Danny Boyle has made
some really kick ass films. Shallow Grave, introduced us to his
greatness, which he followed up with Trainspotting which could
conceivably be on my top 10 films. The little viewed but unrespected A
Life Less Ordinary followed continuing the Trebuchet of actress Cameron
Diaz to the 20 million category. With this he followed with a movie
that originally Ewan McGreggor was pissed off at because he wasn't asked
to be in the movie after working with Boyle on his previous three motion
pictures. However considering the box office take of this flick you
might think he was thankful. Personally I liked "The Beach" but then
I'm a fucked up individual whose idea of a bad ass vacation is spending
it drunk as shit in a continuous stupor that lasts 24 hours a day each
day of the vacation.. Go to Mexico.....please, do they have terminals
for me to game on 24/7? Ok so I haven't said shaite about this
movie.......Let me retort.
28 Days Later is
a huge success. Critics have thrown it into the whole horror genre
because of the zombie like appearance of the infected. This is just so
wrong, Did Critics do that with "The Stand" or "Outbreak". No I think
fucking not, and this movie was just as successful as them if not more
so. Both the Male and Female leads in this movie are headed for
greatness, I can't think of a better performance in this type of
movie. The basis of this movie is a bunch of tree hugging ass wipes
break into a monkey lab to "free"/"kill" a bunch of lab monkeys. Why
know what they're actually doing there, just release the mother
fuckers......Needless to say this is one of those labs where they're
working on cures for diseases that aren't mainstream yet and end up
killing about 99.9% of England. Good job assholes, why couldn't you
have done France instead? I realize an island is a lot easier to
quarantine but still the frogs deserve it more. So at the beginning we
have a guy whose been in a coma in a hospital from a previous accident
who awakes after "28 days" of the outbreak. They do have 2 extra
endings to this movie, however neither is as good as the original so I
salute Boyle in his decision. |
