Film 172/365, Day 177/365 – xXx

Explosive, extreme and exhilarating.  xXx is an extreme sports, heavy metal version of James Bond.  It is packed full of non-stop action, incredible stunts and yet more action.  I love it and as I am going to Prague tomorrow I thought I would check out the scenery.  ExXxcellent!

Synopsis:  Xander Cage is an extreme sports enthusiast and ends up in trouble after he pulls a stunt which involved stealing a senators car.  Rather than face prison he agrees to work for the NSA.  To regain his freedom he must infiltrate the Anarchy 99 organisation in Prague to find out what they’re up to.

Film 112/365, Day 122/365 – Land of the Dead

What’s scarier than a mindless zombie?  Well, apart from hundreds of mindless zombies…  That’s right!  Zombies that can think and work as a team.  Whilst this sadly isn’t as good as Romero’s previous films it is still an enjoyable watch.  And if I’m honest I am not sure I like the thinking zombies and also how do these stumbling wrecks ever manage to catch people who could just as easily out walk them?  Still good mindless fun!

Synopsis:  The fourth zombie film from legendary director George A. Romero takes place long after the zombie outbreak first occurred.  What is left of the living have fortified themselves inside a city where life goes on as before… almost!  The city is run by a sinister capitalist who sends men out into the nearby towns to scavenge for food and supplies.  The zombies however appear to be regaining some memories and are beginning to work together!
