The 2-hour extended pilot of the new TV series Caprica takes place 58 years before the events seen in Battlestar Galactica. It “tells the story of how Colonial humanity first created the robotic Cybernetic Lifeform Nodes or Cylons, who would later plot to destroy human civilization in retaliation for their enslavement”. I watched the 2-hour extended pilot and it was awesome; I’m really looking forward to the series (which airs in 2010). You can check out the promo video here.

Tonight I watched Pontypool, a very “different” type of zombie movie. I thought it was awesome because I had no clue what to expect next. The story line is very original and doesn’t really follow the same boring script that all the other zombie movies follow. It’s definitely the most interesting zombie movie I’ve ever seen.

If you like lots of gore and zombies chasing innocent people around, then you probably won’t like this movie. However, if you have somewhat of an imagination (enough imagination to enjoy science fiction) and like to be kept guessing, then you’ll probably agree that this movie is awesome. (Fair warning: Everyone else watching it with me thought it was the stupidest thing they’ve ever seen.)
