    Yoda's Film Reviews

    If you haven’t seen the original Night of the Living Dead, than you’ll probably find the film to be boring. I brought a friend of mine over so that we can see it and he walked away ten minutes into the movie! It’s a black and gray film, can be slow at some times, and if you’re not a zombie movie fan than you won’t like it.

    Yoda's Film Reviews

    Directed By: George A. Romero Cast: Judith O’Dea, Duane Jones, Karl Hardman, Russell Streiner, Keith Wayne and Judith Ridley. Genre: Horror Length: 98 minutes Cinema: 1968 Rating: Not Rated Halloween is right around the corner and a great way to celebrate the October festivity is by enjoying a couple of old classic horror movies. And why not start the marathon with a film directed by George A. Romero? He is the man who pretty much started the zombie movies. This film managed to successfully mesh the concepts of flesh-eating zombies, isolation, and global panic realized on a claustrophobic and intimate scale. The story begins with a brother and sister, arriving at a remote cemetery to visit their mother's grave. The sister, Barbara, (Judith O'dea) sees a strange man coming toward them, and is shocked to see him attack and kill her brother. Terrified, she flees to a nearby farmhouse that appears to be abandoned, and hides inside. Soon thereafter, other people begin to show up, chief among them Ben (Duane Jones) who is the only one with a cool enough head to take charge. They barricade themselves inside the farmhouse, terrified by the increasing number of zombies outside and the news coming form the television inside, which informs them that the plague of walking dead is not just a local occurrence, but a worldwide epidemic. As the danger outside encroaches, tensions inside mount, leading to power struggles and betrayal. While the unknown cast is generally competent, with only Judith O'dea's overdone hysterics occasionally dragging things down, props go to Duane Johnson, and props to Romero for having the guts to cast a black actor as the film's protagonist in 1968. The blonde, O'dea, got top billing, but she's just a screaming piece of scenery. Johnson carries the film, and is very much the hero of the piece. Grade: B-
  3. Go Bush! (See Sig) B)
  4. I have nothing against the Cardinals or the Astros, but the Astros have never been in the World Series and just because of that I’m going to be wishing Clemens throws a hell of a game. 3-1 Houston.
  5. The Evil Empire was taken down last night and that’s something that I’m glad about. Red Sox make history by winning four strait games. Yankees= Chokers Hopefully the year 2004 is a year that will live on for the rest of Yankee history.
  6. The Red Sox have already made history by forcing Game 7 to exist. I say they go all the way and win it all. If the Yanks lose, it’ll be one of the biggest CHOKES there’s been.
  7. If the Red Sox do win this series, which they are capable of doing, then they’ll be making history. No baseball team has come back from a 3-0 deficit in the ALCS.
  8. Schilling looks good so far. He’s taking a lot of time just to make a pitch but I’m pretty sure we all understand why. He’s currently shutting the Yanks down.
  9. No to Clemens for tonight’s game. If the Astros lose today then they have a rested Clemens ready for Game 7. But if the Astros win today without Roger then they have The Rocket ready for Game 1 of the World Series. Followed by Oswalt in Game 2.
  10. I’m still amazed the Red Sox have won at least 1 game in this series. The Yankees who had a 3-0 series lead are currently choking and need to win game 6 tonight. If the Red Sox are to go to the World Series then the Yankees would definitely be the biggest CHOKERS!
  11. The Red Sox have failed miserably. I was being real optimistic before the series started saying that the Red Sox will finally stop the bleeding against the evil empire but I see that I was being a little too optimistic. They win last night’s game but it’s still a do-or-die game for today.

    Beer

    I’m 15 too and don’t have a problem with beer at all. I used to think it was nasty but ever since my dad kept telling me to try beer in a joking way, I got used to it. I don’t drink beer like every day but once every Friday I drink some.
  13. Hope you like the cake. Have a good one!
  14. Good review, Kip. Nice and short. I haven’t seen this movie but having read this makes me want to go see it. I’ll definitely try to look for this film once I’m at my video store.
  15. His season is over. Even worse, the Red Sox season could be over very shortly. Why send Schilling on 3 days rest? Or 4? I say they shut him down.
  16. Pujols may very well be my favorite player even though he’s not a White Sox. The guy is young, has lots of power and is fun to watch. Carlos Beltran is also a very good player who I’d like to see in a White Sox uniform.
