The Strain S1E2, “The Box”

After an underwhelming start to the series, I was hoping that this second episode might renew my excitement for the show.  The survivors were being released.  With The Master being transported across the river by the unaware (and always angry) Gus, the apocalypse would be starting.  In addition to that, Vasiliy Fet (my favorite character […]

Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead mini review
