Review: The Reanimator

Okay, this one was actually pretty amusing. I mean, it was bad, yeah but still, I mean it told a story. Medical research gone too far, I liked it. Was it good, no? Would I recommend it? No. Is it better than Zombies Gone Wild? Yeah, it is. You also have to give it credit for even being made by the same guy who invented Cthulhu. *crickets* What, I can be into other creature features, they don't all have to be zombies. Seriously though, H.P. Lovecraft was a genius..... this was not however his best work.

That's it for the day, check back tomorrow. What I'm going to try and do until I'm caught up is match up, every review of a movie I'm watching with a make up review I wrote down when I didn't have internet. Sound good? Well that's too bad it's how I'm doing it anyway.

Review: Beneath Still Waters

To tell you the truth, I don't even know what to tell you about this one. Is it because I didn't watch it? No, it's because I watched it and failed to see any kind of a story in it. All of the usual things I say about these movies, I tell you a little bit about the plot, the characters, any really funny moments and there was nothing. I was taking note on this movie so I would have something to tell you about it in the review and still I don't know a single persons name. It was really that bad. Please, please don't ever watch this movie. Was it even a zombie movie? No. I think it was some sort of weird cult thing, dark magic maybe but a zombie thing, no. Terrible, absolutely terrible.

Internet

Wow, I haven't been on in forever, I've been so, so busy. My zombies though are far from forgotten. Still I'm only getting them as fast as what they can come in the mail but, I have also been watching as many full length ones as I can get from Youtube AND guess what? Netflix just recently switched around movies that they have for free so my progress is actually about to speed up. My internet is fixed so you can be expecting posts regularly. I also have two reviews for you to day, I have been writing them even though I haven't been posting them, so we, dear readers, have a lot of work to do, a lot of movies to catch up on. So, be sure to read the next blog. (enclosed is a list of new movies I don't have to wait for)


City of the Living Dead
The Dead Hate the Living
Edge of Darkness
Zombietown
Sugar Hill

Router Crash

Wow, it's like the heavens are wanting my not to write this blog. I post on here I'm going to try to update this more regularly and then my house computer crashes. No problem, I can just use my laptop. Well then I got a job house sitting for a friend of my moms, no wireless connection. So then I get home and it's like a can get on now, nothing preventing me from blogging today right? Wrong. Now our wireless router has crashed and only one person can be online at a time. Can you believe it?
Fortunately it's my turn with the internet and I am using the time not to explain to my gaming friends why I'm never on anymore but to tell you about my latest Zombie endeavors.

So, since I no longer have limited internet access I have started writing reviews down on paper as I watch the movie and can type them out later, so I can post like 6 or 7 blogs every time I get internet, not the way I would like for this to work, but certainly better than not posting at all.

Okay, so an update on the last week of zombie activity. I have blogs written up for the ReAnimator, Corpses, I Eat Your Skin and C.H.U.D., I have a list of back up reviews I need to post and in the Netflix Queue I have just gotten in Zombies on Broadway and I Was A Zombie For The FBI.

I will be back on ASAP with my reviews, so sorry for yet another inconvenience.

Movie Review: Zombies Gone Wild

I know I've been promising lately to start up the reviews again and that I'd been watching movies to review for you, but instead of posting one of my back up reviews I'm going to be a new review for a movie I just watched.

Now, Zombie Gone Wild was inappropriate, immature and frankly I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy ( actually, I might. My worst enemy was a fan of zombie strippers and may actually appreciate this as a piece of good cinematography, which btw it was not.)

Let's start with the plotline. 3 (teenage?) boys are at home jacking off with each other and one of them decides it would be great to make a zombie movie, so they head out and stumble across "real zombies" who are sexy ( and some mentally retarded) females with next to no morals who are throwing a party. At the party the females turn into zombies and start a blood bath. Then the movie get's interrupted by the hair guy and the actress playing the leading zombie finds out the leading male got paid 200 bucks while she got paid nothing and she stormed off angrily, cutting the movie short, (unfortunately not short enough.).

Character development? There was none. I just finished watching the movie 10 minutes ago and I couldn't even tell you a single persons name from it.

Zombie Accuracy: Other than getting the dead, gooey part right there was none. Zombies are walking dead, not kung fu fighting dead, not sex robots by day gross clown looking things by night then the next morning dead, really, the only similarity between this and an actual zombie was the eating of human flesh.

Now let's talk about where this movie falls in comparison to some of the others I've seen by the classic technique of a pros and cons list.

Pros: There were actually zombies in this one (which is more than I can say for Gory Gory Hallelujah). There were more zombies than what I can count on one hand ( which is more than I can say for either Skeleton Key 2 or Oh! My Zombie Mermaid). It didn't make me want to be a vegetarian ( like Poultrygiest: Night of the Chicken Dead) and I didn't fall asleep and have to finish the next morning (Beneath Still Waters). Also, for a movie that I'm assuming had no budget, the shooting of zombies was a little better than I would have expected it to be. Oh, and minimal nudity (And even some of my favorite zombie movies had to show a naked girl from a full frontal angle even when it was completely unnecessary like Zombieland.)

Cons: The special effects were extremely inconsistent and never very good, I'd say they ranged from almost decent to nonexistent. It was 110 minutes long. It easily could have been an 80 or 90 minute film and less of my time would be wasted right now. They used a red apple to be a guys intestines at one point, you could hear the zombie crunching it. There was no plot, it wasn't funny or clever, it had no point and I feel less intelligent just for watching it.

So, should you watch it? No, not if you value your brain cells.

And, my dear zombie followers, I know the blog has been going slowly lately, but if you ever doubt my loyalty to you, this blog, or this project, remember: I got home at 1:15 this morning and watched Zombies Gone Wild so that it could be in the mail by tomorrow and Hot Wax Zombies On Wheels can be on it's way, and then, even though I'm extremely tired, I came to post this blog, to give you the latest zombie news update, at 3:30 in the morning. What can I say, I love you guys.

Until next time, maybe I'll have a review from earlier or maybe another movie will have come in the mail, but remember, I'm here working round the clock for your brains..... i mean minds. Lol, jk. Seriously though, I'm a working stiff.
Love,
Cat.

ZOMBIE WALK!!!!!

Okay... let me first start by apologizing about forgetting I did this blog yet again. Still, haven't forgotten about the zombie movies, get them in the mail every week, haven't forgotten about the list, I check stuff off every week, I just forget to write about it later. Sorry.

However, I have been recently involved in a little bit of zombie culture that I feel will interest you and maybe make up for my extreme laziness. I watched the Zombie Walk, which this year in Sacramento and invaded the second saturday art exhibit. Epicness, someone went as a bride and groom zombie. This walk was for zombie-fanatics to kick off the zombie movie festival, starting with Evil Dead 2.

will make up the reviews later...... I promise-ish.

I have not been online as much (or at all) lately for those of you who haven't noticed. I have been busy with a great deal of things, ( gaming olympics, finishing school, knitting a baby blanket for Lillyana....etc.) . I know I haven't posted any reviews lately, and it may still be a while before I do. But you don't care about that, ( I'm sure you also don't care that the reason I won't be posting for a while is because I'm on vacation and left my list of movies at home) what you do care about it one simple question: Have I stopped watching the zombie movies? The answer is no, and without the time it's been taking me to do the reviews I've actually been watching more zombie movies. I will give you a better update as soon as I relocate my list, but I wanted to let you know I'm still working harder than ever on the list, because this is my year Among the undead.

I also wanted to let you know that Google ( who is one of the sponsers of this blog) is wanting me to switch this blogger account over to my other one and I am waiting to do so until the end of the year, just for you. You will being hearing back from me soon, with make up reviews for the past few months.
Love,
Cat.
