Thoughtful Reflections on Faith and Life
Are you sick of zombie movies yet? There are plenty of bad ones out there but there are still a few that are finding something fresh in this well worn genre. We Bury the Dead is one of them. We Bury the Dead is different in that it is not exactly a zombie apocalypse. It … Read More “We Bury the Dead – Review” »
The Walking Dead, the original series, was an important part of the zombie craze that we are still in the midst of. We have already had a couple of spinoff series that have come and gone. While The Walking Dead series is over, not all of the characters died by the final episode. There are … Read More “TWD Dead City: Season One – Review” »
From shambling corpses to fast-moving infected hordes, zombies have captivated audiences for nearly a century. The zombie genre has evolved dramatically, reflecting social anxieties and pop culture trends while continually reanimating itself with fresh perspectives. Here’s a look at how zombie cinema and television have developed, from early origins to the phenomenon it is today. … Read More “The Evolution of the Undead: A Look at Zombie Movies and TV Series” »
One of the best zombie movies that I have ever watched is Train to Busan. If you have not seen it, you should. It is a South Korean movie and it is about so much more than zombies. A prequel to Train to Busan was made and it is called Seoul Station. Unlike Train to … Read More “Seoul Station – Review” »
One of the television series that I had heard good things about and was on my radar was Kingdom. Now, there are lots of shows and movies similarly named. This one is about a zombie outbreak set in 17th century Korea. That should narrowing things down a bit. At first glance, this show seems bizarre. … Read More “Kingdom (Television Series) – Review” »
I have a great love for movies on the Second World War and I had noticed that there was movie that came out some time ago called Overlord. Overlord is the name of the military operation more commonly called D-Day. When I watch one of these movies, I normally blog about them on my Military … Read More “Overlord (Movie) – Review” »
I must confess that I have a soft spot for zombie movies and television shows. But they have to be done well. I need more than just the undead biting into people. The problem is that there are only so many variations on the theme. Somewhere I came across a recommendation for a movie called … Read More “Train to Busan – Review” »
I am a bit of sucker for zombie movies and so I was looking forward to this new series, The Last of Us. I need to say up front that I am completely unfamiliar with the video game. One of the scary things about this series is that the “zombies” have a fairly realistic origin. … Read More “The Last of Us: Season One – Review” »
I have a soft spot for zombie movies. When I heard that Arnold Schwarzenegger movie with zombies, I knew I wanted to watch it. Now, of course know exactly what a Schwarzenegger movie about zombies will be like, right? Wrong. I have seen enough zombie movies to know it is difficult to do anything fresh … Read More “Maggie – Review” »
As a Walking Dead fan, I was surprised that I hadn’t realized that there was another spinoff. I made sure to watch the World Beyond as soon as I could. What did I think about it? That’s complicated. It definitely did not grab me the way the original series or Fear the Walking Dead did. … Read More “The Walking Dead: World Beyond – Season One” »
There are times that I think that Fear the Walking Dead is better than the original Walking Dead. This is probably because it has a much smaller cast of characters and the stories are not quite so complex. Season six includes the conclusion to the Virginia storyline. She was an interesting villain in that it … Read More “Fear the Walking Dead: Season Six – Review” »
Yes, I’m still watching the Walking Dead and for the most part, I’m still enjoying it. There are some natural challenges for a series, just being this far into its run. You can only tell the same story so many times. While the series is still strong, it is probably good that it is ending … Read More “Walking Dead: Season 10 – Review” »
The second season of Black Summer was similar in style to the first season and just as interesting. Whereas the first season was about how various people dealt with the first weeks of the zombie apocalypse, this one is more of how humanity settles into the “new normal.” Spoiler alert: They don’t do well. Season … Read More “Black Summer: Season Two – Review” »
As I have mentioned previously, I’m a sucker for zombie TV shows and movies. When I saw Black Summer on Netflix, I thought I would give it a try. I didn’t know when I started that it was by the people who made Z Nation and may be in the same fictional world. I might … Read More “Black Summer: Season One – Review” »
One of my guilty pleasures is zombie movies/TV shows. I was intrigued when I saw that Zack Snyder had made another zombie movie. I like some of his stuff, so it should be worth watching. Well, it was a Zack Snyder zombie movie. It was everything you would expect from that. It definitely wasn’t my … Read More “Army of the Dead – Review” »
Fear the Walking Dead has changed so much since its first season. It began with a blended family and a few acquaintances. Now only one person from that family and a few of the rest are still alive. While I liked the early seasons, this new version has really grown on me. This particular season … Read More “Fear the Walking Dead: Season Five – Review” »
I will admit that I have a soft spot (in my brain) for zombie stories. I’m a big fan of Walking Dead and World War Z. But I also know that just having a zombie apocalypse as the setting is not enough for a good story. Cargo is a zombie movie like no other. I … Read More “Cargo – Review” »
I have been a fan of the Walking Dead for some time. Admittedly, I have never read any of the graphic novels. That day will come. As with many Walking Dead fans, I was excited about the new spinoff/prequel series Fear the Walking Dead. I got a chance to watch the first season and I … Read More “Fear the Walking Dead: Season One – Review” »
Although I was never into zombies as a teenager, I was finally infected in my 40s (see what I did there?). It all started with watching the first season of the Walking Dead. I think it was the Voodoo aspect of zombies that turned me off. Having more of a scientific origin makes it more … Read More “The Zombie Survival Guide” »
