Ghost Hunters….are they full of it?

Last updated on: July 25, 2013 at 4:26 pm   By Jonathan Ryan

I’m flying out to San Francisco on Thursday to attend The Conjuring press junket and interview everyone related to the film. My editor here at Patheos gave me this assignment for two reasons. First, she wants to do video interviews on the  movie channel. Second, she knows I have an interest in the paranormal due to my novel, 3 Gates of the Dead, coming out this fall on October 15th. Before I go on, I should make a few disclaimers.... Read more

C.S. Lewis on Superman and being “Christ-ey”

Last updated on: June 21, 2013 at 10:35 pm   By Jonathan Ryan

I will only quote Lewis towards the end, so bear with me. As I read through the negative reviews on Man of Steel from the “Christian Art Realm”, I’m left scratching my head. I wonder two things; one, have any of these folks ever read a Superman comic book and two, what’s with barely disguised hatred of super hero movies? Allow me to explain my questions. Arty Christian reviewers are  bashing the obvious Christ analogies in the movie. In doing... Read more

Can Mushrooms Speak?

Last updated on: June 21, 2013 at 7:03 pm   By Jonathan Ryan

Humans spend hours observing the natural world to find inspiration.  We look to the other kingdoms out there in order to make our human world a better place.  As I read more and more about network surveillance, such as you see in PRISM and with the NSA, it surprises me that some super-genius hasn’t studied the effective communication of mushrooms. Yes, that’s right, mushrooms. Mushrooms have a complex communication system.  Let’s say that you have a mycelium in your yard,... Read more

Movie Reviews on Geek Goes Rogue

Last updated on: June 21, 2013 at 7:04 pm   By Jonathan Ryan

Now that we will be doing movie reviews on Geek Goes Rogue, I want to tell you our movie review policy. First, I’m not going to make any claims to be an “objective reviewer”. I make no pretense on being a movie snob, art critic or any other label my colleagues might seem to embrace. You’ll get my honest opinion. I won’t hold back. But I’m not going to pretend to be one of those people who view critiquing movies... Read more

No One is Good….some musing on This is the End

Last updated on: June 21, 2013 at 7:04 pm   By Jonathan Ryan

(Spoiler Alert!) For Father’s Day, I received a night out for a movie marathon at a local indie theater, Studio 35. Yes, I went to the movies by myself, but that’s a post for another day. The movie theater is an old theater redone with flair. They show first run popular movies, art films and cool community “event” night films. This could include old time films for the kids to the ever eternal Rocky Horror Picture Show. My favorite event... Read more

Help me with some questions….

Last updated on: June 21, 2013 at 7:04 pm   By Jonathan Ryan

So, at this little press junket thingy, I get to interview the cast of The Conjuring along with director James Wan (Saw, Insidious) on video. As I’m thinking of questions to ask, I thought I would open it up to all of you, especially for your Saw-horror types that swear its one of the best horror films ever made. List your questions in the comment section and I’ll pick the best ones. Here is who I’ll be talking to: Patrick... Read more

“Supes” and the beauty of spectacle

Last updated on: August 18, 2013 at 7:42 pm   By Jonathan Ryan

The years of 1977 and 1978 changed my life. The two greatest movies of my childhood came out; Star Wars and Superman. These spectacles made me want to tell stories for a living. There are more than enough Gen X’er nostalgic pieces about Star Wars. However, I’ve seen very few about Superman. While this meant seem unusual, we forget superhero movies used to be off limits in Hollywood (some people still wish they were). For example, Stan Lee almost went... Read more
