Uh-oooh nooo this wasn’t a good idea, George!

Title:	Diary of the Dead
Director:	George Romero
Score:	2/5
Shaky cam:	Can we kill it?

Guess I spoke too soon.  This is good.  Not quite Dawn, but good. Good job, Georgie baby. 

Title:	Land of the Dead
Director:	George Romero
Score:	5/6
Top kill:	The bridge scene.

Hey, I know that guy…

The last of the Dead-films that I’ve seen before.  Not as good as Dawn.  Maybe Dawn was the peak?  Not bad, as peaks go!

Title:	Day of the Dead
Director:	George Romero
Score:	4/6
High point:	The shovel scene.

Maybe it wasn’t sucha great idea to award Night a full two bonus points…  As good as it was, Dawn is clearly much better.  So now there’s nowhere for the score to go..  Unless…..

Title:	Dawn of the Dead
Director:	George Romero
Score:	7/6
In a word:	Fantastic! A Masterpiece!  A True Classic!

Oh now what is this?  Could it be…. Another film series binge!?

Title:	Night of the Living Dead
Director:	George Romero
Score:	6/6
Bonus point for:	Birthing the modern zombie genre (yes, yes, I know about White Zombie etc. — I’ve said what I mean!)

LOL.  What a silly cheap movie.  Still, lots of commentary on modern society.  And some gore. 

And remember:

“Chicken is a dish best served cold.”

Title:	Die Gstettensaga: The Rise of Echsenfriedl
Director:	Johannes Grenzfurthner
Score:	4/6
Bonus point for:	Awesomest opening credits.

Not too awful, as window movies go, if you disregard the first half hour were all the aliens were speaking alienese so I couldn’t get any work done.

Title:	John Carter
Director:	Andrew Stanton
Score:	3/7
Best monster:	Flaccid penis dog.

Properly thrilling and mysterious. A non-scifi-scifi just the way I like it.

Title:	The Signal
Director:	William Eubank
Score:	5/6
Fishburne:	He can be really cool when he’s not on CSI.

I don’t think I would’ve guessed it was Cronenberg, but I can tell once I’ve been told. Very pretty film. And I think it brings some… oh, I don’t know, let’s say conceptual background, to his later films.

Title:	Stereo
Director:	David Cronenberg
Score:	3/5
Adjective:	Visual..

Saturday night is family movie night.

Title:	Transformers: Revenge of the fallen
Director:	Michael Bay
Score:	1082 + 8200 + 1 zilliard
Dad thinks:	Action good. Plot meh.
