video review : Dawn Of The Dead

video review : Dawn Of The Dead

Night Of The Living Dead is a horror classic. Dawn, the title of which suggests it takes place the following morning; if the background calendars are up to date, it’s actually over a decade later; is a mess.

This, in comparison to the original, is easily the worst movie sequel I’ve ever seen. The narrative degradation from a serious thriller to what at times seems like wacky slapstick is staggeringly disappointing.

That the ghoul-shooting protagonists are no longer confined to a small house; most of this story takes place in an “indoor” shopping mall; is part of the problem. The rest has to do with the deadpan plot.

Great Value Ice Cream [ Holiday ] : Frozen Hot Chocolate

Great Value Ice Cream [ Holiday ] : Frozen Hot Chocolate

This ice cream isn’t regular chocolate labeled Hot Chocolate to make more people buy it. It really tastes like hot chocolate, cocoa rather, especially when melted down to gooey lumps as I do when eating ice cream at home.

What rich and delicious hot cocoa it is. A lot of that has to do with the inclusion of caramel, which adds an extra winter-boot-kick of sweetness. There’s also a marshmallow swirl and chocolate chunks added to the mix.

Great Value Ice Cream [ Holiday ] : Egg Nog

Great Value Ice Cream [ Holiday ] : Egg Nog

There is artificial flavor added, but this Walmart Ice Cream includes all the basic ingredients of Egg Nog. The taste suggests it wouldn’t be good egg nog; think of that old adage of getting what you pay for; but it works as ice cream. My main gripe is Holiday being used as a euphemism for “Christmas”.
