This impressive set The Walking Dead: “The Complete Third Season” is richly developed characters, gripping action, and a good chunk of tragedy and gore. Perhaps there is something more powerful than the walkers and other humans that is coming after them but the writers and producers had the patience to make it interesting especially when a zombie bites things can be explained that it is not the bite that makes you into a zombie, it is just toxic and kills you and it is very possible that if someone were somehow “immune” to the pathogen that everyone seems to be infected with now that turns them into a zombie no matter how they die, the bite may still be toxic and kill them, but they wouldn’t turn into a zombie. There are several examples in science where one thing looked like it caused another thing and they were really unrelated when it was researched further but that is the magical part of this production and failed to disappoint all the fans, bringing the duo together for a fight that would end with Michonne (Danai Gurira) stabbing The Governor (David Morrissey) in the eye after killing his zombie daughter and smashing his zombie-head aquarium room to pieces. Many locations and scenes are incredible real and some zombies have their own personality and a past life in which you will figure out what happened to each other. Definitely two thumbs up for the upcoming series of The Walking Death 3 which must be part of your home entertainment collection will be available on August 27th in DVD and Blu-Ray.

The Walking Dead: “The Complete Third Season” is hands down the best action thriller drama TV show in history, it is not even like a TV show, it is almost like a longrunning movie and cultural phenomenon. The fans embrace it, the critics adore it. And now the stakes have never been higher for the survivors…On August 27th, Anchor Bay Entertainment unleashes AMC’s original series The Walking Dead: The Complete Third Season on Blu-ray™ and DVD. Available as a 5-disc set in each format, the release contains all sixteen episodes from the past season. Like the previous releases, The Walking Dead: The Complete Third Season comes stuffed with tons of bonus features, including exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, never-before-seen featurettes, audio commentaries from cast and crew, deleted scenes and other surprises!
Based on the hugely popular graphic novels by Robert Kirkman, This series continues to draw in record audiences. Season 3 follows the weary group of survivors led by police officer Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), as they take refuge in a prison and attempt to set up a permanent camp. But while invading zombies are an ever-present danger, they must also battle the living, not only in the form of abandoned prisoners, but also the sadistic “Governor” (David Morrissey) and his followers. New characters introduced this season include Danai Gurira as “Michonne,” with her two “zombie pets” in town, and Dallas Roberts (Shadow People) as the Governor’s lieutenant Milton, as well as the return of Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker). For all the fans this third season is classified in:
The Walking Death: The complete Third Season Blu-ray which will be on the street in August 27, 2013 with 688 minutes with format Widescreen version in English Dolby True HD 7.1 and French Dolby surround audio. Subtitles in English and French. Also The Walking Death: The complete Third Season DVD has almost the same characteristics but different format (Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78.1 with English Dolby Digital 5.1 and French Dolby surround audio. Or the whole combo The Walking Death: The complete Third Season Limited Edition Blu-ray and the packaging was designed by Todd McFarlane and his McFarlane Toys company. Here’s what he had to say about his initial idea for this case. The best part of this one is more interactive, because consumers are going to have to fill up the tanks themselves, and you can get little hooks on the heads, so you can arrange them any way you see fit. Also you can hang them in a certain order, or you can just let them go to the ground and flop around. No one person’s case has to be exactly like the others.
The new horror and torture subgenre comes with The Collection
After a stint in prison, Arkin (Josh Stewart) finds employment as a handyman. But Arkin decides to rob his boss in order to repay his ex-wife (Daniella Alonso). Venturing to his employer’s remote country house to make the heist, he soon finds himself — as well as the boss’ family — at the mercy of “The Collector.” This masked menace turns the house into a maze of fiendish traps. Only Arkin’s wits offer any hope of escape from gruesome death. This bloody, visceral entry in the “torture porn” genre is the directorial debut of screenwriter Marcus Dunstan, whose previous credits include Feast and Saw IV.
The Collector stands out as a film that resists compromise on the screen. He is not exactly identical to any other horror villain, is an amalgamation of various villains with his unique identifying feature being that he collects people, so to speak. Certainly If all you know how to do to make people squirm in their seats is play techno music and rely on way too much fake blood you shouldn’t be making movies but you have the option to stayed in your seat or leave it!
Marcus Dunstan talked about his movie: “I grew up with horror movies and we had to create the attic and box and set up the path of the collector’s mind, we had to build up the lashes, The character tried to protect his family so maybe we can continue with a second part but we have to review many things that we still have to answer and create a good sequel!”
Emma Fitzpatrick: “During the process of this character, I only had emotional scars, she makes you to think and identify some options for escaping and something was wrong and she always defeat until the last second.”
Patrick Melton: “My character has to face risky moments especially when he is involved with blood and a sickness mind, is really a challenge.”

Corey Feldman stars in the new indie horror film, “6 Degrees of Hell,” which was shot at the Hotel of Horror haunted house in Ross Township, Pa., a few miles north of the Slate Belt. “Uncle Jack’s Hotel of Horror” is besieged by a dark presence after two friends of “Uncle” Jack, Chris and Kellen, unwittingly release a deadly evil by transporting local psychic Mary Wilkins’ collection of haunted objects as props for the popular tourist attraction. At the same time, a local TV ghost hunter, confronts an evil that has haunted him all his life-one he believes is responsible for his sister’s death years ago. His search puts him in the path of a rogue police chief and June-a girl who seems to be the eye of this supernatural perfect storm. They all find themselves connected to the old hotel while the threads of their own personal horrors draw paranormal investigator Kyle Brenner (Feldman) to pull all the threads together.
This movie has turned into a total creep but is an excellent film in many takes especially in the hunter times. Two thumbs up!

By GalaTView Staff
The 2012 Dia de Los Muertos festival at Hollywood Forever Cemetery is the largest celebration of it’s kind in California. This year’s event will reach back to the pre-Aztec roots of Dia De Los Muertos and explore the Mayan Gods, rituals and calendar.
This joyful celebration of our ancestors had Musical performances by Ozomatli, La Santa Cecilia, Very Be Careful, Las Cafeteras, and Tribu. Over 100 Altars created by members of the community to their ancestors and loved ones. It also included Hundreds of Aztec Ritual Dancers in full costume and an Art Exhibition in the Cathedral Mausoleum. The environment was full of flash backs with death and alive people with many Arts and Crafts vendors. Therefore, there was Traditional Mexican cuisine by The Taste of Mexico, a group of LA’s top native Mexican restaurateurs who adhere to traditional Mexican ingredients and recipes to promote the authentic flavor of Mexico (any try was delicious) with tacos, tortas, enchiladas and Mexican drinks which everyone looks happy and satisfied with this incredible event. Los Angeles is a city that welcomes to all the foreigners traditions and open a part of its traditions in order to share “ A real taste of Hispanic Traditions.”
ATM will be your last transaction

It’s release on April 6, 2012 (Limited U.S. Theatrical) and the Screenwriter Chris Sparling (who wrote the screenplay of Buried) is back with a new thriller titled ATM. Much like the Buried concept, the movie ATM will primarily take place in one location, you nail it, in the vestibule of an Automated Teller Machine. The story centers on three co-workers who, on a routine stop at an ATM, unexpectedly end up in a desperate fight for their lives. Director David Brooks will helm the project. The cast includes Brian Geraghty, Josh Peck and Margarita Levieva.
The beginning is good and full of desperation with a splash of “Panic Room”. The performances were generally solid, the atmosphere was tense and the killer was relatively menacing. The characters are likable enough, some moments are pretty tense, and overall it’s decently constructed. However, you can be a little bit disappointed and frustrating at first, before it is remembered that most people are really like this. Hints of reality are much more horrifying than pure fiction. At the end, it has a psychological point of view and the main message is if you want to make any transaction in an Automated Teller Machine never park a mile away from the ATM despite it being the middle of the night in an empty parking lot because you will be in risk!
