Ever see Joe Dante's "Homecoming"?
I just watched this last night - great zombie story for those of us on the left. Even Anne Coulter (She's called Anne Cleaver in this flick) gets hers.

The premise is simple: zombie soldiers who died in Iraq come back from the grave, not to eat people's brains but to vote W out of office.

Nice 59 minute zombie comedy for us :)

2. Tho I did find the end a little cheesy
But hell - it's a zombie comedy. Caon't really go to serious with that.

It was nice seeing Anne Coulter take a bullet in the back of the head tho..

3. I went to HS with his nephew.
Man, that kid was a fucking dick. Such a slimy loser...he should really become a Republican.

4. Yeah.
Not bad. I preferred watching the Karl Rove character get beaten to death, though.

5. That was classic
Banged his head against a desk until he died of a "massive coronary heart attack" :)

I like how Dante didn't shy away from the vote stealing either!

6. Yep - I really enjoyed it ***SPOILERS***
The makeup was pretty good, I thought, and who wouldn't love it when Cleaver got it in the head while screaming "Bring it on!" to the walking dead! I thought the brother subplot was tacked on and forced, but I guess they had to A) make it personal for our protagonist and B) fill up the full hour.
