You may have heard your friends, family, or co-workers talking about The Walking Dead. This is an original series that debuted on AMC. It features a deputy sheriff, Frank Grimes, who was in a coma and awoke to a world overrun by zombies. Now Frank leads a small band of survivors. They must deal with having enough supplies, fending off zombies, and worrying about other survivors who may pose a threat. The acting in Walking Dead Season 2 is superb, and the show is full of suspense, drama, and a good bit of action.

If you have not caught the show on AMC, now is the perfect time to see it on Netflix. Netflix has it on their stream, so you can simply watch it on your computer. Many people prefer this option because it is incredibly quick and easy. If you do not have a computer, you can get order the episodes on DVD and watch them at your leisure.
Netflix is always striving to have the latest and greatest movies and shows available to you. The Walking Dead second season is even better than the first season. It has been praised by critics and fans alike for being a truly innovative and ground-breaking show. Be sure not to miss out on seeing one of the best TV series to come out in recent memory.
Netflix may have trouble reaching its target for the year for new subscribers. This outlook has disappointed Wall Street and sent Netflix’s shares down nearly 16 percent.
The company thinks that the Olympic games will compete for their customers time and hurt its ability to bring in new customers. If they do not make the amount that they thought they would for the quarter, it may be hard for them to reach their goal of 7 million new subscribers for 2012. About a year ago, Netfix had earnings of $1.29 a share for the quarter and watched its shares plunge in 2011.
The company believes that they have challenges ahead and will have ups and downs as they pioneer Internet television. They do believe though that they are making progress in everything that they do. Netflix needs to keep growing to pay what they owe to Walt Disney Co, CBS Corp, Warner Bros, and others to stream their TV shows and movies.
The company is moving away from mailing DVDs in its red envelopes. It may be because DVD customers declined in the second quarter. You might be able to find free dvd trials from Netflix though. You can find out if they are doing the free trials on their website.

You might be asking,
When is Nextflix coming out with Season 2 of the Walking Dead?
Or When is the Walking Dead Season 2 coming to Netflix?
Or When is the Season 2 of the Walking Dead coming to Netflix?
Or Is Walking Dead Season 2 coming to netflix?
AMC and Netflix have an agreement in place that was recently expanded to make the Walking Dead available to Netflix subscribers. The 2nd season started in October but Netflix was only able to show episodes from the first season at that time. AMC is only allowing Netflix to stream previous seasons when the next season starts. Therefore wait for Season 2 to be available only when Season 3 is ready to air.
Netflix is a cheap service that people can use to watch episodes of a television series, movies, documentaries, and more (ie. the Walking Dead on demand) , all at their computer or Wii. It’s fast, easy and convenient, and has thousands of options that one can choose from. One of the best television series to watch episodes from has to be ‘The Walking Dead‘, a zombie thriller full of suspense, action, and most of all, zombies.
In the series, the main character must struggle to overcome the difficulties that a zombie horde has brought into his life, and the lives of those around him. In ‘The Walking Dead’ the most significant danger is just that, the walking dead, or the undead zombies. In the episodes available to watch on Netflix they are called ‘walkers‘. The cast of the show fights for their life against the slew of these undead fiends.
Finally, if you are looking for action packed television, look no further than Netflix, on which you can watch the entire first season of the spine-tingling show, ‘The Walking Dead’. Whether you are looking for gory, hair-raising fun, or you just want to admire the hunky main character, this show is the one you should be watching!
The directors of these films weren’t taking any chances of their characters being forgotten, so they came out all guns blazing. Here are my top grand entrances by characters in some of the most iconic 1960’s movies.
Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
David Lean’s masterpiece of film making included the notorious entrance of Omar Sharif (playing Sherif Ali Ibn el Kharish).
Lawrence and his escort Tafas are standing at a Bedouin well in the middle of a desolate desert, in excruciating heat, as Tafas draws water from the well. Cue a tiny glimmer of action on the far horizon, a cloud of dust and a speck emerging from the shimmering heat haze – what can it be? Lawrence is alert – could it be ‘the Turks?’
As the ominous figure comes closer into view, a transfixed Lawrence and Tafas try and make out who it is – slowly the image coming into view becomes a black figure on a camel, coming closer and closer. Before reaching them, a shot rings out and Tafas falls, dead.
As Lawrence is fixed to the ground, the mysterious black clad stranger dismounts his camel and walks over to check on Tafas.
Sherif: “He is dead”
Lawrence: “Yes. Why?”
Shreif: “This is my well”.
Lawrence had a lot to learn about Bedouin ancient tribal warfare!
James Bond No 2 (1969)
This 007 never was much of a wall flower when it comes to grand entrances, but the 1969 film “On her Majesty’s Secret Service” was an entrance everyone was on tenterhooks about, following the popularity of Sean Connery in the first five Bond films.
Now it was up to silverscreen Bond No 2, a little known Australian model George Lazenby, to step into the famous shoes.
Cue classic opening shot of Bond driving along the coast of Portugal in his Aston Martin, in the sunshine. He stops to rescue a fully clothed woman who is drowning herself in the surf, and as he carries her back to revive her, he utters the famous line, “My name’s Bond, James Bond”, so we are all crystal clear. Then, suddenly he is attacked by two men but (of course) he manages to fight them off – delivering the killer next line “This never happened to the other fellow”, sealing his place in Bond history.
The Graduate (1967)
In a classic tale of Cougar-gets-younger-man, the opening scene sees troubled, alienated college graduate Benjamin Braddock (played by a very young Dustin Hoffman) sitting in his bedroom, avoiding his own graduation party.
As he stares into the glass of a fish tank, in the frame we see the doors fling open to reveal a black-clad older woman, Mrs Robinson, who had followed him there on the flimsy excuse that she needed the bathroom.
Benjamin is not quick off the mark and says he wants to be alone, but arch cradle snatcher Mrs Robinson sets the path for her seduction of him, by insisting that he give her a lift home. The rest is indeed history – as solidified in the 1968 song by Simon & Garfunkel.

Most people like to watch their favorite movies in their home entertainment center, and half the fun of having a theater in your home is knowing that you can watch the films that you really enjoy the most at any time of day or night, 365 days a year. There’s no waiting for the film you want to see arriving in the local theater for a limited run. Any movie that you like can have an extended run right inside of that room where you like to be entertained.
But there are some folks who take the whole home entertainment thing to an entirely new dimension by making their home theaters look like the movies that they like to watch. When you show “Return of the Jedi” in your specially designed “Star Wars” themed home entertainment room, you might have a rather difficult time figuring out where the movie stops and the real world begins.
So what other kinds of themes are movie fans pursuing when they decide to deck out their viewing area with some spiffy décor that will immediately put them in the mood for the kinds of films they like most?
Bat Cave Movie Theater Theme
Some creative movie fans came up with a Bat Cave Movie Theater that features some high end home theater seats upholstered in black, shiny fabric that makes the theater immediately reminiscent of those nocturnal flying mice. It sure would be interesting to watch a chain of Batman movies in the Bat Cave theater. Some lucky individual reportedly paid a half million dollars just for the seating in his Bat Cave home movie space. All the lucky owner would need now is Alfred the butler to serve drinks and popcorn.
Opera House Theme
Another film fanatic built a home theater made to look like a turn of the century opera house that has a refreshment stand, box office and marquee, as well as some Elite home theater furniture. The theater is complete with three DVD players, a JVC projector and some high-end sound gear. It might be the perfect place to watch the Marx Brothers in “A Night at the Opera.”
Bank Theme
If you want to feel really safe and secure while watching movies, you might want to build what one movie fan constructed – a home theater with a very large bank vault, some ornate woodwork and comfortable seating, of course. What better place could there be to watch some of those old gangster movies from the 1930s, especially the ones with a bank-heist theme?
Stargate Theme
And finally we have a Stargate-themed home theater that is replete with star lighting effects and in-wall speakers. When it comes to movie fans, few are as dedicated as the ones who are science fiction fans. The Force is with them.

As video games are continuing to evolve everyday, they are more and more coming close to reality. If not reality, at least much closer to virtual reality. The future of video gaming is taking a direction where playing games can become more of a natural experience. It has already started to be recognized as a real sport in many places around the world. Electronic Sports World Cup is one such event where participation and spectatorship rival that of real-world sports and games.
Motion Controlled Video Games
Motion controlled video games were tested first in the year 2006. And, with continual research and testing in this technology, it is expected to become an important part of video games in a decade. You would be able to move your avatar on the screen by moving your arms, hands and legs. You would also be able to express emotions to other players and even the other characters in the game through facial recognition systems.
Smarter, Intelligent & Interactive Games
The video games of the future are going to be smarter. The games would be able to recognize regular players and then customize the display of their favorite games. You would also be able to view updates on your friends. As 3D gets incorporated into video games, you would be able to translate your sensitive motor actions into the 3D space through specially designed virtual gloves or other garbs.
Biometrics are in their developmental phase. But, it is expected that in a decade it would be fully mastered and it can offer you new gaming experiences. This system would match you with online players having biometric profile similar to yours. This means that you would be playing with people who also get motivated by same or at least parallel gameplay elements as you do.
Augmented Reality – Live What You Play
Another unique feature in future video games would be augmented reality. If you start a video game at home, it could be possible to continue it anywhere. You can continue it at your office, in the park or in the subway. And, this could be done through your phone or any other kind of smart device. Augmented reality can more and more make the real world a part of the game. It would bring together the real world and the virtual world.
These and other leading technologies are what are currently being tested extensively for integrating the world of video games. Other changes that are expected to come in video games are the quality aspects in terms of audio and visual features. You can already experience the degree of detailing that is there to be seen in the latest games.
A trend of launching the third installment of an important video game is in full swing. This includes some of the biggest RPG and first person shooter games the industry has ever seen, such as Far Cry, Syndicate, Battlefield, Call of Duty, Max Payne, and Mass Effect among others. Already the games have visual backgrounds and character movements which are closer to the real world. Considering the ongoing developments and what there is currently to experience in the gaming world, the future of video games is going to be something that would really be stunning when seen from the current perspective.
