I rarely see first run movies in the cinema. Especially Hollywood summer blockbusters.

But somehow I saw these three current hits.

I enjoyed all three, plotless and absurd as they are. Jamie Foxx as President?

Best was World War Z. Brad Pitt works for me.

The zombie CGI are excellent. Actually, I saw it in 3D. Don’t bother. I can’t say the 3D improved the film.

I’m looking forward to the inevitable WW Z sequel(s). And will likely get the book, which I hear is far better.
