Okay, baby birds, I know momma Action Chick hasn’t fed you in a while, but I’ll have a Walking Dead-flavored meal coming soon, I promise. Right now I’m decompressing from South By Southwest ’14, so while I lick my wounds I thought I’d chat a bit about the most interesting stuff I saw, and how awesome or sucky it was.
Halt and Catch Fire: A new AMC drama about the ’80s computer boom.
Verdict: Pretty darn good! Great cast, great story, and great music.
The Raid 2: Berendal: The sequel to the ass-kicking Indonesian flick has our hero Rama infiltrating a cabal of criminals.
Verdict: It’s probably awesome, but I wouldn’t know because, after waiting several hours to see it, SXSW’s copy of The Raid 2 would only play without subtitles and they had to cancel the showing. BOO YOU, SXSW!
From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series: Robert Rodriguez returns to bring his vampire films to small screen form.
Verdict: Mediocre.
Silicon Valley: Mike Judge’s new series about life as a programmer in Silicon Valley.
Verdict: Pretty funny, but the show’s kind of a sausage fest. Yes, I know it’s about computer programmers, but still. There are girls who program computers, people, and I’d like to see a few.
Penny Dreadful: Horror abounds in this series set in the late 1800s, with vampires, ghouls, and even a few famous literary characters.
Verdict: It’s gooshy, it’s gory, and it seems like it’s going to be one hell of a ride!
This is the Action Flick Chick, and you’ve just been kicked in the ass!
