City of the Living Dead has a maggot storm, gut-puking, a priest suicide, an underground chapel, dry rotting zombies, head drill death, and plenty of creepy atmosphere. All of which makes up for the torturous, and hysterically awful child dubbing in House by the Cemetery and The Beyond's death-by-fake-spider sequence,

Also: sleepwalking, wheelchairs, mutant child.

Torso is incredible. The last twenty minutes are just unrelenting. To get to it though, you have to endure all sorts of confusion and red herrings, but it's completely worth it.

I think fairy tale characters are the new zombies. Then in ten years zombie fairy tale characters will be the new thing.

Does Hasbro own the rights to the Pick Up Sticks movie or is that a different toy/film production company?

Didn't last when Telemundo remade it back in '99 either.

Seeing as how Lady Gaga's work at this point is 80% image to 20% mediocre music, protecting the sanctity of her image is critical for her brand value.

One week a character was "good", the next week said character was "evil" and the next week said character was "good" again. This was happening to almost all of the

So I guess we know who Whitney is sleeping with at corporate.

Playboy Club was less sexually provocative than a typical episode of Mad Men. Also it was surprisingly dull.

There are two unfortunate element of the Jazz doc. One is that it's as if Burns seemed to think that the Marsalis brothers' opinions were facts, so he just let them ride roughshod throughout the entire documentary, inserting their opinions every five minutes. Nobody likes a bore.

Used to call it the Hitler-y Channel, though there's less Nazis on it now.

Boregasm.

Any episode of Mad Men is far more sexually provocative than this snooze-fest.

Specifically a Lifetime movie.

Remember the supernatural police procedural The Dresden Files from SyFy from years back? Anybody? Yep, exactly. That's what people will be saying a few years from now about all of these new supernatural police procedurals.
