It’s already been almost a year since Netflix ordered a second season of their zombie comedy Santa Clarita Diet, which fans are no doubt well aware of. But that new season is now close to finally arriving on the streaming service, and an official trailer for it has been released.

The show, which stars Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant, centers on a mostly normal family…which also happens to include someone who’s undead and needs to eat some human flesh from time to time. But again, mostly normal.

Netflix continues to become a dominant force in must see entertainment. This year amidst an unbelievable amount of new and fresh content, they released Santa Clarita Diet, a “biting” comedy about a real estate seller who get violently ill, and ends up a blood thirsty member of the undead. Netflix US & Canada just announced the show will get a second season coming in 2018.

Netflix has released the first trailer for Santa Clarita Diet, a new series starring Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant that offers a comedic twist on zombies.

In the show, Barrymore’s character finds herself undead. But she doesn’t look like a zombie; she looks like she’s always looked. She feels like she’s always felt—better, even! All is pretty much the same as it’s always been…except for her eating habits. Now all she wants to eat is other people.

The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon lifted the spirits of Seahawks fans, while filling the proud hearts of Patriots fans, with an awesome post-Super Bowl live episode from Phoenix, Arizona near the big game that included two of his best bits: the lip sync battle and a capella. Watch both segments here below, along with other highlights from the show.

Fallon’s epic lip sync battle was between Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, and of course, himself. Ferrell came out with Beyonce’s “Drunk in Love” complete with dance moves, followed by Fallon’s lip-syncing Kelly Clarkson’s “Since You Been Gone.” Kevin Hart did a moving “All of Me” by John Legend, crooning to Will Ferrell, who tried to move in for a kiss.

In anticipation of its long-awaited release on Blu-ray next month Steven Spielberg‘s timeless masterpiece E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial will be returning to theaters for a limited engagement….a very limited engagement. Okay, it’s one day.

That’s right, Universal Pictures, in cooperation with NCM Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies, is bringing E.T. back to the big screen on Wednesday, October 3, 2012 at 7 pm with special matinee screenings in select theaters at 2 p.m local time the same day.

Although 2012 is the year that the world comes to an end, studios are still planning for films to be released many years after. It’s always good to have a back-up plan, you know, just in case the apocalypse doesn’t happen. Joking aside, Warner Bros. would like to get into the world-ending business by giving Drew Barrymore the job of directing a film simply titled The End.

The Hollywood Reporter says the film will focus on how several people spend their last day on Earth. But rather than take a comedic approach like Seeking A Friend for the End of The World and Edgar Wright’s upcoming World’s End or an action approach like Roland Emmerich’s 2012, The End will be “uplifting and humanistic rather than a downer, a meditation not on death but on life.” Characters in the film will range from “a sixtysomething radio personality in London intent on broadcasting until the end, a father trying to make it through the chaos in Tokyo to reach his wife and baby and a teenage couple in the American Midwest being pulled in different directions by their families.”

I can think of no better way to commemorate Labor Day weekend then by seeing a movie about an American on vacation in Italy being contracted to do someone’s dirty work; a Mexican on a mission in Arizona being contracted to do someone’s dirty work; or a long distance romantic comedy… about a couple being contracted to do someone’s dirty work (please let it be about that).

Well, I have no doubt what I’m going to be seeing this weekend. Here’s a hint: Tom Savini is in it. What about you?

The three big movies of the week are: The American, Going the Distance, and Machete.

“All right, let’s show ’em what we got, guys! Get out there on the ice and let ’em know you’re there. Get that fuckin’ stick in their side. Let ’em know you’re there! Get that lumber in his teeth. Let ’em know you’re there!”
— Reggie Dunlop from Slap Shot

“Well, put on some skates and be your own hero.”
— Maggie Mayhem from Whip It

The sonic fury of a film’s soundtrack is integral to its lasting presence. The soundtrack to Drew Barrymore‘s Whip It is a furiously beautiful compliment to this potent and rousing coming of age film. Barrymore understands the importance of a film’s soundtrack. She understands how vital the musical component is to the film. All one has to do is read her note that she wrote for the soundtrack album:

“Music is the soundtrack to our lives, and when you put music and film together, it is a powerful combination.”

“This soundtrack is my mix tape for you.”

Drew Barrymore gets it. She understands the relationship between music and film. While watching the film, I would crack a smile as songs by The Breeders, Tilly And The Wall, The Ramones, The Chordettes, Dolly Parton, Peaches, and many others would blare out during the film’s many magical and cathartic moments. A good soundtrack is essentially an awesome mix tape. Drew Barrymore understands this all too well for her directorial debut.
