Z is for Zombie

-
Oh, I know...you probably started thinking I became a zombie (having disappeared from my blogging profile for over a month). Fortunately (unfortunately?) not! Today I'm back with a list of the most entertaining zombie movies out there. According to me anyway (& in spite of the fact that what I should be working on, is my Blog's overall look & feel).
I find it extreeeeeeemely difficult to recommend movies without giving away too much of the plot and/or without the use of verbatim script quotes, but I'll try my best. For you.

Zombie Movie Line-Up
(Note: I thumb-sucked the scene titles.)

Shaun of the Dead will forever be one of the funniest zombie movies I've seen so far!!! Those Brits just know exactly how to tickle my funny bone and I have not yet met anyone else who saw the film & disliked it.

This film also proved to be one of those that my sister & I immediately adopted as a cinematic educational tool. Everyone we knew, heard about it as soon as we saw it & now everyone we meet will inevitably be introduced to it within the first 6 months of our new acquaintance.

Must love Shaun. We're a package deal, people.

Best Scenes: Girl in the Garden, Bar Fight

I actually re-watched Dead & Breakfast last night. Such fun! The first time I heard of it, was when I walked into my sister's bedroom while she was watching it. At first I just pulled a face & said, 'What the fuck are you watching?', but then I sat down & made her play it from the top so I could see it from the beginning.

This movie combined two of my favourite genres - horror & musicals. It's truly awesome.

Best Scenes: Enus, Midnight Snack, Comin' To Kill Ya, The Hoedown


Together, 28 Days Later & 28 Weeks Later comes into play today, too. I was scared shitless purely because of the zombies' speed in these two.

The fear factor was also amplified when I watched them for the first time, because I had no idea what they were about (I just randomly popped them in & pressed 'Play' that morning).

Best Scenes: Haven't seen it either of them in a while, so I can't recall them individually. (Sorry! I will update this post as soon as I've watched it again.)

Zombieland. The collaborative result from a stellar cast & brilliant writers, means it is easily counted amongst my Top 5 & definitely worth the watch.

I, for one, will never think about Woody or Twinkies in the same way again.

Best Scenes: Cardio & The Double-Tap, Bill Murray

Mykines Lighthouse, Faroe Islands

The Mykines Holm lighthouse was built in 1909, but it wasn't the Faroes' first. The first lighthouse was lit way over on the other side of the Faroe Islands in 1782, on the northern part of Nolsoy . Towards the end of the second industrial revolution (a few years before the first world war), it looks like the construction bug bit the Faroe people, because they built the first bridge over  Holmgjogv , as well as the first path from Mykines Bygd   (the  village ) to Mykines Holm (the lighthouse islet) in the same year that they constructed Mykines Holm Lighthouse. There have been twenty-one lighthouses on the islands to date (give or take a few that had to be rebuilt over the years). During World War II all three manned lighthouses - Akraberg, Mykines and Nolsoy, were attacked (bombed). After the war ended in 1945, it took three years to set things in order, rebuild, and clean up the islands. PC: KE Adventure Travel Did You Know? Apparently the summer nigh

Dark Side of the Cookie

If there's one type of weird I find it very hard to love, it's the weird people go to great lengths to manufacture - for attention. Yolandi's body is SICK and I think the dealer is cute (although I would've loved to see more teeth), but they just try way too hard. I don't know. I'm probably missing something.

I Will Wait

Inspired by Krista Williams' 'God's Promise to Abram' on First5 , I want to share with you what I've learned today. God's promises are unchangeable and eternal, and through Jesus Christ, we've already been blessed to receive them. ['He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. ' - Gal 3 :14] All we have to do is obey, wait, and (through unwavering trust in God) drive away the vultures of doubt, fear, and discouragement. This led me to look into what exactly His covenant blessings are and it's all good news, people! THE OLD COVENANT(S): 1. God's covenant with Noah [ ' 18  But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.  19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive wi
