It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Max World
Let me start out this review by saying one simple phrase: George Miller, Happy Feet Two is totally forgiven and then some. His directorial followup to that 2011 feature (and in fact only his third film he's directed in the 21st century) returns him to the franchise that made him a household name. Sometimes, returning to old cinematic stomping grounds reaps lackluster results (namely in regards to the ambitious but underwhelming fourth season of Arrested Development), but Millers doesn't stumble telling another Mad Max tale, instead soaring with one of the best action films in ages.
Welcome to Land of The Nerds, where I, Lisa Laman, use my love of cinema to explore, review and talk about every genre of film imaginable!

Anita Sarkeesian Interviewed By Stephen Colbert Helps Highlight Hostile Seixm In Gaming
If there's one thing I love as much as Stephen Colberts witty humor, it's women rights. Frankly, it boggles my mind that in the year 2014 society still has so many egregious examples of sexism against females, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the world of video gaming. Back in August, Anita Sarkeesian made a video pointing out extremely sexist roles for women in video games, which was met with the kind of calm response you could expect from the interwebs; rape, bomb and death threats greeted her.
