Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrve
CTWF... Absolute BRILLIANT filmmaking. The only other movie of his that I've seen was 8 1/2 Women... It was... Ok... I felt as though it was just absurdist artsie crap. I might be too harsh on it, but it just came across as self-indulgent.
I'll have to check out his other stuff, though.

FINALLY got around to seeing
American Zombie and I thought that it was great. I would say that it's probably more "dark comedy" than actual "horror," but I thought that it was a blast. I was wary about a mockumentary at first, but ultimately I think it's a good addition to the Zombie genre and a must-see for all zombie fans. Definitely more low-key than the usual zombie fare, but it works. Highly recommended.
4.5/5
It's not a perfect movie but it's refreshing and different.
