Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Paul Magne Haakonsen I do enjoy zombie movies, but unfortunately most of the zombie movies that flood the market are just not worth the effort. I bought "Disaster L.A." from Amazon based on the praise and rating it had received. However, this movie was nowhere near my expectations.Let's start with the good things; zombies. Yes, anything with zombies is good. And there was a consistent and coherent flow to the movie. The best part of it all would have to be the music, though.Sadly, the bad parts far outweigh the good parts. First of all, you see maybe ten zombies throughout the entire movie. Seriously? In a zombie outbreak taking place in Los Angeles and you see ten infected individuals, no, no, no... It just reeks of low budget. And while we are on the topic of zombies, then they succumbed to the classic error of low budget zombie movies; putting make-up on the face only and forgetting about the rest of exposed flesh on the zombie actor. It was just so bad. And those contact lenses, seriously?The story was also flawed. Especially with the fact that the US military bombing Los Angeles without having exhausted all other possible options. It was just stupid.What I hated the most about "Disaster L.A." was the awful camera-work. The frame was constantly in motion, swaying back and forth, which was a major nuisance. Had they opted to use proper camera rigging, there would have been such a better production value to the movie."Disaster L.A." is a zombie movie that came and went without even leaving the smallest of dents, except for a small one on my wallet.

joshuadrake-91275 DISASTER L.A. : THE LAST ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE BEGINS HERE is really stupid, but it is good. Another guilty pleasure of mine! When meteors strike Los Angeles, the massive destruction they cause is the least of the city's worries as it's inhabitants begin to fall deathly ill from the resulting smoke. But when the dead begin to reanimate and feed off the living, five friends make a run for the coast before they can be killed by the infected - or worse, by government forces who will fight to contain the situation at any cost - in any nightmarish no-holds barred thriller.That is just the plot and this movie is just super stupid, but it is really good and just fantastic and was really amazing.The direction of the movie is directed by Turner Clay, who also does the music, editing, cinematography and also executive produced this film. His direction is so incredibly scary that the dialogue he writes is just very scary and intense.The music is over-creepy as hell and the music has a great memorable feel to it that makes you believe that this is going to be a zombie movie. The acting is dreadful in a few areas, but hell, the actors really tried. Justin Ray, Jerod Meagher, Stefanie Estes, Ron Hankks, Michael Taber, Dennis Leech and Morgan Jackson plays the characters in the film and some of them does seem to drag in a few areas.The make-up for the zombies is really gory and scary, but this movie did not have a very large budget and that's what I like about some of these movies, is that with a few action movies, scary films, sci-fi, comedy, drama, musical or teen movies, that you don't need a very, big huge budget to make that kind of movie genre film that you wanted to do.The editing is awkward in a few areas, but it works for this kind of zombie flick and it really does show a lot in this feature presentation. The visuals, set design, story and plot is really amazing as hell, a little cheesy in a few areas, but it really does show as well.Overall, DISASTER L.A.: THE LAST ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE BEGINS HERE is just stupid, but also creepy and really good. My sister Shaliyah, who is a twin to the other sister, Aaliyah, says that this film is not stupid, but the other two movies involving zombies, ZOMBIELAND and WORLD WAR Z are stupid, but also really, really good.I give it a 7 out of 10.

GL84 Following a meteor crash into Los Angeles, the release of toxic fumes turns the citizens into ravenous blood-crazed zombies and forces several unaffected friends to try to make it to safety against the increasing swarm of creatures.This was quite a disappointing zombie effort that didn't have a lot of worthwhile elements to it. One of the few areas this gets right is the opening intro to the aftermath throughout here which manages to come off incredibly well as there's some great times to the group awakening the night after and seeing the chaos unleashed in the aftermath, as the devastated buildings, smoke and fires, emergency contacts and even the concerned citizens left alongside showcase a pretty real-life scenario that almost plays it off too much like a disaster movie rather than a horror effort. Still, the effectiveness of these scenes delves right into the panic of the situation and how to get out safely, leading in turn into the race to get out of the city with the swarming zombie hordes getting put into the story with some nice scenes here with the realization that takes place in the apartment, the race to overcome the hordes of dwellers in the parking garage while getting off the film's best suspense scene as the one roommate must get around his zombiefied house-mate without alerting the rest of the zombies on the floor to his presence while retrieving the keys to a working car and finally the mad dash to escape at the end where the film really makes the action work nicely in the mini-confrontations that occur resulting in some nice gore as well. However, there's still a lot wrong with this one starting with the utterly inane characters on here who are some of the biggest morons in the genre. Despite ample opportunities shown that they're dealing with zombies they still manage to think that there's no way possible for any of their friends to become one which leads them into rooms and opening up doors for the zombie masses to appear when it was more appropriate for stealth and ignorance to keep them out of harm's way which puts them into danger for nearly every one of the encounters throughout here. Likewise, the fact that they're introduced at a party with all manner of aggravating, annoying behavior and uninteresting story lines means that for the most part we're not following anybody all that interesting and most of their deaths are more euphoric than depressing based on the circumstances surrounding them. That also leads into the film's biggest problem which is the rather halfhearted attempt at zombie films in here by focusing more on the disaster scenario of the meteor strike in the first half, their refusal to believe the danger in the second half and basically make the film's few zombie encounters throughout here the product of their own stupidity with this only having a handful of attacks anyway, forcing them into the backlog of their own film. It's the single biggest mark here that drags this one down.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

Woodyanders A meteor shower causes fires throughout Los Angeles. The toxic smoke from said fires makes anyone who inhales it transform into a lethal flesh-eating zombie. A close-knit group of friends try to survive the chaotic zombie outbreak by escaping to the coast.Writer/director Tanner Clay keeps the taut and gripping story moving at a constant brisk pace, creates a strong mood of dread and doom, delivers a considerable amount of nerve-rattling suspense, and maintains a tough gritty tone throughout. Moreover, Clay relates the apocalyptic scenario at a poignant and intimate human level that gives the familiar, yet still effective and engrossing premise an extra potent emotional punch. The sound acting from a capable no-name cast holds the picture together, with especially praiseworthy contributions from Justin Roy as nice guy John, Jerod Meaghan as John's rowdy brother Turner, Ron Hanks as the antsy Scott, Michael Tabor as the geeky Adam, and Stefanie Estes as John's fetching ex-girlfriend Tori. The zombies look really creepy and the CGI effects are overall acceptable. Clay's dynamic widescreen cinematography makes exciting and energetic use of a hand-held camera. Clay's ominous pulsating score does the heart-pounding trick. Worth a watch for avid zombie horror fans.
