28 Days Later is not just a horror movie, it's a movie you actually need to think through. The comments about this movie being a terrible waste of time and that it doesn't live up to Trainspotting, are by people who missed the first 10 minutes of the movie or didn't understand what happened. Trainspotting (I agree) is an amazing movie which is ALSO a movie that you think through.

I believe it's now apparent from other peoples comments that monkey's are released by animal activists containing a virus, which spreads throughout the country side. The collage in the beginning directly relates to the LA riots in a attempt to control the human emotion of RAGE. The scientist (David Schneider) even explains that to develop a cure (to rage), the monkey's must be infected (similar to the idea in Mission Impossible 2). This crucial idea that being infected by RAGE instigates the violent side of humans. It is the rage in human nature to attack, destroy, mutilate all other people who are not infected by the disease. Maybe people are familiar with the slogan, "You're either with us or against us" which becomes the mentality for the "zombies". The infected lose their sense of right and wrong and feed off their hate and bloodlust. The idea that the movie portrays "zombies" is just an identifying factor that allows the viewer to determine who is and isn't infected. People everyday are infected by rage and their lives are run by anger. This is why the scientists in the beginning are trying to develop a cure for OUR disease. The monkey's are not being tested for body products, but for an actual GOOD cause.

This movie is not your typical horror movie with body counts and bad movie lines. The script written by Alex Garland can stand alone with its insightful thoughts and realistic story line, but it's the true vision of Danny Boyle that makes this movie a classic like Trainspotting with the cinematography. 28 Days Later will be a film that will live on and become a cult classic because no matter what, rage will always be in our lives and there's a zombie in all of us.

Recently at the movies, there hasn't been a lot of GOOD romantic comedies without either being 1) cheesy and predictable, or 2) sappy and not funny. A Piece of my Heart (aka My Last First Date) not only has some great scenes about the 'truth of dating', it also provides some comical fillers and connections between the lives of all the characters. Based from the play 'Heart', this script had many truthful analogies about what each sex is thinking. It covers both sides of a relationship (Martin Henderson and Piper Perabo) and then gains more insight from the friends watching the relationship. This movie is brutally honest and I believe that EVERYONE who goes to see this movie will say (at least once), 'That's happened to me before'. Finally, it's a good romantic comedy since last year.

It's everything you ever wanted in a movie... Comedy, Suspense, Action, Drama all in one film... Full Metal Jacket. The beginning half sets up with laughter of Boot Camp, but turns to the more serious side of war later. I enjoy Stanley Kubrick films, but I would have to say that this is my favourite. Personally, it's everything you would want to see in a movie and can be enjoyed and appreciated be almost all ages. Truly a great movie that needs better recognition...
