I Waited So Very Long – The Walking Dead Season 2 Now On Netflix
Road trip!
I never seem to have time to watch tv shows theses days. It’s usually because I’m working my day night job and or running odd errands in between. When I do find time, I’ll try to find a service that will stream it for me without having to purchase every episode. The Walking Dead Season 2, which has been for sale since it was practically airing, is now available for streaming. About damn time.
Dexter Season 7 Episode 1 Recap – “Are You…?”
It’s not what it looks like. I was just giving him a massage…
Now he’s done it. Ol’ Dexter has gone and gotten himself into a real jam.
Dexter Season 7 Episode 1 aired last night on Showtime (if you didn’t see it, you still can). Titled “Are You…” the episode starts strong and never lets up. It looks like the show is back to form in a big way, laying the groundwork for a suspenseful season.

Dexter Season 7 Premieres Tonight
It’s cool. I kill people.
Tonight’s the night. Grab your knives and plastic wrap, kids, because Season 7 of Dexter premieres tonight on Showtime at 9pm ET/PT.
If you caught the Season 6 finale (and if you didn’t, stop reading now because, you know, SPOILERS AHEAD), then you know that the show turned a major corner in the last few seconds of the final episode.
Season 6 of Dexter was pretty lackluster compared to past seasons, but the show redeemed itself with the revelation that…
Why Do We Pay To Watch Scary Movies?
Pay, get scared, thank them for it
Irwin Yablans, creator of the “Halloween” films that forever changed the genre, says the answer’s easy.
If you’ll remember, we posted an article a few weeks ago where Irwin talked about the Halloween franchise changing the genre. Now he talks about why we are willing to cough up our cash to be frightened.
“When done right, a horror movie evokes an involuntary response involving fear, excitement, repulsion and fascination,” says Yablans, (www.irwinyablans.com), author of the new memoir, The Man Who Created Halloween. In it, he details his rise as a successful independent producer, sales chief for Paramount Pictures and head of Orion Pictures. His masked creepster Michael Myers, who debuted in 1978, spawned a wave of iconic horror characters, and a new way to do business in Hollywood.
Looper Review: Time Travel Done Absolutely Right
I was blown away by it, too.
As a kid who grew up on Star Trek, I know first-hand the benefits and pitfalls of a time travel plot. Trek was often light-hearted about its implementation, almost to the point of using it as a silly contrivance, but other forms of the fiction dare to be more adventurous. If investigated too deeply, time travel can truly bury the audience in mind-fuckery. The most drastic point I can think of would be Shane Carruth’s ultra-indie flick Primer, in which the time you spend inside the time machine translates to how far back in time you go. That film explores how one manages paradoxes and the multitude of timelines you create when you make multiple trips, which is havoc for something as elegant as a narrative. While not quite the brain freeze that Primer was, thankfully, Looper engages that kind of deep, exploratory time travel with incredible flare and gobs of delicious violence.
Solomon Kane Review: Conan the Elizabethan?
He’s an asshole here, but you warm up to him
I’m a fan of the pulp writer Robert E. Howard. His Conan the Barbarian short stories are the granddaddy of the sword and sorcery genre, and for all their savagery and simplicity, they remain great reads to this day. With Solomon Kane, Howard traded in the broadsword of the barbarian for a cutlass and the loincloth for the wide brimmed hat of the Puritan. Enter Solomon Kane, director Michael J. Bassett’s adaptation of Howard’s lesser known creation. On the whole, the movie is a fairly enjoyable adaptation of Howard’s work, but the Bassett’s ambition unfortunately exceeds his ability by a wide margin.
The Office Now In Its Final Season, Thank God
This show is still on.
I didn’t start watching the US version of The Office until the fifth season and that was only because I needed something to fill my Hulu queue. I’d been interested in picking up the previous seasons on DVD for ages and the online service finally gave me a (free) reason to get into the series. I hate TV, but I love The Office. Loved The Office, really.
End of Watch Review: Another Day in Hell
Yeah, I’m pretty sure nothing good can come of this…
Is this really the fantastic weekend for movies that I think it is or am I just in an unseasonably good mood? End of Watch from writer/director David Ayer is another fantastic movie that was somehow released in the traditional cinematic dumping ground of September. Yesterday, I gave a high rating to Dredd for being an exhilarating throwback to the great action movies of the ‘80s; today, I’m giving a positive review to End of Watch for being almost the complete opposite of Dredd. If Dredd excelled at presenting pure fantasy to movie goers, End of Watch excels at pulling movie goers into a gritty, realistic world.
Dredd 3D Review: Judgment Has Never Been So Awesome
You’re goddamn right that judgment is coming.
After seeing Dredd, I’m tempted to take back every negative thing I’ve said about the month of September. Yeah, I’ve spent the last few weeks subjecting myself to terrible movies, but then along comes this little gem, a gem that gives me the same giddy excitement I felt when I saw the original Robocop as a kid. Dredd is an unpretentious, super-violent, super-fun, blood-and-guts thrill ride. Oh, and it’s also the best comic book movie of the year.
