World War Z.....FINALLY!!!!

Hello Friends,


Shaking with anticipation, waiting with bated breath World War Z has finally come to theaters nation and world wide!!!

Now before you see the film you need to know a few things:

1. It's different from the book..as it should be! The book was written in a interview sort of way with a ton of information. And it worked as a novel! A movie? Not so much

2. Max Brooks, the author, is a genius and you need to read all of his books. Right now. World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide are amazing.

3.Max Brooks dad is Mel Brooks so that makes him awesome


The film begins with the Lane family, who live in Philadelphia with their children, as they embark on a regular day. However, it quickly takes a turn for the worst during rush hour. Massive amounts of super human undead are ravaging anyone they can get their hands on. As the Lanes try to make sense of what's happening, Gerry Lane (played by Brad Pitt) calls in an favor...that favor being the General Ambassador to the U.N. They get air lifted and taken to safety on a remote military ship, where Gerry finds out the only reason he and his family were saved was because they need him to investigate this global epidemic, as the point of origin is unknown a.k.a no patient zero Now trying not to spoil anything, suffice it to say much more happens. There! Tight lipped!

I really enjoyed this film, not only because it had a great cast consisting of Brad Pitt,Mirelle Enos and ever so talented Pierfrancesco Favino as a doctor, but this was a rare example of a zombie movie because at the center of it is what the human spirit can do when presented with chaos and destruction. You either rise above it and help others, or you drown under the swells of the masses. There was a lot of heart in this film and it showed the good and bad sides of human nature.

Okay, lets talk Zombies! These undead mutants are in a category all their own. They were fast,slow,terrifying, hilarious and plain savage. Drawn to noise instead of blood, they become dormant if silence is around them. That's why the major cities fell first.  The creatures also made interesting vocal sounds that reminded me of the vampires in 30 Days of Night. The close up shots of the Zombies were great and some really good F/X make-up was showcased. But the wide shots left the audience wanting, they looked like a bad video game version of a zombie hoard. Some of the more in your face-jump out at you scares were really clever and good, but over all I wouldn't consider it to be a "scary" or "horror" film. Its a film that features every facet of human beings trying to make sense of mass hysteria, it the best way Hollywood can.

I extremely recommend that you go and see this film (Pitt makes a homemade bayonet!).

P.s. rumors of two more sequels....perhaps you should keep that in mind?

Keep Watching and Don't Get Bitten!
