Nasty Habits I was also disappointed in it. There were great parts, but it sort of descended into a really boring zombie movie by the "climax". The final scenes redeemed it somewhat, but I thought it wore out its welcome.

The scene where they throw records at zombies was hilarious, though.

Gimme Shelter I thought it was great.

Sir Stonesalot I give it a B-.

It would have been a C- except for the aforementioned record zinging scene.

Let's put it this way, for a $3.00 rental, it's good. However, if I would have paid $8.00 to see it in the theatre...I'd have felt ripped off. And I DEFINATELY wouldn't pony up $20.00 to buy the DVD.

corgi37 Best British film since Lock, stock & 2 smoking barrels. I adored it. It had everything (except tits, now that i think of it. It could have done with some nice page 3 girl style tits!).

The dvd isnt out here yet, but i will 100% be getting it. Sean had so many great scenes. One of my faves was when they were rehearsing how to act like a zombie. That cracked me up. And when the fat guy was talking on his mobile outside the pub, whilst surrounded by zombies.

The dvd looks like it has so many brilliant extras. Though, wether the Oz version had them all, i'll have to wait and see. Or, buy the U.K. version.

And, speaking of zombies, the Grand daddy of the genre, George A Romero has finished his long awaited new flick LAND OF THE DEAD. It it supposed to open in October. Man, i cant wait!

Also cant wait for the new edition of Cumdrippers, and any new WIFEY clip. That Wifey sheila is superb!

Factory Girl Thanks everyone. I bought the dvd dual pack (Shaun & Dawn of the Dead (remake)) for $15.

BTw, how is Dawn?? TIA!

Sir Stonesalot Dawn of the Dead is classic stuff. And it wasn't made that far from my house. DotD alone is worth the $15.00.

My fave zombie movie is "Return of the Living Dead", but mostly for the soundtrack. The scene where the zombies eat all the cop's brains and then one zombie gets on the cop radio and says "Send more cops." is one of the finest moments in zombie movie history. Fantastic stuff.
