Saw Shaun of the Dead this past weekend and I have to say that it was pretty damn funny. SOTD tells the story of one unlikely hero thrown into the role of savior when everyone turns into zombies and he has to protect his family and friends. Hilarity then ensues. The zombies here are of the classic, slow moving style. This only adds to the fun as there is plenty of time for Shaun and Co. to try to decide what to do. Makes for an enjoyable viewing experience.

Also picked up the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead yesterday on DVD. This is awesome. I am going to have to say that this is better than the original. That’s right. I said it. And, I meant it. Here the zombies are 28 Days Later style fast as shit. This leads to an all out race to save yourself. What a rush. Along with this, the makeup effects are fantastic as can be seen from the numerous headshots and other gore scenes. Look for cameos from Tom Savini and other cast members from the original film. This is an excellent addition to my DVD collection (now at 98 titles).
