Romero<br /><br />Day of the Dead, the third and concluding chapter in <a href="http://www.blockbuster.com/catalog/personDetails/96245">George Romero</a>'s zombie trilogy is the most distinctly 1950s-style science fiction version of the lot. Set in Florida, as the film begins the dead have taken over the world, outnumbering humans 400,000 to one. The handful of surviving humans have taken refuge in an underground missile silo and argue and yell at each other like players in a Rod Serling <a href="http://www.blockbuster.com/catalog/movieDetails/90952">Twilight Zone</a> episode. Among the survivors are Sarah (<a href="http://www.blockbuster.com/catalog/personDetails/9644">Lori Cardille</a>) -- a scientist who is trying to reverse the process whereby the dead turn into flesh-eating, irrational zombies -- and Dr. Logan (<a href="http://www.blockbuster.com/catalog/personDetails/111064">Richard Liberty</a>) -- an out-of-his-mind psychologist who wants to capture the zombies and turn them into domestic help. Things heat up when the military tries to take over the scientific experiments.<br /><br /><br />Zed Headhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02962867984388610597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855191983361752494.post-14389242381190547522009-03-05T19:54:00.000-08:002009-03-05T20:02:33.641-08:00March FlickAll right boys, here's the next pick<br /><br />Flesh Eating Mothers (1989)<br />"This bizarre horror satire involves a rabies-like virus which is spread by a philandering fellow to several harried housewives in the same suburban community, turning them into savage cannibals. That's it for the setup -- what remains is a series of outrageously gory scenes in which the maniacal mommies begin hacking up, cooking, and eating everyone in sight, including local police, stray cats, their loutish husbands, and even their own children. It's up to a few surviving kids to unite against the neighborhood menace and join forces with a doctor to come up with a cure for their mothers' l<br />lethal affliction."<br /><br />As a huge fan of Dead Alive, I have high hopes and expectations.

The trailer may be more easily viewed on youtube. <br /><br /><object width="425" height="264"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3-KQh87_V2Q&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3-KQh87_V2Q&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="264"></embed></object> <br /><br />To explain, the misguided choice of Zombie Lake was driven by Dead Snow's non-availability from Netflix. Zombie Lake, at the very least, provided the requisite fix for zombies and <a href="http://barbie.everythinggirl.com/activities/fantasy/princess/princess_dressup/" target="_blank">Nazis</a>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855191983361752494.post-23974091375553685972009-02-18T20:07:00.000-08:002009-02-18T21:13:41.375-08:00Zombie Stripper Nazis<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">February is double feature month for The Fresh Brains club, so here we go...</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Zombie Lake (1980) Le Lac des morts vivants<br /></p> <p>“During World War II, a group of villagers ambushed and defeated a band of German soldiers and threw their bodies in the nearby lake. Now, the <a href="http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/"> Nazis</a> have returned as angry zombies, preying on unsuspecting teenage female swimmers and skinny-dippers. The town mayor (Howard Vernon) doesn't know what to do, but a young girl may hold a crucial secret. Cult director Jean Rollin (The Naked Vampire) helmed this infamous horror film.”</p> <p>With a lead like that and a <a href="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm316316928/tt0081027"> poster</a> that is a work of true zombie art, my expectations were high. That the first full seven minutes of this film are nothing but a naked woman futzing about in a lake bolstered my confidence. The first appearance of the “zombies”, however, revealed this shit stuffed rotting donkey carcass of a movie for what it really was, an abomination against God and everything Night of the Living Dead stands for. There's B-movie bad, so-bad-it's-good bad, there's unwatchable mess bad (ala <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Sweetback%27s_Baadasssss_Song">Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song</a>), and now there's Zombie Lake fucking awful. There's makeup falling off zombies, underwater scenes shot in what appears to be an above ground pool, horrific dubbing, and gore that goes little beyond ketchup packets and munching noises. There's a plot, I suppose, revolving around the “head” “zombie”, who, before becoming a zombie (no clear details on the particulars), bones a local <a href="http://www.tiff07.ca/images/films2007/704201741481344.jpg">French woman</a>, she gets pregnant, and the daughter plays an integral role in the destruction of the zombies, I guess. I can't be much more specific. I fast forwarded through most of it. That said, Boobs. In addition to the opening sequence, a soccer team of women pile out of a bus, strip, frolic, and are promptly munched to death. Also, there is a gratuitously long scene wherein the chief pre-zombie Nazi bones the chick to produce the offspring who will eventually bring about his doom. I guess that's irony.</p> <p><br />Overall: WTF?!?!/5 brains<br />Acting: brick/5 brains<br />Plot: 0/5 brains<br />Gore: ketchup/5 brains<br />Boobs:4/5 brains</p> <p>Zombie Strippers (2008), "Zombies, shit."<br /></p> <p>This stunningly brilliant piece of cinema belongs in the pantheon of motion pictures.

Awesome fucking zombies. Look, there's this plot and stuff happens. None of that matters. The first half of the movie is pretty much strippers dancing. They become zombies. The second half of the movie is those same strippers dancing, and now they're zombies. The action crescendos to a glorious climax when the pair of alpha zombie strippers square off in a battle royal featuring techniques typically reserved for Thailand. The gore is abundant and beautiful. The film weaves a tangled web of plot and drama that draws you in and holds you tight. You can practically smell the stripper vanilla. I laughed, I cried, I saw the zombie soul laid bare. When (not if) <a href="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0cehaSH2aw8JF/340x.jpg"> Ms. Jameson deservedly wins her Oscar</a>, the clips they show will all come from Zombie Strippers.</p><p><br />Overall: 4.9/5 fresh brains<br />Acting: 4.9/5 fresh brains<br />Plot: 4.9/5 fresh brains<br />Gore: 4.9/5 fresh brains<br />Boobs: Boner/5 Zombie boners </p> <p>Sorry this got long.

We will deal with his tardiness later, but we need to get back on track. DJBJ, you're up for February. Let's get moving.<br /><br /><br />Well, as you can see, I'm not the best blogger. Here is what I can come up with...please post for me...no record of gmail can be found. As I say, I'm just not a blogger. Synopsis:Astronauts find an alien spaceship in outer space with the 3 lifeforms in cryogenic lock. Taking the lifeforms back to merry ol' England the aliens do considerable damage on the local population....millons are turned into zombies. Proving that love conquers all the human astronaut joins spirits with the evil alien/vampire to bring about both of their destruction.<br /><br />Character flaws:The lead male character might be too horny...the girl he keeps going after is turning the entire English countryside into zombies...talk about having baggage. Zombie defense moves:If you ever riding a helicopotor with Captain Jean Luc Picard of the Star Trek Enterprise and he starts turning into a zombie...consider jumping out of the helicopter as your defense.<br /><br />Personal Comments:Reasons why Lifeforce (1985) directed by Tobe Hooper is awesome:<br /><br />1. The she-alien vampire is hot and is naked most of the movie.<br />2. Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Star Trek Enterprise is in this movie.<br />3. It expands the zombie family tree This movie transcends cinema genres...horror, drama, romance, soft-core porn...and within the horror genre it crosses subgenres...aliens, vampires, zombies, soft-core porn...which makes a movie a like this have something for everyone. <br /><br />HOWEVER, that being said, we are members of the esteemed "Fresh Brains Club". Not the "Bloody Fangs Club" or the "It came from outer space" club. So, to a point, is Lifeforce a Zombie movie? Humanoids do roam the steets of England in a similar manner as traditional zombies (i.e., generally mindless, various degrees of speed, hungry for flesh), but are the Lifeforce "zombies" really "zombies". Or are they lifeless vampire humanoids...and does that quailfy? Without splitting hairs, I would argue that it does qualify as a zombie movie, as well as a alien movie, and as a vampire movie. If this movie were reality and a movie like "Night of the Living Dead" was reality and the "zombies" from each were to cross paths with eachother I do not believe they would attack eachother because they would recognize eachother as zombie-kin...maybe not as close as brothers, but possibly as cousins. I hope you all enjoyed this different film with a zombie flair. I know I did.<br /><br />Ratings:<br />Overall: 3/5 brains<br />Acting:3/5 brains<br />Plot: 4/5 brains<br />Gore:3/5 brains<br />Boobs:5/5 brainsBud the CHUDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08590536156284913868noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855191983361752494.post-90251897327044234022009-01-05T10:22:00.000-08:002009-01-05T10:23:05.767-08:00New MoviesJust wanted to let everyone know that I received two new movies over the holidays, <em>Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane </em>and <em>Dead & Breakfast</em>.

Regardless, at some point in time a group of people escape Mantool and naturally set sail for New York. They eat the shit out of a lot of canned goods and packaged goodies until one zombie (who may or may not have been fat beforehand) eats them all, hibernates in a closet, and is eventually awoken by an unsuspecting NYPD/French Navy cop searching the boat for survivors. Oh, and the boat does some phenomenal maneuvering for being manned by the undead, so I guess we really have to respect zombie seamanship. <br /><br />After the initial scene, Peter North and a ginger named Anne decide to search for her missing father (owner of the zombie boat) and immediately embark for Mantool. Since the island is small and evidently uncharted, they meet up with a stoner named Brian and his scantily clad girlfriend, Susan, who happen to be vacationing in the area. The trip doesn’t get off to a great start and takes a turn for the worse after a pissed off great white shark, fresh from a skirmish with an underwater zombie, runs into the boat and severely damages the “drive train.” <br /><br />Incapable of repairing the boat themselves, the group heads to shore on Mantool and meets up with Doctor Menard, the local white doctor, who relays most of the background information on the island, the zombie outbreak, and the demise of Anne’s father. The background is as follows: natives drum, people get sick, they are taken to the church/hospital/laboratory, they die, Dr Menard and his assistant wrap them in sheets and wait, the bodies reanimate, Dr Menard grimaces for a few seconds before shooting them in the head wild west gunfight style. This scenario has evidently played out numerous times prior to Anne & Co’s arrival, but it seems there are just too many zombies to handle now. <br /><br />Menard sends the gange to visit his wife, Paola, while he attends to matters in the church. However, upon their arrival at the good doctor’s house, they witness a zombie blood orgy involving Paola’s mutilated body. Disgusted, they decide to head back to the church but get sidetracked after running into a tree. They do, however, have time to make out in an old cemetery, which has immediate and terrible consequences. Previous to this point, we are led to believe that the zombies have been the reanimated corpses of the recently deceased, but here the dead begin rising from the grave. Really old graves. Conquistador old. 1888. <br /><br />The group, now minus Susan, makes it back to the church to make their final stand against the rapidly growing zombie horde, yet somehow manage to make it out the back door without setting themselves on fire. The doctor dies after being bitten in the face. Brian gets bit by his zombie girlfriend. Menard’s nurse stares at a zombie for a really long time, then dies. Peter and Anne escape to their boat to make their way back to New York. And all appears to be well until they turn the bridge-to-bridge radio to the local New York news station and learn that the city has been overrun by the living dead. The movie ends with zombies walking towards Manhattan on the Brooklyn Bridge, average mid-day bridge traffic below them. <br /><br /><br /><u>Comments/Questions:</u><br />Did the zombie in the coroner’s office morgue get a boner? Or was that just me?<br /><br />These were perhaps the slowest moving zombies of all time, at least in any movie I’ve seen. But they did pack a pretty devastating coordinated spin move, which proved capable of knocking down the church’s reinforced door. Oh, and they moved pretty quickly when going in for a bite.<br /><br />I’m certainly no medical expert, and will certainly defer to the Pig. But if you’ve been dead for a while, you’re probably not going to be doing a lot of bleeding. Or for that matter breathing. Although I did like the peeping-tom camera angles combined with the heavy breathing. It’s reassuring knowing that even the undead can appreciate a good boob scene. <br /><br />Where were the natives? There were making a lot of noise but we never got to see them? Are they hideous? Hispanic? Were they drumming for or against the zombies? Zombie cadence? <br /><br />Zombie vs shark: most amazing zombie scene ever? I think so. What was the zombie’s motivation? Jealousy? Hunger? Berserker rage? Boner? If a zombie will try to eat a shark, why would it not try to eat a goat? Or a donkee? I loved that the zombie was just hanging out in the reef waiting, just on the off chance that some babe worth eating would stroll through. I would be very interested to know how that scene was filmed. Question for the divers: if you have boobs, do you not need a BCD? <br /><br />Peter West: although it’s not obvious until the final scene, you really must admire the man’s comb-over. There just aren’t enough movie headliner comb-overs these days. Bravo, Ian McCulluch.<br /><br /><u>Defense Moves/Lessons:</u><br />Never make out in a cemetery. Ever. I’m not entirely sure that the attempted kiss was the direct cause of the dead rising from the grave, but it would make sense. And really, it’s just poor form. Don’t be that guy. Those were some remarkably well preserved zombies though, especially given the island’s climate And I must admit I lost a lot of respect for the conquistadors, those dudes were pretty fucking lazy with their grave digging. I mean, they could have at least dug down two feet. Sloppy.<br /><br />If your dead girlfriend is staring at you with someone else’s blood dripping from her chin, feel free to bash her skull in. <br /><br />Head shots. How many ineffectual body shots would you take before you’d get the message that only a head shot kills? <br /><br />You will not win a staring contest with a zombie. Please do not attempt to do so.<br /><br />If you haven’t done so already, be sure to own a gun that never needs to be reloaded and/or have unlimited ammunition. These people must have had the cheat code from Contra, because I don’t recall seeing a single reload. Oh, and if you have a bolt-action rifle, switch it to semi-automatic. It’s a lot more effective that way.<br /><br />If you’ve chosen a wooden structure to make your final stand, consider dropping Molotov cocktails to the bottom of your weapon preferences. <br /><br /><u>Ratings:</u><br /><br />Plot – 3.8 <br /><br />Plots are not typically the strongpoint of the zombie flick, and this one is no different. I think my plot synopsis pretty much covers this section.<br /><br />Acting – 3.1<br /><br />I watched it in Italian with English sub-titles, yet at times I felt like the actors were actually speaking English. At other times, they were definitely speaking Italian. So I have no idea what the hell was going on with that. Vai al diavolo. Overall, the non-zombie acting was pretty horrific. I would be interested to know if anyone besides Peter McCulloch ever acted again, and at least he was being held back by his comb-over. On the other hand, I thought the zombie acting was pretty good. They were emotionless and slow, lulling their victims into a false sense of security before striking quickly with their teeth. I could have used some more groaning though. And the scene of the zombies throwing themselves at the church doorway was quite comical. Why were they spinning so much? They looked like a pack of crocodiles. And if there was actually a guy dressed up like a zombie fighting a real shark… well, that’s just fucking awesome.<br /><br />Gore – 5.0<br /><br />It was 1980, so the special effects do no hold up completely to today’s standards. But based on the shark scene and Paola’s exenteration alone, this movie deserves a 5. The Paola meat banquet scene was also rather nice, with zombies feasting on her appendages like a Thanksgiving dinner. They seemed to be taking their time, savoring the taste, vice the feeding frenzies seen in most other zombie movies. These zombies were much more civil than Romero’s, at least amongst themselves. Additionally, there were several scenes Fulci had to cut out in order to release the film, yet it still managed to be a pretty gruesome gore flick. Include these scenes, and this is a certifiable 5 Severed Legs. <br /><br />Boobs: 3.8<br /><br />Kudos for the topless diving scene. That is the first of its kind I’ve viewed and I’m definitely a fan. Two sets of boobs, both smallish but nice. Both scenes were tastefully done, with excellent use of camera angles and well placed mirrors. I guess I would have liked to see Anne’s as well, and it could have easily been accomplished during the boat scene at the dock. I think the cop would have been more likely to let them go if she had shown some boobage. Then he could have gone back to his car and listened to some more rocking saxophone solos. But alas, she probably didn’t have to do it because she’s Mia Farrow’s sister.<br /><br />Overall – 4.1 <br /><br />Overall a good zombie movie and while at first viewing I wouldn’t put Fulci on the same level as Romero, at least he didn’t make Diary of the Dead. Anyways, the plot was so-so, the acting was sub-par, but the gore was superb, especially given the 1979 film date. I know we haven’t ranked it yet, but I’d put this movie on equal terms with the original Dawn of the Dead.

While at <a href="http://www.buffalowildwings.com/">BW3's</a>, I was rapidly introduced to a series of people who's names I wouldn't remember. Of note was the one guy with glasses, camel hair coat, and long hair. I extended my hand in greeting and he pointed to his eye saying, "sorry, pink eye." Huh? "yeah, you know,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunctivitis">conjunctivitis</a>." Scott Baio was no where to be seen. But what does this have to do with zombies? Note the most obvious symptom of the dreaded <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Pink_eye.jpg">pink eye</a>.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Tql_JK7-Kro/SS73brhegbI/AAAAAAAAAH8/A3tW1JufS54/s1600-h/Pink_eye.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 197px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Tql_JK7-Kro/SS73brhegbI/AAAAAAAAAH8/A3tW1JufS54/s320/Pink_eye.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273424268609094066" border="0" /></a>This guy was showing the first signs of turning!!! I'm not familiar with the literature, but do people turn more slowly during the earlier stages of an outbreak? Could it be the initial onset of symptoms is so gradual that they go unnoticed? Will he be craving leftover stuffing and brains? If the infection starts in Ohio, I fear it will be hard to tell the infected from normal Ohioans.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855191983361752494.post-59462130348203973242008-11-27T08:43:00.000-08:002008-11-30T11:10:55.264-08:00iamnotinfected.comLet me start this post off by saying Happy Thanksgiving.<br /><br />And then let me say that it's amazing what you'll come across when you google "zombie boobs"<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0B2Pv_5a0iI/SS7Vhf95a5I/AAAAAAAABAE/H8DWMxxQrSs/s1600-h/Picture+5.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 130px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0B2Pv_5a0iI/SS7Vhf95a5I/AAAAAAAABAE/H8DWMxxQrSs/s400/Picture+5.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273386985190943634" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I was directed to iamnotinfected.com. Even though it sounds like an HIV site (more on that later), it's actually a really good amateur zombie web reality show parody. If fact, I'll go on the record and say that it's the best amateur zombie web reality show parody I've seen this month.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0B2Pv_5a0iI/SS7Xz9Me0mI/AAAAAAAABAU/c_abYfiYxwU/s1600-h/Picture+7.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 347px; height: 235px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0B2Pv_5a0iI/SS7Xz9Me0mI/AAAAAAAABAU/c_abYfiYxwU/s400/Picture+7.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273389501297644130" border="0" /></a><br />The show revolves around some guys who, upon the zombie outbreak, hole up in an abandoned reality TV frat house (called the Frat House of Representatives). It's a funny show with plenty of humor, wit, and of course, flesh-eating dead. The survivors try their best to learn the basics of zombie defense, but they're a pretty dull lot.<br /><br />Here are our heroes trying to determine whether another survivor is a zombie.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0B2Pv_5a0iI/SS7Yv9swPNI/AAAAAAAABAc/XXWsaYWRWcE/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 232px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0B2Pv_5a0iI/SS7Yv9swPNI/AAAAAAAABAc/XXWsaYWRWcE/s400/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273390532225154258" border="0" /></a>The guy in the hospital gown (Paul) was at a free clinic when the outbreak started. He just found out that he has HIV, and tries to take a zombie out by injecting it with some of his blood (it doesn't work). At the end of each segment, the characters sign off from the show stating, "My name is X, and I am not infected." When the HIV guy signs off, he say, "My name is Paul, and I am not...a zombie." Funny shit.<br /><br />Another guy in the house is a self-absorbed asshole (Hartley) who, when asked in an interview about the effects of the zombie outbreak, says "Well, homelessness is up...but they're eating."<br /><br />And to round out the group, there's Charlie, a good-natured guy who is against killing anything, including zombies. He is what Hartley refers to as a "douchebag".<br /><br />Couple all of that characterization with some home-made blood squibs for shotgun head shots, and what's there not to love?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0B2Pv_5a0iI/SS7ZZIYvo8I/AAAAAAAABAk/E9MWYcm4vTw/s1600-h/Picture+2.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 231px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0B2Pv_5a0iI/SS7ZZIYvo8I/AAAAAAAABAk/E9MWYcm4vTw/s400/Picture+2.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273391239468655554" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0B2Pv_5a0iI/SS7Zoa0AGAI/AAAAAAAABAs/U-HTwZa0sow/s1600-h/Picture+6.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0B2Pv_5a0iI/SS7Zoa0AGAI/AAAAAAAABAs/U-HTwZa0sow/s400/Picture+6.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273391502112856066" border="0" /></a>The bottom line is that <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.iamnotinfected.com">I Am Not Infected</a> is a witty web show that takes zombie cinema back to its low-budget roots and combines it with some modern-day satire and sensibility to produce a thoroughly satisfying zombie experience. I recommend that you check it out.<br /><br />Oh, and the zombie boobs were blurred out.
