film either. It’s...Continue reading

Preview: Edge of Tomorrow

Preview: Edge of Tomorrow

Here’s the latest trailer to Tom Cruise’s upcoming sci-fi action film, Edge of Tomorrow. Unlike The Grand Budapest Hotel, this is the kind of movie I usually go for. I’m a science-fiction/fantasy novel buff, so the kind of action we’re getting in this trailer is right up my alley. Edge of Tomorrow is based on...Continue reading

A Transcendence from Pop-culture

Hello our beloved blog-followers (or, I believe at this point, just our beloved co-workers)! I’m thoroughly excited to embark on my virgin blog-voyage with a Joey’s review on one recently released sci-fi thriller that has received my personal grade-A stamp, a movie called Transcendence. I hope you will enjoy the next few minutes and, despite its...Continue reading
Review: The Grand Budapest Hotel

Review: The Grand Budapest Hotel

It’s not every day that I’m tempted into seeing a movie just from a trailer. It’s even rarer when it’s for a movie that doesn’t fall into my normal viewing patterns. So when The Grand Budapest Hotel caught my eye, I was vaguely surprised at my own interest in the film. From the preview, it...Continue reading

However, today he’s known worldwide and perhaps as one of the best painters. Vincent Van Gogh happens to be one of my favorite artists and...Continue reading
