1. World War Z

Lots of hype for World War Z and I’m not sure why. Funnily enough I saw it as I was reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin, and there are lots of similarities. Except The Twelve is a good book and World War Z an average movie. It features Brad Pitt – many of my friends went to see it for him. It’s the story of a UN staff looking for a way to save the planed from a Zombie invasion/plague. Thin plot, and the zombies are not really scary. Too many glitches in the story for my liking and at the end of the day, not much happening. I should have watched it on a plane.
