Kill A Zombie With A Frying Pan?...No Problems

Advantages: Good "Zom-Com"
Disadvantages: May Be Too Gory For Some

I have always been a huge fan of zombie films and who doesn't love a good comedy? So with little expectations of cinematic genius and more hope for a lighthearted giggle, I headed to the cinema to see Zombieland. Based in a world where mad cow disease has mutated and effected the mass populous, zombies are running wild in the USA and there are few who have managed to escape being infected or eaten alive. "Columbus" is one of the lucky few, with his ...
...he isn't turned into one of the undead. He is joined by Tallahassee, Wichita and Little Rock along the way and the story follows the 4 as they try to survive and head for a theme park for a bit of normality during a zombie apocalypse...as you obviously would! "Tallahassee" played by Woody Harrelson is the tough guy who is the perfect balance to Jesse Eisenberg's character "Columbus" who is geeky and basically a little bit of a nerd. Emma Stone plays ...

Now you see him.....

Advantages: Cinematography, acting
Disadvantages: Nothing special

Hollow Man is a entertaining that threatens an element of horror without taking it too seriously. With a selection of well-known actors giving good performances, it approaches molecular biology from an experimental and hormonal point of view, and gives what is quite a frenetic and intense hour and a half. Sebastian Caine is an incredibly gifted molecular biologist, obsessed with trying to perfect the development of complete invisibility. When it ...
...to explore the possibilities of it being used on humans, and puts himself forward as the guinea pig. However, he hasn't banked on the hormonal and behavioural side effects of the experiment, and things start to get out of hand. The special effects are top notch in this film, with the appearance of the invisibility around things such as water and smoke being very well delivered. The same thing goes for the various outfits worn by Caine once he is ...

The devil's chair

Advantages: Lots of twists and keeps you guessing to the last minute
Disadvantages: can be a little confusing, all in all a good film

...wants to find the truth behind the murder. This film is as gruesome as saw. It has lots and lots of twists. The doctor seems to have other motives for taking them all back there, he wants to summon the monster to our world but it needs sacrifices. This is the real reason we are led to believe for them all being there. The chair is a wooden contraption with handcuffs and drills that go through the juggler vien, it takes you to another dimenson, where ...

A must have for die hard resi fans

Advantages: Easy to relate from playing the games, graphics, actions sequences
Disadvantages: No sign of a sequel

...What encompasses the words resident evil for me are atmosphere, suspense, fear, action and above all capping loads of zombies. This film does all of that with characters that you have played with before, Leon S Kennedy and Claire Redfield, which is why you feel more at home watching this. There was nothing worse than watching the average portrayal of resident evil by Alexander Witt & co and feeling that it doesnt need much changing, why tamper with ...
...with this, especially the blu ray version. Awesome. Graphics are amazing and the matrix like slow down action sequences are breathtaking. With this purchase you know what youre gonna get, a film similar to the games that uses all that has been successful in the past. Loads of special features including a made up blooper reel, trailer for resi 5 and character profiles ...

I don't recommend going out alone after this...

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: The beginning is a bit slow

... Story Quarantine is a remake of [Rec] (2007). Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) opens the film shooting her opening part for the news. Angela and her filming partner Scott Percival (Steve Harris) show us around the fire station. We follow them as they travel around with two firefighters (Fletcher (Johnathon Schaech) and Jake (Jay Hernandez) as they go out on a call. They arrive at a building and little do they know the horros contained within ...
...Days & Weeks Later) but Quarantine brings a new threat along with it. Before we never really saw how the virus would develop and the affect it would have. This time, we see how the infection spreads within a short space of time and how people easily loose their sanity. I felt this had a deeper impact than the three movies I've mentioned and the horror wasn't overdone to the point where it would become cheesy. The only thing about this film that is ...
