Land of the Dead (2005,  R)
Land of the Dead
Another Romero Classic. Probaly the most intresting zombie film I've seen. Alike all of Romero's films in the Dead Series, Land Of The Dead is laden with social commentry. This movie focuses on the divide between the rich & the poor.

Whereas in reality the divide is only a metaphorical one, in Land Of The Dead Romero has exemplifies it by creating a physical divide between the rich & poor in this post-apocalyptic fortress. While the poor live on the outskirts of the city living a beggar's life, the rich and influencial live in pre-apocalyptic paradise known as "Fiddler's Green" at the centre of the city.

The film does well at showing the tension between the two castes and what people will do in order to jump ship or level the playing field. Land Of The Dead is intresting because of the way it deals with the aspect of intelligence within the zombie ranks, which creates a moral paradox for the trigger-happy zombie slayers.

Filled to the brim with action, horror and gore! Land Of The Dead is an exciting and intresting film for horror fans or amble movie watchers alike. Though the ending lacks luster compared to others of it's genre, it leaves the playing field open and allows the audience time to reflect on the issues it's raised.

Chinjeolhan geumjassi (Lady Vengeance) (Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) (2005,  R)
Chinjeolhan geumjassi (Lady Vengeance) (Sympathy for Lady Vengeance)
(Sympathy For) Lady Vengeance is a breath-taking film. It tells an intresting, captivating and sometimes horrifying story in the most beautiful way possible.

Every shot is a work of art. And there is not one scene in this film which doesn't envoke a powerful emotion; be it sadness, anger, hatred or fear.

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride
Once again we prepare to delve head-first into the twisted & exciting world of Tim Burton. This time Burton transports us from the dark, horrifying streets of Halloween Town into something a bit more, real.


But as with all of Burton's films, all is not what it seems. As this

The Nightmare Before Christmas (2008,  PG)
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Filled to brim with intresting characters, exciting action & memorable songs: The Nightmare Before Christmas is truly Tim Burton's greatest peice of work even to this date.


Burton transports us to the wonderful land of Halloween Town, a land stuck in the neverending imagery of All Hallow's Eve.


The film manages to captivate audiences with it's brilliant stop-motion animation, fantastic scenery and catchy theme tunes. Who do you know who doesn't know every word to "This Is Halloween"?
