new at yellow menace

My review of George A. Romero's latest zombie film, Land of the Dead, which was released on DVD today, is now posted at Yellow Menace.

...that review kinda strays too far into the realm of synopsis, man.

Seriously, if I hadn't seen the movie already, I wouldn't want to after I read that review.

By Thomas Wilde, at 1:38 PM

Sorry you felt that way. I thought it was a balance between synopsis and commentary, obviously, or I wouldn't have written it that way. Really, I nly describe the first act in any detail (and come on...is it supposed to be a surprise that the zombies get in?

That said, when reviewing I intend to make the reader want to see the film. I would hope that the praise I heaped on the film would be interesting, at least to horror fans. So again, I'm sorry you felt that way.
