The actress I feel did a really good job transforming into a zombie. She really got into character. I also like the way the fight scenes they had where great especially the way he hit her with the toilet lid. Another thing I like about this film is the humor and the relationship between Columbus and Tallahassee.The scene when Tallahassee and Columbus are driving and Columbus opens his car door and wacks the female zombie in the head with the door, I thought was hilarious and well thought out. Now one of my all time favorite parts is when they get to the Blaine's Grocery .
“Greasy Lake,” by T. Coraghessan Boyle, is the coming of age tale of three young “tough guys” who discover the real meaning of tough in the visceral forms of violence and mortality. In an ill-fated party trip to Greasy Lake, the boys inadvertently attract the enraged attention of a true-to-life tough guy, and in the ensuing fight the narrator strikes down the older, stronger, man. The boys, pumping with adrenaline, attack the unconscious man’s date in a serendipitously aborted rape attempt, then flee to the woods and into the lake itself for safety from reprisal. In the course of the escape, the protagonist undergoes a series of psychological shocks, effectively beginning his transformation into an adult. The boys set themselves against middle class society, posing as “dangerous characters” (Boyle 77), and costuming themselves in “torn-up leather jackets,…[while striking] elaborate poses to show that [they] didn’t give a shit about anything” (Boyle 77).

When he sees people running, he thinks it's a race. Nazis (Jackboots, as the children call them) marching through the streets appear to him as a delightful parade of magnificent boots. He wants to be a Jackboot! (Uri smacks him for saying this.) He compares bombs to sauerkraut kettles, machine guns to praying mantises, and tanks to "colossal gray long-snouted beetles."
Of Mice and Men Essay In the movie Of Mice and Men the beginning of the movie is significantly different then the beginning of the book. In the beginning of the book George and Lennie are walking down a path toward a ranch to work at. In the beginning of the movie George and Lennie are running away from a big group of guys that are chasing them. I think this scene is George and Lennie running away from the town Weed. After successfully escaping Weed they find a running train and stowaway on it to their destination.

Many of the acts these men participate in are odd and rather ridiculous: driving street illegal home made limos around London's busiest streets, and driving average Carolas through swamps hopping if they drive fast enough they will make it to the other side-are just a few examples of their craziness. The humor not only comes from their attempts but from their failures, often times shadowed by their cast mates harassing comments. I have found myself many a times laughing so hard my stomach hurts when James and Richard gang up and make puns about how Jeremy should 'abandon ship' now before he sinks to the bottom of the swamp with his car after trying to drive it at full speed into the water... only to get stuck in the middle of the murky
Ben: Very nice, good spirited, sometimes shy, hard working, loves to just drive around, loves his parents, loves his girlfriend Kim, tough, and a scholar. Al: Not so nice, mean spirited, not shy at all, loves to go to parties and get drunk, loves to pull pranks on people, his dad really loves the sport of wrestling, tough, and not so much a scholar. Both: Hard working, nice to girls, love food, and both are really wanting to have the chance to go
Book summary for the outsiders Ponyboy Curtis belongs to a lower-class group of Oklahoma youths who call themselves greasers because of their greasy long hair. Walking home from a movie, Ponyboy is attacked by a group of Socs, the greasers’ rivals, who are upper-class youths from the West Side of town.

Ponyboy’s rescuers include his brother Sodapop, a charming, handsome high-school dropout, and Darry, Ponyboy’s oldest brother (Darry assumed responsibility for his brothers when their parents were killed in a car crash).
Contrary to his unwavering independence in technique and style Spike Lee has taken on the challenge of film remake. Remaking a movie is always tricky, particularly when the original has an already strong following. The 2013 remake of the Past Chan-wook’s classic, Old Boy had Lee’s critics wondering why he engaged in such a dark film. When Chan-wook’s Old Boy hit theatres in 2003, it was praised for its unique structure, it’s magnificent and action packed fight scenes, and it’s visual flair, making Spike Lee a very bold choice to adapt the film for an American audience. It’s not a shot for shot remake of the original or the 2003 version, but like Chan-wook’s version, it’s graphic so don’t watch this on a fall stomach.
