Watch as Vue Cinemas prank customers with Kingsman upgrades
Geek Native’s review of Kingsman is already live. How did that happen given the film isn’t out yet? Are we pals with the movie company? Nope. This reviewer got access to a special screening at his local Vue cinema. The queue was long, very long, but perhaps it was better waiting in line for an […]

Superhero Week: A look at The Fall of Ming
The Fall of Ming is part, the last part, of the Complete Flash Gordon Library. Put together from Alex Raymond’s material and published by Titan this is a fantastic coffee table book and still a wonderful read. It’s a large book. That’s one of the reasons I use the phrase “coffee table” to describe it. […]
