Intestines and You
http://www.fadedrequiem.com/resonance/2010/03/16/intestines-and-you/
From past reviews, you would notice that two of the last three were about zombies. I have no idea why that’s the case, but we may as well go with it. After this review, it will be three out of four. I do find myself now categorizing zombie films specific to the types of zombies and the perspective of the main characters. Dead Snow (Død snø) is a film that encompasses everything that is right with film. On a scholarly level it is a self aware film that revels in its homages to the genre. On an entirely different level, holy shit it has Nazi zombies, hot chicks, and an intestine fetish. The plot is fairly easy to describe, group of thirty-somethings go for vacation in an isolate snowy area that is being patrolled by undead zombies. Hilarity ensues. The group is made up…

Language Is a Disease, but Just English

Pontypool is not so much a zombie film as it is a film about zombies, or at least some horrific equivalent. I want to first start by saying that at no point did this film actually scare me. If I based my review on this simple fact, it would fall into the category of horror films that suck because they do not scare you. However, it’s not really a horror film just like it’s not really a zombie film. This independent production takes the vantage point of characters that never really get into the full blown mix of a traditional zombie film. This unique perspective allows the film to shine by demonstrating that if zombies were indeed walking the earth, there will be people not directly in the line of fire. That’s not to say this film does not feature some direct relations between…

Yum, Twinkies!
http://www.fadedrequiem.com/resonance/2009/10/16/yum-twinkies/
Aside from the fact that Zombieland is a brilliant film that works on so many levels (mostly different levels of humor rather than meaning), it made me want Twinkies. I now have an unquenchable desire to eat Twinkies, even though I despise Twinkies. Even before I go into a review of this film, I [...]
