Dead Snow

Out of respect for the Harry Potter topic, I decided not to continue talking about Dead Snow in it and just start a brand new topic. I don't have a huge amount to say about it but what I will say is that the invention of camcorders is the best thing to ever happen. Now anyone can save up some cash and even if they aren't shooting HD, can get nice quality out of their films. The B movie is being revolutionized  from crappy 8mm and 16mm film to high quality film making. Looking at the trailer, it was most likely filmed with a HD camera (or if they were some lucky sons of guns actually got a Red One). The fact of the matter is I'm enjoying seeing B movies get some circulation. Movies that are able to laugh a bit at themselves when it comes to plot and acting but give you some low budget technical work that you can truly enjoy. I'm seriously looking forward to this film not only because its about Nazi Zombies, but because the movie viewing public needs more movies like Evil Dead I and II.

Thrilla in Manila


I have been searching for documentaries that i find interesting. I found one when i was browsing through HBO's documentaries, I found the Thrill in Manila. This doc. was directed by John Dower. this doc. explores ALI and FRAZIER's last bout. It takes a look at the racial politics of the era. It also gives a good insight of how america treats its sports stars.

"Poisoned Waters" Airs Tonight 4/21 @ 9-11


Please watch this if you can, this program by FRONTLINE (on WHYY) is very highly rated and looks very interesting. It highlights the Puget Sound and Chesapeake estuaries - which have deteriorated horribly over the past decades. Human impact on these areas have been devastating - frogs (not cane toads this time) are the first to feel the impact - male frogs with ovaries, 6 legs and other mutations. For those of you who don't think animals matter - watch the effects of chemicals on us! No wonder cancer rates are so high. This program is truly scary.
