I have to say first I saw Chronicles of Riddick and then Pitch Black.
I liked Chronicles better. It was more action packed more mysterious and more
"save the universe" type of movie.
The story was good and nicely put on the big screen.

I get what they were going for. They were trying to capture the mystical allure of the game. Baseball has no clock and knows not the bounds of time. It missed the mark for me.

It was flat. You knew that it would all work out in the end. You knew that the Costner character's ridiculous faith that something magic was going to happen would be fulfilled. The happy ending was written all over the first act. I found myself sitting there waiting for it to play out with no sense of anticipation or tension.

I think it was Ray Liotta who played Shoeless Joe Jackson - the story should have focused more on his character being trapped in the void of time because of his history. Liotta is capable great performances.

I also remember that Eight Men Out came out around the same time and it was a far better film.

This is a wonderful drama where we may see perfect play of Robert de Niro. Imagine how difficult it is to play role of a diseased man! I remain impressed after I saw it for the first time.

"Oasis of the Zombies" takes what could have been a good concept for a Nazi Zombie movie and fails miserably. There isn't anything good about this turkey except for a few cool looking zombies and a little bit of female nudity. But where are the Nazi zombies?

The story details a cache of gold somewhere in the African desert that a group of treasure hunters are trying to locate. The treasure once belonged to a troop of Nazis who were transporting the gold through the desert during World War II. Even decades later, the Nazis rise from their graves to protect their precious gold from anyone who comes near it.

The movie is not only terrible but also terribly boring. Almost nothing interesting happens until the last 20 minutes. And even after the zombies actually show up it doesn't help the film in any way. The zombies which don't really resemble Nazis burrow underground like gophers and croak like frogs. Whenever someone is finally being eaten, there is hardly any gore at all. This is definitely one movie zombie fans can avoid and forget it even exists.

First film in Lucio Fulci's Gates of Hell trilogy followed by The Beyond and The House by the Cementary. Not as popular nor as gory as Fulci's Zombi II, but provides the goods with memorably shocking and nightmarish scenes.

A Priest commits suicide in a cemetery by hanging himself. In doing this, the gates of Hell are opened in a rural New England town that unleash supernatural zombies. Elsewhere, a psychic(Catriona MacColl) has a terrifying vision at a seance and presumably dies on the spot. After the funeral, the psychic awakens to realize that she has been buried alive and tries to call for help. Luckily, a reporter(Christopher George) investigating the strange death hears the cries coming from underground and rescues her from the tomb. Upon learning that everything is part of a written prophecy, the two head out to Dunwich and try to close the gates of Hell before legions of the undead take over this world.

Just like any good Italian zombie movie from the 70s and 80s, the creepy atmosphere and music alone are enough to scare the shit out of anyone. The traditional and more subtle scare tactics used here are more effective than most of today's pop culture horror bullshit. The foggy and shadowy setting of Dunwich is perfect. And still to this day, Italian zombie effects are still my favorite. The decayed, maggot infested and slow shambling traditional zombies provoke more of a psychological fear that modern zombies don't.

Fulci has earned the nickname "The Godfather of Gore" for his work, and with good reason. Not only is this film gory, but has some of the most memorable death scenes in horror movie history. Like Zombi II's unforgettable wood splinter in the eye scene, Fulci shocks us with a man getting killed by a drill through the head and a woman who cries blood and vomits out her own entrails. People are killed brutally with their brains being ripped out of their skulls and eaten by zombies.

Sadly, movies like this have died out and audiences nowadays only like their zombies on steroids. Now, it's all about annoying music video style editing and zombies that run. The supernatural elements and old-fashioned creepiness are nowhere to be found. Even though "City of the Living Dead" doesn't have a very in depth storyline, it's still has more than just the zombie apocalypse cliche, and shows some originality and attempt at being artistic. I'm still hopeful that maybe one day, old-school Italian splatter like this make a comeback.

Energetic, Scary and gory sequel to the highly successful "28 Days Later" with Juan Carlos Fresnadillo taking over directing duties for Danny Boyle.

28 weeks after the initial incident involving the deadly "Rage" virus that contaminated England, the U.S. Army declare the virus wiped out and attempt to rebuild. Refugees of the disaster return to their country and reunite with their surviving family members. However, the new utopian existense is threatened as the virus finds it's way into the safe zone and infect the majority. Now the remaining uninfected must escape before the city is destroyed to prevent the virus from getting out.

Worthy follow-up, is less character driven but delivers the scares and intensity of the first film. Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo creates a great atmosphere for the chaos and bloodshed. The safe zone and U.S. Military involvement has a heavy resemblance to America's war on terrorism in the middle east and provides the story with a bit of gritty realism.

The performances and situations are great and heighten the emotion and tension to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Most notable is Jeremy Renner as a Spec Ops Sniper.

And for those who wanted to see more action and graphically gory death scenes should be pleased as many of the infected are shot down, burned and even chopped into bloody chunks by a helicopter blade to satisfy the audience's craving for bloodshed.

Equal to and in some instances better than it's predescessor. 28 Weeks Later is an awesome sequel that not only delivers the thrills of the first but also adds more tension and insight on the virus. Highly entertaining and recommended.

Intense, scary and socially aware British Zombie masterpiece from acclaimed director Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting" and "The Beach").

When a group of animal rights activists break into a laboratory and liberate a chimp infected with the contagious virus called "Rage", the virus spreads throughout London. 28 days later, A man named Jim (Cillian Murphy) awakens from a coma to discover that all of London has been evacuated. However, as Jim wanders the abandoned city, he finds that he is not alone. The infected citizens that remain are now uncontrollably violent and zombie-like maniacs. Jim soon unites with a small group of noninfected survivors and is enlightened on the events that led to the chaos. Now, the group must escape from the quarantined city and hope that all civilization worldwide hasn't also been infected.

Although not entirely original, "28 Days Later" definitely sets itself apart from most other standard zombie films of the past. The "Rage" Virus and how it affects human beings is frighteningly realistic and could possibly happen. Unlike other films of the genre, the infected depicted here aren't exactly zombies, they are living humans that become vicious and mindless killers who act only on primal instinct. The infected are fast and can chase down their victims. Also the issues in this movie hit home especially during these times of threats of global bioterrorism that can occur when we least expect it.

The excellent cast convincingly portray realistic and sympathetic characters who must resort to primitive methods in order to survive and give this film it's humanism. We get to see character transitions that give the story a very disturbing and bleak outlook on the ugliness of human nature. And as the protagonists find other survivors, it's realized that the infected aren't the only threat.

There is a very creepy atmosphere throughout. From the empty streets of London to the countryside, these locations serve the film well in creating an ominous and unsettling backdrop for the horror. Also the tension is further heightened by the eerie music and also moments of complete silence.

When compared to other classic zombie films, "28 Days Later" lacks the graphic gore scenes that hardcore fans have come to expect. However, it still provides a really good amount of bloody deaths and strong violence that isn't over-the-top nor comical like many other horror movies.

HA! This doesn't go in the "children's movie" section... but I don't really see a "Super Awesome Amazing Movie for People of All Ages" category... so I guess this is as good as any. It's really a hilarious and moving story. Jim Varney, as always, does amazing in his role as Ernest. This was a great addition to the line of movies following Ernest P. Worrell...
