Not the worst waste of time I’ve ever had.

Title:	All Together Now
Director:	Jonathan Glazer
Score:	3/6
Crush:	Whoever was playing John’s mum.

Disturbing. And sexy.

Title:	Under the Skin
Director:	Jonathan Glazer
Score:	5/6
Actor confusion:	Cured!

Proper, actual science fiction, for once.

Title:	Transcendence
Director:	Wally Pfister
Score:	4/6
Actor confusion:	I thought Evelyn was Scarlett Johansson for a full hour.

Jamelicious. What do you prefer?  Jam or marmelade?  Marmelicious.  I like jam.  But not apple jam.  Not beatle jam either. I almost never have jam.  I like ham.

Title:	Let it Be
Director:	Michael Lindsay-Hogg
Score:	3/5
Best song:	Mmmm… Hammm…

I’m making it official: There’s No 666 In Outer Space by Hella is the greatest album ever made. What The Strokes would sound like if they were put in a blender with Captain Beefheart.  Get it at Bandcamp.  

 

Title:	X-Men: Days of Future Past
Director:	Bryan Singer
Score:	5/6
Coolest superhero:	Quicksilver

I was expecting a horrible zombie film, but this is a non-horrible western (with zombies (and irishmen)).

It’s not good, but not horrible either.

 

Title:	Survival of the Dead
Director:	George Romero
Score:	3/5
Summary:	See below

In 2014 money.

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!
