Evan Almighty:
I'm a fan of Steve Carrell and, of course, Morgan Freeman and the 1st "Almighty" movie was pretty good too but the first was more of a chick flick love story and the 2nd was more of a save the world family movie. I thought they went away from the original character that Steve played and added to him a family that seemed a little strange. Add to that the liberal use of the flood story for the sake of telling a pretty unamusing story. Not a bad or terrible movie by any stretch of the imagination but definitely not a great movie by any stretch either.
Altogether i was entertained but i'm not rushing out to buy this movie or anything.

28 weeks later:
Let me start off by saying I thought 28 days later was a very good, borderline, GREAT movie and that when I heard they were making a sequel I was disappointed and yet still excited. I knew this was going to be one of those either really cool movies that was made b/c they actually had come up with a great secondary storyline to follow the original or one of those really stupid movies that was forced into production b/c the 1st was a hit and they wanted to make more money. This was kind of a combination of the those but with a lean on the "hey, let's make more money" approach.
So someone actually is immune to becoming a zombie apparently and it runs in the blood (much like the virus). blah blah blah, mom and the kids now have to try and survive another zombie outbreak with not nearly as intense action or suspense as the original. After an hour and a half of the same plot twists as a 15 year old could come up with i wasn't as pleased with this movie as I would have liked.

Death Proof:
This was the 1st of the grindhouse double feature that Terintino and Rob Rodgieuz (sp? for both) made...
I'm just gonna come out and say it... this movie was terrible. I mean really bad. It dragged as a plot and the action scenes weren't very interesting and I know they were trying to be different in the cinematography and the editing (and they succeeded in this and it was cool to watch) but they also failed miserably in putting a good movie on the screen...
I did end up watching the 2nd part of hte double feature later, but you'll have to wait for another SAR for that one
Shoeless Rating: A HALF AND ONLY A HALF!
