Sometimes more isn't better, it is just more. This is especially true with Zombies. Some of you may know of my short career as a Actor/Model. Well, I was approached by a friend about helping produce a Zombie movie featuring Orrin Porter Rockwell, who kind of looks like a Zombie.
I was a bit unfamiliar with the Zombie apocalypse genera so I did some research and wanted to share my findings. The most important thing I have learned is that when one is playing "Thomas: the Tank Engine" with one's children it is considered inappropriate to have Percy get bitten by a monkey turn into a Zombie Train and chase the other trains slowing turning each of them into a Zombies until they are stopped by Gordan and Sir Topham Hat. The parenting videos the hospital provides to new parent fails to cover this topic. I also learned Chainsaws are not as effective against Zombies as one would have thought. Below is the list of Zombie movies I watched with some comments.
1. Night of the Living Dead - Classic, everyone should see this.
2. Dawn of the Dead - I watch both the 2004 remake and the original 1978. Both were great but I pefer the classic idea of Zombies who are slow and uncoordinated as in the 1978 version.
3. Zombie Campout - Could make it through this one sober.
4. Dead Alive - This movie is deeply disturbing and the writter has some serious issues. It is a very frighting movie but not in a conventional way, but in a "what kind of person thought this up" way . If you've seen it you know what I mean. If not I would avoid this one.
5. Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, and Army of Darkness - Bruce Campbell, what a guy. The dialog in this movie is solid gold. 8. Shaun of the Dead - This is one of those cased where the spoof is better than the rest.
7. 28 Day Later - This movie is English and has Christopher Eccleston (The 9th Doctor Who). It is probably a good movie, but by this time I am suffering from Zombie burn out.
I still have Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, and Zombieland to go. Wish me luck.
By the way if do find yourself confronted with a Zombie controlled world the best place to go would be a Gun/Pie store. You'll need the Guns for obvious reasons plus you will be able to enjoy some free pie.

I have only seen Shaun of the Dead, but I'm glad that was one of the options you endorsed.
The Zombie/Rockwell project sounds intriguing. Now, if you could only get Bruce Campbell involved.
