Hello everyone!  I'm sorry that it's taken so awfully long to get back to posting.  I just got my first real teaching job and I'm overwhelmed with excitement (and work!)  In addition, apparently I'm about to move houses in two months.  While that's exciting, it will certainly be a handful!  Unfortunately I haven't had much time to read or even post on the movies that I've seen, but I do hope to rectify that soon enough.  Perhaps this weekend, if I get some spare time.  In any event, I'm glad to be back.

I do have a few special announcements for all of you, all of which I've been waiting for some time now.  Permuted Press announced the release date for the third (and as far as I know, final) book of Z.A.

This movie works on so many levels.  The first is that if you're a fan of Bruce C…

AMC is hosting a "Most Dangerous Zombie Hunter Poll" right now.  The cool / unconventional part of this poll is that from the outset you can vote all the way to the win in one go.  Then everyone's votes get tallied.

Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes, The Walking Dead) VS   Ken Foree (Peter, Dawn of the Dead - original)

Will Smith (Robert Neville, I Am Legend)  VS  Cillian Murphy (Jim, 28 Days Later)

Woody Harrelson (Tallahassee, Zombieland)  VS  Simon Pegg (Shaun, Shaun of the Dead)

Bruce Campbell (Ash "Ashley" Williams, The Evil Dead series)  VS  Milla Jovovich (Alice, Resident Evil series)

Now, first off, I'm not telling you who I'm voting for.  (If I were honest, I would admit its because I have no clue who I'm voting for just yet.  If I were dishonest, I'd say its because I want you to make up your own mind.)  This is only the first round in AMC's poll, there are still a few other elimination rounds.  Keep track and vote at http://polls.amctv.com//…
