Re: The Dead
Elvis - I totally get why you enjoyed it and, honestly, I recommend it to a lot of folks on here who are into old school Romero zombies (like I think that V, Disease, Despare, and Fortunato would really dig this film, for example). It almost feels like it should have been made in the earlier 90s instead of the abysmal Land of the Dead - It's definitely a good addition to the slow-moving Romero zombie collection. Having that in mind, it seems out of time since it actually came out in 2010. I don't think that I was in the mood for it, to be honest... Or maybe I just don't like that zombie genre? It's possible... For zombie fans on here, though, I do think you should check this out.

Re: Quarantine and Quarantine 2
I think that I'm definitely in the minority, here, but I actually liked Quarantine slightly more than [REC], mostly because of the ending (I preferred Quarantine's ending to [REC]'s)... Don't get me wrong; [REC] was great; Quarantine just edged it out slightly.
Straker and V, thanks for the reviews on Quarantine 2 - It's currently on Netflix Instant so I'll probably check it out sooner rather than later; Just wondering what you guys thought.
I really liked [REC]2; I really did (though the boyfriend thought it was a waste of film... I liked how it built off of the first movie. Definitely well-done and it evolved in a way that I thought was creepy.

Re: Chronicle
V! YES! This movie is SO GOOD! Glad that you saw it and loved it - It's subtle, well-done, and has a fantastic build up and a great climactic scene. Tight acting and directing and I really thought it was refreshingly original... It's actually getting some pretty good reviews (Rotten Tomatoes, Roger Ebert, etc.), so I was surprised that more people on here haven't seen it yet.
