I'm impressed by how sci-fi Romanchuk's direction has been with The Zombie Hunters. The dynamic between the infected and uninfected is just brilliant. Read more

Gunnerkrigg Court is one of my favorites, but The Abaddon is definitely the one that gives me the willies. Hell is other people, indeed. Read more

The foodie Blade Runner sequel will have to feature a tortilla unicorn. Read more

Who said I was going for less disturbing? Read more

They did mean figurative rather than literal season. But the gist was that Lord of the Rings has an apocalyptic feel, a sense that the world might end very soon. That isn't present in The Hobbit, so a lot of the movie is color cued to reflect that time before Sauron took Gondor. Read more
