Die Hard 5: “A Good Day to Die Hard” Set for Valentine’s Day 2013

Speaking on the ‘Jim Rome Show’, FOX Executive Tom Rothman today broke some details about the newest chapter of the franchise. The 5th movie, titled A Good Day to Die Hard will follow John McClane to Russia to find his son – John McClane Jr. The casting of Junior is still in the air, but if this is done right, maybe it’s the start of whole new generation ass kicking.

Seeing as Die Hard is one of my favorite movies ever, and unlike most ‘Web Writers’ I loved the 4th movie as well, I am extremely excited for this. The big question – who should play Junior?

I’ll have a list of possibles shortly, who do you think should get it?

#21b – Countdown to Halloween: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

We already saw Doc Kronner’s take on this classic, so here is another opinion from TheBustedBoxes…

This is simply the classic Halloween horror flick in my mind. It has influenced everything from video games to music videos ala Thriller….

Dexter: Season 6, Episode 2 – “Once Upon A Time” Review

The second episode of season six of Dexter “Once Upon a Time”, was basically a setup for the rest of the season. It was packed with delicious morsels of change. For instance, not only did Quinn propose to Deb Morgan, but SHE SAID NO! Since Quinn is my least favorite character, I didn’t want that kind of permanent tie into the show.

Also, little Harrison is pointing out Daddy’s little brown box. Dexter’s box for his blood slides has apparently been seen… by a two-year-old. Don’t worry… Dex got Harrison his own box for his toys. This is a sign, though, that he will be noticing every little thing Dexter does.

 Deb Morgan is Homicide’s new Lieutenant! Although Batista was expecting the position, Matthews gave the job to Deb. LaGuerta is always finding a way to be shady or make Matthews dislike her, and, as Batista said in the episode, he always ends up paying for it.

It is unfortunate, because Angel Batista is one of the coolest characters on Dexter. He is realistic. He has tried picking up a hooker, screwed up his marriage, and got framed by Ms. “Pardon my tits”. Nevertheless, Deb is now leading the department. She is slowly but surely becoming my hero.

#21 – Countdown to Halloween: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

Shot by a group of college friends who made commercials, Night of the Living Dead has endured for over 40 years as the gold standard of zombie films. Released in 1968, on a shoe-string budget, and with little to no experience for most of the cast and crew, this film continues to influence pop culture still today.

Breaking Bad: Season 4, Episode 13 – “Face Off” Finale Review

Face off. Wow – Aptly titled. Tonight’s episode started off right where last week’s ended – with Walt having failed in his attempt to blow up Gus and Jessie still hanging around the hospital. As the episode progresses Walt learns about the relationship between Gus and Hector and heads to the retirement home.

Hank and the family are still under protection and Saul is scrambling for his life. I’m not gonna recap the whole episode, because those are everywhere. BUT – I will give you the goods here:

And let’s all thank Warming Glow for this: (MAJOR SPOILER)

The Walking Dead Season Two Updates!

As the air date rapidly approaches, AMC’s The Walking Dead season two is becoming one of the most anticipated shows of the fall. In my opinion, October 16 could NOT come fast enough!

First things first: The Walking Dead has a new head-honcho. Ex-executive producer and writer Frank Darabont has left the show, leaving Glen Mazzara as the new hefe, and Robert Kirkman remains the executive producer. Some thought that Darabont’s leaving might hurt the show, and there were a lot of rumors that budget cuts would also take away from the entertainment value. However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, if the first two episodes of season two are any indication of the show’s success, the fans should not worry. THR says that the show will continue its authentic story-driven thrill and zombified horror.

The Walking Dead Season TwoSecond things second: The Walking Dead has websiodes online! The Walking Dead: Torn Apart – A six episode series is available now at AMC or on YouTube. The webisodes explore Hannah the bicycle girl, and her struggle through the apocalypse. (She is the torn apart zombie Rick Grimes discovered in halves during the first episode*)

The Walking Dead Season Two

Thirdly: There is a new trailer out for The Walking Dead Season Two in which they introduce a church. It looks as if some of the survivors–or all of them possibly–are beginning to lose faith. Also, some of them ponder slipping away from the pack. “Let’s split up” are usually someone’s last words in a horror film, so I really hope that does not happen.

Cuatro: The Walking Dead executive producer Marazza says that the majority of Season two will take place in Hershel’s Farm, a familiar location in the comics. He also said, according to MTV news, that to make this show work and keep it going, we have to assume the zombies are winning. I feel like that is pretty easy to do, considering how many survivors we know about versus how many zombies in hoards we have seen. Marazza also said he is dying to introduce the governor into the show, but that he was not a part of the Hershel storyline. It was not made clear whether he will be introduced into this season or not.

If all of that doesn’t make you excited for The Walking Dead Season Two, I don’t know what would. This looks like a dangerous, thrilling, and gory season on the horizon!
