28 Weeks Later: Review

The sequel to Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's lean, relentless horror show 28 DAYS LATER (2002), begins with a craven act of betrayal and ends on a mean, sly joke with an apocalyptic punch line. In between, it alternates between creeping dread and sheer panic as the nightmarish rage virus, which transformed most of England into slobbering, flailing, zombified cannibals and the rest into a moving flesh feast, erupts anew. It's been months since the virus escaped an animal te... read more

28 Weeks Later: TV Guide News

DVD Tuesday: The Crazies, Post-Vietnam Cynicism & Homeland Security | Ask FlickChick | 10/8/2007
The sequel to 28 Days Later (2002) — that would be 28 Weeks Later, in case you hadn't guessed — streets today, and it's a good follow-up to one of those films that came from out of the blue and reminded horror fans like me that there's still life in the classic monsters: All it takes is a director/screenwriter team like Danny Boyle and Alex Garland to put a fresh spin on the old tropes. But my pick of the week is an older and shamefully overlooked movie: George Romero's The Crazies (1973), whose influence is all over films as various as a cluster of '80s horror pictures — Impulse and Mutant/Night Shadows (both 1984), Warning Sign (1985) — the mainstream, "respectable" Outbreak (1995), the video-game inspired Resident Evil series and, of course, 28 Days Later.

Box Office: Spidey Slips, But Still Outpacing 1 and 2 | Today's News: Our Take | 5/14/2007
Spider-Man 3 topped the weekend box office with "just" $60 million — a second-week drop larger than the usual 50 percent for a hit, but more than expected for a film which shattered records with a $151.1 mil opening. Plus, the new sequel's 10-day tally ($242.1 mil) is still outpacing that of Nos. 1 and 2 ($223 and $225 mil, respectively). I still think these matters should be measured by numbers of tickets sold, but apparently I am an idiot.Rounding out the weekend's top five were 28 Weeks Later (opening with $10 mil), Georgia Rule (debuting with $5.9 mil, about enough to cover La Lohan's late days), Disturbia ($4.8 mil) and Delta Farce ($3.5 mil). read more
