TUGG

Dang, I have been gone for sometime now. With that being said, and putting aside my American College Football addiction aside, I should be back to my favorite topic, films. Over the past several years I have not had as much to say primarily because my time has been spent trying to live and catch up on television. I have seen a lot and can recommend many, but this has put a dent in my film reviewing. So in an effort to get back, I am watching more and look to post 4 reviews a month at least. On top of that, I am currently trying to figure out a film to screen in Birmingham, AL over the summer from the ones below. Please leave a comment if you would be willing to see one of these films in a theater and I will try and setup a screening for the one that has the most votes.

1. "Aah! Zombies!" directed by Matthew Kohnen in 2007.
Description: Turning the zombie film on its head, this film is an oddball comedy from the perspective of the brain munching monsters themselves.

2. "Birth of a Nation" directed by D.W. Griffith in 1915.
Description: Almost a century after its release, The Birth of a Nation remains one of the most controversial films ever made...a landmark achievement that continues to fascinate and enrage audiences.

3. "Metropolis: the 2010 version" directed by Fritz Lang in 1927.

In a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city's mastermind falls in love with a working class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences.
