CHRISTMAS LOOKS GRIM.....BUT GREAT.


Usually we think of roaring fires and Santa Claus when the Christmas season rocks round. The cinema usually has animated chipmunks and something involving moppets playing for the kids..............not this year. One of the most bleak and depressing movies FINALLY gets a release date this Christmas....THE ROAD.


Now rather than being depressing due to dire acting and a story that plays out like a 3 year old has just written it, It's depressing on purpose. It's the end of the world and a father and son fight to stay alive when everything around them is either dead, dying, or trying to kill whats left.


Not your usually festive movie, but I reckon this is going to end 2009 with an apocalyptic bang....and if that wasn't enough 2010 seems to be taking the "END OF THE WORLD" and zombie theme, which has dominated 2009, and releasing a movie named "THE CRAZIES".


THE CRAZIES is a remake of a 70's horror movie by the master George Romero, but rather than go for the full on zombie movie (which i think we've seen a lot of recently) they've gone down a more realistic route and used the horrors that people do and made the "zombie" in the film more of a metaphor......which kinda makes it more brutal and vicious than a stumbling blood covered movie zombie. Timothy OLYPHANT and Rahda MITCHELL star as residents of a small town that come under the effects of a chemical that makes everyone go mental and start killing.


I'm a horror nut, so both movies look awesome in their unique way....her are the trailers...and a pic of the very sexy Rahda MITCHELL.


Enjoy.
