Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
Best when viewed after watching the previous four in the series
A film that is best suited for those who have followed the series from the beginning. Some of the funniest lines from the movie come in the form of references to past events in Kevin Smith's Jersey Movies. For those unsure of "Jay and Silent Bob's" previous movies they are as follows, "Clerks," "Mallrats," "Chasing Amy," and "Dogma."
Raiders of the Living Dead (1986)
A Fairly Decent Film
An eerie film, not really too much in the way of horror. It is suspenseful. There is not much gore at all, actually I can only think of one person being devoured. It had some interesting plot points. If you are an avid collector of Zombie movies you will like this flick.
Day of the Dead (1985)
Classic! Right up there with Night of the Living Dead
I believe Romero Captured what he was looking for in this movie. You are faced with characters almost straight out of comic books. They are to the edge and about to fall over. The characters at first glance seem to be over-acting. Only let's take a look at them. Sarah; she hides the strain she is under, to her it is the only way to keep going. McDermontt; he drinks his worries away, sitting day in and day out on the radio trying to reach a world you know is overrun. Miguel; Possibly the most honest character, he is well aware he is cracking and he has no way to stop it. John; he realizes the state the world is in and somehow believes that it is the fault of man that caused this state, he takes it in stride but he is feeling the strain. Rhodes; many call him the most over-acted character in the production. He strives to regain the order that is falling around him, he is military and believes there should be a military answer to anything. Dr. Logan; he is off his rocker, suffering from delusions of grandure, he deals with the strain by experiments and engulfing himself in his work. All in all the characters are very real. How would any of you act in that situation? Rushed to put a team together as the world slowly dies, shipped underground in a tomb while the dead are allowed to roam free, and losing contact with everyone else. We are really witnessing the collapse of a minnie society collapsing. I hope next time any of you view the fine movie you think about these points. The true horror lies in the situation they are in, not in the zombies.
