Zombie Movie Marathon: Review

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

Before:
I actually woke up pretty on time, had some time before to wake up and prepare a bit. Was kind of late in walking over to the meeting spot. (About 15 minutes from my house.) Almost got hit by a car! Shit that kind of scared me, way to pay attention to what I’m doing. (This on ramp to the highway usually has NO CARS. EVER.) It was the combination of a hoodie, being in a rush, and the iPod. Oops. Anyway, I get to the place 15 minutes late. Kyron had been late too. Fred had been there on time and he lives farthest away. We wait for Ross….for an hour. Why do none of them have cell phones? Turns out he had gone to the theatre up the street. (The one near our school, usual meeting place.) But we weren’t at that one. He had gone back to his house to call us. (20 minutes away.) Well, it all got sorted out, but the marathon started an hour later than it should have.

It begins:
The guys are amazed by being allowed into my house and we file into the basement, stocked with food. (Well close to food, coke and chips.) (Which are all gone now.) I have an L shaped couch, but it all kind of centered in this mass cuddle in the corner. Didn’t know we where so damn cuddly! We moved around a couple times but there was always like 4 of in this mass heap. Soooo sweaty and gross. But kind of a comfortable cuddleness level among friends. :)
The Movies:
The Night of the Living Dead:
In original black and white, because that’s so much more dramatic. We basically laughed our asses off the entire way through, it’s a slow paced movie, and lots of random stuff happens. The zombies were pretty non-belivable in this one. Thus upsetting. The part we can all agree on is this little girl turning zombie, eating her dad, then stabbing her mom a good 15 times with a spade. She just looked so…cute? We’re horrible. The ending was kind of cool though. Also, after this movie ended the 5th guy showed up. A bit late, but he completed the couch. (Pretty stuffed at this point.)

Dawn of the Dead:
I’m thinking this is the best totally “zombie” movie. It fit the genre pretty well. It was also pretty well filmed, and it was nice to see color after the black and white. Basically 4 people, in a mall, during the zombie acopolypse. They loot the place, baricade the entrances, kill all the remaining zombies. (Horribly amazing fake red blood. So bright.) Lots of intresting stuff going on, damn I want to loot a mall!

(At this point we took a break for the bathroom, guys were amazed by my room of computers, and all my dads fancy computer stuff. Glad I cleaned my desk a couple days ago.)

Army of Darkness: (Evil Dead 3?)
Look, Evil Dead movies are not meant to be taken seriously. Not even the slightest bit. This is filled with horrible puns, horrible acting, horrible effects, and horrible horrible jokes. And still amazingly funny with your friends around. But if I talk more of this movie I’m going to kill myself. Actually.

28 Days Later:
I REALLY wanted to see this, for a while now. But I felt bad downloading it! Of course they had all seen it. And talked through it. “OMG I LOVE THE SCENE COMING UP. SO INTENSE.” >:O
Still an amazing movie. Hey, these descriptions are getting shorter. This was probably my favourite, also the actual scary one. We all jumped more than a few times, due to amazing surround sound. (Thank you, dad.)
So yes, definantly cool. Need to watch again, without them talking over every damn thing.

Shaun of the Dead:
To break up the scaryness, we watched the more funny one. This got the greatest “awesome” factor out of the group. It’s a pretty well rounded movie. Lots of well placed comedy. (Oh the british~) (Heh. Shorter descriptions. Getting lazier.)

Plane Dead:
Last movie of the night, this is a screener Ross got from a friend of a friend, who does movie reviews. Kind of cool? We got super sweaty and cuddly and it was almost to the point of ackward. They kept going for my boobs. Okay, well basically it’s really vicious fast moving zombies on a plane. Lots of impossible scenes, but much better than a certain other movie. That had to do with planes…and snakes…and Saumel L. Jackson.

Then it ended, we watched some TV till their folks came. I have a basement to clean tommorow. Intestines to purge.
