As most of you that read my blog know I am not a fan of remakes, however this weeks lazy Sunday movie is the 2004 remake of Dawn Of The Dead. This isn't exactly a remake, a tale that is similar to another would be a better description. This movie brought Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300, Man Of Steel) to my attention. I was impressed that this movie provided nods to the original, especially a cool cameo by Ken Foree, without being to obvious. Ving Rhames is brilliant in his role of mediator of the group, Ty Burrell (Modern Family) is great in an early role as the misogynistic Steve and Mekhi Phifer is also great at portraying Andre, a dark role for him. This film should be given far more credit than it does as one of the very few credible horror remakes. Check out the trailer below:
