Just watched "Frankensteins army " on Sky anytime. This film makes "Plan 9 from outer space" look a classic . Absolute dross. I will give it 1 / 10, just for the fact they got somebody to act in this film.

1 out of 10 IMHO is being generous.

I like horror films and B movies. That film took it to a level i rarely remember going down too before.

The Master - had this on the Sky box for ages and finally got around to watching it; a good turn from Philip Seymour Hoffman, as was always the case, but Joaquin Phoenix spends the whole film, by turns, either mumbling or over-acting.

Not much to say about the story - troubled soul falls in with Scientology type cult, but it disappeared up its own jacksie for me; not much to recommend this one.

4/10

Kick ass 2 - A lot darker than the first film, more violent, and twisted than the first, but on the whole it wasn't as good as the first IMO - 7/10

The Grandmaster - Chinese martial arts epic about Ip man. Well acted, and superb cinematography, some good fight scenes, but again there's something missing from this to put it in the 'Hero'/'Crouching tiger' class IMO - 7.5/10

I love kick ass, adult humour in superhero film. Both films great for me.

If you liked Kick Ass then I would recommend a film called "Super" which was a low key release in 2010.

It stars Rainn Wilson, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon and Ellen Page, where the lead character plays a vigilante masked hero, and I actuallly enjoyed it dark and violent humour much more than Kick Ass.

Its been on Film 4 a few times over the last year too.

I'd second that - it's darker, scuzzier and funnier than Kick Ass in my view; a cracking movie.

There's nothing wrong with fast zombies. Now, zombies who ignore diseased humans because they don't want their precious gene pool infected I do have a problem with. If you don't want to make this human into a zombie because of his disease you don't just leave him, you chop his head off.

You are wrong

Zombies equal the living dead. So therefore they should not be able to be reanimated with powers above and beyond what they had in their previous lives. ( the only exception is they can only be killed a second time by destroying the brain or brain stem).

If they die, become Zombies and then all return and have super human strength, speed and climbing ability they have been re animated as not the living dead but Living dead super heroes.

If the book had been caled WWZ super heroes i would have accepted it ( reluctantly)
