4 Reel - Zomedies

Here we go! My second installment of 4 Reel, in which I pick 4 movies that fit a certain theme and describe them in 4 words. My last 4 Reel post was Samurai movies. Tonight I'm going with a newer genre of film... the Zomedy. Zombie movies are not new, but in the past 5 years or so Zombies have been hot. And so easy to make fun of... BRAINZZZZZ.


Zombieland - Surprising. Hilarious. Bill Murray.







Fido - Campy. Cute. Satire. Calm.





Dead Snow - Predictable. Gory. Striking Imagery.





Shaun of The Dead - Best. Zombie. Movie. Ever.

4 Reel - Samurai Films

I'm gonna start a new feature... themed movie lists. Lists of 4 films that I think are awesome. And rather than try and be a movie critic, I'll think of 4 words that describe each movie, then include the trailer and IMDb link so you can explore them for yourself.

My first theme? Samurai Movies. One of my favorite genres, because the idea of Samurai is so intriguing to me. Grace, honor, violence, pride. These four all contain those elements, but are all quite different.



Onibaba. Eerie, desperate, strange, lonely.






Taboo. Beautiful, ambiguous, obsession, secrets.






Rashomon. Uncertain, Psychological, humanity, powerful.






Twilight Samurai. Honor, sacrifice, family, grief.
