Zombie Walk to End Hunger

  This past Saturday, something awesome, and terrifying if you didn't know what was going on, happened in Enfield Connecticut. On August 13th, a great thing happened, the zombie community came together for a greater cause other than eating people; to help other people eat.

   The First Annual Enfield Zombie Walk was created in order to help those in need at the Enfield Food Shelf, a local food shelter opened in 1968 offering free food to needy local families. In order to walk the 0.8 mile course, the entrance fee was $5 and 3 canned food items. The walk began at John F. Kennedy Middle School, where makeup artists were supplied for those not as sfx gifted as others, and ended at the Enfied Fire Department. Once they reached the firehouse the fun didn't stop there. They were greeted by tons of music, food, drinks, a costume contest with prizes, tons of zombie vendors, and a huge thriller dancer performed by the horde. The best part was, that all proceeds went straight to the food shelter.

   I have to say, it's great to see a community come together, have some fun, and do some good in the process. If you want more information on the walk as well as getting involved in next year's, visit the Zombie Walk Website HERE. This is a great program and I definitely would have gone if I had heard about it sooner. But, I promise all of you, that I will be there next year and I'll provide updates throughout the year on both this and similar local events.

Movie Review: Doghouse

Now, I know I haven't posted anything in a while but I've been quite busy with an actual job and haven't had time to post anything. Now with that said, lets get into it.

  Friday night I watched another zombie movie I've never seen before. Unlike the last one i watched, i chose to go to the top of the netflix: watch instantly playlist instead of the very bottom. The number one is The Return of the Living Dead (which I've seen) and in the number 2 spot was this movie: Doghouse.
This cleverly named movie is about a group of guys going out for a guys weekend to cheer-up their recently divorced buddy Vince (Stephen Graham [Snatch and Gangs of New York] ). The beginning opens with an introduction of each character, the majority f which piss-off their spouses, when they tell them about their weekend with the guys, who in turn put them "in the doghouse" (ha ha I see what they did there). Well, as it turns out, the town they're vacationing to has been experimented on with viral dish detergent and it's turned all the women (only) into man hating, weapon wielding, cannibalistic murders.

    As ridiculous as this concept sounds, it was actually a really good movie. I'm sure these actors are big over in England but I only recognized Graham. Now, the way I do things, I don't read the description of these movies, I just find one and go into it blindly. I find it more enjoyable to not know the plot and have everything about it be a surprise to me; and believe me, this one was. One of the most shocking moments of this movie was when the birthday girl zombie was introduced. Pictured right, this...sexy...zombie takes one of the main characters hostage, cuts off a pinkie finger, and then uses it to scrape frosting off of the cake and provocatively licked the frosting off the severed appendage. Gross! But, one thing that was nice was that all (or most) of the other women zombie were pretty sexy. At one point, the guys, being guys, talk about which one they'd do if they weren't all zom-b-fied.
   This movie is filled with action, comedy, T&A, and lots of gore! While the concept may be kinda weird, it doesn't change the fact that this is a great movie! But, guys, make sure not to watch this with a girlfriend because it boasts both independent male ideals as well as anti-feminism and the concept that all women are insane, blood-thirsty psychos.A true guy flick. I give it 4.5 Stars
