I curse thee, George Romero

What could have possessed you to put out a puddle of crud like Diary of the Dead? I'd rate the film quality on par with your average made-for-tv movie. I know a 14-year-old who can create better special effects. Why the pathetically one-dimensional set of characters? And the stupid, jumpy, MTV-ish camera work had my husband on the brink of nausea.

Kate, I didn't doubt you, but I did try to watch it against your advice. What a mistake.

Yet another movie that I found so horrendous, I couldn't make it more than 20 minutes into it. Sigh. I have much higher hopes for The Machine Girl, which is waiting for me at home along with Persepolis and 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. Hooray for foreign films!

You can't say a movie sucks if you only watched 20 minutes of it.
It may not have been another Dawn, but there were some awesome zombie kills in it.

I was disappointed by Diary also. Maybe Romero needs larger, thicker glasses to rediscover his vision.

Have you seen Fido?

Oh yeah, Fido was a hoot!

Also, I adore your Blogger profile pic. Man of vision, eh?
