My Thoughts:
I first saw this movie at the FantasyFilmFest a few years back. The premise is a little like the ending of Shaun of the Dead spun further. What happens after a zombie apocalypse if zombies are domesticated and hold like pets.
Nice enough idea, though the movie battles with keeping this premise fun. But I still enjoyed it though.

Rating:

My Thoughts:

While I found this one to be a good movie. It was however a little slow for my taste. While the story line itself didn't feel like much I did like the visuals. I am glad I watched it... but it is not one I could watch often.

My Thoughts:
This season had a slow start, but it turned out great again. This is the season where Steve Carell left the show towards the end. The storyline they have given him to write him out of the show was the right way to go.
Also Ricky Gervais finally made two cameo appearances this season as David Brent. In the first he ran across Michael Scott and was joking with him.
The second was a Video CV where he applies for the manager job after Michael Scott left. I would have liked him interacting with the complete Office cast though.
Will Ferrell had a few episodes where he had taken over from Michael. He did a good job.
Sadly Pam and Jim didn't get a good storyline this season. I always liked their scenes together.
