\"shaun-of-the-dead-poster\"Shaun of the Dead<\/span><\/strong> (2004 – Rated R in the US for zombie violence\/gore, language and the willful destruction of some classic vinyl records)<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary (from IMDB):<\/span><\/p>\n

A man decides to turn his moribund life around by winning back his ex-girlfriend, reconciling his relationship with his mother, and dealing with an entire community that has returned from the dead to eat the living.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n


RB Wood’s Rating (out of 5): 4 cricket bats<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s just start with the fact that I adore Simon Pegg (Shaun).  I think he’s an absolute hoot.  And the fact he has a writing credit as well as plays the titular character means that the dialog is going to be witty, sarcastic and just good fun.  When we are introduced to Shaun, he’s a complete loser.  A deadend job, just lost his girl friend his life is drudgery.  The film as loads of digs at other movies in this genre and it’s fun to spot them through out the movie.  But make no mistake, this is a horror film.  The violence is hardcore, but is the humor is mixed in and is never over done.  You’ll be laughing at the same time the ‘splatter’ occurs.  I knocked a star off for the limited use the movie puts Martin Freeman and Dylan Moran to, but you’ll love this little flick.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the famous George Romero say this is one of his favorite zombie flicks, you know you have a winner.<\/span><\/p>\n
