Zed flicks

Obscure? How about "I Walked With A Zombie," 1943. Its a classic. And it had Sir Lancelot in it. I can see the sequel now! Zombies in King Arthur's court. Sure to be a fav among the kiddies.

Have you seen "I Zombie" ?

Meaning this? Looks great. Can't wait for it to turn up on IFC.

Me, I'm still waiting to see Zombie Honeymoon, which looks quite touching.

[DonkeyPox]

That's the one.

Zombie Honeymoon looks fun.

You stole my punch line, DP!

Equilibrium was good but Reign of Fire rocked! Sadly, I'm pretty sure thay edited out all references to zombies before the final cut. What could they have been thinking???

For your consideration: Gerard Butler in Dracula 2000! Another great movie that could only be enhanced by the addition of zombies. But let's face it, folks. Even Jurassic Park would be great with zombies, right?

Any word on Another 28 Days Later? An Additional 28 Days Later? 28 More Days Later?

no not a zombie movie unless you count all thous people without emotions as zombies

basicly its about this(you could also just klick the link ><)

Following an apocalyptic Third World War, the strict government of the dystopian city-state Libria has eliminated war by suppressing all human emotion. In the monochromatic and sedated society, artifacts from the old world (works of art and music that may evoke some emotion) are destroyed and the population is required to take sedatives. Grammaton Cleric Preston, a man trained to locate and arrest those guilty of feeling emotions, finds himself abandoning the drug and experiencing outlawed feelings. As he struggles to conceal his feelings from his superiors, colleagues, and family, Preston finds himself drawn into a sinister world of double-crossings and lies, and becomes an unwitting pawn in a sophisticated plot which ultimately changes the repressed society forever.

the thing I like about the movie the most is the gun kata

"Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically-predictable element. The Gun Kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents, while keeping the defender clear of the statistically-traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increased lethal proficiency makes the master of the Gun Katas an adversary not to be taken lightly."


Gun Kata is a fictional gun-fighting martial art discipline that is a significant part of the film. It is based upon the premise that, given the positions of the participants in a gun battle, the trajectories of fire are statistically predictable. By pure memorization of the positions, one can fire at the most likely location of an enemy without aiming at him/her in the traditional sense of pointing a gun at a specific target. By the same token, the trajectories of incoming fire are also statistically predictable, so by assuming the appropriate stance, one can keep one's body clear of the most likely path of enemy bullets.

The Gun Kata shown in Equilibrium is a hybrid mix of Kurt Wimmer's own style of Gun Kata (which he invented in his backyard) and the martial arts style of the choreographer. They disagreed on the appropriate form of Gun Kata, with Kurt Wimmer advocating a more smooth, flowing style and the choreographer supporting a more rigid style. Much of the Gun Kata seen in the movie is based on the choreographer's style (movements are rigid and rapid). Kurt Wimmer's Gun Kata is dispersed sparsely throughout the movie, most notably in the intro scene with the silhouetted man (played by Wimmer himself) practicing with dual pistols.

Trailers are appearing for "28 weeks later". I wasn't a massive fan of 28 days, but new zed flicks are thin on the ground and it looks fun.

On a completely unrelated note: www.leekspin.com/

I lost a perfectly good and well-developed fear of zombies after watching "28 Days Later." They repeated the phrase "they're infected with RAGE" so many times I began to realize that zombies can't help their condition; they're just sick.

OK, granted! Its a little more serious than a headcold. *shrugs*

[DonkeyPox]

Not much more serious.

At least when you are a zombie you always have plenty to eat, and the only things you need to worry about are bullets and axes.

If day of the dead is to be believed even alligators are relatively harmless.
