George Romero's Diary of the Dead (2007)

Diary of the dead was only my second Zombie movie, and I wasn't dissapointed at all. I thought it was interesting how Romero was portraying the film like an accidental documentary. The beginning was well done, it set the stage for the rest of the movie. The only thing that I didn't fully appreciate was how abrupt the ending was.

9 (2009)

9 was an animated film intended and advertized for adults. However, I found the movie more suited for a younger audience, prehaps a more young-adult audience (This is why I think the movie was appropriately rate PG-13) The Character's and storyline were obvious & straightforward, which was refreshing. Acker did a good job portraying an interesting and evolving post-apocolyptica. However, I found the ending a little stilted, uncomfortable, & brief. All in all, Elijah Wood gave a stunning vocal performance, and I found the movie very Tim-Burton-Esk, as he (Burton) was appropriately one of the many producers.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1988)

I grew up reading C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia books, and watching the visual portrayal by the BBC as a child truly brought the books to life. I cannot deny that the new movies by Disney weren't a bit of a disapointment... watching this movie again, and seeing how true to the book that the BBC remained was truley heartwarming.

Intellectual zombies?

Land of the Dead (2005)

This was my very first zombie movie, and I was a little surprised;
I was expecting a lot more of the “un-expected”. According to my friend Robby, this isn’t a typical zombie movie- in this film, the zombies have the ability to learn and evolve. I found the story line predictable, and it appeared to me that the zombies (although they feasted on human flesh and were the walking dead,) were more of an interesting character study then the actual leading characters in the movie. My favorite scene was when John Leguinzamo's character killed the main greed-addled opportunist guy. All in all, it wasn’t bad; I enjoyed it.
