TV Gets Modern

TV Gets Modern

PHOTO | ABC.COM
The days of sitting around the T.V. when the clock strikes seven are long gone.
DVR and Tivo have made sitting down to watch your show, when it comes on, a thing of the past. Now we watch episodes on Hulu or stations’ websites, almost commercial free and on our time. This has created a market that makes it nearly impossible for new shows to thrive in. However, when a gem comes along, you stand up and take notice.

‘Freaky’ Flight of Fun with the Conchords
[5 Nov 2009 | View Comments | 273 views]
‘Freaky’ Flight of Fun with the Conchords

PHOTO | Album – Sub Pop

For fans of the New Zealand comedy folk duo’s show, each track brings to mind the hilarious television segments/music videos.

Here or There: Night of the Living Dead/Zombieland

Official movie poster.
HERE – NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (DVD, Image Ten)
Review by Frank Rodasky
“They’re coming to get you, Bar¬bara…”
When George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead was released on October 1968, it was another in a long line of “zombie” horror movies, a genre that had been around for more than thirty years.
