Zombie Movies

I must be becoming a gamer. I have been looking up maps and codes online to learn how to play the game better. As I am writing this I keep looking at the game console and then at the clock and then back at the console. It is 12:21 AM and I am considering playing a little more, but I know that I have a very long day ahead tomorrow and should go to bed.

Run Fatboy Run.  He play a guy who decides to run a marathon to impress his ex.  He was the star of Shaun of the Dead, which is one of my favorite zombie comedies.  I read today that he is going to be playing Scotty is the upcoming Star Trek film and just finished shooting for the film last week.  I am not a big Star Trek guy, but I am starting to get interested in this film.  Are there any Trekkies out there?

The Invasion, The Brave One, Eastern Promises, and Lost today. Sayid was on killing spree this week.    We know that he has gotten off of the island, but what is he doing? 

     The Invasion was interesting.  A zombie film without zombies.  Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets War of the Worlds with a Shaun of the Dead ending. 

     The Brave One was a good film and it had Naveen Andrews from Lost in it.  Jodie Foster has definitely developed a pattern for taking roles of a strong female with no romantic interest in the film.  She gets close in this one, but Andrews character dies so early in the film.  I thought the best thing about the film was Terrence Howard’s character.  Howard is a detective investigating the murders perpetrated by Foster’s character.  Howard is a great actor with an amazing range.

      I just popped Blade Runner into the DVD player.  I hope to get it in before Sydnie gets home.  She doesn’t really like this genre.

      So what did you guys think about this week’s episode of Lost?  Did you pick up any new clues?  Have any good theories?

went to see I Am Legend this afternoon.  I have heard mixed reviews about the film and read that while it was a good film it wasn’t a great adaptation of Richard Matheson’s book.  While there were no vampires as in Matheson’s book, the zombie-like cannibals were scary.  I really enjoy zombie movies with pleasure since my dad brought home Night of the Living Dead when I was a child of about 7; we watched a lot of non-traditional children’s films.  I am pretty sure my dad liked to watch of flinch.  He would later take joy in seeing us scream by pulling a round tube around the lake in a jagged manner that would cause us to skip across the water like a flat rock on a pond. 

    The movie does have an element neo-Christian element to it in Robert Neville, played by Will Smith.  Ever since I had a dream of being locked inside of a mall by myself I have enjoyed movies where characters find themselves alone with all the toys, cars, and food to himself.  No line at any check out.  Excellent.  This was a good film and I would recommend it without hesitation.

     On a final note, I went to see the movie at the AMC by the Promenade.  After the film I hustled along to the restroom, like most other viewers, only to find the bathrooms a wreck.  Disgusting.  I think dirty bathrooms are a tipping point for any business and area to go downhill.  Keep your bathrooms clean please and thank you my good sirs.
