Feliz Cumpleanos, Miguel!




The FAMILY got together to celebrate Mikey's 45th. The pictures were taken in front of Udupi, an Indian vegetarian place in Cary on Sept 13. Excellent food. For Indian food fans, I can also recommend Bombay Grill in Durham. So, back to the movies... for the discriminating afficianado of fine zombie films, I must mention "28 Days Later." It's intelligent. Me and Mikey watched "The Plague of the Zombies" (1966) last night...it's a Hammer film, which means it's British and the blood is extra red. And speaking of blood, "Dead Alive" is billed as the bloodiest movie ever made, and they are talking about shear volume. It's actually almost a comedy. It is from New Zealand; the original title was "Braindead" and it was made by Peter Jackson...you might remember him from a little trilogy of films called "Lord of the Rings." If you need to kill a couple of hours and don't care how you do it, you can give a viewing to "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies" (1964). Seriously, that's the title. This is probably the 2nd worst movie ever made. I liked the costar with the thick Eastern European accent and the speech impediment. Without subtitles he was utterly unintelligible. I'm so happy that movies this bad actually get made. * * * A shout out to my nieces...Arrianne and Allanna who are 15 and 13. Happy birthday, girls!!!!
