Shaun Of The Dead

Forget "28 Days Later." Forget "Dawn Of The Dead - '04". If you're a black-wearin' ghoul like me, you love your zombies and splatter. "Shaun Of The Dead" is well-acted, well-written, absolutely hysterical, occasionally gory ala "Dead Alive" and even touching at times. Believe the hype - this is the best zombie movie in 25 years (and the entrail-removal scene is a perfect homage to Romero's "Day Of The Dead"). Kudos to the Brits across the pond who cooked this one up - It's. Awesome.

Just one complaint... how could Shaun and Ed waste a vinyl copy of Sade's "Diamond Life" in their initial attempt to fend off one of the undead? Now that's tasteless!
