Newest and Oldest The Crazies Trailer(s)

I've seen a couple of trailers for "The Crazies" remake. This third one that's embedded into this post seems to be the most effective, while not giving away too much of the movie. The movie is a remake of the exactly titled: "The Crazies", by George A. Romero. Breck Eisner is directing this iteration of the movie and that's Timothy Olyphant in the lead role. The movie is coming out this year, so look out for it. For comparison purposes, I've also included (below) the original's trailer from 1973. See which one you like better.

Clip of the Dead

I'm getting excited about zombies again. Sure, "Diary of the Dead" wasn't as good as anyone of us could have hoped for. Which is why it's so important for "Survival of the Dead" to be good. This is Romero's next zombie flick, and here's a clip that, while not entirely action packed, does give me a glimmer of hope that this movie will be worth my 10 or so dollars per ticket. Check this out, let me know what you think.

Quarantine Trailer

"Quarantine" is not a movie I've heard of until now. Thanks the guys over at Analog Medium, I now know this movie is coming out this year. Those guys have their fingers on the zombie pulse. How they found a pulse to begin with is a mystery. This movie is in the same vein as "The Blair Witch Project" and, more recently, George A. Romero's "Diary of the Dead". That film was fun but flawed. I'm thinking "Quarantine" will give us some fun zombie action, but in the end, will be fundamentally flawed. All of these "found footage" movies (I'm looking at you too "Cloverfield") are enjoyable, but end up missing the cinematic tour-de-force that they want to be. Fuck it . . . Zombies! I'm watching it.

"Diary of the Dead" is a movie that I am definitely looking forward to seeing this year. I didn't think that I would actually see the trailer for it on a MySpace page (ugh, I feel a little icky. Like I have e-VD or something), but whatever. I'll do anything for Romero zombie action. I've noticed that the "found film" genre is resurfacing after being absent since "The Blair Witch Project". Both this movie and "Cloverfield" are hoping to cash in on our forgetting of how sub-par that first movie to catapult this into our consciousness actually was. Maybe I'm over thinking this. Fuck it, it's Romero and in my eyes, when it comes to zombies, he can do no wrong.

Amy Winehouse is Stylin'

I guess it takes a certain style sensibility to walk around in a pair of jeans and a bra that I don't have. Not that I would wear a bra to begin with. My man-cans are not all that well developed. But, that's not really relevant. Amy Winehouse, on the other hand, does have that style going on, but she adds another layer to it by looking like a homeless zombie in the process. She could, with a little movie-magic make-up, actually be dropped into any movie George A. Romero might be directing right now and she would fit right in. Instead of brains or human flesh, she might be seeking drugs, but she does have the zombie look down. One more picture to haunt your nightmares.

New Romero Zombie Flick - "Diary of the Dead"

George A. Romero is a zombie movie-making genius. I love it when he takes on the genre and blows my mind with it. His new movie concept, while sounding a bit on the . . . well . . . how can I put it without disparaging a personal hero of mine. OK, I'm just coming out and saying it . . . The idea is "Romero zombies + Blair Witch Project". Yeah, it's a bit iffy, but I have complete confidence in the execution. Here's a couple of pictures from the movie's MySpace page. I'm digging the zombie state trooper.

I'm such a fanboy sometimes.
