At least as far as Romero's artistic & creative output goes.<br /><br />Flogging a very dead zombified horse.<br /><br />OMG... I hope he doesn't go down the damn zombie animal path.

Martin was a brilliant film, and The Crazies, though not perfect, hit on very important political topics of the time.

I'd hate to see all his previous works get tarnished for the sake of a studio dollar...<br /><br />thanks for dropping in Carl.stonerphonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573438214430666233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331270182987201785.post-40827965749478796352010-10-10T00:51:25.687+10:002010-10-10T00:51:25.687+10:00I was totally out on this one..

I def don't agree with everything I read, and more often than not I find myself at odds with 99% of most reviewers, but unfortunately Survival turned out to be a total stinker. <br /><br />A lot of reviewers refuse to go against the grain when it comes to "big name" horror directors, choosing to go with flow so as to not upset the apple cart. And altho I LOVE Romero's films, I can't sit here and write "it was ok" or "not a bad movie" purely coz of Romero's past quality work or reputation in the horror community. I watched it (well, most of it). It sucked. I call 'em how I see 'em.<br /><br />But def don't let my review put you off seeing it. I've lost count of movies with "bad/ negative reviews" I've seen and personally thought the film rocked...<br /><br />Thanks heaps for stopping by!stonerphonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573438214430666233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331270182987201785.post-81093138233490551042010-10-04T17:22:54.897+10:002010-10-04T17:22:54.897+10:00I haven't seen Survival of the dead but when I...I haven't seen Survival of the dead but when I do I wont have high expectations so I don't get upset.
