LAND OF THE DEAD (2005). I like this, but it just doesn't resonate with Me like NIGHT, DAWN (those two will forever be in my Top 10) and DAY. It reminds Me a lot of the STAR WARS where the first three films are the keepers...the ground breaking premiere, the "Epic" sequel and a somewhat misunderstood third film, requiring a couple of viewings to get it. My wife loves Episodes 4-6, but has no patience with anything else after that. Nostalgia may play a factor or also less responsibilities.
Was very pleased when I heard George was making another Zombie film after the success of 28 DAYS LATER, DAWN OF THE DEAD reboot and SHAUN OF THE DEAD actually got him into a major studio (Universal) and some decent $$ (believe 15-20 million??).
To be honest, George was a Maverick and I enjoy the films where He didn't have a huge budget or big crew...this truly has "Too Many Cooks" and the same premise is pulled out where "The Dead walk and Man is his own worst enemy". Add to a cast of better known actors (certainly more known than the first three) and it doesn't resonate as much with Me. I even enjoyed Tom Savini's lower grade effects from earlier more than Nicotero's more advanced techniques, although Greg does pull off some good ones here. Still worth seeing and a oddly subdued Dennis Hooper (doing a Donald Rumsfeld?) is great here, especially when He bellows "You have NO RIGHT!" ***

MORTUARY 2005

A family move into an old mortuary after the father dies. The mother re-opens the business and stuff starts happening in the graveyard across from their property.

Kind of meh.

My Bloody Valentine 3D quickly completed the remake trifecta as perfected by Platinum Dunes.

- Ramp up the kill count
- Ramp up the gore
- Ramp up the douche

Add a bad case of main characteritis, sprinkle in some jump scares and one or two lame call backs to the original and boom, we're off to the races.

THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN 2014

Found- footage of a woman's descent into Alzheimer's disease. With a twist.
I enjoyed this.

A surprisingly very unmemorable film.

Well, it did manage to portray my thoughts on fireworks. ::wink::

If they made a TV show set in the "Land" universe, I'd probably watch. Seemed structured a bit like that somehow.

Have to say I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the first one.
Don't mind the critics. If you had fun with the first, you will with this also.

Damn, that cover looks like porn.

I enjoyed the first one so I’ll definitely give it a watch. Thanks.
