I LOVE SARAH JANE

I LOVE SARAH JANE (SUNDANCE)
This was a great 15 minute short about a British trio of families living in a post apocolyptic world with zombies. As amped up as that sounds, it's small, subtle and quite moving. I wish George A. Romero could still pull some drama out of the genre he created, but he'd be wise to team up with whoever was responsible for this film.
Grade: A


By the way, I have seen the 3rd film in George Romero's latter day trilogy "Survival Of the Dead."

Since I was shown an early cut, I wanted to see a final cut before I review it. But an early review is coming - maybe as early as next week.

For those of us who were into the DEAD films of Romero, Land Of The Dead, Diary of the Dead and now, Survival of the Dead - this is like the new Star Wars trilogy for Zombie freaks. Unfortuntely, we're been just as dissapointed. Frankly, I liked the 2004 remaked of DAWN OF THE DEAD better than the new Romero Zombie films.


UNDERCOVER BOSS (CBS)
I still like it, I just think it's completely predictable. The same experience happens every single week. They need to mix it up a bit more for next season.


Adam Lambert Unplugged (MTV)
I loved Lambert on Idol. Here he just reprises some of those tunes and a few new ones, but it's a bore. Adam sings well, but somewhere along his road to fame, something cool was lost somehow.
Grade: C -


SOUTH PARK has been outragously funny this season. They have not had one sub-par episode yet. Who knew in its 15th year the show would be on fire? The recent Facebook themed ep, "YOU HAVE ZERO FRIENDS" was the bomb.

DAMAGES is coming to a conclusion. Last night they had their penultimate episode. What a great season. Martin short is fantastic as I've said earlier, but I wasn't crazy about the twist that storyline took, and frankly, the storytelling in the final leg is pushing credibility, but I love it nonetheless and can't wait for the finale - in what will probably end up being the series finale, as DAMAGES can't seem to get enough veiwers to warrant another year. Too bad, since its easily one of the finest dramas on TV.


Speaking of which, Hugh Larie did a great job directing himself on HOUSE, M.D. last night. They actually had some fun with the traditional "bottle" episode.
