One of the most well known documentaries of the past 25 years is on the agenda for the Genre-ary DailyView today: the Oscar-winning doc An Inconvenient Truth featuring a presentation by former Vice-President Al Gore.
The term ‘Global Warming’ is no longer used because the opposition forces have jumped on the semantics of the term, pointing to terribly low temperatures that have happened. The term these days is ‘climate change,’ which, as I said, is just semantics.
The science Al Gore presented in this doc is very compelling and hard to argue against. Contrarians might claim this is meant to be a political presentation, but it does not feel that way to me. Gore speaks about misconceptions during the film and how opponents try to build on doubt, and this feels more accurate.
Al Gore is undeniably an engaging speaker on this topic. He has always been presented as being stoic and stuffy, and, while one can see some of that in this doc, he showed himself knowledgeable and effective in providing info on this topic in compelling ways.
I thought the moments where they connected parts of Gore’s life, whether that be his presidential run, his sister’s death to lung cancer or the near death of his son, were very strong parts of the film that were then tied neatly back into the film’s overall narrative.
As a movie, this is a thoroughly entertaining work, but its relevance in the world today is undeniable unless there are motivating circumstances that prevent you from accepting the dangers that climate change can bring. Gore quotes Upton Sinclair in the film who said, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
I am happy to have finally watched this two-time Oscar winning film (it also won for Best Song) and I wish people would stop looking at this through the spyglass of politics.
Happy New Year. 2025 is here and we kick off the first EYG Comic Cavalcade of the new year. Of course, that meant that the delivery of new books tis still goobered up as it has been for the last several weeks.
I went up on New Year’s Day to Comic World with the knowledge that there would not be any books, but I had some coming from Todd and it was going to be worth it.
I was going to make the trip worthwhile as I picked up some other books at Comic World. With them lacking the books this week, I picked up these books to help even if it is just a little help. I grabbed some graphic novels off the shelf. One was Road Rage and the other was Rain. I have not gotten to either of those, but I wanted to touch on them here.
Books this week:
30 Days of Night: Spreading the Disease #1-5. Written by Dan Wickline and art by Tony Sandoval. All five of my issues were cover B variants done by Nat Jones. This series from IDW and it featured a lot of vampires and it provided a very dark and scary feel to it.
Dark Days #1-6. Written by Steve Niles and Ben Templeton. More vampires from the same studio. I actually started reading the first issue of this series and realized that it came after the 30 Days of Night. So I stopped and went to the 30 Days of Night to read first. It was not a direct sequel, but it felt in the same world. Very dark and creepy art.
Spectregraph #4. Written by James Tynion IV and illustrated by Christian Ward. Cover B art by Ian Bertram. This is the wrap up of the DSTLRY book from James Tynion IV. The house is filled with ghosts and can the two females escape their fate? There is a twist at the end of the book that is a touch confusing, but I do enjoy the creativity of it all.
Groo the Wanderer #95, #112. Written, illustrated and cover art by Sergio Aragones. Picked these two up on eBay and they got here really fast. I mean… I ordered these on Monday or Tuesday this week and they arrived on Thursday. That is really amazing.
Sex Criminals trade paperback. This collects the first five issues of the Sex Criminals series from Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky. This was a wild and sexy issue. Oh, and dirty. So very dirty. It was a wonderful group of issues. I loved this and went to eBay to pick up the complete series.
Motherfu*kin’ Monsters #1. Written by J. Holtham and artist and cover art by Michael Lee Harris. This is an issue from Image’s The Horizon Project, a group of one shot issues that featured protagonists from a marginalized background set in a popular genre. The books called itself the Evil Dead for blerds. I was not a big fan of this book. The art was too cartoonish for my tastes.
Missing on the Moon #1. Created by Cory Crater and art by Damian Couceiro. Cover art by Damian Couceiro with Dee Cunniffe. Mad Cave has a new book featuring a new world that takes place on the moon. It was interesting and had a lot of sci-fi elements that were cool.
Hornsby & Halo #2. The storytellers of this book are Peter J. Tomasi & Peter Snejbjerg. Peter Snejbjerg did the cover art. Zack and Rose show off their angel and demon forms as this books starts to pick up some momentum.
G.I. Joe #2. Written by Joshua Williamson and art and cover art by Tom Reilly. G.I. Joe and Cobra are meeting up for the first time and terrible things are happening. The Energon Universe has become huge for Image and it brings Cobra Commander back to the front. I have been waiting for the second issue for a few weeks and this was worth the wait.
The Rocketfellers #2. Written by Peter J. Tomasi and art and cover art by Francis Manapul. The Ghost Machine series sees the Rocketfeller family trying to find a Christmas tree. Who thought that this would be major issue. Yet, I guess with the Rocketfellers, anything could happen.
Dust to Dust #1. Written by JG Jones and Phil Bram and art and cover art by JG Jones. This is a beautiful new series, featuring a Western story set in the thirties. The new sheriff arrived on a horse and sets up an exciting story… and a huge dust storm is on its way. I loved the art and the coloring of this book.
Groo: Minstrel Melodies #3-4. Written by Sergio Aragones & Mark Evanier and illustrated and cover art by Sergio Aragones. The Minstrel continues to tell stories of Groo’s misadventures. I did enjoy the one where Groo came across a Groo-look-a-like. The final two issues of this new Dark Horse mini series.
I paused my annual tradition of watching Infinity War and Endgame New Years Eve until midnight to watch tonight new episode of Skeleton Crew. That should tell you how much I have been enjoying this show. It was a nice little break between the big Avengers movie (as of right now, Endgame has just started)
Our four young heroes went down a chute and slid away from Jod, who was in the process of betraying them last episode. This put Wim, Neel, Fern and KB tried to decide what they were going to do now. It led to them splitting apart into pairs after a bit of a childish argument. The show does a tremendous job of reminding us how these characters are kids.
Meanwhile, Jod is trying to avoid being sentenced and sent out the air lock by telling the story of At Attin. He tried to encourage the other pirates that he could provide an unending treasure.
The group of kids got back together and there was an exciting action scene to end the show as they flew their ship off the planet, with KB having the coordinates to At Attin in her head.
Skeleton Crew has been a great show with a ton of fun to it since episode one. We have our protagonists clearly shown for now and Jod is absolutely the antagonist. Two more episodes remain as they are on their way home.
Tell us this is the final season without saying it is the final season.
What If gives us a Howard the Duck/Darcy episode. They’re married and she gave birth to an egg.
What?
What If took one of the worst episodes from season one and gave it a sequel and made it one of the strangest, weirdest episodes of the entire run.
What If, the comic book, would have issues that were really bizarre because they could do anything they wanted, and this is a perfect example of that.
I do love Howard the Duck and I would be all for a Howard the Duck series, live action or animated. This did feel a bit much.
There were a bunch of surprising cameos from the people chasing after this egg including Zeus, Thanos and the Black Order, Nick Fury and Agent Coulson, Dark Elves, the Grandmaster …all in pursuit of this egg.
I will say that I found this to be too silly at times and that a lot of the humor did not work for me, and I am a person whose Marvel’s humor almost always works. This might be an episode that I like more on second watch, but for now, this episode was down my list.
E2 What If Agatha Went to Hollywood?
E3 What If The Red Guardian stopped The Winter Soldier
I am very happy to have What If…? back once more over holiday break, releasing daily for my entertainment pleasure. I love this release schedule which they started last year. They are releasing the eight episodes daily, starting on December 22 and running through December 29. It gives me something to look forward to every day.
What If…? has been a fairly consistent show over the three seasons. It has been enjoyable, but perhaps not outstanding. It is typically really good, fun and entertaining. This first episode feels like it falls right into that category.
The What If the Hulk Fought the Mech Avengers episode had a new team of Avengers with their giant mech technology, much like Voltron or the Power Rangers, and they took on some gamma beasts created in the Gamma War.
One of the best parts of What If…? is the use of the actual live action actors for voices in the animated shows. This episode included Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, and David Harbour as Red Guardian.
The first half of this episode felt as if it had too much exposition and, despite having a series of cool animation styles during the period, I thought there was too much telling and not enough showing. This is one of the overall issues with What If…?. Episodes are kept around 30 minutes and sometimes feel as if it is too short. This one felt like it would have been more compelling if it had been an hour. Maybe we could have seen some of the Gamma War instead of just using it as set up.
However, the second half of the show was solid and included some awesome giant robot vs. Kaiju type action, including Bruce Banner transforming himself into a gigantic Godzilla-like creature, I dubbed Hulkzilla as soon as I saw the scene. This was fun and an enjoyable action piece with a decent theme working.
Admittedly, after seeing some of the outstanding animated TV shows this year such as X-Men ’97 and Batman: The Caped Crusader, What If…? feels like a step down. That may not be fair, but when the genre is elevating its game, you expect other shows to step up too. What If…? episode one of season three was fine, but probably not as memorable as it could have been.
The fun adventures of the Skeleton Crew moved on as the crew arrived at the coordinates given to them last week by Kh’ymm, only to discover that they had not arrived at At Attin.
Turned out that this was one of the other planets that was spoken about as the Jewels of the Old Republic. According to Kh’ymm last week, the Jewels of the Old Republic was a “group of planets of wonder kept hidden for their protection.” Apparently, At Attin was the only one that was saved and remained hidden.
The planet they landed on was very much like At Attin, only war torn and devastated, with the battling factions on the land.
Honestly, this felt a little rushed. I did like the use of Neel in this episode with Hayna, the daughter of the rebel force’s leader Beef. This did feel like it could have been two episodes and really mined this setting as a source.
However, we did find out much more about SM 33 and his backstory, and why he couldn’t “say I remember At Attin.” He repeated that several times through the episode and when he nearly went crazy, that scene was quite intense and scary.
This was Neel’s episode though as he came through big time in several moments. Fern was having a crisis of confidence as their attempts to find coordinates to At Attin.
The end of the episode came very suddenly and felt odd. Overall, I thought it was an entertaining thirty plus minutes, but it did seem cramped into the time frame. I would have liked more of an expansion of what we got.
This was a really solid episode dealing with Adama and his relationship with his ex-wife Carolanne. It was his wedding anniversary and the show tells us that Adama does a lot of reflection on this day, so much so that he would imagine being able to talk to and visit with the spirit of Carolanne.
Meanwhile, Chief Tyrol and Cally get stuck in an air lock that had a leak. This came after a fight between them over the amount of time that they had to devote to Galactica in comparison to their baby son. The air was dropping in the air lock, making this a life v. death struggle.
The rescue attempt by the pilots was really tense and filled me with doubt. I could see something happening to one or even both of Tyrol and Cally. The rescue mission was a success, but Tyrol and Cally were in pretty bad shape from decompression sickness.
We get some good scenes between Adama and Lee as they share their own POV of Carolanne. Lee had a much more negative memory of her as her actions were very difficult to deal with after Adama had left.
The episode continues to tease a potential relationship forming between Adama and President Roslin, and, to be honest, I am here for it. I think they make a very interesting pairing. I’m just not sure that they will ever be able to get past their jobs or themselves to make a relationship work.
Okay, so perhaps this is not the season finale after all.
I really thought that this was the season finale. But when I pulled up the show on Apple TV +, I saw episode 11 listed for next Wednesday. So I guess this is not the final episode of the season. I do not know how many there are.
That does not bother me much because Shrinking is consistently one of the best written and entertaining shows on TV.
I had been wondering where this show was going as it seemed like most of the storylines were wrapped up over the last couple of episodes, but there were a couple that came raging back into the forefront.
In particular, the whole Louis/Alice friendship came back hard and heavy this week. Alice found out that Jimmy had told Louis to not see Alice again and that crushed her. Apparently, there are more legs to this as Alice told her father that he ruined another birthday.
Oh yeah, it was Alice’s 18 birthday. She was a little unfair in this situation in my opinion. I mean, Jimmy did find her a car just like his wife. Sure he can be blind in a lot of ways, but to say that he ruined the birthday felt a touch harsh.
There are some great development with all of the other characters too. Paul, Liz, Derek, Julie, and Gaby had solid arcs within this episode, but they all paled in comparison to the birthday escapades.
I wonder how many more episodes the season has for us?
Okay, this was another episode that was a lot of fun. Throwing these kids into a Star Wars universe was a great idea and bringing in Jude Law to be the scallywag “helping” them find their way back to the hidden planet of At Attin works on so many different levels.
Can Jude Law be trusted? As Jod Na Nawood, he was not the Jedi as Wim thought he was. His response of “I never said I was” is a masterful manipulation. I do like how the kids were not completely taken in by this guy. Sure Wim was full on hero worshipping him, but the others all had their doubts. I do like how they seemingly forced him to come with the truth. But did he? I’m not sure.
Loved the Kim owl-ish creature that Jod Na took the kids too as a way to try and find the coordinates of At Attin. Retrieving Sm-33 was great too, and this droid is one of my favorite parts of the show so far. His scenes with Jod were funny and revealing for both characters.
We got some back story on At Attin too, although, again, as with much of this show so far, what is believable and what is true?
Episode three was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to next week.
I spend a lot of time watching YouTube. It is probably the app I watch the most on my Roku TV. There are so many channels and programs on this site that I watch regularly. So every year I have to find the list of my favorite YouTube shows and personalities.
I am counting down the Top 15 YouTube series/channels of 2024. Many of these are repeats from last year and several have moved up or down.
#15. Songs from a Suitcase. Vocal coach watching cool stuff. She watched Agatha All Along.
#14. Alex Hefner’s TV and Movies. A reaction channel that has slipped a bit this year for me. As in most reaction channels, it depends on what the reactor is watching. I do enjoy Alex even if I do not watch him as often as I used to.
#13. Dodgers Nation. A big year for my Los Angeles Dodgers meant I spent more time watching this Dodger discussion show.
#12. Jeremy Jahns. Jeremy Jahns has been one of my favorite online reviewers for years. I always thought our opinions matched up. It seems as if some of my thought differed more this year than in the past, but I still think Jeremy is a good time, no alcohol required.
#11. Dan Murrell. Another of my favorite online critics, Dan is also very well spoken and intelligent. His Charts with Dan show featuring box office reports is always informative and compelling.
10. Fatman Beyond. Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin together are always a good time. I will admit that I do not watch this as regularly as I have in the past, but anytime I have the time to watch FB, I have a laugh and enjoy myself.
#9. Ashleigh Burton. Another reactor, but I seem to enjoy seeing her react more than some others. I just watched her react to Spider-Man: No Way Home and it was wonderful. She does the MCU and is currently doing Buffy season two. All of that interests me.
#8. New Rockstars. When a great new Marvel trailer comes out, there is no better place to go than to New Rockstars for the break down with Eric Voss. There are a lot of other shows on the New Rockstar lineup, but the breakdowns are still the bread and butter here.
#7. The Geek Buddies. John Rocha, Michael Vogel and Shannon McClung have excellent chemistry, being close friends. Their opinions on geek culture is not always the same, which makes it all the better. I love their long reviews of certain projects, including the great review of Agatha All Along this year.
#6. Ups and Downs. Simon Miller from WhatCulture Wrestling uses that finger of power to give the good bits and up and the bad bits a down. I watch him do these reviews for WWE wrestling and Simon is such a Positive Pete that he brings such an energy that makes the show even better than it was.
#5. Settle the Score. I enjoy this game show very much as Matt Knost hosts and Andy Merryweather plays the music. A combination of movie trivia and name that tune, Settle the Score is a hoot each week. I will say that when I know the contestants, I enjoy the show more, but there are still some winner from people I do not recognize.
#4. FYC. An Oscar discussion show featuring Scott Mantz, Perri Nemiroff and Jeff Sneider. The hosts are the strength of this show. They can disagree with one another and yet hold a civil and intelligent conversation. They clearly respect one another and it shines through the show.
#3. The Reel Rejects. Another reactor channel, but this year the team has exploded. They are doing a ton of movies, TV shows and trailer reactions and they are thoroughly entertaining, whether it be Greg and John, the original rejects, Roxy, Coy, Andrew, Tara, Aaron or any other, The Reel Rejects have had some awesome live streams that are extremely fun, such as the one this year where they were following news from ComicCon and found out Robert Downey Jr was going to play Dr. Doom in the MCU. It is great.
#2. pReview’d. It’s Jay and Adam… it’s pReview’d! Hey Peaches! The highest of the movie/TV reactors again this year is the pReview’d boys. Jay and Adam just feel so authentic and they are downright funny. So whether it is them watching Agatha All Along, Deadpool and Wolverine, Shogun, Cobra Kai, The Princess Bride, Daredevil, The Penguin, or doing a trailerpalooza in order to GAME THE SYSTEM, BA-BEEE!, Jay and Adam are awesome.
#1. Bonus Action Vol. 2. Jay Schmidt and Adam Lash from pReview’d are back with their D&D roleplaying group, creating one of the most thrilling and engaging story around. DM David Armstrong creates the story for Adam, Jay, Amanda Nichols, Ja-Ron Young, Josh Hurley and Jason Spina. These players are as creative and outstanding as improvisers which brings the gaming session to such an entertaining result. This was the #1 YouTube show on the list last year and the second season/volume has returned to the top spot. I’m not a fan of their time slot (Mondays, meaning I have to watch it the next night), but that is my only complaint. These players are so in touch with their characters that it is a joy to watch them play them and to interact with each other. So much chemistry among the group! And David is one of the best DMs I have ever seen.
So it is Black Friday and I went to Comic World in Dubuque to partake in the sale on back issues. I started talking with Ben, the owner, who was working the front of the store. We were discussing some of the movies I had watched recently, and i came around to talking about Rumours, which was totally crazy, a black comedy with some of the craziest stuff in it I had seen in a long time.
This led Ben to bring up a short that he called a ‘college’ short film, giving me a quick synopsis of the film. He mentioned a chicken moving next door to a guy. It certainly fit in with the weird films we were talking about (yes, we even mentioned Beau is Afraid).
Ben told me that it was available in full on YouTube, so I decided that I was curious to see what this comedy was and how I felt about it.
The film centered around a man named Paul Wilson (Paul Hungerford) who had a chicken move next door to him, and the chicken began tormenting him. Calling him Moriarty, the chicken, named Pembroke Arbaghast (voiced by Brian Carr), was trying not so subtle things to kill his new neighbor… or at least so Paul thought.
When his poker friends died from poisoned chimichangas, Paul decided that he had to do something to stop the chicken’s crazed spree.
This was hilarious. I loved this short. It was so funny and well presented. The key to something like this is to present it in all seriousness, despite it being totally ridiculous. Paul was really scared and bothered by the foul creature and so the silliness of the situation became funny instead of stupid.
It seemed as if every time the chicken was shown, I was laughing, because of its look, and yet, I found a lot of this to be fairly sinister. The puppeteers did a wonderful job making this chicken believable with its playing poker, driving or sending threatening emails.
The final confrontation between man and bird was excellent too. This was a lot of fun and definitely worth the time. The twist at the end was funny too.
The acting was very solid. In particular, Paul Hungerford delivers a strong performance. You are convinced that he is scared of this chicken and that he legitimately is afraid for his life.
This goes to show you how a creative mind can take even the weirdest of concepts and turn it into an entertaining film. Hate* [* A Comedy] was well worth the 22-minutes it took to watch it, available on YouTube, but do not forget the asterisk when searching.
Next up is Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three, the third in a series of animated movies from DC focusing on the iconic comic mini series. The previous two films leading up to this were weak. I do believe the finale is a little better, but it does not reach anywhere the levels of the previous DC films.
It was kind of fun watching the wave of Anti-Monitors killing all of the animated TV show earths.
It was also great to hear Kevin Conroy-Mark Hamill once again together. This was the final voice performance of Kevin Conroy, prior to his death. Conroy is the iconic Batman voice of a generation.
The story is paced poorly, and it does not feel the sense of grandness that it should. Part of that is probably the previous installments in this trilogy, but this final one is not a huge step up either.
The animation here is fine and the voice cast is vast and full of solid work.
Here’s hoping the next DC animated films are back to the storytelling of the past.
I found this on HBO Max and, because of that, I mistakenly believed, this movie would be a good one to include for The October 13, or at least was a real movie. It was five minutes into it when I discovered that this was the most amateurish, ridiculously bad film I have seen in a long time.
When the sound quality of a film does not reach the quality level of Birdemic: Shock and Terror, you know there is something wrong.
According to IMDB, “Six high school buddies accidentally kill a drug pusher and dump his body in toxic waters. When the pusher returns as a zombie and goes on a killing spree, their only recourse is to dump the body of one of their own recently dead, and have him return as a “good” zombie to face off with the “bad” one.“
I have seen this referred to as a cult classic, but if this is a classic in any form, I have to question the choices of the viewer. I know film is subjective, but I don’t think anything should be that subjective.
The budget of this movie must have been $25 dollars and a box of donuts.
I take that back, they did have some real music involved in the film, with a soundtrack involving real bands and musicians. At times the music was played so you could not hear what was being said. Best part of the film.
I seen better acting on SNL, you know when the host clearly has not learned any lines and is just reading off the cue cards off screen.
How bad was the dialogue? I don’t know, you could barely hear it.
This was not fun. There was a time or two where I laughed at the movie. Not because it was funny, but because it was so embarrassing that the only thing you could do was laugh.
The zombie make-up was more like blackface. Or eventually green face.
Then there was a zombie rape scene. I’m not kidding. Offensive as it could be.
The quality of the movies in this year’s October 13 has been really down. With Piranha, Sorry About the Demon, and this film, I really need to find a good film for #10.
Yellowjackets arrived on Netflix a few weeks ago and I wanted to add this to my watchlist. I have heard some positive things about the show and I thought that it would be great to watch despite the increasingly large list of shows that I am currently watching.
A group of high school female soccer players, who were on their way to nationals, have their plane crash in the wilderness and they are forced to survive.
The scene with the plane crash was right up there with the best plane crash scenes I have seen on TV. Clearly, the best plane crash scene is from LOST, but this one was right behind it.
In fact, part of the reason I was so imbued by Yellowjackets is that the show reminded me a lot of LOST. LOST is my favorite show of all time and Yellowjacket certainly shared some traits with it.
First, the plane crash in an isolated location. Here it is in the wilderness. There is something weird going on around this area too, although I do not think we will be seeing any Others. There is some strange design carved into a tree that will become more prominent.
Secondly, the show has a large cast of characters and does an amazing job of developing them almost immediately. Many shows with large casts struggle to get me interested in the different characters, but this one has a group of intriguing characters that grab you attention immediately.
Another similarity between Yellowjackets and LOST is that the story’s narrative function is told with both scenes from the present and scenes from the past through flashbacks. The first episode introduced things to us by showing things that led up to the crash and showing us years later. They allow us to piece things together on our own without feeling the need to lay out ever little bit along they way.
There is also a secret going on. When the Oceanic 6 made it back to the real world, they had a story and kept the truth from everyone. There is obviously something that the girls who had been rescued kept secret, promising never to speak of it again. I have a sneaking suspicion in involves what they had eaten during their time stranded. I am anxious to find out more.
Misty is a weaselly young woman who found her personal strength after the accident, but you can see that she is very manipulative, as she destroyed the plane’s black box so she could remain being seen in the positive light that she had suddenly been seen. I can see a lot of similarities between Molly and Ben Linus.
The entire season one (10 episodes) is on Netflix, but I do not see season two there, which means I may have to go searching for the show somewhere. I know it originally aired on Showtime. I loved these first two episodes and I am excited about continuing the show.
The first film of the October 13 this year was one of the all-time classics among the zombie genre, written and directed by the father of the zombie movie, George R. Romero. It was the third film in his zombie trilogy, The Day of the Dead.
To be honest, I thought that I had seen parts of this movie before, but after watching it this morning, I realized that I had never seen it at all. None of the film was recognizable for me.
The film follows a group of survivors, a combination of military and scientists, who have taken up refuge in a deserted missile silo to avoid the Living Dead. Meanwhile, one scientist tried to discover a way to domesticate the Dead.
The military men, in particular, were such horrendous people that it was clear that they were being set up to become zombie chow, and have the audience happy at their fate. There were very few of the survivors that were easy to root for.
Sarah (Lori Cardille) was one of the scientists who seemed to have the best head on her shoulders. John (Terry Alexander) was the helicopter pilot.
The worst of the military men was Captain Henry Rhodes (Joseph Pilato) and Private Walter Steel (Gary Howard Klar), both men were abusive and power mad. They were the characters in a slasher film that you want to see killed. And this film did not let us down. Rhodes’s death specifically was horrific.
We also came as close as we were going to get to a thinking zombie with Bub (Sherman Howard) who was being trained by scientist Dr. Matthew Logan (Richard Liberty).
There was a lot of screaming in the film, but I think that was meant to show the negatives of the humans, how the humans may actually be the monsters in this monster story.
One of the funniest part of the movie was seeing the oncoming zombie horde with the collection of zombie types in the mass. There was a zombie cowboy, a zombie football player, a zombie clown… makes one wonder why this group of one time people were together at all.
The Day of the Dead is a solid film with some amazing zombie gore, particularly for the time frame. I was very pleased with the kills of the film as the deaths of these unlikable humans were satisfactory.
