So, the time has come for my annual Zombie movie holiday tomorrow

What should I watch? Rewatch one of the classics? See a really oldie I haven't seen yet (White Zombie with Bela Legosi)? See something newer I haven't had the chance to see yet (Fido or Dead Snow--Nazi Zombies can't be bad, right)?

Any other suggestions?

but quite honestly, cable will be such a total gag-a-thon of pious crapola that I'd be sorely tempted to join you.

Instead, I've been saving Les Miserables and The Life of Pi and will watch those, instead.

It was great. Some of the singing is a tad rough, but the production value is so great, I was willing to give pass. Some of the performances are stunning.

to play Jean Valjean. If you're going to have someone front and center in a musical, it seems that you'd want him to be able to sing.

After they get through running all the Easter epics, they are running Pedro Costa's 2000 "In Vanda's Room."

Looking forward to that tonight.

Doesn't fit the theme of my day though. But now you have me thinking I should watch that again, too.

It's more clever and funny than it is scary. If you're in the mood for that sort of thing, definitely check it out.

Plus, I love Billy Connolly.

Just a zombie fan, I guess. Scary and funny and both are all good.

Well, sort of.

I give you White Tiger. You may want to give it right back...

Certainly not your average WWII flick, though.

A 2012 Russian-German co-production (!!!), it's the story of a mysterious white Tiger tank that appears out of nowhere, destroys whole Russian tank formations, then vanishes.

Bonus Skeptic Points - includes a very...original (and hilarious) (ab)use of Darwin's theories.

"Totally lame and totally cool." Yep, that pretty much sums it up.

Fans of Sophisticated Theology will REALLY enjoy the explanation of the "Panzer God."



The battle scenes are generally very well done, with lots of interesting vintage tanks and military hardware running around. I believe the producers had the backing of the Russian government, which may explain that.
