Zombie Movie of the Week (August 1-7)

Day of the Dead (Steve Miner, 2008) 4 out of 6 Bullets, 2 out of 4 Blood Splats

I really enjoyed this one. The main girl (Mena Suvari) is totally cute and the co-stars are pretty funny. Lots of one liners from the black guy (Nick Cannon) that are quite classic. Basic zombie premise based in a small town of Colorado called Leadville, which I have actually driven through once. Lots of good action and the makeup is really cool for an under the radar zombie flick. Some blood is CGI and some is prop, the prop looks really cool and most of the CGI looks great, some scenes you can def tell though. Of course there are some cheesy parts (not as many as usual luckily) and some minor twists in the classic zombie outbreak but overall the cheese is low. My favorite part is near the end of the hospital scene, let's just say it involves a crutch, a saw blade and lots of zombie deaths so get stoked! And one more thing, the acting is good enough that a significant other may not be as pissed watching it as they would be watching Dead Alive.
