It’s sometimes hard to review universally acclaimed films. There’s a temptation to run counter to the pack and find flaw (anything everybody likes can’t really be good can it?) Sometimes you just have to admit it though: the pack has its moments. This is something special.

The fifth selection in our annual “Boiled Eggs and Brain Eaters” Easter zombie movie marathon. Another zombie comedy and (by far) the lowest budget selection of the day.
Zombie alert!

Rated Mature; Reviewed on PS3 and PC
Skyrim is the kind of game that people either love (and almost definitely already know they’ll love) or hate (and almost definitely know that they’ll hate). My time with Skyrim trailed off after just shy of 190 hours of playtime – to which category do you think I belong?
I had planned on playing the game on the PS3 but after getting the Collector’s edition on Christmas my son started playing it. Knowing that my time with the game would be indefinitely delayed I took advantage of Steam’s one-day 50% off sale and bought the game on the PC. This resulted in us playing the game in the same room most of the time.

Whenever a traditionally comedic actor (especially a traditionally gonzo, off-the-wall comedic character actor) moves into more serious things I always think that there must at least one poor schmuck that just saw the name on the marquee/box and grabbed it because they really, really needed a laugh. Maybe he had just found out something horrible and needed to take his mind off it; maybe all of life’s normal, tiny horrible things just piled up on him and he just needed one break.
