Most Comprehensive List of Zombie Films Ever

Shout out to my friend Chris who sent me a link to what has to be the most comprehensive list of zombie films ever!  I thought I was pretty well-versed in even the most obscure of zombie films, but this list puts me to shame.  Since it is Wikipedia, I'm sure there are some additions that are questionable for this genre, although it does make a point of saying it does not include anything that falls under the umbrella of 'ghost, vampire or mummy'.  You're even given the ability to click to documentary vs. short film vs. television and so on.  All told, it looks to be pretty damn good.  I'm tempted to do a "list of my favorites" but it would most likely end up looking exactly like the Wikipedia list, so why bother.  Click around and find you some new zombie films to sink your teeth into! [sorry, I had to put at least one stupid pun in this post]

Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" Scares Me Already

I've always loved the story of Alice in Wonderland, with it's classic once-upon-a-time fairytale imaginationland vibe. I always pictured the sweet old Rev. Dodgson telling this story to those sweet little girls, Edith and Alice Liddell, who were in rapt wonder, mesmerized by the land of talking rabbits and mice and playing cards that could arrange themselves. Never did I ever imagine the creatures that populated this famous tale to look anything like the nightmarish creations of Tim Burton. Then again, what did I expect, really? Burton has a way with story-telling and an unearthly talent for setting a scene that is unlike any you'll ever encounter in real life. When you think about it, Alice in Wonderland is one of the most bizarre children's stories  of all time, especially for its time. Here then are some of the strange beasts we will be seeing in Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland, arriving in theaters this month:
