I would consider the Dawn of the dead remake the best, not 28 Days Later. The Dead is near the top of the list. I would probably rate it under the first Resident Evil as far as “the best” goes.[/quote]

I forgot about RE. Definitely top 5. Ill need to see Dawn of the Dead again.

I acquired digital copies of almost every Batman comic ever, and it’s awesome. I’ve been reading them in semi-chronological order. Just finishing the Knightfall story arc (and a few issues afterwards that detail Jean Paul going back to the order of St. Dumas), and I am even more pumped for the next movie.

The Dead

Possibly one of the most realistic zombie movies made so far. [/quote]

Buddy dropped of a copy on a flash drive and I am gonna watch it in the coming three day weekend. Will let you know how I like it. Not a big zombie movie fan but this one seems different.
I watched Splinter based on your recommendation and got a kick out of it. That one was good.

Dude, I never realized how creepy a desert could be.[/quote]

Watching it right now on my computer. First 40 minutes are excellent. Indeed very realistic and really good acting.

Edit:
SHIT! I nearly jumped out of my seat when they found that makeshift church :slight_smile:

Edit II: That was a really good movie, very well thought out. Very impressed with both lead actors as well as how the zombies were portrayed. Normally the zombies themselves annoy me but in this movie they did not. The eerie slow moving, the non blinking as well as them being mostly silent made for a very good effect.

Good story, good movie.

Could never get into the Diablo series, or the other old timies like BG2

I played them for the first time over 10 years after their release, at which point they just hurt my eyes. BG2 especially, with the tiny font walls of text.

I like Diablo ripoffs though (Titan Quest probably being the one I played the most) so I guess I’ll enjoy Diablo 3 and finally get into the Diablo craze

You remember the specific zombies more this way…which is what Romero was always griping about. He liked spending time on certain zombies to make them stand out…sort of like Dawn of the Dead with the “let’s shoot celebrity look-a-likes” scene. For instance, I liked the first one with the broken leg. His movements were perfect and it made him stand out.

just curious x, have you seen dead snow? and if so what did you think of it?[/quote]

I saw it. It kept my attention throughout, but I thought it was a little silly…plus, they weren’t really “zombies” since no one else killed came back as one.

I think it is worth seeing because of the camp flavor to it, but it wouldn’t hit the top of my list by any means.

Thanks for a new zombie movie everyone. Downloading The Dead as we speak. Has anyone checked out the Darkness 2 yet? Downloaded and installed, but haven’t had the time to play it yet.

Dude, he was awesome. Sent chills down my spine and made me put my shake down for a moment. I was totally into that scene. Like you said, very good acting all around, even the ones that had no speaking part. Most of the times zombies ‘overact’, for lack of a better word and these guys did a fantastic job. Must have been one hell of a director too.

I thought the main progatagonists turned but didn’t go evil all the other people sort of got ripped to shreds ala Capt Rhodes in Day of the Dead. I only watched Dead Snow once it was sort of a let down and Nazi Zombies was done better in Outpost with Ray Stevesnson

Okay have about 14 hours into this.

Worth the money for sure, think WOW (never played but one of my kids did), GOW, and skyrim combined. 3rd person RPG, that is also kind of a button masher fighting, with really good graphics. [/quote]

I love this game. I’m 40 hours in.

OMG…please watch Slumber Party Massacre (1982) on Netflix. I didn’t know bad movies in the 80’s showed this much T&A.
