The only film I actually like of George Romero is Night of the Living Dead. 'bout it. Land of the Dead was effin' terrible.
Anyways, Bloodrayne 3? Where the hell is number 2? Why are they making more? |

Exactly. The most frustrating thing about Romero is that he's hailed as some kind of master of horror, even by critics. He's a very mediocre director at best and as for his skills as a writer, I direct you to his Resident Evil script on this site. This is truly a case of The Emperor's New Clothes. People will go on and on about his shallow "social commentary", as if having on one scene where characters liken the zombies to consumers suddenly makes the whole movie "insightful" or "important". And look at Land of the dead. Critics rejoiced that he was making a "comment" on the Iraq war, which, even at that time, EVERY movie (including Revenge of the Sith) and Battlestar Galactica had done, and done better.
George Romero is the single most overrated filmmaker in the history of time, and someone needs to point out he's naked.
Sorry. I go into rant-mode when I talk about Romero.
As for Bloodrayne and Postal, I'm ignoring them and hoping they'll go away on their own.

Let him make his money off of mindless "zombie" like fans who will buy whatever he sells them. He's got the same mojo as Lucas does but on a smaller level... Don't get me started on that George. Toran, they released Bloodrayne 2 on straight to video with a new Rayne and Zach Ward. It was boring, bad and silly. Zach Ward was the only reason to watch the film and even he was quite bland. I have heard good things about Postal. Reviews and all that are posted online. I give everyone a fair shot as far as watching goes. |

I wouldn't say ANY musical. |
Well, I will - and I'll stick by it. I think musicals belong on stage, like any other things that suck. |

I think that 80% of the movies coming out this year, shouldn't of been made. And especially movies that con me out of 11.95$. I'm too poor to afford to see crappy movies in theatres anymore.
And I agree: Romero is overrated. |

Woody Allen is by far the most, all his movies suck and he keeps on making them, I'm sure he has one coming out in 08 and I'll be sure to ignore it like the rest of the crap he has shit's out on us.
|
Woody Allen is only slightly annoying. He has, in his heyday written pretty smart dialogue. Like the "The food here is terrible, and there's not enough of it!" (paraphrasing) from Annie Hall. Romero is in a league of his own. He is not just over-rated (like Allen and Lynch and lately Wes Anderson) he's a downright bad filmmaker and writer. And unlike with Allen, many critics still haven't caught on yet. |

And talking about Wes Craven that reminds me of a movie that is coming out this year that really did not need to be made - the remake of "Last house on the left".
Why?? We Anderson is turning into a pimp just whoring out his back catalogue to anyone with a budget. How long before we see Nightmare on Elm Street remade?? Not long. |

Well, we should probably distinguish between Wes Anderson and Wes Craven.  Although Craven hasn't done anything really good since the early 80s, with the possible exception of Scream. |

Why isn't anyone mentioning Postal or Bloodrayne 3?
|
Because Postal is going to be awsome!!! Bloodrayne 3... at least it can't be as bad as part 2... ~Zack~ |

Oh dear! What can I say? Early Sat morning for me and got a bit of a hangover. If you are reading Mr Anderson I apologize for calling you a pimp, you are certainly not. Now just go off and make a sequel to Bottle Rocket will you? before Wes Craven sells the rights to a pair of Chilean goat herders with Sony DV camcorder. - Go hurry up. |

Not sure about a remake, but Michael "Dickhead" Bay and the other producers over at Platnium Dunes are re- launching the series, much as they are with the new Friday the 13th movie. There is a link over at ComingSoon.net somewhere, if you're interested in reading about it. Matt. |

I thought both were absolutely terrible. Wes Craven makes his bad guys completely over-the-top which is boring to watch. How that man still gets to make movies is beyond me. |

I thought New Nightmare was the best of the series. I mean it's not the greatest horror movie ever made, but at least it had some interesting ideas. You can tell that Wes Craven actually put some thought into the movie's plot, unlike parts five and six, that feel like someone just sat down at a typewriter and put down the first thing that came into their head.
As for The People Under the Stairs... well, the less said about it the better.
