What the hell is a RomComZom? A romantic comedy with zombies (as it says on the poster!) Not only is it the first..it's probably the last because this movie is virtually fucking perfect. There are some minor flaws but overall "Shaun of the Dead," has to be one of my favorite recent comedy flicks. Maybe it's the British humor? I have no clue but it's WONDERFUL.
If you remember the trailers for this movie they are misleading as to how damn funny this movie is. From what I can remember the trailers show some of the good scenes but for me it seems like they put the spotlight on most of the lame jokes. Due to this I was very uninterested in the film until someone I know recommended it to me. I was blown away by it when I watched it because most of the comedy in the movie was MUCH smarter then what was shown in the trailers.
How's the acting? Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Kate Ashfield all play their roles perfectly. In fact, everyone in this movie does a great job. Every single one of them.
Direction, good..the camera work is great. There's a great scene that happens twice just with a different enviornment where Shaun (Simon Pegg) walks to a convenience store down the street from his house and back. Both scenes are all one shot and it's done perfectly. They're really great scenes and both unique.
Finally..I want to point out that this movie has an awesome soundtrack and probably uses a Queen song in one of the coolest and most perfect ways possible. I won't spoil it if you haven't seen the movie but it's perfect and another great scene from the movie.
I've seen "Shaun of the Dead," at least 4-5 times and I still love every second of it. There are even some jokes you won't catch until your 3rd or 4th time viewing it which makes the repeated viewings even better. If you haven't seen it definately check it out.
Numerical Review: 8 out of 10.
IMDB link for "Shaun of the Dead."
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have a new movie that will be coming out soon called "Hot Fuzz," which looks like it's going to be just as good as"Shaun of the Dead." Check out the trailers for "Hot Fuzz," here!
Also! In case you missed it check out my previous post for a link to the leaked Pre-Trailer that has real footage of Venom in it! There's also a .gif of the footage which is good to glance at too. Whoever made it screwed around a bit with the colors it looks like and it's much easier to see. Not to mention slower moving so you can really get a good glimpse of Venom's look.

I loved Shaun of the Dead! Great movie.
I finally rented Click-- I never intended to, but I think I read hear on your blog that you liked it, so I checked it out. Not too bad. It was actually good!
Happy Thanksgiving!
