The Raid 2 is without a doubt a disc that should be on your shelf.

I just hope that the dodgy CG effects and Corey Stoll's wig are reined in as the series progresses.

In the end, this is a fairly entertaining monster movie with an original creature that does a little more than just stalk and kill our heroes.

How do you critically evaluate a film that is so incredibly predictable that it feels put together by a computer algorithm rather than having any human hands involved?

All Binge… No Purge: In the Flesh Season 2

All Binge... No Purge

It walked a delicate line between the nightmare violence and gore of The Walking Dead and the emotional devastation of France’s Les Revenants.

Willow Creek is a high-water mark for the genre, and further proof that Bobcat Goldthwait is a film maker who can do just about anything he sets his mind to.

As far as crypto-conspiracy theories go, Russian Yeti hits just about every sweet spot I’ve got.

There's no subtext about nuclear war or tampering with genetics or anything really. Hell, nuclear bombs are great!

I hope nobody was hoping to see Matthew Broderick's picture on this list.

Agents of SHIELD 1.21 “Ragtag”

Paul Brian McCoy

The real question becomes, is Ward salvageable? Marvel is all about the redemption arc.

Hannibal 2.10 “Naka-Choko”

Paul Brian McCoy

May 8, 2014 0 15

I can’t really think of another crime show where the sex scenes are more unnerving than the murder scenes, so Fuller is doing something right.

These are the monsters with personality. The monsters with spirit. The monsters that made us want to build Lego cities and tear them down again.

Agents of SHIELD 1.20 “Nothing Personal”

Paul Brian McCoy

May 6, 2014 0 9

That was a perfect moment in one of the most effectively crafted episodes of the season.

Agents of SHIELD 1.18 “Providence” & 1.19 “The Only Light in the Darkness”

It’s been drawn directly into the Post-S.H.I.E.L.D. world of the Marvel Movie Universe with everything that entails.

Oh wait. Did I not mention the mutant frog people? The movie's called Hell Comes to Frogtown after all.

Shaun of the Dead is the best zombie film ever made. There. I said it.

EZMM Day 8 (EASTER!): Braindead aka Dead Alive (1992)

All I can really say is that Braindead is extremely funny.

EZMM Day 7.2: Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 20, 2014 0 7

Dawn of the Dead 2004 may not have any pie fights or biker gangs, but it does have a relentless pace and some quite brutal set piece scenes.

EZMM Day 7.1: Night of the Living Dead (1990)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 20, 2014 0 18

I wouldn't say it's a better made film, but it's just as enjoyable as Romero's own.
