Zombie Walk in London

Zombie Walk 2009

Once you along with your fellow undead friends gather at the Waxy O’Connors on Rupert Street to check out your costumes and what is available for you to wear, you can have a refreshing drink or two. The Zombie Walk London Crew heads throughout the capital during the noon time and onto the evening before finishing your journey at The Verve on Upper St Martins Lane, sound and safe before the hour of witching.


Day of the Undead

If you are wondering, which type of Zombie suits you the best and is a perfect match for you, there are plenty of predator Zombies and undead movies about, so pick your kind from those inspiring flicks, like 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead and Day of the Dead for ideas on how to get make up for the undead look right and to perfect your walk as a Zombie. When one is out on streets with a make over like that of a Zombie, he has to make sure that he is dressed and behaves completely like a Zombie all the times, so put your best make up and bedraggled clothing.
The event for Zombie Walk is scheduled to be starting at 2 pm, which is planned to be continued all around the city for several hours.

Film Review: The Men Who Stare at Goats

· Running time: 90 mins

· Four out of Five stars

The men who stare at goats

This is an overwhelmingly enjoyable and immensely hilarious drama comedy with an outstanding script and wonderful performances from McGregor, Clooney and Jeff Bridges.
Based on the non-fiction bestseller, The Men Who stare At Goats, is the funniest and one of the most terrific movies of this year. Starring some fabulous award winners, the story is somewhat like this: A journalist from Michigan, Bob Wilton, comes to Kuwait, hopeful to prove himself to her separated wife (Rebecca Mader) by finding a war story that will make his name. However, he gets more than what he had expected as he happens to meet Lynn Cassady, an operator from special Forces (George Clooney) who informs him that he is a part of a secret squad of psychic spies who got trained in the 1980s by a warrior named Bob Django (Jeff Bridges).
As Lynn accompanies Bob on a mysterious mission in the hot zone, Lynn narrates more of his stories, like the details of their powers (such as reading minds, killing goats by staring at them, psychic visions) and the eventual breal up of the unit because of the envious traps by colleague Larry Hooper (Kevin Spacey). Bob discovers himself with a story for a lifetime when Bob’s secret mission gets revealed.

The most enjoyable part of the film is the script as it skillfully weaves together the two strands within the story in an unexpected way with conclusions that are both surprisingly thought- provoking and moving. The script however has ensured not to take the audience into supernatural believing of things around them. Clooney has played the star of the show as he delivered one of his best performances as Lynn, blending effortlessly, his strong gift for deadpan comedy with emotionally engaging and entertaining hint of madness.
