Ha! I've figured it out! And really it seems so obvious now. Movie Reviews!
I can use this blog to review movies. I watch enough of them.
So to kick this new found purpose off, I'll take a look at an older classic film which I just conviently finished watching.....
Night of the Living Dead
1968
It's a simple enough premise. The worlds dead rise from their graves and come back as the flesh eating zombies we have come to love. In the beginning moments of the crisis the typical hysterical blond finds safety in an abandoned house in the sticks. Before long she is accompanied by a band of survivors, who become too busy fighting amongst themselves to properly defend themselves when the inevitable zombie horde comes to eat their brains.
If you are looking for any more plot I suggest you just rent the movie. Although you won't find much more there either. But what I want to talk about is how unbelievably unrealistic this whole concept is. Even if the impossible was to happen, and zombies were to be birthed (for lack of a better term) how NOT scary is that. A bunch of slow moving brain dead humans with their only weapon being teeth. How dumb of a society would we have to be to actually let that take over the world?
If you can get over that. Oh, and did I mention it was caused by some kind of rock from space? But if you can get over that I will say the human interaction and obvious racial undertones is at least enjoyable to watch. And, if you make it to the end I promise you will enjoy the resolution of the little girls story line. Because it is pretty awesome.
And my verdict is you should watch it. (I just now decided not to grade the movies. I didn't like that is school, why should I like it now). So consider this my recommendation. See it, enjoy it and if for no other reason check out where all this zombie stuff started.
And I'll be back again with the review of another movie. Till then.....
