Disappointing, compared to Shaun of the Dead.

It's a classic 50s British film and a very good one at that. Worth it
for the roster of actors. Probably not worth it for the special effects.

Not as good as Shaun of the dead, but still watchable. Wild hogs is
watchable too and William H Macy steals every scene.

Is that the old Stanley Baker film? If so, it's not stood the test of time
too well (IMO)

It's an old film, of a different time, different film making sensibility,
different social culture and that's why I like it.

Anyway this is based on a criticism from someone who feels Wild Hogs is
"watchable".

Amazing that you worked that out given that it was a 1950's film.

and that's why I like it.

And probably why I liked it in the 50's, but don't think it stood the test
of time too well (IMO).

Criticism? And there I was thinking it was just an opinion.

Indeed. Playing the part with the same muted understatement that Clive

Well blow me down with a chickens wobbler, I must be the only person
around here that thought Sean of the Dead was *not* funny. I put it
down to zombie movies being so hysterically funny anyway, it is
impossible to parody them[1].

OTOH, having watched and liked Hot Fuzz, I can see, if you're a zombie
fan, how you would have found Sean of the Dead funny. Quirky I know,
but true.

The Simpsons Movie was top quality, and wait for it, I'm not a Simpsons
fan, so I expect that to get panned by the Simpson afficianados

[1] Careful with that chainsaw Eugene.
