I have never been a huge fan of foreign films, although when it comes to horror I am a little more open minded, as with Shaun of the Dead, which I liked almost immediately, and Dead Alive, which took a little more time to like (I had to get past the accents.) Not that I am opposed to accents, but rather the sense of humor found in foreign films is not quite on the same plane as mine, meaning either I am too dense to “get it” or it’s too Monty Python (which I can’t stand.)
B-movies.
Who doesn’t love B-movies? With their D-list actors delivering solid B characters, and a cheese factor that would make any wine lover drool…. Who cares if the story line is unrealistic and downright ridiculous? I for one don’t; I enjoy the hell out of it!

George A. Romero is one of my favorite directors.
He has a fetish for zombies much like I do, and that usually translates to a good film.
Can the same be said for Diary of the Dead?
Texas Chainsaw IV (cuz 3 wasn’t enough!)

Back in 1994 a couple of no names decided to hook up with an equally no name low budget writer (Kim Henkel) who decided to make his directorial debut with yet another installment in the Chainsaw series. I might also add that this debut was his ONLY directorial effort.
Never heard of him? Neither have I. But I have heard of the two no name actors in this installment: Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger. Talk about a weird combination!

Here we have college kids trying to fit in and trying to get laid, picking on nerdy kids, and providing the gratuitous boob shots that have become a staple of B-movie worthiness.
The acting was laughable, the cast was mostly no name actors, the script was so obviously memorized….
This was turning out to be a GREAT movie!
As some of you may have noticed, I have an appreciation for the “female species.” Most recently I sang praises to Angelina Jolie - and deservedly so. This next show of appreciation for the female “stud” is Jessica Alba. 
You want blood? It’s in here.
You want gore? Yeh - we got that, too.
You want non-stop zombie action? Then pop this baby into your DVD - it’s guaranteed to satisfy!
ok. So time for one more confession. I’m a big Brendan Frasier fan.
Now I know what you are thinking. He is no Brad Pitt, and you might have a point there but I have a thing for guys with a sense of humor, who know how to really laugh…. Brad Pitt cheats on his wife.
Enough said.
Typically I am not a fan of movies that provide gore just for the sake of shock effect. Usually in these cases the gore is lamely executed or the story line is exceptionally weak.
It’s also in these cases that I find myself annoyed or disgusted, all too aware that the movie is trying to make up for an extremely poor plot by providing mass quantities of blood and innards and gore (think Cabin Fever.)
While surfing the web as it seems I always do (I lead such an exciting life) I ran across a quiz that I excelled at (otherwise I’d be really embarrassed) and I thought it would be fun to see how you guys do.
Now this is not the same quiz I found. I changed up some answer options to make it more to my liking….
