I'm still doing that zombie thing, whenever I can:

SWISS ARMY MAN:
By strict definition Swiss Army Man is not a zombie film. One of the two central characters is however a (possibly) animated, talking, farting corpse - so I'm going to run with it for now. I wanted to see this when it was on cinema release but it disappeared before I could catch it ( Read more... )

I took some of my service users today to see 'The Girl With All The Gifts' a movie they chose themselves without me leading them - though to be fair most of them wanted to see 'Deepwater Horizon but that doesn't come out until next week ( Read more... )

29. SICK BOY:There are things about this film I like but sadly they are outweighed by what I don't like. What I like is that this ( Read more... )

Here are brief reviews for four zombie movies:

MAGGIE:Arnie stars in a zombie movie - but this one is far from obvious. The zombie outbreak has started, but people take weeks to turn. The emphasis of this film is not on the rampaging zombies but a more personal and emotional tale of how families cope (or not) when one of their loved ones is ( Read more... )

I just think finding cans of beans are just too optomistic.
