Frank Darabont creates one of television's most daring projects. Strong horror and gore, powerful drama and a great cast join together in perfect gruesome harmony in AMC's "The Walking Dead". The story of a group of people trying to survive the undead outbreak is by far one of the most enjoyable TV series of 2010 and you might even love it without being a fan of the zombie genre. Season 1 features six episodes. In October, this year, AMC will start airing the second season. For more details about Season 1, check out my review on this blog. Available on Blu-Ray
and DVD.

THE NEXT THREE DAYS
Award-winning writer and director Paul Haggis ("Crash"
, "In the Valley of Ellah"
) approaches the thriller genre with "The Next Three Days", but the results are not very satisfying. Sure, Russel Crowe and Elizabeth Banks are charismatic leads and make it worthwile, but the ludicrous plotting and implausible second half take away from the overall experience. So, if you really like Crowe or Banks, you might enjoy this movie, otherwise it's an iffy proposition. One thing's for sure, this is no "Prison Break"

MORNING GLORY
Romantic comedies are a dime a dozen, but once in a while something unexpected happens. One of these very common rom-coms manages to surprise and exhilarate. "Morning Glory" might not be the perfect example, but it sure comes close to it. A perfect match-up of actors, Rachel McAdams & Patrick Wilson (the young generation) and Harrison Ford & Diane Keaton (the elderly generation), helps the movie's brainless script turn into an enjoyable movie, derivative, but fun. Director Roger Michell ("Notting Hill
", "Changing Lanes
") is good with actors and it shows. Available on Blu-Ray
and DVD.

Seriously, if you haven't heard of the "Jackass" franchise, you're better off not knowing. There's not much to say about this one. You either hate it or love it. The crazy stunts, the insane recklessness and ultimate disdain for all life and human integrity are here for you mortifying enjoyment. If you can stomach it, you will love it. And it's all in gross out 3D for the first time ever (like that's some kind of accomplishment). Prepare to witness the end of civilised life as we know it. Available on a Two-Disc 3D DVD and Blu-Ray Combo Edition.
