I like the Dawn of the Dead remake better. I like the beginning when they have Johnny Cash's "When the Man Comes Around" playing while showing the montage of society crumbling. I also liked that they don't know why there are zombies, where as in 28 days later they are infected with monkey rage.

But who here hasn't gotten a little crazy after getting monkey bodily fliuds in there eyes

Just me?

Not just you McQueen. It gets me every time.

Both capture the sense of foreboding doom like all great zombie movies need to. I like Dawn of the Dead a bit better for many of the same reasons you cite Myers. Dawn had a better sense of humor too. 28 Days Later is still an epically awesome zombie flick though. The tunnel scene is greatness. I would fucking hate to have to change a tire in zombieland.

EDIT: Oh and Return of the Living Dead is about as good as it gets too. If anyone hasn't seen this classic, they need to.

Send...more...paramedics...

I liked both 28 days and 28 weeks later, even though the sequel had nothing to do with the original characters.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - A thriller based off the book by Stieg Larson is the story of a journalist who is hired to investigate the cold case of a missing woman who is believed to be murdered. He is helped by a young but troubled computer prodigy/hacker, but along away they find many dark secrets about the missing womans family and realize that everyone is a suspect. It's a good mystery/thriller type of movie, and the movie was made in denmark so expect there to be subtitles. If you get a chance, I would recommend reading the book to. 7/10

I'm not sure. I enjoy them both about the same...meaning I love 'em both. But if I had a gun to my head *and yes that would probably be a turn on* I'd have to pick 28 Days Later...just by a hair or so.

But you are correct about the humor of Dawn... the sniper scene from the rooftops is hilarious. Also there's a special feature on the DVD about the guy on the other roof that I love... Now I've changed my mind and I'll pick Dawn.

I remember watching that thing about Andy in the gun shop.

Sniper scene was pretty funny, so was Ty Burrell's character, he was such a dick.

The Last Airbender - 4/10

And that's being somewhat generous.

Predators- a film about a group of people who are sent to a planet, filled with Predators and their struggle to survive. Starring Adrien Brody (Splice), Laurence Fishburne (Armored), Alice Braga (Repo Men), and Topher Grace (Valentines Day). Let me start off by saying I am a very huge fan of the first Predator, and even its sequel. I fucking hate AVP and AVP 2 with a bloody red passion. Its a pleasure to say this one knocks the bad taste the AVP films left out. Its a very solid thriller, with great characters and great action. The Predators looks badass as usual, and if you are a fan of the original, you will feel pleasure at the fact that most of the musical score is the same as the first. There is even a mention of the events of the first film. Overall they got this series right back on the right track, and I'm happy to say I really enjoyed it.

8/10

Topher Grace is in it? Please tell me he dies during the course of the movie and i'll go see it.

**MrMister** · 07-09-2010, 03:24 PM

I haven't seen it yet, but I have to assume that almost everyone dies. It's a Predator movie. It's the duty of the Predator to own.
