The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 12 Review: Must Be Something in the Air

12 March 2012 5:09 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

Episode 212 “Better Angels”

Everyone knows that shows save their best for the finale, right? Well expectations keep running higher and higher for The Walking Dead especially when they keep topping themselves in Season 2. The matter of Randall (Michael Zegen) was finally dealt with, although not smoothly and for those who have been chanting for Shane (Jon Bernthal) to pay for what he’s done. There cannot be a complaint with the way he went out–twice.

The Outbreak

Before I get to the drama involved, I want to discuss the science at work. Shane’s death and resurrection as a walker, along with Randall’s transformation confirmed what many feared. (Let’s not forget the two policemen walkers who showed no signs of being bitten) That at least four walkers we can confirm did not have bite marks that turned. All it takes now is to be bitten but kept alive long enough, »

'Walking Dead' exec producer Robert Kirkman talks about tonight's episode and That [Spoiler!]: 'I am a madman!'

11 March 2012 7:05 PM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »

After the shocking end to last week’s episode of The Walking Dead, the writing staff of AMC’s zombie show might have been forgiven for taking a week off,, mayhem-wise. They could, for example, have filled out the histories of Hershel and his family, or gotten Rick to put together a PowerPoint presentation explaining where exactly the search for Sophia went awry.

But no! The Walking Dead behind-the-scenes crew kept the pedal to the metal, and maybe even pressed down a smidgen harder, by killing off Jon Bernthal’s character Shane. And then, when he returned as a zombie, »

Julia Stiles to Walk in the Midnight Sun for NBC

2 March 2012 10:03 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

I've never been able to grasp why people seem to like Julia Stiles. To me, she's one of those actors who is adequate in her roles, but never manages to be anything other than a person reciting their lines. But in a world where Channing Tatum is a movie star, it seems appropriate that Stiles keep getting work too.

Deadline is reporting that Stiles joins the cast of "Midnight Sun". The thriller, based on an Israeli format, follows the mysterious disappearance of the Midnight Sun, a group living on a cult-like commune in Alaska, and a female FBI cult specialist leading the investigation that uncovers a larger conspiracy. Stiles will play FBI agent Leah Kafka, while Connor O’Farrell ("The Pacific") will play the town police chief and Emma Bell ("The Walking Dead"), his daughter Rory.

If nothing else, it sounds like an interesting concept for a series. Makes me »

5 Films That Should Not Have Worked, But Did!

17 February 2012 6:04 AM, PST | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »

With the recent Man On A Ledge receiving a rather lukewarm critical welcome, we ask whether a nothing film can ever work? What is a nothing film? It is that movie whose title often says it all; that movie, like Man On A Ledge, that seems to have such a bare premise, such a lack of anything remotely interesting or exciting going on that we have to assume it will be awful. Man On A Ledge has proved it to be true, hasn’t it? Well no!  In fact, here we take a quick look at just five films that by rights really should not have worked, but unlike the aforementioned cinema release, they did!

What Happens?

A man gets his arm stuck under a boulder for 127 hours.  He gets free.

Thoughts on... Final Destination 5 (2011)

26 January 2012 11:25 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Final Destination 5, 2011.

Directed by Steven Quale.

Starring Nicholas D'Agosto, Emma Bell, Miles Fisher, Arlen Escarpeta, David Koechner

and Tony Todd.

Synopsis:

A group of co-workers face a race against time to escape Death's sinister agenda after they survive a terrifying suspension bridge collapse.

For the last 11 years we’ve watched people get sliced, decapitated, hung, stabbed, impaled, and blown up, among other things, in the Final Destination series. What else could they possibly do in a 5th movie?

Like the first four movies we get someone who has a vision of a horrible accident about to happen and then rescues his friends, and possibly other, from the situation only to have death hunt them down and try to finish what he started. This time around we have Sam played by Fired Up’s Nicholas D’Agosto. He sees that him and his friends are supposed to die in a horrific bridge collapse, »

Current Star of The Walking Dead in Early Discussions for Former Showrunner’s Pilot

24 January 2012 4:00 PM, PST | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

Here’s what we know. Former The Walking Dead showrunner Frank Darabont has been given the greenlight by TNT to produce the pilot for his project L.A. Noir, a drama about police corruption and the underworld – the criminal underworld – in the 1940s and 50s, based on the book by John Buntin.

Variety now reports that Jon Bernthal, who plays Shane on The Walking Dead, is in “early conversations” with TNT to play L.A. cop Joe Teague, the lead character. “Sources close to the situation emphasized that discussions have barely begun and there’s no certainty a deal will come together,” so who knows.

There is likely an affinity between Darabont and Bernthal, as the character of Shane is killed very early in the comic book series, but reports have been that Darabont and others liked the character in the show so much that they decided that his survival would »
