The Crazies (2010)

This movie is a remake of the 1973 classic film of the same name.  By the previews one may think it’s a zombie movie of some sort, but actually, the infected people are crazy because of a military bio-weapon that was accidentally release onto a small rural town. The town sheriff, his wife, and his deputy are desperately trying to flee the town from the military, whose bound to wipe out those infected, as well as the Crazies themselves.

Co-written by the Godfather of zombie and zombie-esque writer/director, George Romero, this movie includes many subtlies of social commentary. Even though this is not a true zombie flick, it is one of the best horror/action movie since 2004’s Dawn of the Dead.

Rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆

Hitman

I played the first Hitman game on PC and it was good, and the sequel was even better. The Hitman franchise span across many different console systems and now it’s a major motion picture. Timothy Olyphant wasn’t someone I can picture playing a an emotionless mercenary killer, Agent 47. But he’s able to pull it off quite well in this entertaining movie. Agent 47 is hired for a kill, but turns out he was being used for a cover-up. Now, 47 is on the run to find out the real truth and elude a CIA agent who has been tracking him and his assasination hits across the globe.
