Land of the Dead
Land of the Dead (2005), George A. Romero:
I'm not a big zombie-head Romero cultist, but Dawn of the Dead is a great great movie (and the remake was easily one of my top movies from last year). Day of the Dead, Romero's self-proclaimed favorite, wallows a little too much in B-movie values for me, though the zombies were pretty awesome.
All the dead movies are B-movies, but only this and the last one really feel like it. It just doesn't feel like a complete movie. There are some good horror-y bits and the zombies look good, but I feel like zombie movies are all about shedding light on the nature of humanity and when the human characters (and the zombies ones, for that matter), seem half-baked, it doesn't cut it.
7/15
