i wish joe dante would work more. i want a new good-time, full-length feature from him. i love the 'burbs, gremlins and the howling.
Land of the Dead was the weakest of his zombie flicks so far, but it still had something going for it. I think the big budget was his downfall on that one. It wasn't very dirty. It was a bit too pretty and had a bit too many big explosions. But I think the writing was there at least.
I just watched the trailer for Romero's new flick "Diary of the Dead." I'll tell ya, I'm a little worried about this one. I'm not down with this Blair Witch-type stuff. It seems people are making movies that are meant to be viewed exclusively on Youtube or on an Ipod - small, shaky, "real-ish."
Between this one and "Cloverfield," I feel like movies are heading in a direction that I just can't get excited about.
We'll see what happens. I love the hell out of "Day of the Dead" and hope George knows what he's doing.
