Land of the Dead Review

Land of the Dead

Review by James

First off, I am not a huge fan of zombie movies. I just never really cared for them that much. Heck, I’m more of a Silent Hill fan than a Resident Evil fan. However, I can watch them and enjoy them on a basic level. The movie is a direct sequel to the other Romero movies. It’s set in a time when Zombies pretty much have free reign of the planet, except for zones where humans live. People from the zones from time to time have to raid local towns for supplies and food. In this movie, the Zombies have learned to evolve, and think more freely on a basic level. Some even learn how to use weapons.

There is humor in the movie, of the gore kind. The movie is full of sight gags, so try to catch them all. The movie is full of no name stars except for Dennis Hopper and John Leguizamo. Both are fairly good, but Dennis Hooper really steals the show. The action is good, and so is the gore-level. This is no wimpy PG-13 movie folks, it’s straight up R, with a bit of nudity thrown in.

It should be known that the movie has many flaws and logic issues. For one, there is the “ Big message”. Zombie aren’t really that bad “they’re just looking for a place.” What? The movie has no ending what so ever. It was as if the writers ran out of time and simply said, “Okay, let’s call this an ending.” Not a great movie, but entertaining, but do you want anything else from a Zombie movie?

I have to pass. I can't sit through gory movies. It all goes back to when I was a young teenager and the local recreation club would play movies for the young'uns at midnight. One night they showed "Night of the Living Dead," and about around the 200th time a zombie's intestines spilled out, I vomited out my Boston Baked Beans.

Oh, yeah, I understand. I was kind of the same way. And this movie has a lot of gore in it. It would have been better without the paper thin plot.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...

Kouri Richins | Are you with me ?

Image
  Kouri Richins was just found guilty.  She was the one who was looking for “That Michael Jackson shit.” This woman wrote a children’s book about her husband’s death.  This was after she gave him a drink full of Fentanyl.  There was so much in the drink that it would kill him a hundred times over. I just love that she was so sure she got away with it that she “wrote” a book to capitalize on it.   By the way, she did not write the book.  It was ghostwritten.  This was a grief book to “teach” kids about loss.  What a POS.  The name of the book is Are You With Me?   Yes, he was with you when his wife was found guilty.  Not sure if she will write a sequel.  She is Not With Us.   By the way, the channel changed the name of the interview video after her guilty verdict.
