New Beverly Cinema

I finally made it to the New Beverly Cinema last night, a cheaply priced ($6, dollar off with student ID... Woo!) theater that does the revival-type thing that I remember so fondly from Boston. Often its a two-for-one double bill. We have the Coolidge Corner theater in Brookline, and the Brattle in Harvard Square for the same idea, although those are both on public transit and I had to drive to the Beverly. At least I have friends who always think to car pool!

Last night's escape from finals studying was fittingly a duo of recent zombie movies. First there was the usual action movie hoopla of the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead. I saw the original Romero movie a really long time ago.

The second movie was 28 Days Later, a bit more thoughtful take on the genre, with examination of biological weapons and depths of human depravity mixed in. I expected something different, since this was directed by the guy that did Trainspotting. Fun.
