The zombie movie has become ubiquitous enough that any newcomers to the field must bring something distinctive and fresh to the table in order to stand even the slightest chance of making an impression. Filing Anna and the Apocalypse under a single “zombie movie” designation may be a futile effort. The songs and laughs don’t come at the expense of those key zombie movie ingredients, death and gore. Anyone worried that Anna and the Apocalypse might skimp on bloody fun: there’s more Shaun of the D

The miniature PlayStation system, launching Dec. 3, even carries the “Classic” naming convention used by the best-selling NES Classic and SNES Classic.

In Saint Denis, you might pass a street vendor named Timothy Donahue selling his Get Rich Quick book. He’ll be standing on a street on the north side of Saint Denis, directly south of the barber shop. Both his pitch and the title of the book he’s selling, Get Rich Quick, make it tempting to buy, even if it does cost $50. The problem with it, like most get rich quick schemes, is that it’s nonsense. If you do buy the book, you can talk to Timothy again on a subsequent visit to Saint Denis — he’ll

The spoof is becoming part of the self-sustaining ecosystem of bad movies, which in recent years have turned into a viable genre of their own. Breen and Wiseau are both part of what Keene calls a “genre of delusion,” bad movies made by people who have complete, unshakable confidence in their terrible ideas.
