Shaun Of The Dead

Shaun of the Dead [Blu-ray]
$29.98
The first time I saw this movie, I enjoyed it, but it was nothing terribly special. Then, I happened to be working (as an engineer) on a consumer electronics product that plays DVD, and this was one of the test discs that I used. Consequently, I've seen the movie dozens of times now.

Rather than becoming tedious and repetitive, this movie actually gets better and better each time you watch it! It's clear that enormous loving care went into the script, as there are dozens of instances of foreshadowing and inside jokes built into the scenery and dialog. Minor characters turn out to be more deeply entwined with our heroes' lives than they appear at first. And, there are so many subtle little jokes in the dialog that you won't catch on first viewing.

All in all, this is now one of my favorite movies, and one I watch from time to time just for fun.

I love Zombie movies and this is one of those at the top of my list. If you like humor, slight gore and zombies this is the movie for you. I can watch this one over and over.

Dawn of the Dead/Shaun of the Dead
$29.99
I really enjoyed both of these movies. They satisfy different kinds of urges for zombie movies but I certainly consider them both satisfying and being able to get them at a reduced price as a package was nice. Remakes like "Dawn of the Dead" always live in the shadow of the original but this one holds up pretty well and has some of its own flavor. As I write this, I sit a couple of miles away from the shopping mall where the original was shot so I have a pretty high standard! "Shaun..." is funny but without being too far over the top. It never completely abandons its roots as a zombie flick though it does have laughs. That's not an easy balance but it walks it beautifully.
