ZOMBIE OUTBREAK OF MEDIA PROPORTIONS

There’s nothing very special about zombies. They’re literally just walking corpses, incredibly slow moving corpses at that. They’ve got nothing on the immortal, bloodsucking vampires or the shape shifting werewolves. With those creatures, you usually need a wooden steak or a silver bullet to finish…

HALLOWEEN COSTUMES MAKING TRENDS

Halloween costumes are always fun to put together. They’re also equally stressful. What’s the perfect costume to wear? What’s popular? What’s easy to make? These questions can keep us college students up at night almost as much as a good horror film. Here are some…

Gravity Has Real Weight

A good movie should engage its audience, both with its story and characters. If done right, films can enchant us to visit another world and feel for these imaginary people. Alfonso Cuaron’s “Gravity” does all that and more, thanks to powerhouse performances from Sandra Bullock…

And Hello Saul

Fret not, “Breaking Bad” fans; you can still have your fix of Walter White’s universe, even if he’s not in it. AMC has commissioned a spinoff prequel series, “Better Call Saul,” that focuses on Walt’s lawyer Saul Goodman before the events of the show.  Goodman…

AGENTS OF SHIELD SHOWS PROMISE

“An ant has no quarrel with a boot,” said Loki to Nick Fury towards the beginning of “The Avengers.” In a lot of ways, the films of the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe are about the boots, those larger-than-life heroes who could squash us without a…
