It is technically solid, with great cinematography and a fresh look...so I give this a good 07/10.

Recommended to Alky, Rod, urge, newb, jenna, Styg, Austin, Elvis and the fans of atmospheric stuff.
Already seen it. It was pretty good. Good acting and decent story.

Ahhh.... What a welcome breath of fresh air this film was. Original, stylish, funny, gory, well-acted, well-directed... What more could you want? This is one of the best zombie movies to come out in a while, probably since Shaun of the Dead.

I Now Pronouce You Chuck and Larry

It's official. Adam Sandler is no longer anywhere near as funny as he once was. This movie is one cliche gay joke after another for 90 minutes. While there are a handful of funny parts, this is FAR from being a funny movie. The King od Queens guy just isn't funny and Sandler seems like he's really just run out of jokes. The plot is predictable and slow paced, the jokes are hit or miss. It's always fun to see the cameos from the cast of Sandler regulars (Rob Schneider, Steve Buscemi, etc...) but even those were decidedly less funny than usual. Overall, save your cash and your time and skip this one.

Ratatouille

I'm a big fan of Patton Oswalt, but this movie was really geared towards little kids too much for me to get in to it. Physical comedy in an animated film is absolutely retarded unless you are under the age of 5 and there's TONS of it in this one. The story was okay, the acting was fine, the CGI looked great, but overall I just didn't find this entertaining at all. Maybe if I was 6 years old or younger...

Knocked up is one of the funnier movies I've seen in awhile.
