Diary of the Dead: Romero's Latest Relevant Zombie Flick

Finally, directors are utilizing the ultimate kick ass chick, Zoe Bell.

For those who object to the dialogue (being unrealistic, "girls don't talk like that") in "Death Proof", they could still enjoy the film's FYR element of a real stunt woman being the lead character thus making the experience of sitting through the film's first half and "Planet Terror" a worthwhile one. In an industry that is more faddy than NFL offenses, it was only a matter of time for another director to try and capture what carried the last two acts of a Quentin Tarantino film. Sadly, "Angel of Death" did not have the means to capture all of Zoe Bell's awesomeness, but it's a start, and well worth my waiting for a month for it to enter the "5 Day" rental category.

Eve has been the best hit person for the Downes Family because she does not question the orders her agent gives her and she won't take time for regrets. This all changes when she takes a four inch blade into her skull. No seizures, no sever headaches, but she starts to experience hallucinations of her past assignments. To put an end to these demons, she is going to try and set all her wrong rights by stopping those who put the innocent at risk.

    Land of the Dead was a big shoot on capitailsm bro. All of his movies have some kind of message regarding society. Night of the living dead was racism, dawn of the dead was women in the workplace and Day of the dead was about nuclear arms race.

    I said that Land of the Dead was about haves and have nots, that's more about class systems. Dawn of the Dead was about consumerism, how the people got comfortable with surviving after they locked down the mall. Just because Day of the Dead took place in a silo doesn't make it about nukes. The entire concept of a zombie apocalypse can actually be a nuke message.
