World War Z (2013)
Great Zombie Flick!
If are a fan of the zombie genre, please ignore all the negative reviews for this film. World War Z had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish and I thought it was quite a different take on the genre. Although the film does steer away from the book of the same title, I found myself thoroughly entertained. Contrary to other opinion, I thought Brad Pitt played a terrific role and being a big fan of "The Killing" series, I enjoyed watching Mireille Enos as Brad's wife. She is a brilliant actress and I'm sure we'll be seeing more of her in future film and TV roles.
Simply put, if you want heart-thumping, fast-paced zombie action then give this a go and I'm certain you won't be disappointed.
Ripper Street (2012)
Great period mystery/drama
In my opinion, the British mystery/drama "Ripper Street" leaves the US "Copper" for dead. To all who have based their reviews on a single viewing, please give this show another chance. The acting and writing are brilliant and the characters are well-developed. Each episode leaves you wanting more. I particularly like the forensic scenes. Very interesting to see how far the science had developed during this period in British history. The stories are also well-paced, combining a good balance of action, drama and mystery. Don't give up on "Ripper Street" just yet because you just might be surprised by this British take on a "whodunnit?"
