I am not big on gut & gore. But if you can look past the special effects you may find some smartly written scripts chock full of good character interactions.
Might even find some zombie metaphors for life crisis like medical or financial or legal woes or jobless/homelessness that need to be faced up and overcome... IMO one of the better cable offerings of late.

Free on Hulu, a documentary on Novelist Ayn Rand who wrote Atlas Shrugs.
http://www.hulu.com/#!watch/373081
An interesting episode of Grimm aired Friday night http://www.hulu.com/watch/417743 It is based on an actual legend from New Mexico called "La Llorona" which is about a mother who kills her children, then herself and then haunts the area, luring children to their deaths. Lon Strickler wrote externsively about the legend in his Phantoms and Monsters blog http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/201...na-legend.html
Recently in New York City (before the Grimm episode aired), a nanny stabbed to death two of the three children she cared for and then stabbed herself in the neck. The mother came home with the third child to find the two children in the bathtub and the nanny stabbing herself. http://abcnews.go.com/US/nanny-stabb...5#.UIyj22_7KJs The nanny is alive but unresponsive. News reports said that toxicology tests came back negative and doctors have no idea why she is "catatonic".
Sorry to post such a gruesome story but I found the similarities to the legend chilling.

So has anyone seen CLOUD ATLAS? What did you think?
The premise sounds intriguing.
Review continuesWith Cloud Atlas, writing/directing duo The Wachowskis (The Matrix Trilogy) and their collaborator Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) attempt to convert David Mitchell’s multi-layered, multi-faceted novel into a blockbuster movie experience that feeds both the mind and the soul. To call it ambitious would be an understatement.
The story is in fact six stories, spread across various epochs of time (the mid-19th century, the early 1930s, the mid-1970s, 2012, the future, and a more distant future). In each of these stories, we meet various characters (played by the same ensemble of actors) whose lives, experiences and legacies ripple throughout past and future via artistic connective threads like music, writing or film footage, shaping life, destiny – and even the fate of the world, in some cases. As each story progresses along its arc, a web of cosmic significance slowly but surely comes into view, reminding us that our lives are not just our own, and our connections to others – whether comprehended or not – are far more precious than we may know.

Revolution: I had given up on this show but decided to watch it one more time. I was pleasantly surprised. Charlie and the rest of the protagonists have at least begun to shed their impossible bumbling foolishness and begun acting like people who have been living in a dystopian jungle for fifteen years. The show looks like it is building toward something which may be worth it after all. Anyone who shoots a looney sadist right through the heart without any pretty speeches is OK by me.
