Got around to buying "Fido" and just finished watching it. Thanks to whoever recommended it-- one of the better satires on the genre I've seen (I dare to say even better then Shaun of the Dead). The 50's setting was a nice touch, and Carrie-Anne Moss was gorgeous in it.

 

Glad you enjoyed. I'm going to watch "Carriers" as soon as my :romance-ballandchain: gets here. I'll let you know what I think.

Want to know something Scary?? it's in my 8 year-old Daughter's top ten favorites.

Watched that a few days ago. The premise is decent, and it's an ok flick, but, as someone else in this thread said (maybe it was Wolfy?) the main characters are a bit whiny and annoying. Still, wasn't bad for what it was.

Haha! That's great. The story of Fido is really a "child and dog companion" story beneath the veil of zombies and Zomcon, so I can definitely understand that.

 

As for Carriers, I might have to check that out. I'm just really craving a decent zombie flick... might pop in 28 Weeks Later as soon as I'm done writing this paper.

Not bad. It was a global pandemic and not a zombie movie. Funny that's what I would expect for a SHTF scenario anyway. Diary of the Dead will be next.

This has nothing to do with zombies at all, but I figure its worth sharing.

If you have never seen Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, its now available (for free of course) on Hulu: http://www.hulu.com/watch/142698/dr-str ... e-the-bomb

Enjoy a classic!

That's what I liked the most about Carriers. I felt they did a decent job portraying a pandemic ravaged world - struggling to find food & water.. running out of gas.. dealing with other people that may or may not be infected... you really got a feel for how desperate things could easily get.

 

Diary of the Dead will be next.

Prepare to be disappointed :doh:

Dr. Strangelove is an outstanding Cold War classic, and one of my all time favorite "there's nothing on TV, slap something in the DVD player" movies. Note my sig line.

anywho on the movies i have a question when Z-DAY happens do we take in stragglers that have not been infected if they are armed or do we reject them?

 

 

:hope:

 

he will be the first to be bitten i hope

Case by case, he better have food too. I worry about infiltrators. Yes, I am that guy in the group and I end up being right at the end of the movie.

tru tru he better be able to help the group and be able to fend for himself and not just mooch off of everyone else

Diary of the Dead will be next.

You weren't kidding.

Me too, with the misses and the baby. I figure I'll have 30 gun-tootin members on my squad if I consider the bi-weekly meetup. I'm sure there will be straglers (ie- cops, firemen, owners of firearms that aren't on the forum, and criminals with guns!) and most will be welcome, unless the've been bitten!

I was going to watch that next. :doh:

this is where it's at.

Found this on another forum. Looks somewhat promising, although the storyline seems a little more advanced than you'd expect from "episode 1".

I have bad news for you Ray... It's just starting. I'm getting up at 6 tomorrow to resume my training routine.

Did anyone see the beginning of "I am Legend"? Dr. Alice Krippin creates a virus to kill cancer. Wipes out 90% of the population. Oooopps. It then creates 560 million "zombies" out of what's left of humanity. :confusion-helpsos: Stock up on ammo little buddy it's going to be a long war. :violence-rambo:

nice to see that my two main guys on the northern squad (Caine and ChrisJM981) are holding down the fort!

i cant believe ive been on this board for months and just found this thread today

Here's another zombie series that looks pretty good for what it is:

I've only watched episode 1 so far, but it's already better than anything Romero has been involved with the last few years

not a chance. this is alright for a web movie, but its lame and pales in comparison to romero

Have you actually seen any of Romero's latest movies? Different strokes for different folks I guess

I've been watching those video's you found Pete, pretty cheezy but not bad.

They're definitely cheesy. But, oddly enough, I still think they're better than (for example) Diary of the Dead. "Lifeless" at least seems to stick to the basic "bread and butter" zombie theme. Nothing fancy... just good old slow zombies and a group of survivors.
