"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. " [More]

"DIARY has that "ROMERO" feel to it, unlike Land of the dead. Loved it and cant wait for it to come out on video. HAIL the zombie God, Romero is the master of all horror. Step aside all others and let George go to the front of the line. I hope he has a few more like this! " [More]

"Romero has taken his fifth installment in the classic DEAD series back to basics. Instead of a gritty black and white indie feel (like in the original) he uses a Panasonic HDCAM and tells the story from the point of view of a modern film student. The results are mixed. This is not quite the total disappointment Land of the Dead turned out to be. GEORGE ROMERO'S DIARY OF THE DEAD is a semi-effective morality tale with some joltingly good bits of C.G.gore and little else to recommend it except that it does feel truer to the indie spirit of vintage Romero than it's predecessor. The movie tilts toward annoying in its first hour, mostly due to its stock characters and a series of head scratching events in the story. Romero does build some tension so you go with it. But DIARY OF THE DEAD never does really find its own footing as a movie. About halfway through there is a series of scenes with an Amish farmer that are both funny and bizarre which serve to illustrate the problem. Yo ... " [More]

"For someone like myself, a zombie film lover and Romero devotee, this film was a hope that the wayward Land of the Dead would not be the final chapter in Romero's zombie bible. It's a good thing then that Dawn of the Dead stands on such a high pedestal that it is unlikely to be dethroned, ever. Diary of the Dead is a major disappointment. The film definitely carries the style that seemed interesting and quirky in Martin, and was flat out unnerving in Day of the Dead. It does feel like a Romero film. Even Land of the Dead had his signature opn it, although somewhat diminished and washed off. Unfortunately that's about all this film has going for it. Romero is not the best director by far. That issue is not really open for debate. What he does well is to create a mood, a feeling, an environment that seems plausible and beleiveable. He brings horror into the real world. Diary of the Dead does attempt to do this. The college students, the cranky professor, the world gone out of control ... " [More]

"McCain campaign ad on Zombie NationThe John McCain campaign would do well to exclude certain sites from its web ad buy. Maybe the philosophy of "cast a wide net" will pay off. Maybe Mark Penn missed a micro-trend somewhere along the way--conservative Horror fanboys.The ad was probably triggered by the keywords, because the original post was about a photoshop contest on SpoutBlog to turn any of the 2008 presidential candidates into a zombie poster for a new "______ Dead" film. (The prize is a George Romero DVD 2-pack, including Diary of the Dead, and the 40th Anniversary edition of Night of the Living Dead).The first entry from [More]

"George Romero’s Diary of the Dead opens tonight. In an interview with him at Sundance, our eyes were opened to what an eloquent artist he is. We watch Night of the Living Dead to examine the origins of the zombie genre and compare it to Diary. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Karina Longworth gets personal with the loneliest movie going experience ever: Watching Build a Ship, Sail to Sadness.

"Sundance Film Festival I’ve been in Park City for 6 days now and have only been able to see a handful of films (Up the Yangtze, Diary of the Dead, Be Kind Rewind and Where In The World Is Osama Bin Ladin?). Why? Too busy being the “suit” for Spout. I’ve been purposefully skipping some of the press screenings I’ve had scheduled to make time to talk to people within the industry. And by people in the industry, I’m not talking about celebrities. I’m talking about the people who get the work done at media companies, distributors, other film festivals, etc. Not that I don’t enjoy a celebrity sighting as much as the next guy. In fact, here is the list of people I have seen so far: Oliver Stone Maroon 5 Dennis Quaid John " [More]
