Re: The Walking Dead

I've never read the comics but I'm really excited to see this.

Re: The Walking Dead

There is also a trailer on Survival of the Dead Blu-ray and looks great.......I can't wait for this.

What's the word on Survival? Worth a blind buy or what?

Rotten tomatoes didn't look good...apparently his directing is uninspired, and he's running out of new ideas.

Unless you're a huge Romero fan I'd probably pass for now until someone who has seen it can comment. I'm personally not really into Romero's new stuff anyways, and this sounds worse than normal.

Re: The Walking Dead

This looks good. Is it just going to be one season?

Re: The Walking Dead

So far like Breaking Bad its starting with one six episode season. If it does well more will be coming.

Uhmmmmmm........well Best Buy has the Blu-ray on sale this week for $16.99. For $17, I would make the blind buy purchase.......but nothing more than that.

I am writing up the review as we speak which will post on my site today. In some ways, I find this to be a worse movie than "Diary of the Dead". Since I am a Romero fan and have all his "Dead" releases on Blu-ray I will keep this one too. There is some cool stuff in this movie, but the problem is that he allowed the social commentary to go before the story unlike his first four efforts where it was underlying. The social satire sticks out like a sore thumb as it did in "Diary". The acting is not bad in this one, but not great either. The cool thing is that it is a sequel to "Diary" which Sgt. Crockett has a larger role.

Back to The Walking Dead..........this darn show can't get here fast enough.

Will read your review when I get home. Have you seen Dead Snow? I actually thought it was pretty good. 1 of the better Nazi Zombie movies I have seen

Re: The Walking Dead

I've gotten up to vol. 7, "Calm Before." It's a really great read and I'm hoping to catch up soon. Sadly, I went on the official site and ruined some big plot points for myself. Thankfully, doing that has never bothered me much. Can't wait to see the television adaptation and I'm curious how they'll tone down the violence and sex.

I saw that recently on IFC. I enjoyed it but thought the ending could've been better. Has anyone seen Dead Alive by Peter Jackson? It's a pretty good horror-comedy, IMO. The love interest is sexy in an unconventional way.

I would say yeah for that price.

BTW nice review on Survival. I will pick-it up, but will wait til October as it will probably be lower priced due to Halloween

Thanks! I love my zombie movies, but I feel like Romero has really been losing his charm over the last few years, which is ultra sad. I think his first two movies in the dead series were great, Day was enjoyable and found Land to be entertaining..........but Diary and Survival have left a lot to be desired. I wasn't a fan of Diary, but now I like it a bit better than Survival. LOL!

I really hope that The Walking Dead turns out to be very good......I have been hoping for an episodic zombie television series, finally it has come true.
