Saw BATTLE FOR LOS ANGELES and loved the simplicity of the premise and the military perspective (hey Jonathan Liebesman, now do the same with zombies–adapt TOOTH AND NAIL!). Great action, effects. Loved it. But: The shaking cam made it almost impossible to see what was going on in the first half. Then the story appeared to keep stopping and starting. Would have worked better with calmer cam and 1 story arc imho.
Jeff Carlson’s PLAGUE Trilogy
Great trailer for Jeff Carlson’s PLAGUE YEAR. His PLAGUE series is hands down one of the best, if not the best, post-apocalyptic trilogy I ever read.
Great Film: SEVEN DAYS IN MAY
While looking through some old movies on YouTube I found this gem: SEVEN DAYS IN MAY starring Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas and other greats. The movie is about a military coup plot in the U.S. in the 1960s. One of the best movies ever. It appears that you can watch the entire movie on YouTube (I did not verify all of the clips, though)–check it out.
DARK DAYS: Meet The Mole People Of Manhattan
Meet the mole people of Manhattan, apparently a vanishing civilization due to new security measures. Here’s the first 10 minutes of DARK DAYS, a great documentary I caught some time back when I was living in New York. I suppose after the zombies scrub the planet clean of human life these people will be the future of humanity.
