Shaun of the Dead - DVD Review


The zombies in Shaun of the dead at first treat Shaun as if it is a video game, and he hasn't inserted his coin into the machine. Shaun takes trips to the convenience store for Diet Coke amongst the living dead. It is business as usual on the streets of England. It isn't until Shaun and his side-kick, Ed, get attacked by what they assume to be a tipsy drunk girl in the back yard that reality finally hits. Something bad is going on with the world.

Shaun's heart burns for Liz, who has just dumped him. The coin is now in the machine. It is now that the game starts. Liz is in the world of zombies. The movie calls for a hero. Shaun is just the man. By the way, Shaun's mom is in danger, too. it is time to go and kick some zombie tail.

Our characters need a base to ward of the attack. Is there a better place for the movie to progress to than the safety of a pub? It has good locks on the doors, and we can drink beer and blast Queen.

But the zombies have followed us and pretty soon they are banging at the door. Before too long, they are busting in on our crew. If you want to see side-kicks get turned into hamburger by forty zombies, wait until our know it all friend, Dave, decides he wants to leave the pub and go off on his own.

Does the world return to normal, and does Shaun get the girl?

In 1992, Burlington Northern Railroad asked him to design their popular SD70MAC Executive color scheme. Altogether, Andy has drawn over a thousand trains, from steam to modern diesel and cars, cabooses and other equipment. He has been commissioned to paint trains for many of the railroad historical societies and museums.
