Eric Covener’s Journal

Dance of the Dead is a campy teen zombie movie in RedBox now. Shawn of the Dead isn’t losing any sleep, but it was a decent rental. Cross between a bad Not Another Teen Movie and a bad Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode.

New (remake) zombie flick: http://www.containthetruth.com/

A snoozer with a couple big laughs; save your ludder. Should have seen this coming after Seth Rogen stunk up Superbad.

Zohan should be avoided, lots of dead screentime.

Slightly disturbing opening sequence in the trailer but still looks pretty cool. It does have a little bit of a douchey Michael Moore feel to it, but hard to sympathize with the juicers.

Lost Boys: The Tribe. Two Coreys for your Corey’ing pleasure.

Wanted looks pretty cool, although it doesn’t yet carry an MPAA rating. Angelina Jole and Morgan Freeman are matrix-like assassins that take a teenager under their wings.

If this disciple, James McAvoy is badass enough to woo Jane Austen, he’s gotta make a good assassin!

Jason Sudeikis and Kristen Wiig play a couple in the new movie “Meet Bill” with Aaron Eckhart and Timothy Olyphant — the latter looks a lot like a dapper Michael Ian Black in the trailer (He’s the drug dealer in Go and the villian in the most recent Die Hard)

The Day of the Dead “remake” is even more of a stinker then the original. This one was straight to video, not worth two trips for a free RedBox rental.

Romero doesn’t direct it — fast zombies like 28-days later but none of the characters really have anything interesting going on. Far worse then 28 weeks later of Land of the Dead.

… makes Run Ronnie Run look like Run Lola Run.

Second disappointment in a row from Simon Pegg. An okay movie with a few highlights, but not something worth seeing in the theater.
