Diary of the Dull. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Romero has 3 GREAT films: Crazies, Martin, and Dawn of the Dead. The rest fall between decent (Bruiser, Night of the Living dead) to awful (all the other Dead films, his half of Two Evil Eyes, Monkey shines, etc.).
I'm glad you like it, but I personally think it's boring and just completely dull in every way. It's more of Romero's half-baked "social commentary". Holy shit, we live in the internet age! Technology! PARANOIA!! WARFARE! It's the same bullshit he's been hitting us over the head with for years. It's just dull. Almost nothing happens in the film.
The acting's good, the directing's excellent.. I love the long shots without cuts, pretty revolutionary actually to not cut away at all from the gore.. a very CLEVER film but it doesn't really say anything that hasn't been said, not to mention that it's .. it's just like nothing, you know? NOTHING happens in the film really. It's just people driving around and running around and video taping shit.
Very very meh. A good idea though. Would've made for a really cool short film.
