Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir #55. Diary of the dead

Genre: Horror/Horreur

Annee/Year: 2007

Format: Blu Ray

Diary fo the dead. From the famous director George A. Romero who brought us a slew of Zombie movies in the past. He attempts once more to reiterate success through a different approach of the genre. This time, less emphasis on gore and zombies themselves and more of the psychology of the camera man filming this movie as if it were a documentary. Somewhat interesting results; some focus on the internet phenomenon and what constitutes the news or what should be the news and how it is fragile and easily manipulated. The story itself is about a group of cinema students trying to find their way amongst a world in chaos. Gotta love the rambo amish who comits hara kiri to eliminate the zombie bitting him. A classic of the sickle use. Good for the real amateurs of the zombie genre. For others you can pass.

Un autre film de Zombie du maitre du genre George Romero. Il 'sagit ici d'un autre essai afin de trouver un angle original au meme vieux compte. Le succes est inegal. L'histoire est correcte, le seul interet nouveau ce situe sur son discour sur l'internet et la nouvelle et la fragilite de cette information/mesinformation. Interessant. Bon film pour les mordus (...) de Zombies mais pour les autres moins interessant.

Great quotes:

Brody: Can't get close enough for an Emmy.
Brie: Screw the Emmy. I'd settle for a fucking paycheck.
Brody: Story of my life.

Eliot Stone: [after Ridley drives off with Francine] Fuckin' mummies get all the girls.

Debra: [voiceover] The media were lying to us, or the government was lying to them. They were trying to make it seem like everything was gonna be all right.

Jason: Fuck. $100,000 education, I can't find my way out of a fucking warehouse.
