Brad Pitt
Angelina Jolie Style
Angelina Jolie made her first public apperance yesterday since undergoing a double mastectomy to prevent herself getting breast cancer. I am honestly in awe of how brave she is and I have so much respect for her decision. She appeared alongside husband Brad Pitt at the premiere of his new million dollar movie ‘World War Z’ in a gorgeous floorlength black Saint Laurent gown, complete with sheer bodice and open back details, she teamed with minimal make-up and accessories. She then appeared today at the premiere for the same movie in Paris also wearing a black Saint Laurent trouser suit.

Being “feral” is like being cool. The moment you try to do it on purpose, you’ve failed.

One thing is clear about this film, the director has seen zombie movies before.
World War Z is directed by Marc Forster, a director who in my opinion just can’t seem to catch a break in the action genre. Don’t get me wrong I loved Finding Neverland and The Kite Runner, both inspirational and uplifting films, but come on now, Quantum of Solace and Machine Gun Preacher? And now WWZ—money is clearly the motive here.
World War Z is the film adaptation of the book by Max Brooks. I have never read the book, so I will not be comparing the film to it; this review will be solely based on the film’s merit. A viral pathogen threatens mankind as it turns people into violent zombies that topple armies and governments. One man is charged with journeying across the globe in search of an answer to the pandemic…
There are a couple moments in the film where we as an audience get to realize that this is a great film, but not for what it is made for. The writing sends us off in multiple directions and ultimately loses the audience on the film’s point. When the comparison between mother nature and serial killers is formed we begin to think, oh maybe humans did this, maybe there is a lesson to be learned here, but then that point gets quickly dropped. Then I was infatuated by Brad Pitt’s character and his resourcefulness as the minutia in his character’s observational skills slowly gives clues to the audience on solving the pandemic; these skills were taught to himself from his days as an UN Investigator. The film begins to finally finds its bearings in that it is all on Pitt to save the world, kind of ridiculous; so is this film supposed to be a metaphor or a political thriller? And then we get the film’s money shots in which we realize this is a survival movie, but on a grand scale, but then as that begins to develop in the film we are brought right back down again for the film then actually turns into a decent survival horror movie.
One grandiose point I’d like to bring up, that in my opinion was the film’s saving grace from being a total fiasco, were the sequences in Israel. From a sociological standpoint this was remarkable, because the Jewish nation of Israel is comprised of people who have been persecuted for literally thousands of years, it only seemed forthright that they would be the most prepared as one of their analysts explains to Pitt’s character that the nation of Israel has come to embrace logic and implemented normalcy bias into their defensive strategies.
As Brad Pitt traverses around the world in search for an answer, there was a simile I kept thinking about; like a chicken with its head cut off, this film runs around desperately searching for its roots, for it’s completely unoriginal and unfaithful to its zombie roots, but serves as a decent anthropological look into the human potential in surviving an outbreak of biblical proportions.
I know this film only got green lit because of the recent trend humping of the zombie genre, so I’d like to interject a little overview on how one should perceive this genre. The best zombie film of all time, and one you should see before you consider yourself an aficionado of any sort and or even state an opinion about zombies is “George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978).” This film not only is packed with brutally honest social commentary, but it is the reason why we love zombie films as Romero masterfully taps into the human psyche and our natural urge to reign chaos and act out our most ornery inhibitions. If you want to expand your knowledge base even further you’ll watch the cultist masterpiece, also from Romero “Day of the Dead (1980),” this film now expands upon Dawn of the Dead and gets experimental with its own subject matter, but if you want to see how a proper zombie horror/survival film is done, there is Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later,” as its surrealistic take on the human condition warps your perception of reality as Boyle creates a scary scenario that felt all to real for comfort. And obviously ‘The Walking Dead’ series is the best contemporary off-shoot of Dawn of the Dead, for it finally is able to serialize the horror rather than limit it.
WWZ, wasn’t bad, it was fairly good. However, there is a film somewhere in this one that’s an actual great zombie horror-survival film, and hopefully the sequel will get it right. The director of this film has clearly seen zombie movies and used their outline to make WWZ, and that was my main problem with it. One would think with a $200 million budget; a budget, mind you, that’s unheard of for a zombie movie, would have had more originality than this film, but credit is due in that an entertaining zombie movie was made with a PG-13 rating…
2.5/4

Let me clarify. I think this is going to be an awful movie, but damn if it isn’t an awesome book.

“I like giving my sniper rifles the Incendiary effect with console commands for when I have to deal with Ferals.
It’s my own nod to Max Brooks’ novel World War Z, where in the end a new infantry rifle was created to help take back the planet from the zombies, and troops were supplied with special Incendiary ammunition called the NATO 5.56 PIE cartridge.”

Now this is our Sixth World War Z Multiplayer video
and our Second Team Deathmatch video
or as they call it “Swarm Deathmatch”
Also we are back to the “Old Museum” for
this Deathmatch video.
Now this is our Fifth World War Z Multiplayer video
but our first Team Deathmatch video
They call it “Swarm Deathmatch” of course
being you are not only fighting against the other
team but the endless swarms of the Undead
so it works just like any other Team Deathmatch
it just has the added feature of Zombies
Also we are back to the “Old Museum” for
this first Deathmatch video.
Our Fourth World War Z Multiplayer video and its again another of the “Scavenge Raid” this is a quick one being I was dropped into the match at like the last minute or so. but it does feature another map. This is the “Train station” I think its not one of my favorites yes its a pretty good map but there is so many ins and outs it can get kinda confusing and I got lost a few times while playing this one.
Our Third World War Z Multiplayer video
and it is again another of the “Scavenge Raid”
play mode and again we have a different map for this one
its called “Old Museum” its like a medieval castle
type of place I think it was a tourist place before
the zombies showed up. Its a good map
and one that I did enjoy playing on
