Juan de los Muertos or Juan of the Dead. Even the title elicits a smile. The concept does even more – a full-fledged zombie (communists?) flick produced on the island of Cuba, by Cubans, with Cuban zombies in full make up and a protagonist that does the unthinkable — decides…

The day we have all been waiting for is here: the Basketball Wives Season Three reunion. To say this is our Christmas is an understatement. This third season has been a doozy with love, loss, furry, and fighting like we have never seen before. So we think it’s appropriate that…
