THESE ARE MY OWN OPINIONS - AND MIGHT BE DIFFERENT THAN YOURS
OK, I think that while some of the special features were good, most were a let down. Filled with horrible acting and they seemed very VERY amateurish:
Andy's Video Diary : A noble attempt to give him some back story, but it is really contrived and goofy. Like anyone would let the video camera go like he did. And to see him turn zombie takes away from the scene in the movie. Nice how they edited the sound bites from the cast on the radio, but it really didn't work for me.
The guy's a good actor, but the whole idea just fell flat a bit.
Special Report : I was hoping that this would be a compilation of the news footage either seen in the actual movie or stuff that was cut out.
Instead it was a mocj news cast with B rolls to on the scene reports.
The news caster was adequate, especially at the end when he got emotional, and I LOVED the "Infested" graphic over the map of the US.
What I didn't like was that the cut aways to the field reporters, especially the reporter in the hospital where they showed a zombie attacking was "move around your seat uncomfortable".
I expected more professionalism in the acting, but what I got was a Seduction Studios level of acting.
I'm a sucker for newsbroadcasts that show how the rest of the world is dealing with a diaster - but this was kinda bad.
The survival guy at the end, Tom Savini hamming it up (someone STOP letting him ad lib, PLEASE!), the kids in the basement....
I have such a hard time, after the actual movie showed how fast the zombie plague spread, that even in the span of a day that there would be interviews with authors at home, or reporters in areas that nothing happened at yet.
Good, but could have been a lot better if they just stayed away from "from the field" snippets.
Zombie make up : I can't remember the title, but it was a behind the scenes showing many zombie make ups featured in the movie.
The One armed Japanese Jogger was the fucking BEST!
A nice piece of filler. Fun.
Another Zombie makeup thing : Once again, I can't remember the actual title, but this showed the MANY extras being made up as zombies. Good stuff.
Anatomy of Exploding Heads : Head shots and bullet hits. A fun, informative piece.
Deleted scenes - with/without commentary : Some extra shots, alternate takes, extended scenes.
Some good stuff, and other things you see why they took it out.
I liked this, especially with the commentary with Zack Snyder and the guy who played Steve Markus (a REALLY funny guy).
Recommended, just to see the original "door" scene, and what really happened on the loading dock.
Director's Commentary: with Zack Snyder, the Steve Markus guy, and others...
DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO LISTEN TO IT.
Shaun of the Dead trailer - awesome, as you know it would be!
I swear though, Shaun of the Dead is the NEWEST movie that internet fan boys are greasing their pants over...
It's nice to see the love this movie is getting, but there's so much jumping on the bandwagon concerning this movie that it's sickening!
...at least until Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy comes out...then there will be a whole NEW British loving frenzy out there.
I hate buzzwords!
SO... that's the deal, fuck ass.
You have been warned!
