Daycare Nightmare


I must confess that I am a compulsive shopper, especially when it comes to books. I like to buy whatever I can, for the thrill of a getting a good book out of a pile of seemingly worthless ones.

Zombie Wars



I've seen very little Indie films in my lifetime, and maybe, for good reason: they are very weird. Here's another Indie film I've watched, out of boredom and frugality. It's a zombie flick (hence the title), set in an apocalyptic present-time when zombies and humans have been engaged in war for fifty years already. The narrator in the opening scene describes that zombies appeared from under the earth and started eating humans they could get their hands on. Those who managed to survive formed tiny groups of resistance against the zombies. From an early age, these humans train in fighting and live in military-like fashion, to equip themselves against the zombies.

The film focuses on a sort of platoon of humans, lead by a female general.
