28 Days Later

Nope, didn't like it.

It seemed like the camera techniques were trying to be artsy just for the sake of being artsy. It was a bit gorey but not quite *that* gorey. It was a bit cheezy but not quite *that* cheezy. It made me jump once but wasn't *that* much like a thriller. It had a message in there I guess but didn't put a point to it (like yeah, people are violent/nuts and we all do ourselves in - duh).

We walked out of the theater and B mentioned feeling similar to when we saw Gangs of New York - not really knowing what to think of it. I LOVED Gangs of New York, this one - I'm bummed I used up my free movie passes on it (I didn't even have to pay and was disappointed).

The Boston Phoenix had a review which I guess sums up my take on it: here

I'll just get back to thinking of Johnny Depp and all will be OK :)

yeouch! free passes and it wasn't worth the money you spent? good to know :)

and i completely agree with you on Gangs of New York. i loved it. but yeah, you just don't quite know what to make of it.

Glad I didn't pay for it either...

Only message I got was that we're just as bad, if not worse than the "infected".

I loved the Phoenix review's comparison to the 28 day menstrual cycle tho. *heh*

Huh that's odd. Shadow and I have a region free DVD player and rather than pay the money to see it in the theaters we bought the British DVD. And we loved it. Maybe they hacked the american version? Or maybe Shadow and I have different tastes in Zombie flix.

Of course when I go to see a zombie flick i put myself in the zombie movie mental state. I thought it was a very good movie, for a zombie flick.
