What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

The Return of the Living Dead

This was fascinating Frankenstein of a movie (who would fit in this movie). For the longest time I've avoided this series just because it wasn't the Romero zombies and I heard it mocks it in some ways. The only one I've seen parts of was Part III and that was pretty interesting for various reasons. It seems like what Dan O'Bannon did here kicked off one of the major cliches the general public knows of zombies that weren't in the Romeo zombies (I.E. eating brains). There's also a stark difference between the Romero zombies and the O'Bannon zombies like their intelligence, how they move, and especially how you kill them.

As for this movie, it's a bizarre mishmash of super 80s camp and incredibly disturbing moments if you think about it for a few seconds. The conflicting tones this movie has shouldn't work, but it kinda does which was interesting. Also this movie got some balls just for the opening text alone. I did like how the Romero zombies does exist in this universe just slightly altered to connect with this series. Of all the characters, Don Calfa is probably my favorite because he outacts every person in the movie. Tarman is quite possibly the most horrifying zombie I've ever seen... It's so effective and it's a shame he's not in it a lot. Overall, I don't think it's a perfect zombie flick, but there is a lot to admire about it.

Perfect timing. Paul Dano is chosen for Riddler (maybe) and he sang 'Jingle Bells, Batman Smells' in that movie.

Speaking of which, I feel the need to watch the sequel despite never watching the first.

Yep! Strange coincidence.

I forgot how good the first one is. I'd definitely recommend watching it before seeing the sequel

I'll try to watch it after watching the sequel. I like going backwards in film watching sometimes.

Zombieland: Double Tap

This is pretty much the equivalent of microwaving NY style pizza. Sure, it wasn't perfect like when you originally had it... and the edges are a bit cold, but it does the job. It continues the story and style of the first only it's now 10 years later and the jokes aren't that fresh. It starts out in the White House and they stay in there for quite a while which was telling. It wasn't until they introduce Zoey Deutch where they start showing some promise. She does a phenomenal job playing a ditzy valley girl who would totally show up in Mean Girls. She keeps the movie interesting and funny for a good while until the movie keeps going into these random subplots that ultimately go nowhere. That's where they introduce other characters like Luke Wilson, Thomas Middleditch, and even Rosario Dawson. They only exist to be either cannon fodder or have a underdeveloped relationship with the main cast. The movie kinda yada yada their way into the 3rd act where you know how it will play out. It's not bad, but it's pretty predictable. The only bright spot might be the aftercredits where they do something funny and awesome. Overall, it's just passable.

Love this one and have watched it numerous times. The second I remember just being ok and the third was kind of cool.

Yeah, that scene is a classic horror scene with Tarman, "Braaaaaiiiins!".

The Tripod design is cool, rest of the movie is not cool. I saw it in theater back then.

Is this a movie about a kid who has a mental disorder and thinks his Teddy Bear tells him to push kids in the whole as sacrifices for the trogodytes?

I kind of want to see this movie. But no, this isn't it. Kid is an imposter, real kid is nowhere to be found. Mom freaks out and people think she's crazy.
