Shaun of The Dead

Directed by Edgar Wright and starring the always funny Simon Pegg. This movie does what most of us think about when watching traditional zombie movies. I mean come on, they're slow, why not chuck records at their heads while waiting for them to eat you. If you love zombie movies you have to see this one!

Zombieland

Directed by Ruben Fleischer and starring the 420 loving Woody Harrelson. Zombieland is slated to be the funniest zombie movies ever. Only reason it's ranked #2 is because it's not yet viewable to the general public. No spoilers here but forget flipping burgers, go zombie hunting.

Planet Terror

Written and directed by the genius Robert Rodriguez and starring omg Rose McGowan. In classic Rodriguez style this movie kills the characters that deserve to die and shows characters don't have to be ex-marines to be a zombie killing hero. It's a must see zombie comedy.

For Your
Information

FIDO

FIDO was directed by Andrew Currie and stars Carrie-Anne Moss who played Trinity from the Matrix franchise. Who says zombies don't make good pets. This movie lets you know if zombies existed corporations would find a way to exploit them. The entire movie may not be lol, but it has its moments.

Dawn Of The Dead-Remake

Directed by Zack Snyder, original screenplay by the master George A. Romero and starring Ving Rhames always a bad ass. There are just a few hilarious scenes in this movie but it's still funny. A little girl that eats her Dad, you know that's classic.

Braindead

Directed by Peter Jackson the producer of District 9, The Lord of the Rings franchise and currently executive producer for "Halo" the movie based on the blockbuster video game. The main characters antics make up for the lack of production value. Most people think their parents are zombies anyway, this movie just shows what they would really be like as the undead.

Sars Wars

Directed by who the hell knows and starring some Thai people. This movie is low budget and cheesy but manages to leave you laughing. It's hard to find but it's still better then the reality shows on TV.

Zombie Holocaust

Directed by Marino Girolami and starring Conan O'Brien, oh never mind its Donald O'Brien. Probably would have been funnier with Conan. Anyway, this is another movie that is funny because it's so cheesy. Don't waste your time on the movie just watch the trailer, all the best scenes are in it.

I would say Dance of the Dead as well. I rented it, knowing it would be cheesy, but I seriously laughed the whole way through it. Zombies that are stopped by hard rock music? Nickelback wouldn't stand a chance.

two words: Zombie Strippers. It's campy, stupid, full of naked porn stars, and has some pretty damn good gore. I also third the motion of "Evil Dead" not being a zombie movie. Same thing goes for "28 Days/Weeks Later", in case it comes up.

by dsfdsfj at September 18, 2009 17:38

I would argue that Evil Dead is not a zombie movie, so much as it's a possession/horror movie. The kids are possessed by spirits, they're not turned into zombies. That said, it's still a fantastic cult classic and I applaud any publicity it receives.

by IHateEverything at March 05, 2010 02:14

I second the motion. 'Evil Dead' is about as much of a zombie movie as 'The Exorcist'.

Top 10 Reasons You Don't Understand Anime

There are a myriad of reasons why lots of manga are hard to grip by people who have an "anchor to reality", just like there are people who can’t grasp Philip Glass’s music, or an abstract painting. But for some reason people often scream and shout about Anime being completely mind-bleedingly incomprehensible, and to an Anime geek (or an "Otaku", if you fancy that term) it's almost strange wondering why people can’t understand

This list is targeted for a specific sort of anime/manga, and is not supposed to be a blanket statement for all manga. This is specifically for "Shonen" manga and anime.

If you get confused by Naruto, Bleach, Dragon Ball Z and other action anime you might find a few a reasons why that is—however, if you're looking for how to understand FLCL, Yakitake Japan, and Super Milk Chan… well I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until I describe why Japanese humour is so great.

If all of these words are basically Japanese to you, it's because they are.

Toy developers have to come up with enough ideas every day to quench the unrelenting need of kids to have more "stuff".

Here are 11 horribly offensive and bad toys for kids that make us second guess the entire children's toy industry -- and their therapists.

Fave TV shows of past 10 years

Updated 8.29.10 - Mad Men climbs (I am only halfway thru the current season). Big Love drops majorly after a terrible, terrible season. Love Glee but hate American Idol-like autotune musical covers. Heroes last season was so bad I question whether they should stay even in the lower rings of this list. Had to move Survivor up a bit as well after a number of great seasons in a row after all these years. Updated 2.10.10 - movement on the chart - Mad Men Season 3 sold me hook line and sinker. . . and Big Love this season has been a bit too over the top, hopefully it will reign itself back in... and this list has now basically become "Best TV shows of the Decade". In my 20s i watched very little TV, and it's hard to compare old shows/shows i watched as a youth (when you are a bored kid, Charles Nelson Reilly on Match Game qualifies as entertainment) to current fare, so this isn't really an "alltime" list - but it's pretty close. i fear that the golden age of TV may have been approx 2000 - 2007 or so (mainly because HBO was on an unsustainable streak), but hopefully will be proven wrong. I did love a few shows in the 80s (St Elsewhere, Hill Street Blues, M*A*S*H) and early 90s (LA Law and Seinfeld), but honestly that is probably about it. I also find i have a hard time watching any show with a laugh track nowadays, which probably unfairly biases me towards the last 10 years of TV. The reason the ratings are all clustered so high is because i am not listing the many shows i tried watching a few shows of and bailed on. So this list is basically every TV series I have watched at least a full season of since i got DirecTV, except perhaps for a few that i watched a season or so of and got cancelled to a level where I forgot. I would also like to point out that a list like this brings up some general Ranking questions - for example, is it fair to combine cable shows (less episodes needed, more leeway with the sensors) with network shows. Should a show like The Simpsons - which I think very few longtime fans would disagree ain't what it used to be, but certainly doesn't suck - get punished because, well, they have done over 400 episodes, and they are bound to run out of ideas. Food for thought, eh?
