Deadful Melody (Subtitled)

Advantages: Excellent script, great performances, all you could want from a zom-rom-com
Disadvantages: None

...complete with no less than four DVD commentaries - from Pegg and Wright; Pegg, Frost, Moran, Ashfield and Davis; Nighy and Winton; and some of the zombie extras - all of which add something to the film itself, and provide extra laughs. Still within the film itself, there is a trivia track, which is one of my favourite features on any film that actually has one, which is sadly not enough. This gives you snippets of information about the filming process, random trivia about cast, crew and script, and inform you of things that you may otherwise miss. For example, some little pieces from the trivia track here include: 'Shaun of the Dead contains 77 uses of the f-word'; and 'Simon Pegg actually like The Stone Roses "Second Coming" album'.

Disadvantages: Brutally realistic at times,

...Here is the ultimate punk comedy, horror musical of all time. The Return Of The Living Dead is a great movie to own. It stars James Karen (The original Pathmark supermarket spokesman from years ago) It also stars Clu Gulager, Dan Calfa and Linnea Quiggley. The movie starts out with two employees who work for the Uneeda medical supply who are working all by themselves. Frank who is played by Karen asks his employee if he ever seen the movie Night Of The Living Dead. Then he goes into a short story about how the government supposedly says that even though the movie is based on the truth, that if it wasn't changed around that they would sue who ever said anything about it so, they had to lie in the movie. Frank asks Freddie if he would like to see one of the bodies that was re animated way back then. So, they both go down into... Read review
