The Oscars 2015 took place last night and Hollywood patted itself on the back for making movies. I didn’t watch the broadcast but I read that there were some genuinely moving moments, like the performance of “Glory” from Selma, a movie that wasn’t even nominated for Best Director.

It’s Labor Day weekend and the summer is coming to a close. It was a pretty good summer at the theaters, capped by the amazing Guardians of the Galaxy. There aren’t as many nerdy movies coming out this fall, but there are still some heavy hitters including Tolkien, Katniss and Marvel. Here’s a look at

A few weeks ago I wrote that some critics and fans had been disappointed by The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. I am more than happy to say that I wasn’t disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed Peter Jackson’s return to Middle-Earth. I’ve heard that people were mostly disappointed in the first third of the movie.

Some scenes of Star Trek Into Darkness have been shot in Imax and the preview will be shown in 3D Imax theaters. The date coincides with the release of The Hobbit, which means new Star Trek footage
I can’t believe there are only two months left in 2012. It’s been a great year for nerdy movies, highlighted by The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises.
