Eat Me: An Invitation to a Zombienew
Local filmmaker Daniel Maldonado, 31, says that while he’s not a zombie aficionado, he has seen enough ’80s zombie cult classics and played enough Resident Evil to know in advance he could handle directing the walking dead in his first feature The Killing Strain, an independent horror film shot in south San Antonio in 2009.

Delivering the Malenew
I usually wince when a network sitcom panders to the 18-49 male demographic (see this year’s Last Man Standing, last year’s Traffic Lights). But the new Man Up hits this demographic where it hurts. It’s a brilliant satire of male pretension and pride, so painfully on target that it might drive away the very viewers it seeks to attract.

Film Review: Sennanew
You might already be burned out on movies about automobiles, what with Transformers 3, Cars 2, and Drive, among others. Forget all those. There is only one truly essential movie this year about the relationship between man and machine, and that's Senna.

Under the “Basic Information” section of Johnny Luna’s Facebook page, I can only assume the San Antonio filmmaker is being facetious when he describes himself as a “comedian, locksmith, husband, father, musician, film maker [sic]” and then goes on to admit he “suck[s] at all of them.”
