Barbarella, the girl of the 21st century, is about to be reinvented by Dino de Laurentiis for the real 21st century. The plan is to be more loyal to the French comics that the character is based on and move away from the campiness that marks the original. The new Barbarella will be written by [...]
Stacy: Attack of the School Girl Zombies
Zombies are one trick ponies of the dead. They kill. People run. People fall. People get eaten. Since we all know their M.O., a good zombie movie has to do more than just be disgusting. It has to approach zombies in a different way. The ones I think are the best aren’t even horror movies; [...]
Lost: One of Us
Craphole Island hates babies. So, the Others took Rousseau’s baby, Walt and the other kids because they can’t have kids of their own. Ethan kidnapped Claire to keep the baby alive. Again with the non-productive secrecy! How hard is it to say, “This island hates babies. We’re giving you these injections so the island doesn’t [...]

Zombies: Words of Wisdom by The Tamworthian
Gather around the fire my amigos and let us visit the joy that is zombies. Those rotten buggers may want to eat our brains and steal our cars, but frankly I’ve never met a zombie I didn’t like. Well, that’s a lie. There was this one who tried to pull my ex with some, admittedly [...]
PRGAAMWA DVD Fight: Tideland vs. Children of Men
On the surface, this first DVD fight held a lot of promise. I’ve always liked Terry Gilliam’s brilliantly weird movies, so I expected to like Tideland. Alfonso Cuarón is another director who is starting to have a good track record with me. Y Tu Mama Tambien was amazing. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban [...]
A Guide to Recognizing Your Zombies
How do you know when you’re dealing with a hungry zombie versus a raging drunk? How do you defend yourself? The Tamworthian assures me that zombies can’t climb, so you should be safe on the second floor of your house or up a tree. If, like me, you live in a one story home and [...]
