Alright, for the first official post, the most recent movie I’ve watched.

Diary of the Dead is a mix between Blair Witch and Resident Evil, which turned out to really work. This movie was one of the best zombie flicks I’ve seen in awhile.

It started out with a college film crew doing a shoot for a zombie flick (ironic, eh?). The news starts talking about attacks from people believed to be dead. Movie changes to tenseness between all characters, as they try and figure out what’s going on. Skip about 20 minutes into the movie, and all but two(2) of the original group are on the road in a winnebago, when they run into their first actual zombie, which turns out to be a nicely toasted state trooper.

Skip another 10 or 15 minutes, and they’re in a hospital which is empty (you never actually find out if it was due to everyone leaving or dying). Few more zombies killed, one character bitten and another one dead. Another 15 minutes skipped and we make our way to a city where the “gangsters” (or so it would seem) have taken control. The main character uploads the footage he’s been recording to myspace, argument ensues with his girlfriend -> Zombie attack.

I’m not going to go any further, as you get the gist of it. It was a good movie in my opinion. I downloaded it, but if it weren’t available via torrent, I’d still have to say purchasing it would be worth it.
