Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies review
I was a zombie over the Christmas holidays. I caught something really nasty and was barely able to shuffle around the flat. I was, however, able to pick up and rip through Eddington and Fabbri’s impressive Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies. This is a fantastic graphic novel. Really, the title gives you summary.

Awesomeness is the Kung Fu Panda 2 TV Spot
It’s not quite a trailer. It’s a 16 second TV spot for Kung Fu Panda 2 but still manages to be awesome. What’s not to like about Po and the gang?

They keep on messing with the schedule, which always impacts audience numbers and then the networks point out audience numbers aren’t what they should be. When Fringe returns to American TV it has […]
Doctor Who series six – the American promo
Comedy is the watch word here as the Doctor and Amy Pond star in this trailer for season six. The Doctor’s ability to fly the Tardis is certainly worthy of debate. Has he got a lot better at it recently? In Christmas Carol he certainly seemed to be showing control that some incarnations would have […]

Author Neil Gaiman makes a cameo in this recreation of Labyrinth. It stars Amanda Palmer, his wife, in the famous endless run/worm scene. The video also features Edinburgh. Go Edinburgh. What do you think? Talented people mucking around with a video camera and doing really well with it?
