I'd say 2 1/2 is a fair amount of spin kicks, and while I liked the film, it would not have made my top ten of the year. Maybe if I were to only do a top ten horror?<br /><br />Stine: And you better tell us which side you're on!<br /><br />Shawn: Definitely a surprise, and like I said, I thought nothing of it until it started getting decent reviews...even then I had pretty low expectations. <br /><br />POT: Oh snap, a knife fight between Cortez and Emily? I gotta go home for supper...<br /><br />You do have a point about the rules they set and the fact that they break them seems off. While I would like to believe my theory true, it would seem one would only come up with those rules after going through a situation that would force those rules to be made.Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-74370127982831633432010-07-29T08:13:44.252-04:002010-07-29T08:13:44.252-04:00Emily, I will fight you, keeeeeeeaaaaaaawwwwwww!
...Emily, I will fight you, keeeeeeeaaaaaaawwwwwww!<br /><br />Some good points from you and Matt. And I'd like to believe in the pre-apocalypse timeframe and them still holding on to their humanity. But as Jaded metioned, they set rules for themselves. Had they not already done this through experience then this angle could have worked. As it stood, they DIDN'T follow their own rules and at this point, the film lost credibility with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-64182439301620937202010-07-29T02:10:58.144-04:002010-07-29T02:10:58.144-04:00Loved this one, one of my biggest surprises of 09....Loved this one, one of my biggest surprises of 09.Savage, Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619390328291830570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-39547615645087546462010-07-29T00:50:09.374-04:002010-07-29T00:50:09.374-04:00Omg, so much wonderful discussion.

I think...Well, Emily took the words as they say...<br /><br />I think the group try and set up these "rules" to have a foundation, then when they meet that father and daughter, there humanity gets in the way. As time goes on, and the risk of getting sick becomes greater, they loose their humanity and skin begins to thicken. by time they get to the two sexy ladies, Star Trek dude is all for himself and his family. <br /><br />As for the ending, it was whatever, nothing original or great, but serviceable I suppose. <br /><br />One thing I loved about the film was the fact that it told stories without telling them. One moment in particular, the crew drive through a town and on by a pet shop where the camera repositions itself. What you see for a brief second is animals in that pet shop moving around, thus telling the viewer that only humans are susceptible to this infection. Is it important, maybe, but I love that it wasn't said, it was shown. <br /><br />But this is definitely a film that would get some varied reactions for sure...and it does have its flaws, even if I enjoyed it, so I can see why someone wouldn't like it.Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-44708053140189652832010-07-28T22:01:24.391-04:002010-07-28T22:01:24.391-04:00I continue to disagree with the PoT!

We watch the leads BECOME the kind of villains we're used to in more extreme stories, and for me that made this a genuinely fresh tale.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-23007441453654234282010-07-28T21:40:01.535-04:002010-07-28T21:40:01.535-04:00This just depressed me, the hopelessness of the wh...This just depressed me, the hopelessness of the whole thing.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085105568601878075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-31599033401766683912010-07-28T20:31:10.888-04:002010-07-28T20:31:10.888-04:00With respectful opposition, I hated this film.

For the sole reason of the group saving the father and kid and not doing what any rational person would do: either cap them or leave them on the side of the road. In times of crisis isn't it about self-preservation? That notion is shown when the guy shoots the car of religious-type gals in an attempt to get more gas. I felt like the film didn't know what it wanted to be at this point.<br /><br />And the ending was terrible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
