Nevermind Zombies – I’ve Moved On To Werewolves

Time Magazine’s Lev Grossman wrote an interesting blog post about zombies climbing the monster social ladder. But while I can never say enough nice things about zombie Nazis, the real underground monster sensation is werewolves. https://gizmodo.com/best-zombie-nazi-fight-scene-in-history-5125082 I don’t disagree with Grossman that zombies are about to get their big shambling moment in the sun.

Air-conditioned coffins are all the rage now in Serbia, where they keep bodies looking extra fresh.

Dragonball: The Quest For The Silly Grail

There are balls of lint smarter than Dragonball Evolution, which opened today. But at the same time, it’s an awesomely goofy slapstick action-comedy with acrobatic fight scenes, laser pistols and scenery-chewing. Here’s our spoilery review. How dumb is Dragonball?
