Sweetbreads Anyone? – WARM BODIES
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Actually, I found out sweetbreads are not sauteed brains; but rather the thymus gland or pancreas of a calve. It’s still a disgusting proposition in terms of delicacies, unless of course, you happen to be a zombi, in which case, everything is good from the toes on up. Now an interesting new zombie fact is revealed in Jonathan Levine’s (The Wackness, 50/50) creature feature Warm Bodies – and that is, by eating your victim’s brain, you get to experience their memories and for a moment, feel almost alive again! Nicholas Hoult plays a very credible and adorable zombie, who’d you’d never believe is British, and…

Ur writing is raunchy, juvenile, stupid, racial and ridiculous yet I LOL'd so much in spite of myself. This movie will find it's core audience and they'll be lovin :-D the whole thing!

Favorite Films of 2012 and Favorite Posts of 2012
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor As a film blogger, I do see a considerable number of films/movies during the year, yet when it comes time to pick my favorites, and the Golden Globe Nominations are revealed, it becomes abundantly and disappointingly clear that I didn’t see nearly enough films/movies to make a proper judgment. I also swear, I’m constantly doing write-ups on what I do see, but then at the end of the year, there’s a whole host of movies I never did a post about, or just a very short commentary on facebook. (by the way, please like my facebook page – it’s at 143 likes, 150 would be…
