Loved the whole thing, even the bit that came after the end credits.

They had the same thing with Gangster, Guns and Zombies. I always like it when they do that at the end.

I SEEN FAST 6..KILLING SEASON..OBLIVION AND THE PURGE..ENOUGH MOVIES FOR ME FOR A WHILE

Jack The Giant Slayer

Have to agree with this. Can't believe a Die Hard film would leave me going "Eh", but this one did.

THE HEAT: OMG! Talk about a hilarious film. McCarthy is freaking hilarious in this movie. However, I do worry about her being typecast in her movie roles. Right now her style is clicking but just like other comedians who started out on fire (Jim Carrey comes to mind) she could fade out within five years or so. Bullock and McCarthy make a great duo though.

WORLD WAR Z: I have not read the book and from what I hear the movie really doesn't have much to do with the book (except for the name). Still, this film surprised me with how good it actually is. Pitt's character is not a hero (meaning he isn't a macho type bad ***). He is simply a man who wants to keep his family safe. It just so happens that in order to do that he must find a way to deal with the zombies. I like that the zombies are shown as being aggressive (fast and agile) and only until the end do you see some zombies shown as the slow moving types we are accustomed to seeing in movies (it's explained that the zombies have not had any stimulus to make them aggressive). Pitt does carry this film rather well and the action scenes are well done (especially the scenes from Israel). Overall WWZ is good and I can't wait to see what they do for the sequel.

camilla - reltively normal but excellent film starring jessica tandy about friendship and a lot about music so I lurves it


The Englishman who went up a hill and came down a mountain - (again normal excellent high quality artwork/filmaking) - set in Wales, Hugh Grant was charming as Wales itself, as a gov't surveyor staying in Wales to make maps, and of course he got the girl. Wonderful film

Yes, that is correct; aside from the title, the movie, World War Z, had almost nothing similar with the book by Max Brooks. The divergence of the film is so significant, you'd be hard-pressed to see anything from the source material, if you are a fan of the latter. So I cannot determine any reason as to why they even bothered buying the rights?

When I saw this film, I felt like I'm watching a Disney release of an extremely diluted version of 28 Days Later.

I watch a lot of movies so it's hard to remember what I watched last

I can see why you would come to that analogy Red. Guess being a major blockbuster summer film and a PG-13 rating will get you that. Damn that Mouse!

I'm not sure if it was one of those that went through countless script changes, but World War Z was a popular book so they wanted to use the name to sell the movie.

Same as the movie The Lawnmower Man based on Stephen King's short story. The movie had zip to do with King's story, they even added in King's fictitious government agency The Shop to try and tie there movie to King. Fortunately King sued and got his name removed from the film.

From what I've read prior to the movie's opening, they were already pressed for time and monetary constraints that they had to make it into something more mainstream. Kind of like using a tried and tested formula for movies, so they could, at the least, break even with the budget they spent.



Yes, it did undergo such an extreme metamorphosis from the original script because the director, writers (for screenplay), producer and the lead actor had numerous difference of opinions on how things should get done. At least, that's what I can remember from the articles I've read before. If you'll notice, they have several writers for the movie since it was not unheard of that one had actually quit during the middle of the movie's production, due to heated arguments.

So going back to the movie being so "canned", they had to do that because they've been postponing the movie release for so long that they went over the budget. They needed to finish the movie and fast, but had to make sure that it's a movie people would want to see, so they made majority of it more on action (think Transformers or movies like that), something the general public would go for. Plus, they made it PG 13, to target a larger audience.

So there. :P

And yes, Goof, I do believe it was a Disney movie in disguise! :P

Hi miss red

Any good?

Hi, Moe! :D

Torgo, still watching it. So far, so good. I like the concept a lot! definitely got some points for originality. AND they're also using the FF technique, so you'll probably watch this for that reason alone. Ahaha.

Cool! I've been curious about it since I saw the title.

Oooooh, and I'm loving how they didn't use CGI for the monsters! You'll love this, T! It's like watching Face Off special edition! Ahahaha! This movie might just be added to my favorites list! :)
