Diary of the Dead and Doomsday

Saw a double feature this afternoon with J'Mel. Diary of the Dead and then Doomsday.

Both were fun post-apocalyptic looks at the future.

Diary of the Dead marks Romero's return to the traditional slow zombie. Awesome! Go check it out in a theatre if you can. It had a limited release, and I don't expect it to last long in Birmingham. There were four people at the viewing we attended.

Doomsday was a mix of Mad Max and 28 Days later. Not bad. It reminded me of those old action movies that would come on NBC mid afternoon in the late 80s to early 90s. Good stuff. Lots of gore and screaming.
