The reality is that while there are many laugh-worthy moments in the …
Looks like it’s Undead Friday, and no I’m not just referring to you Phuza Thursday practitioners. While we saw hordes of zombies do their best Katamari Damacy impersonation to kill Brad Pitt and the rest of the global population in this morning’s trailer for World War Z, now it’s time to look at a whole different kind of zombie story. …
Chris Evans has played a ladies man a couple of time now already. Once, he even did it while on fire. But his Captain America is a different beast altogether. I use “beast” in the most figurative terms there though, because when it comes to skirt chasing, he’s about as exciting as watching a painting of a stamp collection dry. …
