How does Being Human manage to make a zombie fashion show cute?

Sometimes watching Being Human is like cradling a big basket of mewing kittens. This show can channel the sex powers of Sam Witwer’s chin, the genuine sweetness of Meaghan Rath and the disarmingly comical charm of Sam Huntington.

We’ll admit it: Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters actually looks kind of cute

Even though the first Percy Jackson was both a bit muddled and leaned a little too hard on the silly, we liked the gags and the world-building. Plus it got points for turning Pierce Brosnan into a centaur that will forever haunt our dreams. And now, there’s a second Percy Jackson movie, and… it looks…
