Noria Morales — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 12:31:20 PDT

Don't try to tell us you've never dreamed of being a pirate and/or finding that big trunk of treasure, á la best-movie-ever The Goonies or Pirates of the Caribbean. In the spirit of those messy, dazzling heaps of jewels, we found 10 necklaces that conjure dreams of pirates' booty and fantastic-sized jewels. And yes, you're a grown-up now, but try these necklaces with a minimal cocktail dress and at the very least you'll inspire that other childhood fantasy of being a princess.

Adorn Your Walls With Your Favorite Geeky Movie Quotes

I have a thing for movies, and definitely have my faves - The Goonies and Star Wars being a couple (naturally). So if you are as big of a fan as I, then you'll love these movie quote posters from 37 Posters I came across yesterday.

Coming with a symbol from the movie (a skull for The Goonies, the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, and Homer Simpson from The Simpsons - you get the idea) and filled with famous quotes from the film (or show), these geeky posters ($25-$30) would look awesome hanging in a living room, or even a home theater if you've got the spare coin.

Would You Rather: Star Wars, The Goonies, or Back to the Future?

GeekSugar — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 05:47:00 PDT

The Blu-Ray section in your home entertainment center is about to get crowded - not only can we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Back to the Future ($50) and The Goonies ($35) with a Blu-Ray re-release this year (October and November respectively), but George Lucas announced over the weekend at the Celebration V Star Wars Convention that he would be releasing the entire six episode collection of Star Wars on Blu-Ray in 2011.

I don't have to tell you how stoked I am at all three of these developments, and there's no way I could choose just one to buy. But let's say you could only pick one to purchase - would you rather buy the Star Wars collection, The Goonies, or the Back to the Future trilogy on Blu-ray?

Film Forum: Did You Think Super 8 Was Super Great?

Becky Kirsch — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 05:30:00 PDT

We weren't shy about making it clear that while we liked J.J. Abrams's Super 8, the much-anticipated monster movie didn't totally meet our expectations. That said, the movie still earned enough critical acclaim to bring in big numbers at the box office, and we're curious to hear what you thought. Did the big viral marketing campaign overhype the movie, or does it deserve to join the ranks of classics like The Goonies and Stand by Me?

If you didn't catch Super 8, we still want to hear about any movie you saw this weekend. Were you able to check out Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris now that it's in wide release? Or see Kung Fu Panda 2? Leave your mini reviews in the comments!

5 Reasons to Love Breaking In

Kristy Korcz — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 03:15:03 PDT

Day three of WonderCon had me sitting down with the cast of Breaking In, the upcoming comedy from Fox premiering April 6 at 9:30 p.m. Airing after American Idol, the show is bound to do pretty well for itself, but I think it's the funny characters, hilarious situations, and total geek cred that will make the show a hit. Christian Slater (who needs no introduction), Odelle Annable (Cloverfield), Bret Harrison (V), and Alphonso McAuley (Pride) star, and after talking with them about working together, office comedies, and tech toys, I found five reasons geeks should tune in. Check it out below.

The writers - The writers of Breaking In are totally legit in their geek cred. Adam F. Goldberg wrote Fanboys and Revenge of the Nerds among others, while Seth Gordon directed such nerdy films as The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, and lent his geeky touch to episodes of The Office and Modern Family. So you know all those geek culture references you find riddled inside the Breaking In trailer are coming from the right place.
Geek culture nuggets - Breaking In is about a high-tech security firm that uses all kinds of technology - from computer software to gadgets - to make clients more secure. Of course, they "test" a client's current security systems by hacking in first, which sets the stage for lots of gadget and tech references. But more than that, there's even an episode where the team has to deliver a copy of (fictional) "Goonies 2: The Legend of Sloth" to a ComicCon like event. Costumes are donned, hilarity ensues, it's sure to entertain.

See the rest of the list after the jump.
