Shaun of the Dead (2004)
difference in transformation times
I'll just start off by saying that Shuan of the Dead RULES! It is a great representation of British humour and the British lifestyle. I was so glad to see that they stuck with genuine British slang and didn't dumb it down for the American audiences. Just a small question. Why does it take so long for Shaun's flatmate, Pete, to become a zombie. He tells Shaun and Ed at 4am that he was bitten on his way home from work, so I'm assuming at the latest he was bitten around 6pm. So after 8 hours he still hasn't become a zombie. Whereas, Shaun's mother and father, sorry step-father, becomes zombies in much less time. What's up with that?
Lurking in Suburbia (2006)
Tired, re-used and abused story
I hated this movie, from the first minute to the last - truth be told the last minute I watched was at about the 60 minute mark, during the party. I didn't expect much from this movie, but man, did I get less! The characters are so obvious and clichéd, same as the story. A movie about a party animal and his immature friends is nothing new, and the ones where one of them suddenly realises his crazy lifestyle must come to an end are just as old. That scene at the beginning where they are sitting in the back of the truck drinking from a keg was sssooooo lame I wanted to smash my TV. And the sex-crazed friend character was worthy of a bullet. The way this movie has the main character spouting used bullshit at the camera about the pressures and responsibilities of the real world ( some of the statements are almost true ) while at the same time showing the friends o-so-casually carrying out crazy pranks without batting their eyelids makes me want to puke. Try some originality next time
Wasabi (2001)
What a piece of crap
What the hell was Jean Reno thinking getting himself involved with this lame movie. Although after seeing his painful display in The Pink Panther, I doubt that he has any sense of good scripts at all. The story is weak and tugs on sentimental heartstrings that have been plucked out of tune by countless other " daddy finds long-lost daughter" movies. Reno's acting, as usual, is as wooden and lifeless as ever ( although it worked well in Leon) and the character of the wild, crazy, kooky, neo-Tokyo-bubblegum-pop-teenie-bopper daughter is so obvious and clichéd that it brought me to tears, and don't get me started on Momo - what a retard of a character - what a retard of a movie.
