FYI, in one of the trailers, you see a real shot of downtown (well, we have a few cool buildings). But, in another scene, you see a CGI of the modified Olympic Stadium and it is NOT close to downtown. Far from it.

I thought it was a great interesting take on the zombie apocalypse movie. I, too, am also a fan of Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland.<br /><br />Interestingly enough, since Warm Bodies isn't your typical zombie movie, I have friends and friends of friends that have either seen or plan on seeing this movie that would never watch a zombie movie in the first place because they don't like horror movies or gore or such.<br /><br />Speaking of Shaun of the Dead, I was disappointed that a fan-submitted LEGO design for the Winchester pub didn't make it all the way to production, though it did make it through the submission process. Even Simon Pegg was promoting it on Conan and he had a great quote when he made his appearance on Conan, which was "so yes parents go out and vote for this so that your kids can play with dead things"...:DMatthew Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-78347580720382605132013-02-07T18:59:33.435-05:002013-02-07T18:59:33.435-05:00Shadow, I made the crack about Edward Cullen as mo...Shadow, I made the crack about Edward Cullen as more of a joke than as a comparison. Twilight is not really a good enough model to use as a control for any kind of critique. <br /><br />I totally agree that it is more of a fantasy than a comedy, although there were several moments that made me laugh.Samantha M.

For some reason I thought it was going to be a comedy like Shawn of the Dead or Zombieland, but it's actually a lot more quirky and whimsical than that. I would almost call it a fantasy. Don't see it if you expect gore or uproarious humor, but it's a good film if you can see past those preconceptions. <br /><br />(People comparing this to Twilight are giving Stephenie Meyer too much credit. She didn't invent romance plus the supernatural. Not everything with romance plus the supernatural is Twilight. Please give the "X is Twilight" thing a long rest.)TheShadowKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073693648569864707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-4164048598167365552013-02-06T19:21:37.579-05:002013-02-06T19:21:37.579-05:00I hadn't realized he was Beast in X-Men: First...I hadn't realized he was Beast in X-Men: First Class and the kid from About a Boy. His presence (along with Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Bill Nighy, and Warwick Davis) is the reason I'm actually even marginally interested in Jack the Giant Slayer. Samantha M.
