Mon, May 02, 2011

Apocalyptic tales are always popular, for many reasons, but is there something so particularly appealing about zombie apocalypses that now we’re starting to see not only zombie comedies and zombie action horror but zombie dramas?

question of the day: How big a problem is the spoiler culture, should we fix it, and if so, how?

Tue, Apr 26, 2011

question of the day: What is a fireable offense for a film critic?

Mon, Apr 25, 2011

Tomorrow I will be attending — as a spectator only — Sci-Fi-London’s Easter parade. If you were there, what kind of costume would you wear?

Today is Good Friday, and there hasn’t been a Good Friday horror movie, unless we count The Passion of the Christ…
