• In the last two days, I've seen 5 movies.

  28 Weeks Later was a movie that I really wanted to see, since I'm such a big zombie movie buff. The beginning was reminiscent of many early zombie flicks, but as the story grew it was pretty disappointing. I know that anything with 'zombies' should fall into the horror/sci-fi category, but I like to have the story to be as realistic as possible and tragedy is a must. I don't want to see any stupid scenes where someone is in a situation where they're about to die and magically get out of that situation multiple times. One of the biggest zombie questions is why don't they feed off each other? In my mind I could probably rationalize that they would only eat fresh meat, perhaps. But this movie was retarded since the zombies will take one bite out of their prey and run away.

  Modern day zombie films never seem to satisfy. They all suck. Dawn of the Dead was good, but I believe everything else was so horribly done. A lot of these flicks have the potential and funds to be legendary films, but they don't. Not even George A. Romero's Land of The Dead was anywhere near as good as his original Night of The Living Dead, in fact it was probably one of the worst ones that I've ever seen.

  Also saw Crank, Ghost Rider, Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny, and Smoking Aces
