I can't believe I put off seeing Dawn of the Dead (2004 version) this long.  It was pure awesome.  Honestly, I'm not sure if I can pick which one I like better.  There are some differences, and in a way it's not fair to compare them since they were made over 25 years apart.....  Either way, both are high-quality films.  Now I need to get off my butt and finally see Day of the Dead.

I didn't like Day of the Dead very much, but I only got to see it on the Scifi channel so I'd probably like it more if I actually saw the movie on VHS or DVD.  But Dawn of the Dead was just full of awesomeness.  

I thought it was pretty good too. I saw it a couple weeks ago. I liked the cameo by Tom Savini and wasn't the guy who had the line from the poster to poseted the guy from the original Night of the Living Dead? or was he from the original Dawn?

The closing credits were pretty creepy. though **spoiler** I kind of wish "someone" would have made it.

I was watching Van Helsing last night and it had the trailer for Shaun of the Dead. looks interesting, was that any good?

Shaun of the Dead is definitely worth seeing.  When it came out, a lot of people were hyping it up a ton.  The "romantic comedy with zombies" sounded hilarious.  Don't expect much from that line, because the "romantic comedy" part really isn't significant in any way that a couple isn't in any zombie movie.  But, as a zombie movie it is really good - formulaic, but a lot of fun to watch.  I think I gave it an 8/10 on the IMDB.  I definitely recommend seeing it.

dawn of the dead is real good... both of them.

Land of the Dead looks interesting.  I will have to see it as soon as it comes out.

I saw the City of the dead screen shots in game informer a few weeks ago and it looks awesome and i know Romero is working on City of the Dead but I don't know if the other guy is.

I loved the part when the where naming famous people and killing them.

"Rosie O'Donnel"
"Naw to easy"

:laugh:

So what do you think happened at the end? Did everone die?

they never actually showed anyone who left on the boat dying but it certainly appeared as though they did. I only saw it once, maybe I missed something.

[hidden style=1 title=Hidden Text] Yeah, everyone dies.  Everyone.  So, it should be TraderJake's favorite movie. [/hidden]

I also still need to watch Shaun of the Dead...only heard good things about it...Dawn of the Dead was not too bad...I also thought House of the Dead was pretty funny to watch...very original with its random "action" flashes from House of the Dead II (Dreamcast)! ;)

the funniest thing about House of the Dead was how a bunch of punk kids going to a rave suddenly  become weapons and martial arts experts once the zombies attack.

plus it had Clint Howard.

Since when do Zomies run that fast.

if Carl Lewis was a zombie I suspect he'd be quite fast. If i were a zombie I would be slow.

Good point.

Oh man, House of the Dead makes my head explode over and over.  When they all got to the part where they did about ninety Matrix-style freeze-frame wrap-arounds (All aboard the Hyphen Express!  Choo chooooooo!!!!!!!), I wanted to kill the director, editor, and everyone else that was involved.

All of the dead movies are great stuff (Night, Day, Dawn there my "holy trilogy" tho I guess no its a quadrilogy, I own ever version that has come out on dvd import/US)) I really cant wait for Land of the Dead.

I can't wait for land of the dead either.  I'm going to go see it opening day.
