I like that movie... that is a nice movie. I have watched Shrek at least once every couple of years since its release and the charm has yet to fade. The fact that it manipulates fairy tales in the manner that it does is kinda genius. The plot of Shrek may seem formulaic and mostly predictable because it is, so were all those fairy tales you knew growing up and that's not a bad thing. Memorable stories are often the simplest ones and that's how fables, folk legends, and fairy tales often survive the test of time. Shrek with a twist of irony, has become a modern-day fable of its own. The animation, while it may seem dated to some, I find it exactly what it needs to be and a few flaws that are present feel pointless to be picky about it. Gotta say I love this 'whirlwind adventure'.

"They're coming to get you, Barbara." Luckily she'll be ready this time around. This remake does what I feel is the absolute minimum that any remake should do and that's improve upon its predecessor. While there is no denying the contribution of Romero's original to the horror genre, it was rough around the edges, to say the least. While I will say this one doesn't fully smooth those edges, it certainly does a mighty good job at showing the range of reactions to an unknown life-or-death crisis within 24 hours. 'Night' also exhibits the proper use of social commentary, where it's not shoved down the throat but it is present to all who pay attention. The original played on racism and this one switched to sexism but neither sacrificed the story for a social agenda spotlight. This is not a zombie movie, but rather a movie with zombies in it, and the same can be said for its original. I dug it and it's relieving to see a proper remake.

Lord & Miller are a pair of master car dealers in another life because I can't see how a pitch meeting to make a movie based on a show from the turn of the 90s and add a comedic twist would end with a studio and producers saying, "Here, take my money!". On top of that, to come out the other side and deliver on that with a solid movie. We get a little nod or two to the original show and the spirit of what it used to be does reside at the core of this comedy. Will watch the sequel at some point.
