With all these Republican Party talk and Democratic Party talk, it's made me realize politicians (which are all "Washington Insiders") don't really get me, or what I want. It's why I'm proposing a "Nerd Party," and if you want, I'll lead it. Whitehouse in 2014!!!Just in case the name didn't immediately make you change your voting card status, let me lay out the ideas and principles of the Nerd

Before I get going, let me stretch here.... there we go. Still with me? Yep, still no one. Alright, so I haven't done this whole movie writing thing in a long time. I'm not sure if I still know how to do it. I've written a lot about my new wife and my journey to amazing happiness, I figured I would look back on how I started writing, throw it over my shoulder and continue on. So, with that being

October 15, 2011. A day that will live in infamy. The day some dorky little movie nerd found his soul mate and married the love of his life. So, it's a bit dramatic, but hey, I'm a writer! I can't just write "I got hitched, yee haw," they'd take away my license or something. For the past 8 months, I've referred to my significant other on this blog as "my future wife," "fiancee," or "my love," but

Today is the one year anniversary of the love of my life and I becoming an official couple. It's also the day we plan on becoming officially husband and wife. So, as you can imagine, it's a pretty big day. It started with the rehearsal dinner last night. My future wife was terrified, as we went through the motions, as everyone else around us seemed happy and care-free, we were nervous as could be

Or Cuban Hangover. With two weeks left before the big day, it was time for my future brides bachelorette party. Her maid of honor had sent out the invites and planned something big; something drunk; and something very debauchery-ey. Fortunately, she was smart enough to also plan on a hotel. So, here I am, having a weekend to myself as my future wife goes and parties hard on the streets of Ybor.

Welcome to Kevin’s Korner, your first stop for all that is geeky in movies and TV. It’s been a crazy week this week for movies, with Netflix losing their minds, more leaks and some crazy remake news popping out. Also, I’m in the bay area of Florida, so, sports is a tough subject for me this week. On top of that, the countdown is down to four days until I tie the knot, so it’s getting all kinds of

Welcome to Kevin’s Korner! I’m coming off of a surprisingly cool weekend, which in Florida means anything below 90 degrees. There was tons of good football over the weekend, which was awesome, and I have a bachelor party in less than a week. Party on!I just finished re-watching the Doctor Who season finale. I really enjoyed it. While it was somewhat of a letdown, now knowing how the Doctor cheats

With barely two weeks remaining until the big day arrives, there is tons of talk about what we will be doing that day before doing the walking and the vowing and the drinking. One of the things brought up was that I wasn't allowed to see my future wife that day until the wedding march played, and she walked, all dramatic-like towards me, with her wedding dress on. I found it odd that I was

Welcome to Kevin's Korner! This week, we have some goodies, so buckle your seatbelts... ok, I guess that doesn't really make sense, given you don't have seatbelts in the office chairs you're sitting in. Anywho, there are some cool things that happened this week, and I'm going to break them all down for you. I'm in the news business, and business is a boomin...Doesn't that blow your mind?! - Over

With a little over a month before the big wedding, we had finally decided to make that huge step in our relationship. You know the one I’m talking about, right? No, not that one! Geez… they don’t allow monkeys in city limits anyway, you sicko. No, I’m talking about having her parents and my parents meet. It’s a big, dangerous, crazy, wacky step, but it must be done. With the wedding looming,

We’re down to 23 days until the biggest day of my life hits me. To say I’m excited would be like saying the Niagara Falls is a little wet, or Shaquile O’Neal is kinda tall. I’m excited for all sorts of reasons, but mostly because it’s the day I get to profess my love for my beautiful fiancée in front of everyone. Interestingly, that point is also the reason why I’m nervous, but that’s normal. I’m

Welcome to another week in Kevin’s Korner. I’m starting to get a feel for this whole news thing, finally. I’m hitting my stride, and I like it! There is tons of news this week, with so many good things going on. I’m still a little hungover from the weekend. I stayed up way too late watching the Emmy’s, and playing with my new Ipad 2, and I am finding it way too hard getting going.I finally saw

Welcome to Kevin’s Korner, your one stop for all that is geeky. I am your host, Kevin Hopp. It’s been a busy few weeks as I get ready for the wedding. We have gotten a lot done, and I spent the weekend with the future in-laws, which was awesome. When everyone is warm and welcoming, it makes everything way easier. My future bride also had her bridal shower, which means we got all kinds of gifts

Welcome to Kevin's Korner! Everything geeky, all the time. As we finish the holiday weekend, we nurse hangovers and bruises and we look forward to the fall season. Before the fall season, there is plenty to talk about. There are Oscar rumors, there is some serious talk about Star Wars, and there are plenty of Avengers rumors. It sure does seem 2012 will be an amazing year for movies, between the

Welcome to another Kevin’s Korner; your one stop for all that is geeky and good (mainly geeky). It’s been a crazy busy week, with weird and bizarre news, price hikes and teaser trailers (oh my).

With three months, nearly to the day, this whole wedding thing is really happening. Flowers are being grown, beer and wine are being brewed, food is being planned, and tables are being cleaned. The event I’ve been thinking about since I met my future fiancée is right around the corner now, and that realization picks odd times to hit me.It hit me last night, when we picked up my wedding band.

Every guy has heard this myth; this story; this terrifying of tale, usually around a campfire, with whispers and a shaky voice, the idea that one event can turn a calm, wonderful woman into a snarling, growling, horrible beast known as "Bridezilla." The myth is said to be true, and like a werewolf, things just change and the world will never be the same. I've heard this story, like so many others

All week, I have been talking about whether the fourth Pirates movie would be any good. I was thinking it would hopefully be the Return of the Jedi of the great Pirates of the Caribbean movies; others told me it would be one of the god awful prequels, ya know, the one with Jar Jar? Finally, when the 3D glasses went on and the lights came down, I instantly realized we were all wrong.The fourth

As Marvel gets closer and closer to the Avengers, we see these different characters in different worlds come together, and each piece we get makes me think, like the characters themselves, that this Avengers thing could be something truly special. Marvel steps closer with Thor, and tackles the problem of how you bring the god of thunder into the real world of Iron Man and the Hulk and Captain

You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about? No, not The Matrix, I'm talking about Kevin's Korner! Your only stop for all the movie and TV news that happened this week. It's been a crazy week, filled with wacky news and annoucements, and I promise none of it has to do

DisneyPenelope Cruz's character AngelicaActress Penelope Cruz sat down the other day to talk about her upcoming role in the fourth Pirates of the Carribean movie, On Stranger Tides. There were so many things I found interesting, and I felt really old that it was 10 years since Blow. It sounds like she will be a female Captain Jack Sparrow, and that chemistry should be pretty amazing. Check out

Welcome to another edition of Kevin’s Korner. All your news that you never knew you could care about. This week, we have some great news bits from movies and television, along with some new DVD releases and the always exciting trailer of the week. So, come on in, the water’s fine. Let's start off with the Box Office Breakdown... Family movies continue to dominate with Rio taking the top spot with

Russell Brand seems to be the king of the box office this weekend with Hop retaining the tops spot and Arthur taking in number 2 in it's first week with $12.6 million. Your Highness, starring Natalie Portman, James Franco and Danny McBride came in a dismal sixth place with $9.5 million, with a budget of $50 million. So, what did you see this weekend?BOX OFFICE TOP TEN1. Hop - $21.7 million ($68.2

Yeah, I couldn't think of any good movie references for the title. Bust, rest assured, I'm not calling my fiance pond scum. The meaning will be clear, hopefully, and it'll be like when you hear the title of the movie in the movie, and you just yell out "ohhh, that's why they call it that." First off, our wedding plans are going great. My future wife is stressing as the moment is drawing closer.

The late John Hughes was an exceptional writer. He was known for being able to capture and write teen angst better than anyone. Movies like 16 Candles and Pretty and Pink and the all time classic, Ferris Bueller's Day off were easily identifyable to nearly anyone. This movie takes those movies and brings them into the present, fully aware of the shoulders it stands on. This movie is an incredibly

Hop is the little live action movie that takes a raunchy British comedienne, in Russell Brand and uses him to portray the Easter Bunny in a family movie. The oddness gets better when they add James Marsden as a slacker and Caley Cuoco as his sister. All of this is wrapped up into an easter egg and sold to families. And, obviously, according to the box office, the families bought it. But, is it

Sadly, this is no April Fools joke. Warner Bros. plans on rebooting Batman, Superman and the Green Lantern in 2013 for a Justice League movie. If you're like me, you are now pounding your head against the desk in frustration. With the third, and allegedly final Christian Bale/Christopher Nolan Batman coming out next year, WB is not waiting for the dust to settle. They are planning on rebooting

Or, why didn't I start with Part IV. So, I just realized I hadn't covered how the love of my life and I had met. It occurred to me, out of the blue, when someone asked how we met. Ok, that's not quite out of the blue, more like out of the aqua marine, or out of the turquoise. The tale of my bride to be and I meeting goes way back.Queue the wavy flash-backy lines. It was back in late August, when

I love Doctor Who. For those of you who don't know, Doctor Who is the longest running Sci-Fi show of all time. It is made by the BBC and has a wonderful history. It was rebooted back in 2005, and since, has seen one of my favorite shows on TV. The Doctor has regenerated for a third time, leaving actor Matt Smith at the controls of the TARDIS, and leaving me blown away. So, after all that, we are

Movies like Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead have been heralded as geek masterpieces and have found their way to be pop culture icons in themselves. So, naturally, when a new project of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost hits theaters, it's going to cause some excitement. But, is the latest worthy of comparison to their previous movies? Sure, why not.Paul is a movie about two nerds (Pegg and Frost) straight

Before you say anything, the answer is a resounding "YES!" Of course it's a good idea. What kind of stupid question was that? Who doesn't want to be a Jedi? Well, like some kind of geek heaven that just appeared, /Film is talking about a school down in Chile for Jedi's. You heard it, a Jedi Academy.

There is only one star in Buried, and that's Ryan Reynolds. Not because everyone else is new to acting, it's because there is no one else. There aren't any beautiful backdrops or extras or CGI, there is simply Ryan Reynolds in a box. For an hour and a half. Such a gimmick can't work, and even if it could, Reynolds couldn't hold a film, right? Maybe not. Buried starts off with about a minute and a

The Honeymoon Phase, The First Act, the cute Phase, there are so many different terms for that cute, flirty time in a relationship when you're nervous, and trying to figure a person out. In this phase, the person could tell you they've killed more men than Cecil B. Demill, and it wouldn't matter.

"A Journey of 1,000 miles starts with one step". I think Buddha said that, or maybe Lawrence Fishburne, or maybe I just saw it on a fortune cookie. Either way, it's great advice, especially when you're starting a blog, or a book, or any other writing adventure. But, the first step is a tough one. How do you start off?Some of my blogs can be easy. They just flow, from beginning to end. I could

So, my fiance and I are doing great. We got her stuff moved into our new home, and we got everything cleaned. We even combined closets to make things more "us" as opposed to her and I. Things were going so smoothly. We were even rocking on the wedding planning. She found a dress, and while I haven't seen it, I can only imagine it's Heaven in a dry-cleaning bag. So, the next fun thing we get to do

Paul starring Nick Frost and Simon Pegg and has the voice of Seth Rogen looks histerical. But, up until now, it looked like a cute little family, geek movie. Well, the redband trailer is out, and it seems to be a bit more raunchy than that. And, yet, I can't wait to see this movie even more now! Check it out!More Paul Videos

Did you see the remake of Clash of the Titans starring Liam Neeson, Sam Worthington, Gemma Arterton and Ralph Fiennes? Most people didn't like it. They said it was silly, and stupid, and lacked plot. All of which I agree with. That being said, I kinda liked the movie. There's one thing, however, I really disliked, and that's the terrible 3-D effects. You see, the movie wasn't shot in 3-D, it was

For those of you who don't know, a good friend of mine, Rev. Johnny Bartha passed away on Saturday. When I lose someone in my life, I find it better to be a calm, level head and simply write something to express my grief. It's how I deal, so you get to read it. So, Rev. Bartha was more than a friend, he was a truly great pastor. I had only visited a few of his sermons, but as a man who doesn't

The first Super Bowl trailer for Thor looked ok at best. I wasn't super impressed, since it didn't tell me much of anything. So, he's the thunder god, and Natalie Portman is in this, fantastic. The new trailer, however, tells me so much more. It adds a bit of comedy, and shows some great special effects and some serious action. This makes me really excited for the movie. What do you think?

The Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston comedy Just Go for It took the top spot, proving Sandler still has a box office draw, but the big story is Bieber mania proving a 14 year old girl really does have a movie drag. I'm also surprised True Grit is still going strong after 7 weeks in the box office. The Eagle, starring Channing Tatum did what I expected it to do, crap. And Gnomeo and Juliet did

So, the wedding drama had been conquered, and we were back on the easy-track to marriage. Things were going great as each decision was being decided one after another. I felt like either we were pros or we had stayed at a Holiday Inn last night. Either way, the drama was gone, we were in love, and things were good. But I wanted my future wife to move in with me. Ya know, get things started now.

So, things were going well. My future wife had selected her bridesmaids and her maid of honor. I had selected my best men, and told them they would be armed for the ceremony, ya know, just in case there were any debates. Things were going along well, we had made peace with the fact it would be our wedding, and that we were going to have a good time, that is, until we brought up colors. If there

This looks rather promising, actually. I was a huge fan of the comic books, but thought the movies were mediocre at best. Too much Wolverine and not enough of everything else. It just didn't sit well with me. This, however, has a hint of something more, if done right. What do you guys think?

So, she said 'yes!' We rode Space Mountain, and relished in the fact we were more than just girlfriend and boyfriend. Our friends, who were so supportive, hugged us, and cried with us, and shared a moment that, at that point, would be the best of my life. It wouldn't hit us on the Rock and Roll Rollercoaster, or Tower of Terror, or Margaritaville later that evening. It didn't hit us the next day,

Three weeks ago, something magical happened. I was on one knee, and she said 'yes.' What happened after was celebration, debate on the proper date, colors, and looking up "centerpiece" on wikipedia. So, apparently, you can't just give a girl a ring and the rest is history. Who knew? I met the woman of my dreams about 4 months ago.

Did anyone else see this? I know it may not be quite as talked about, but this show looks amazing. I know it may sound like Land of the Lost, but this looks to be quite a bit more serious than that. I'm excited, how about you?

This just got way more interesting. I thought it was cool how big a transformation Chris Evans goes through. And did you see Hugo Weaving's Red Scull? Amazing! I'm now really looking forward to this.

Here is the latest Transformers trailer for your viewing pleasure. You will notice a distinct difference between this and the last few trailers in that... ... ... well, there's robots.... .... wait, uhh, ohh, there's Shiah, no, that's not it. Ooh, a new girl! There's something new!Ok, so even though it looks like more of the same, I admit, I'm still going to theaters to see it.

J.J. Abrams is my favorite person in Hollywood right now. Everything the guy touches is pure gold. He started Lost, Alias, Mission Impossible 3, Cloverfield, and the 2009 reboot of Star Trek. His latest movie has flown pretty far under the radar, until now. The trailer leaves me intrigued, but also a bit confused. It looks very much like Close Encounters in it's presentation, but it could be

Sometimes, I enjoy fan-made movies more than normal ones. I can't help it because everything is filled with blind enthusiasm, which makes it hard not to appreciate. Sure the acting isn't always the best, but seeing the intentions on something made with very little money is encouraging. This little bit of awesome was found on /Film. It is based of the game series Fallout, which I love. The

A remake of the Charles Bronson film, The Mechanic stars Jason Statham, Ben Foster and Donald Sutherland in a movie that has plenty of action, some gore and plenty of a stern-faced Jason Statham.

Here is the list of nominees. It's extremely exciting. I've seen quite a few, so I guess the debate over the winners begins here! I don't see too many surprises, and most seem clear-cut to me.

The Rite, starring Anthony Hopkins comes off as an Exorcist knockoff in the trailer, with creepy images, and scary makeup and Hopkins doing his best demonic look, which incidentally, is quite good, but in the end, is it enough to make this movie worthwhile? In a word, no. The Rite is a movie about a young priest, Michael Kovak, (played by Colin O'Donoghue) with father issues who leaves the

The Razzie awards. An award given to the worst movie in category for actors, cast, writing and worst movie. It's not something anyone wants to receive, but it's given out anyway, and often with more anticipation than the Oscars. Because, let's face it, we love making fun of box office bombs.

A bit of a week showing for movies this weekend, with No Strings Attached bringing in $20 million to take first place away from Green Hornet, which took in $18 million in its second week.

After years of having to put up with rumors like Eddie Murphy as the Riddler, or Jim Carrey as The Joker, or Angelina Jolie as Catwoman, the stupid rumors have finally come to an end. /Film is reporting that Anne Hathaway has been cast as Selena Kyle (alter ego Catwoman) and Tom Hardy is cast as Bane. It's interesting to say the least.Now, let's start with Hathaway as Selena Kyle. First off, let

Sometimes a trailer can tell you completely about the movie. It's a fine line between too much and not enough, but when a trailer gets the formula just right, it's amazing. Now, take that, and add in an amazingly bizarre, yet brilliant concept, and you have Rubber. It looks to be a story of how a tire becomes alive...and has psychic powers or something. I am stupidly excited about this trailer,

The Green Hornet, which you can see the review of below had a pretty good weekend, setting the highest opening weekend for a Seth Rogen live-action movie. The film had a budget of $125 million, so, I don't see the film having an issue reaching that at some point. The Dilemma came in second with $17 million, on a budget of $70 million showing that Vince Vaughn needs to step up his game, while True

The Alien Prequel we've all heard so much about is now gone. /Film is reporting that although the Alien movie is gone, something has resulted from the storyline. Something better. It's called Prometheus, and the script is being adjusted by famed script writer Damon Lindelof. I, like the /Film article, like the idea. With all the prequels and sequels and reboots and reimaginings out there, it's

The Golden Globes don't hold much weight, and most consider them a dress rehearsal for the Oscars, but I actually like the Globes better. While the grandness isn't as big, it's generally less stuffy and more entertaining. And with Ricky Gervais hosting, it should make things entertainingly uncomfortable. So, without further delay, here's my picks for the winners. Do you agree with my picks?Best

I am a sucker for a superhero movie. You know, a guy who overcomes trauma to risk life and limb to save the world? Well, Green Hornet is not that movie, but you probably figured that out when you saw it stars Seth Rogen. So, can a movie based on an old radio show; directed by the guy that did Be Kind, Rewind; and a 3-D January release be any good? Well, let's just say it's different.The movie is

I guess I'm feeling argumentative today, but I saw an interview where James Cameron, director of movies like Titanic, and Avatar, the two highest grossing movies of all time said movies like the upcoming Battleship, based of the popular board game are degrading cinema. And, while he has more than earned the right to speak his mind, I disagree. Partly.Firstly, the idea of a movie based of the

There has been tons of talk about the reboot of Spiderman, starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, being directed by Marc Webb. Finally, we get a glimpse at the wall crawler himself. The suit looks less cartoon-ey than the last one, doesn't it? Maybe a little more worn than the previous Tobey Maguire suit?What do you think?

So, I read a really, really well written article over at Film.com that was in response to a comment made that said as a whole, geek culture is dyeing. The time where those socially inept, Star Wars quoting movie geeks are coming to an end, saying that because of the internet, and IMDB, the people that knew everything there was to know no longer stand out, and as a culture, it's dyeing.

I just made up the title, but the "Tron 3" part is happening. What, no dropped chins? No gasping for air at the shock? No, me either. A follow up to a remotely successful franchise is as normal as breathing in Hollywood, and Tron: Legacy looks to be on par to atleast break even. But is Tron 3: De-Rez a good idea?

Everyone's a critic. That's how the saying goes, anyway. But, is everyone really a movie critic? Technically they are, but not neccesarily a good one. Being a professional movie critic is hard. It's something I've wanted to be for as long as I can remember, but it's not as easy as you would think. There's challenges from the writing aspect, the way it's constructed and your opinion of the movie

I didn't think I would enjoy Country Strong when I saw the trailer. While it looked like it would have some good performances, I am not a country music fan, and I usually don't like music dramas; I think the movie is all about the performance, and not enough about the story. I like Gwyneth Paltrow, and I heard she actually sang in the movie, but I didn't think it would be enough. So, when I tell

I love the Daily Show. I'm a huge fan of the brilliance that is Jon Stewart and his writing team. There, I said it. I'm not ashamed either. Apparently, more people look to him for the news than anywhere else, and why not? He's the only one that comes out and says exactly what he's doing; being funny. So, when he said Obama was like Luke Skywalker, he really had my attention. He makes a good point

Tron was one of those movie that was revolutionary in the '80s. Everything having to do with computers was so new, and different, and a movie about a guy getting sucked into a computer blew everyone away. The movie is still an icon in geek pop culture, and now, Disney has come out with a sequel, starring two actors who weren't even born when the first one hit theaters. Can it be any good? The

Kevin Smith is one of those odd directors. He's responsible for some amazing movies like Clerks and MallRats and Dogma and my personal favorite, Clerks 2. One of the reasons he's so well known and loved is because he, like so many New Jersey people, has no filter between his mouth and his brain, so you never have to worry if you're getting the whole truth from him or not.

So, I stumbled upon a blog today from a blog that describes itself as "Film news and opinions from a Film Snob." The title of the article was "A difficult Conversation, or Why going to the movies kind of sucks."

Little Fockers took in a medium haul for Christmas weekend at $34 million, giving it the top spot. I wasn't a fan of the film, as you can read in my review, but there was no doubt it would take the top spot. True Grit, which came in second, gave the Coen Brothers their highest opening weekend ever, and the film comes close to covering it's $38 million budget. Tron Legacy was a bit disappointing

Christmas for me is not neccesarily about religeon. For me, it's a time to spend a great evening with friends, family and loved ones. It's also the one time of the year it's encouraged to be nice to people, and it's a great time to watch Christmas movies. That being said, I wish everyone a very merry Christmas. I hope you can spend time with your loved ones and share some happiness with someone.

I admit it, I'm a bit obsessed with anything Firefly. I can't help it. It's my favorite show of all time, and it was canceled way before they could do things other shows did; ya know, have crappy episodes. So, when this video came up with a mix of Fox's Fringe and Firefly, I couldn't help but be excited. They did this because Fringe got moved to Friday's at 8 pm, which Firefly shared for a brief

There are some serious rumors today about what Harrison Ford has said is in store for the next Indiana Jones flick. Yes, there are rumors of another Indiana Jones, but the surprise is that Ford allegedly wants to kill of Indy. I know!Apparently, George Lucas doesn't particularly like the idea, but Steven Spielberg kinda does. It puts things into a pickle a bit, but the last film strongly hinted

It's no surprise Tron: Legacy took the top spot. The Disney sequel had high expectations, and with less than stellar reviews, it could be tough to recoup the $170 million budget. The big surprise comes for the number 2 spot; Yogi Bear. While family movies always do well, this just had "crap" written all over it, and even though executives were hoping for better, in an attempt to make back the $80
