Michael Rooker Brings in the Hordes at Vancouver Fan Expo
Zombies lined up Saturday hoping to pick Michael Rooker’s brain, as the star of the hit series The Walking Dead talked to fans and signed autographs in Vancouver. Rooker, who played bad boy Merle on the zombie apocalypse drama, is just one of more than a dozen celebrities at Fan Expo 2013, being held Saturday...
Billy Connolly – Fido
When I first heard of Fido, I was skeptical. I think I was worried it would be terrible, cheezy or just a sad result of the Shaun of the Dead frenzy that was still going at the time. I love Zombie comedies, but of course, too much of anything is bad. When I finally saw it, I...
