The Walking Dead: Season 2
For those of you who don’t know, The Walking Dead is a television adaptation of a comic series about a zombie apocalypse. Critics loved season 1 and the number of viewers easily surpassed AMC’s two flagships shows, Mad Men and Breaking Bad. The story revolves around a group of survivors led by former cop Rick Grimes (the guy with the rock) in the suburbs of Atlanta. I’m especially excited for season 2 because I have read most of The Walking Dead comics and they only get better.
The bad news is that season 2 won’t premiere until October 16th; the good news is that the upcoming season will be 13 episodes as opposed to 6! So we can all be entertained while sharpening our axes and machetes in preparation for the actual zombie apocalypse.
Haywire
Wow, this has to be one of the most surprising things I’ve ever seen. A film directed by Steven Soderbergh (Traffic and the Ocean films) with Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, Antontio Banderas, Michael Douglas, and Bill Paxton in supporting roles seems like a recipe for success. BUT, Gina Carano aka Crush from the American Gladiators reboot is the lead. WTF? Carano has been in one movie, Ring Girls. I don’t see how it’s possible for her to be an even decent actress. I just hope she never reads this post, because she could definitely kick my ass.

Final Destination 5
The degree to which the Final Destination and Saw series have endured (and thrived) means I have severely underestimated people’s desire to watch other people die horrible, gruesome deaths. Is this an evolutionary thing? Why is that enjoyable?
In fact, the Final Destination series seems to be gaining momentum. This is the first in the series released sooner than three years after the previous installment and if successful will spawn a sixth and seventh film in the near future. I thought calling the fourth film The Final Destination implied the series would end but I guess that was wishful thinking.
