Damn walkers. Not only is someone leaving dead animals at the prison fence to attract them but now they’re letting them in to the prison. Either that or the walkers are becoming far more proficient at picking locks. I am betting on the Governor and his two henchmen, who Continue Reading

By most accounts, Jonathan Glazer’s latest film, which attracted equal parts cheers and jeers at its world premiere overnight at the Venice Film Festival, is an unorthodox creature.
