Walking Dead Ep19 “Beside The Dying Fire”

Posted on March 19, 2012 by

So week in and week out I vent my nerdy complaints about how the beloved “Walking Dead” TV show lacks mightily Kirkman’s comic passion.  Plot hole this and mistreatment that, feel my wrath!  Dale’s failed character, the weak Shane kill, a … Continue reading →

Walking Dead Ep18 “Better Angels”

Posted on March 15, 2012 by

Dale is dead, Randall is dead, Shane is dead…and we haven’t even hit the finale yet?  Interesting.  Surely I thought “Walking Dead” would save the biggest drama (Rick vs. Shane) for last, but maybe they still did?  Thankfully, no one … Continue reading →

Walking Dead Ep 17 “Judge, Jury, and Executioner”

Posted on March 6, 2012 by

So last week I commented how replaceable any character besides Shane and Rick are steadily becoming, and this week “Walking Dead” decided to brashly test my hypothesis.  Yes, this week brought a “high-profile” death, sick realizations, but retreated back to … Continue reading →

Posted on February 28, 2012 by

Did I see shades of Tarantino peaking through “The Walking Dead” this week, using his iconic outward trunk-view shot?  Interesting little nod there.  Well, not to get overly excited based on past tendencies, but we’ve had three solid episodes in … Continue reading →

Well, well, well. Look who finally reached down and remembered they had a pair.  Only two episodes into the second half of season 2 and we’ve already had more excitement than all seven episodes of the first half, which could … Continue reading →

First Impressions: ABC’s The River

Posted on February 17, 2012 by

I won’t hide my fanboy love for Oren Peli’s horror juggernaut Paranormal Activity, so keep that in mind while indulging in my ponderings on Peli’s silver screen debut.  ”The River” is undoubtably a different creature from Paranormal, only because there … Continue reading →

Walking Dead Ep14: “Nebraska”

Posted on February 14, 2012 by

Oh apocalyptic zombie infested America, how I missed you. Busy with life, I feel like Sophia’s death is still fresh in my mind, ready to jump back into “The Walking Dead” for six more episodes, only to be tormented again … Continue reading →

Walking Dead Ep13: “Pretty Much Dead Already”

Posted on November 30, 2011 by

Well, I can’t say I was surprised with the mid-season ender.  Much like a walker from the show, the first 50 minutes or so limp sluggishly along with a clear goal in sight, and then the final 5 minutes strike … Continue reading →
